Hi everyone! Unfortunately, my sweet corgi Char needs to see a vet pretty urgently, so I'm trying to push my commissions! I do TTRPG/D&D, FFXIV, OCs, and many other characters! My prices start at $20 for sketches and $40 for colors! Shares and any support would be really appreciated! 💕

Hey, I thought I'd introduce myself! 🎃 To my new and old followers, this is me! (I didn't mention the obvious dislikes like fascism, gen AI, terfs, billionaires and such, but I wanna mention that here bc if you follow me, you should know that I absolutely hate all of that with a burning passion😎)

Drawing of a typical Meet the Artist page. On the top it says my name "Riley", my birth year 1992 and my prounouns they-them as well as non binary, AuDHD and the city I live in, Bremen, Germany. The figure on the left is supposed to be me. I've drawn my pink-orange mullet, my flushed cheeks and a big grin, that looks a little uncomfortable haha. I'm wearing a sleeveless blue t-shirt with the Paramore "all we know is falling" album cover (a red sofa beneath trees and on a patch of grass), blue shorts, purple socks and green converse sneakers. I'm holding my sketchbook covered in stickers in my right hand. My left hand is covered by a big yellow sticky note that has all my hobbies on it: drawing, making lino prints, junk journaling, beaded bracelets, fanart, zines, stickers, tumblr, photocards, dying my hair, riding my bike, gym. On the right there is a rough sketch of a ripped out page that has my likes and dislikes on them. Likes: Iced latte, pizza with garlic dip, sleeping in, making playlists based on vibes, trees, AO3. Dislikes: temperatures over 25 degrees celsius, sudden loud noises, that my friends live too far away, people who cross the road when the traffic light is red, intrusive thoughts, chores. everything is decorated with lots of colorful stars, the background is bright green and the top two banners are purple and pink.

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material drive.google.com/file/d/1NRzg... Here's a small sampling:

A closeup view of an ornate cuirass and tasset, showing heart-shaped designs along the edges of the metal panels.An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs.A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.

Always encourage beginner artists! It will help them keep going, their love for art growing, and maybe one day you’ll see them again, making art for your favorite piece of media, teaching others art, or making people smile with their work. :)

I read that apparently fandoms nowadays are very hung up on their ships being "canon". No idea if that's true but I'd like to remind you of how fun crackships and rare pairs are. Free urself of the shackles of "canon". Just go buckwild. Ship those nameless NPCs that never interacted! BE FREE

June 2026 marks my ten year anniversary of being a self-employed artist - now I give up. Seriously. Today sucked big time. The car being just the cherry on top. I know there will come better times and I'll do everything in my power to turn the tides but I'd really could use some help now.

Textpost: Hi, I need your help. I struggle to find the right words and I really hesitated to make this post, but long story short. I’m currently financial wise in a very dire situation. Today I got hit by a heavy bill I cannot pay on my own (car repairs and I do need the car for upcoming conventions in August) Also there soon will come up other expenses, I do not have the funds for anymore. Doddles of two cats in the bottom "The expenses Krümel... and Muffin"Textpost: How did this happen? Lately conventions and sales didn’t work out as well, as I was used to (if I even got into) I lost a long term project at the beginning of the year, one day before it should actually start - which messed up my planning completely and I couldn’t replace it since then. On top of that I have been on and off sick since early 2025 - making me unable to work fulltime … and draining my savings. Because next to being exhausting and hindering me to do my job, the now known reason was bad and needed treatment, but not that bad that you’d die off from - so… you pay everything by yourself :D At least I feel much better already - hurray. Textpost: What now? I am in the process of retiring (or at least significantly shrinking down) my freelancing and am looking for an employed job, which can support me and my comic making. Something I do not want and can never give up. However… It will be still until September before I have wrapped up all my current obligations and can make the switch and with these new bills I am so, so scared to pile up debts I don’t know how to get rid of again. It really terrifies me. (And regularly puts me in a panic freeze, making me unable to work again - doesn’t help either) Textpost: So I am turning to you asking. If you have the means to help and ever enjoyed my art or a story of mine. Can you help me? Buy something in my Shop or Commission me. Maybe join my Patreon for longer time support to help stabilize me, until I figured out this situation. If you can not - and I really do understand! I’d love a share. Everything helps. Thank you.

Coverillustration of the webcomic "Choose - The Agony of Choice" by Carolin Reich. A red tiefling, holding a bloody dagger looking astonished. Lizards crawling over him. Two dark hands coming from behind and resting on his shoulders. An eerie big eye flows behind him. It has a overall very dark and eerie vibe. Muted colors.

Patreons saw it first. I am getting ready to lock in to continue VA7 - so I wanted to draw the girls and try out some things and this happened. Not much thought behind, just draw and suddenly there was a finished piece. Haha. Enjoyed it a lot and like the result. Hope you too! <3

Nocturne and Cosima from the Comic "Vom Anfang" standing back to back. Both look a little sad, while Nocturne seems to just accept the situation, Cosima looks up still searchng for a way forward. A golden halo is behind them.

I’m currently pretty swamped with work. Things should improve in a little over a month. In the meantime, here is an illustration from last month that started as a simple study and evolved into a rather personal image about gender dysphoria. Stay safe, everyone. 💙

Digital illustration. Person with blue skin. Frontal view. No clothing. Short dark hair. Short, misshapen horns. Arms crossed in front of the face; gold color oozing out from between them. Red eyes with a malevolent gaze.
