If you didn't know, I have an addiction to buying art and so I must share my recent highlights and things I've bought. You'll probably see me spam this link in chat as I do love to share all my lil [and not so lil 💀] purchases.

Feel free to ask my about my purchases or even why I buy art - I consider it a hobby at this point so I'm always happy to talk about it!
My art purchases are almosty exclusively funded by my own commissions now - so I use the money I earn by selling art to buy art. It's a nice little self-funding hobby :>
If you're here to comment about 'I could never spend that much on pixels' or something like that, I'm going to politely stare at you with mild disdain.

WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY!
^{*Some images will be posted with watermarks due to images being reposted on other sites. I've had a commission or two reposted on Pinterest, and I'd prefer if they're able to be traced back to me and/or the image's original artist.}

I think my highlight purchase has been this character design from Mykalablue on DA. This is my second purchase from her, after previously buying a chibi of Kobel. This lil guy still needs a name and is a maligator! How cool is that! Clearly, he's not the traditional/recognisable malinois colouring but I do love a good greyscale.

I also bought a redesign from Excisus_Kade on TH [or whatever the man's username is on here, Rigell, I think?] and it was totally worth the wait! I mean, look at the redesign on this character.
Here's their new design and a full ref sheet! [Which was amazing, I was expecting just the standard fullbody]


For reference, here's their original design, which I created back in 2019/2020


This designw was a really tricky one to work with as,, politely to my past self, the colour combinations and overall design is an aqcuired taste. I don't typically like pink/green designs, so why on earth I made this character look like this, I don't know. Excisus was able to completely spin it around and add design elements I really love, so I'm super happy with this outcome!


And my last purchase was yesterday, and that's this cute lil chibi I got of Ida from Biozev on DA, or the beloved Biohazard [195167] on here. I asked her to make him look sad and honestly, I have no idea how she managed to pull that off considering his skullface. Mans managed to make a skull emote, that some serious skill right there.



Both my redesign from Excisus_Kade and the maligator from Mykalablue still need names! :0 so if anyone has any suggestions that'd be hugely appreciated!

Alllllll of those are beautifulllll

Zivixia
Right?? I'm super happy with them! :D They've made my week, honestly.

Also who gave me a forum award for spending money on things I'm crYING LMAO

You should get an award because those are beautiful and it's a fantastic way to support a community.

That maligator AHHH I love it

Awh thanks! :0
I gotta support the community I'm part of *^* in my mind, it's fair that if I sell art I buy it too - plus I get some super cool stuff out of it.

Of course <333 I gotta gush about all the cool art.
ALSO DAMN. I did get your username right omg
Thanks again eheh <33 I'm excited to get through my commission queue so I can draw all of my new dudes.
