I finally fixed the issue with my Discord server after troubleshooting today. B0t issue and unsolicited DMs. It's a community art server and my personal headquarters. If you haven't joined already, would someone mind testing out the new security measures for me? lol discord.gg/3FjUxYKcWe

🥹 This has been incredibly satisfying to work on so far. I’d like to eventually do away with my ink crutch. Ha I can work much faster this way. Holy heck.

💀Deryn Starling - Artist 💀🏳️‍🌈 @derynstarlingart.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

My phone doesn’t pick up the color blue very well. Lol But the experiment is going good at least. lol

💀Deryn Starling - Artist 💀🏳️‍🌈 @derynstarlingart.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

And personal project number 1. Redo of something I made years ago, but with a little extra flare and 3x the size. If you’ve been familiar with my work for a while, you know which one it is. Haha. Not “Waltz of Folly” even though it is on my lengthy remake list.

Finally got this comm started, too. 🖤 Now I’m going to take a break from comms until Wednesday. Birthday weekend/week. So, during that time I plan on working on personal stuff and experiments. Then Monday my fiancé and I have a trip to the field museum 🥹🖤 I’m stoked.

Question! 🦎 What is a reptile you adore, but you can't quite seem to find it in art (or not enough of)? Needing a subject for my traditional art experiments. The other two experimental subjects are fantasy creatures and dark art (personal list). Old art for attention. Was made for Dan Rowe in 2020

Got another reptile comm started 🖤🦎 This one is a monkey skink (Solomon island skink). Gonna do work on a beardie comm next, and will be switching back and forth on them 🖤

I have been given permission to post! haha Ordered by Cindy S. for The Beast to commemorate his final match before retiring. I was given the honor to draw him while the funds were donated to Seri to help with recovery from the fire at her grooming salon. I enjoyed working on this way too much. 😆🖤

Treated myself to a watercolor brush pack that came with paper textures. Drew a childhood god dragon OC named Holondon to test them. 😭 I think my digital work just got a massive upgrade. I'm so freaking overjoyed. #dragon #art

New month, new goal! Support human artists! I really need to do better about posting my monthly goal, but here it is! This month, I'd love to send some pink eraser prints or stickers to anybody who donates $5 or more. If you want either one, let me know! #kofi #artistsupport #bsnm

Monthly goal graphic using the Rook and Corvid art as a background. The text reads:
Monthly Goal
5% of $300 goal
With increased monthly expenses, it's time to supplement my income with art sales and tips. This amount will cover hosting fees, food, medicine, and other home expenses. Any amount will help!

Decided to go with prismacolor pencils for some of it. I think I finally figured out how to blend them better. Took me a minute. 🦎
