Tryin this out now but commission form is open! https://forms.gle/i2strTakHmLJuyn98

It'll be open until Friday night at 9pm and I'll be choosing and contacting people Saturday the 26th. I'm open for all types shown in the form here. In the next few weeks I'll also be opening for AFC badges in a separate form since I'll be vending this year!

Opening for a few commissions today! Prices and info can be found here: https://uncommoncritter.carrd.co/#one. Send a note here or email me at zannathedragon[at]gmail.com with character refs and info for the piece. I'll be looking over ideas and picking some tomorrow morning. These are not first come first serve, so please remember to put information for the commission in your message so I can look it over.

Edit 6/2/25
Slots are now closed! I'm choosing slots and sending out messages today, if you don't hear back from me I haven't chosen you this round.

Opening for 4 sketch commissions! Not first come first serve and I'll be closing around 7pm pst the 31st.
Wash sketches are $70 and color is $100, add the base price for extra characters. My recent posts here, while behind by a few months, have examples for both styles.
You can send commission info in an email to (zannathedragon@gmail.com) or send a note here for a slot.
These will be started mid February with a March/April completion estimate since I'm in two decently heavy courses this semester.

Hope everyone had a good holiday season and didn't get too sick! Most of December for me was being deliriously sick with a cold and trying to finish up finals but I survived...

I won't be vending it, but I will be at FC next week! Excited to attend it again and see friends, I really want to do some sketch jams or something this year if I can. I was hoping this year I'd have Zan's fursuit all repaired and with the tail made, but last year was just nonstop classwork or comm work so that was off the table. Maybe this summer I'll get em back in shape though!

I'm closing in on finishing my queue work finally as well, I've got a couple AFC sketches to wrap up, an overdue comic piece, the YCH, and the patron sketches. This week I've been working to knock out the last of these, got one person all caught up and working on rough sketches for the next now. With the rate I'm going at I'm really hoping to have things all done in February, but I'll definitely need to open for new work this month to make rent payment, so that'll likely be the week after FC with a late Feb to mid March turnaround. I go back to classes on the 27th of this month, so I've been cramming in as much work as my body will allow each week day and taking the weekends to try cleaning and organizing my space. I'm really grateful to everyone who's commissioned me and been so patient over the last year, it's been a rough one and I'm hoping I can manage my time better to not fall so far behind again this year.

I'm also real far behind in uploads lately here so I'm gonna try getting in a few each week to catch that up when I can.

What a great first year convention omg!! AFC was such a fun con even though I was working most of it, everyone was so nice and I had some great chats with folks about art or Rain World or Monhun, and I had just enough time to enjoy the evenings at the con, a rare thing for vending lol. I'll definitely be trying to vend there again next year, the only major snags were with the venue and staff got stuff cleared up lightning fast when something did happen. Great area though with plenty to walk to from the hotels, good food in the con space which is important since outside wasn't allowed, and omg the way it was all setup was just so good! The night market featuring music on the other side of the room from vendors made it perfect for browsing without my ears getting too blown out to talk with vendors, the open middle area for hanging out and watching the shibari panel on Saturday night was sooo chill. Just a very solid setup overall.

This con was the first time I've ever put art into the art show at a convention too, and I'm so honored that all four pieces sold! I definitely want to make some more paintings that are less last minute next time. For FC I'm also considering making another monhun needle felt for the show, either a Zinogre or maybe one of the new guys from Wilds.

I'm still VERY tired from the whole ordeal, driving the 5 hours there and back felt fine during the event itself but it sure all hit me at once when I got home. I'm so glad I took it in chunks and I'm v glad for  mongrelist and  hiimshibby for letting me crash with them so I wasn't doing 8 hour drives there and back lmao. This week I'm catching up on my missed homework from the week before the con and doing this week's homework for college, and organizing commissions taken at the con and the week before. Next week I'll be back to work in earnest wrapping up some older works and starting sketches for the new stuff the week after hopefully!

I'll also be uploading the sketchbook for both August and September today, last month was just too insane for me to put together the August one and I missed posting at all from how busy I got. Definitely want to avoid that going forward and if I know I'll have a busy month or the prior month's sketchbook is looking too thin I'll put a pause on memberships for everyone. I've been in a big catchup rut with it this year that I'm still digging out of, trying to dedicate a day a week to get a few of the wyvern tier sketches out to everyone and I'm very thankful for people's patience with me while this year has repeatedly beat the hell out of me lmao.

Due to the additional con queue and prior queue, I'll probably be opening next in mid November and just trying my hardest to grind out the work this month. As for where I'll be vending next, I'm hoping for a spot at the FC Artist Alley, as that will be my next con regardless of vending. Fingers crossed for LVFC dealers as well!!

Heading to AFC next week and I'll be in the artist alley! I'll be posting the map over the weekend with my spot, since I'm not dealing for FC unless I get a day spot in the artist alley, this will be the last chance for a good while to get any of my prints or stickers. I'll have one new print with me, of the dragon painting from June, and I have sparkle versions of all available prints! On top of this, I'll also be debuting a new version of the popular hypno cerberus sticker, now with a fancy holographic finish over all the hypno swirl elements, super psyched to have this printed with my initial vision for the sticker!!

I haven't posted my felting adventures much here, but I will have two felted critters up for sale in the AFC art show! Ideally I'll have some smaller needle felted guys at my table, but that's asking a lot for where I'm currently at art wise I think oops. I plan to also have two inkwash originals for sale in the art show, though they'll both be kink themed! Painting out a bondage piece and a hypno piece when I get the chance for it.

If you're going to AFC feel free to come say hi! I'll be doing inkwash sketches at the table this time instead of my usual ink lined stuff, as well as having pencil sketches available too. Excited to see this con's debut!

I'll be out of town until August 19th starting tomorrow, so commission progress will be on hold until the 20th since I likely won't be able to hit the ground running with that. Getting some last minute sketches and edits out today though.

Open for sketch commissions!
$65 for wash sketch or $95 for color, extra characters add the base price. Taking 3-4 on this time around, for completion by early September.
I'll be choosing slots around 10am pst tomorrow, July 31st. You can Note me or send an email to zannathedragon[at]gmail.com for a slot, though this won't be fcfs. Please include the details for your idea and any references for it.

In December last year I was briefly dropped by my insurance due to an error with the county, and what should have been a covered regular gynecologist check up has become something of a nightmare of sudden expenses. My insurance claimed to retroactively cover things due to it being a clerical oversight, but they refuse to cover this and I'm being charged regardless. In February I set up a payment plan, set to automatic payments so I could deal with it, and recently learned those haven't been automatically working at all and are instead just piling up. The bill is $799.99, I just took on commissions so I can't open more without overextending myself with the end of the semester projects and my current queue and patreon backlog.

I really didn't want it to come to this but I could really use the help. I've set up a ko-fi goal here, https://ko-fi.com/uncommoncritter/goal?g=0 or if you're interested in getting to see some sketch stuff (it's been very slim lately due to college work as a fair warning) you can sub to my Patreon here, https://www.patreon.com/UncommonCritter.

Any help at all is incredibly appreciated, I really wouldn't be asking if I could take care of this myself.

UPDATE 4/20/24: THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thanks to everyone's incredibly generous help I've been able to get the bill paid off, I can't overstate how grateful I am to have such an incredibly kind community.

What a great con omfg, the hotel and location and everything was awesome! I didn't spend as much time doing con specific events, but we were so close to stuff the atmosphere never really left the whole time. Idk if they'll be able to stay in that hotel as they grow, but hopefully!

Now that I'm home again I'm sort of cleaning up some homework assignments I couldn't get done before the weekend, then heading onto setting up sketches for the April completion commissions and catching up on the Patreon sketches. The sketchbook for last month is being put together today for patrons, sketchbooks are slim while I'm juggling college and commissions. In good news on that, my college time may finally be coming to an end winter 2025!!! I've been in this slow crawl through it for too damn long and I'm genuinely so excited to be free to devote more time to making artwork. The next two years will be hard while I push myself to do well and get my classes DONE but hopefully it'll have been worth it. I want to explore learning in Blender more once I can devote some time each week to learning with it and creating things, but learned that its just not feasible for me to balance with everything now.

I hope everyone is having a good springtime in the meanwhile!!

Opening for 10 slots to be completed by late May at the latest! First five will be a late April completion, then I'll be moving onto college finals, and then completing the last of these.
If interested you can send a note here, or send an email to Zannathedragon[at]gmail.com with the details of the commission, refs, and your paypal email for the invoice. Email will be easier for communication than notes for me though.
NSFW is fine for this opening as well.
Edit 3/21/24: Slots are full! Thank you everyone for your interest, I'll be sending invoices and getting info together over the next few days, and then starting on the queues in two weeks. Gotta get a hearty chunk of classwork done before LVFC on the 28th so I probably won't be drawing too much those days.

The past couple months have been Rough dot biz for me with adjusting to two online classes and trying to clear up queue stuff, and I still have. A lot of uploads to catch up on for that here now haha... I keep putting it off but I'll probably try posting a couple things a week or so to catch up! ;; Both courses have been pretty heavy work loads this time around, so I'm trying to balance working two full days and then just getting anything else in that I can after prioritizing classwork.

That said, I'll be going to LVFC this year! I WON'T be vending which will be a welcome break to be able to just enjoy a con for once. Very excited to go since it'll be my first time visiting Las Vegas as well. I will however be taking on some badges for this con so if you're interested in a badge from me and going to LVFC, I'll be able to deliver it to the con. In addition to that, since this con is 21+ if you're interested in kink themed badges I'll be open to those themes, wear responsibly and all that.

Prices:
Digital at $75 bust, $125 Waist up, or $175 fullbody
Marker at $80 bust, $130 waist up, or $200 fullbody.

If you're looking for normal commission openings, I haven't been open since FC and I'm really sorry for that! I want to work my queue down to only the Patreon sketches owed, so once I'm there I'll be posting up another journal with information. The wait time on these will be something like 2-3 months depending on how the end half of this semester shakes out though.

Hello I've been insanely busy the past couple months but its time again for cons! I will be vending at FC 2024 this year! You'll be able to find me at table #65 B between Mongrelist and Crosschopper. I'm taking limited at con commissions this year to enjoy more of my time, so if you want a commission from at the con you'll need to swing by early Friday. Otherwise if you missed BLFC and PAW, I'll have all three new prints in. Sadly I did not have the time to create more glow in the dark stickers, so if you asked about Rain World lizard stickers at BLFC I couldn't complete them :<.

Hope to see people there! Stay safe and warm in this chilly winter weather and Happy New Year!

That was a very fun and very exhausting double event trip for me, thank you to everyone who bought something, stopped by the table, or hung out with me for making this the best con event I've had in a while. I need to take this week to rest a bit, work on some patreon art, and then I'll be able to start on all the take home work I've gotten from the two cons.
If they do this back to back thing again next year I will probably still do it even with how tiring it was ultimately. It was super worth it to see so many friends I'd never been able to meet in person before or wasn't expecting to see at BLFC, and PAW was a good cool-down even with it being a good bit larger this year. The energy was great, and it was good to see them trying new things like the night market setup.

Its that time once again! I'll be vending at BOTH BLFC and PAWcon this year, it'll be crazy hectic but I'm excited for it all the same. I'm going to be taking 5 slots for now for these badges, but I'll ALSO be open for 10 early bird grabs of my con favorite GREMLIN badges! If you haven't seen these before they are small doodle badges, usually 3x3 or 4x4 inches at max. They're quick and silly and always great fun.
You can send details and refs via note here or email me at zannathedragon@gmail.com. These will be started in October once I've finished my current queue of commissions so I can focus on the badges.

Digital: Headshot $75, waist-up $125, fullbody $175
Marker: Headshot $80, waist-up $130, fullbody $200
Gremlins: $20 standard (inks only), $30 deluxe (messy rough color)

For examples, https://twitter.com/UncommonCritter.....66818357669888 Here is a sample of digital and traditional badges, and here is a sample of gremlins, https://twitter.com/UncommonCritter.....54369417965569

Just wanted to offer a heads up that I’ll be a little slow to finish the rough sketches this week due to a nasty heatwave. I’ll also be out of town from the 20th to the 25th visiting friends, and likely will not be doing a lot of work that weekend.

I still plan to get as much finished this and early next week as I can, but this mostly depends on how cool I can keep my workspace with only a fan for heat control.

With Twitter repeatedly shooting itself in the foot I'm finally getting off my ass and starting to poke at some new platforms as well. I set up a Postybirb after knowing about it for years and just being a little too tired of needing to get new stuff to stay online, but now is as good a time as any to learn I suppose. So in addition to FA, Tumblr, and Twitter, I can now also be found at Itaku, Cohost, and Bluesky!

UncommonCritter is my main name on all three of those new places, and may someday be changed here if FA ever finally gets in name changing. On Cohost I also have Dergorb for nsfw and kink artwork, and eventually I'll have that sort of side profile for Bluesky as well. Itaku has a split sfw and ad profile feature, which I like, but doesn't seem to allow the usernames to be separate, which is a bummer. Despite letting FA be a big mashup of everything, I like being able to split my profiles for sfw and nsfw art overall under different names for those who only want to see the sfw OR only want the fun weird stuff. Hoping they allow that in the future. For now, that's what I got down and I need to take some time to make a new icon and banner since its been a good few years since I've touched that at all.

In addition to these new websites, I'm debating making a public Discord server for art posting and chatting. Unfortunately I have a lot of anxieties around running such a thing though, so this is more to put the idea into the world in a way that I may come back to. I'll have to learn how to add and use some bots for easier role management, but if I can get that all set up I'll be making a journal about it as well.

As long as FA stays floatin along I'll do my damndest to post here too, so no worries on this dragon leaving here. I just wish I could make my username consistent with what I've swapped it to and well. I don't really want to fully remake my FA.

Unrelated to all of this a secret announcement within the announcement! I will be vending at both BLFC and PAWcon this year! That week is going to be insane! I'm hoping to have a few prints for the first time at those, and if I can I'd love to put together some small zines with kind of the best of sketches I've done over the past couple years. We'll see if that happens at all what with needing to do college courses at the same time. I hope to see people there!

Opening for some late April completion work!

Wash sketches starting from $60, Color sketches starting from $95, extra characters add the base price.
Full renders starting at $350 with extra characters being $245, and color sketch pages (1 fullbody, 4 waist-ups) at $500 with extra characters being $95.

Send a note with refs and info for a slot! I’ll be taking 5 or so total.

Forgot to make a journal after FC!!

Thank you everyone who stopped by the table to chat or buy something, FC was a great con this year and I'm so happy to see it come back so strong. It was probably the best con I've been to in a bit even if I couldn't make it out to the usual late night party stuff this year. Its been a busy few weeks with getting back to college again and still catching up on old Patreon sketches but I'm managing! My classes are only in the morning this semester, which means once I get used to the schedule and create a good routine I should be able to use the rest of the afternoon for work and still get in an hour of homework studies before stopping for the day.

Unfortunately however my mom tested positive for Covid this weekend. We live together and have been taking all precautions we can but there's still a higher chance than usual for me to get it because of this. I'll update the journal if symptoms show up and be sure to stay in contact if this causes a significant delay.

Edit as of 2/1/23: Spread to me now unfortunately so I'm in recovery mode once again.
