My commission slots are filled!

Thanks to all who submitted a request! I got way more than I expected!

I removed the original post, to hopefully prevent further messages. I look forward to sharing these as they are finished!

SO DA is now doing this thing where I reply to a message, and it doesn't always get removed from my inbox automatically, like it always has for the least decade....

So if I've responded to your same comment multiple times, it's probably because I thought it was a new comment, even though it was just left over in my inbox from the last time I checked and responded.

If you are wondering why I haven't been replying to comments as swiftly as I usually do, it's because the new inbox for DeviantArt is a bit cumbersome to get used to.

Every time I send a reply, a "reply successful" notification appears at the top and moves everything down. Then, when it disappears in a few seconds, everything moves back up again.

This is a bit frustrating to deal with, because it makes me miss-click links when I try to hit the "reply" button on the next comment. With how many comments and messages I get on a daily basis, it's become really cumbersome to use.

Overall, there's just a lot more clicks to do the same, because they split up the inbox into so many different tabs, each with different functions (why can't I mass delete 1000 fav messages in the "all" tab????)...

So, I am sorry if it seems I've been a little less present, lately. I have art to make, and I can't spend all this extra time relearning an entirely new site layout.

I'm back!

1 min read

It's been a rough couple of months for me. Earlier this year I suffered a back injury that has taken months to heal (and still healing), and it has effected my work output... hence the lack of posts, lately. On top of that, Northern California's power outages has been an expensive and time consuming ordeal for those of us, here in California (google news on "PG&E safety power shutoffs" to learn more).

But anyways, I am getting caught up with work, and so you should see some art posting up, over the next few days. How is everyone doing? Well, I hope!

I recently received a business inquiry from the form on my website, however, the email address given is not active, so I cannot respond.
So, I'll just respond here:
I appreciate the interest, but I am not currently available for hire, at this time.

Twitter and NSFW Art and Stuff by RoninDude, journal

Twitter and NSFW Art and Stuff

Apr 19, 2019

Twitter Just wanted to remind you all that I have a twitter, and I have been pretty active over there, lately. DA will always be my internet home, and it's still the best place to contact me, but I like Twitter, so if you prefer that format, follow me there: https://twitter.com/RoninDudeArt At long last... Nude Pinups! *GASP* Those of you who have followed me for many years know that I used to do nude and light erotic works. I wasn't very good at it back then, haha but I did them. However, when I first took the leap to become a full time professional artist, I had decided to stop doing nudes, all together. Not from lack of enjoying that ...

Commissions Complete! Now for personal art.

Nov 17, 2018

I just finished up the last of my commissions, and now I am gonna take a break and focus on personal works. I'd like to start trying to post every day, or every other day again. Just silly little sketches or whatever comes out (not taking suggestions, I just want to be free to let my brain do it's thing). :)For those who are looking for when I will open commissions again, don't worry, I'll advertise when I am ready to take more work. And no, asking me over and over will not get me to open sooner. ;PAlright, see you all next post! ~Ray

Weapons and Armor Pedantry in Fantasy Art by RoninDude, journal

Weapons and Armor Pedantry in Fantasy Art

Sep 25, 2018

Man, I have been biting my tongue lately, because I'd rather spend the hours of my life focusing on moving forward towards my goals, than dwelling on the dismissible things that irritate me... and ultimately, the source of my frustration is coming from just a vocal minority... But damn, I am tired of the pedantic comments on my fantasy warrior pieces. Specifically, concerning the minutia of what weapons the fighters should or shouldn't be using, in what combination, against whatever equipment the foe is using.Hey, I love me some history studies. I actively study historical use and design of medieval weapons and armor on a fairly regular ba...
