*Looking for Work*

[Daks Chaya @DaksArt]

Hey, so I don't use this account a lot as it is, and with Twitters update in AI scraping policy, I want to take my artwork down from the site. No art on this account kind of makes it pointless, so I'll likely just close the account entirely.
I'm Daks over on bsky and Cara!

[Daks Chaya @DaksArt]

Hello, all! I am planning on making this more of a work-oriented account in contrast to my personal account. Not much will change other than more art posts and some bio changes in the future!
I'll be posting work I've done on shows as I'm allowed to as well as personal work.

Back in this saddle! One sleeve down, one to go. I think it took me 3-4 hours alone. 😪 Then it's on to tidying up the body and hood.
Would you believe that this is more tedious than halo armor?!

This isn't a Real paint job yet, I was quick-and-dirty swatching some Wicked metallics for someone in the RT Cosplay community. But I figured I'm supposed to be an airbrush artist and put stuff on Instagram 😋.… https://t.co/A5ANVYaY8d

I'm streaming tonight! Going to try to tweet about art streams from (and actually use) this account.

Hello, if you recently inquired about an order of Felix-related items, I think you entered your email incorrectly into my commission form. If you see this, feel free to email me directly at [email protected]

[Daks Chaya @DaksArt]

@CB_Stephan @fanxsaltlake @RTXEvent We gotta do a reprise of these pics in better lighting lmao 🧡

[Daks Chaya @DaksArt]

Hey, squad, I told a lot of folks that I'd be up for orders again by late-July but I've come down with a mystery illness. The Dr. doesn't seem to know what it is, but it's random & uncomfortable. Hopefully it will clear up after my trip in mid-August, and I can open orders then.

[Daks Chaya @DaksArt]

RTX was a blast! Thank you so much to everyone who said hello, even briefly. It always makes my day when someone recognizes me and mentions my art.  I wouldn’t be here doing what I do without your support. It really means a lot. Thanks for... https://t.co/GxDNGVMStO

Always fun to visit the ol' roots.
Nothing confirms my hand tremors more than trying to double-up on white script and filling it, though.
Ah well, at least it's not my job anymore 💁‍♀️ https://t.co/WQr4R00IGz

The foil tape was great for naked metal but I'm not a fan of how it paints. Might peel it off and repaint the bare wood instead. https://t.co/pXvdTyLanh
