Cute animals,
pretty colors, and more joy
Hi I'm Danique, an artist from the Netherlands! I primarily love making cute art of animals and other creatures, and sell my merch at conventions a couple times a year as a hobby. I work with cats (and at times dogs) every day, so you can expect to see those extra ;)
Do you have a webshop/do you take commissions?Not as of right now! Having a webshop is a long-term goal of mine, but with my fulltime job (that I absolutely love and don't see myself quitting anytime soon) I simply don't have the time or energy to run a webshop or do commissions. Instead I like to focus my free time on the occasional in-person events, so if you see something you like, catch me there!
When will you draw more of X?I really just draw whatever I feel like at a given moment, although definitely with a bias towards cats and pokemon that I like.
Comics are also currently on hold (I am a failure of a Comic Design graduate lol) as I prefer shorter projects and making standalone illustrations these days. But I do want to get more into making zines in the future.
What do you use to make your art?For digital art I use Sai2 along with my Huion drawing tablet (Kamvas Pro 20 2019).
For traditional art I like to use Amsterdam acrylic paints and whatever random brushes and palette knives I can find.
When will you have a proper artist name?Someday. When I can actually decide on something :')--- november 2024 edit --- rebranding to SunnyDanique / @SunnyDaniqueArt in the near future :)
