drawin' Darwin

Iz or Darwin
they/them, she/her, he/him

hey! welcome to what is primarily an art account but is also, because my main is locked, a place where I put tweets my friends want to be able to retweet, and where I reply to people who aren't following me and won't see it otherwise.

I'm practically near-exclusively an Aveyond fanartist, so prepare for a lot of that! If you don't know about Aveyond, but would like to, I made an introductory carrd.

Currently, I'm recovering from/dealing with a hand injury, so my art output is slow. I'm getting back into drawing but not quite there yet!

policy on using my art

1) Please don't repost my art, either on twitter or other websites.
2) You're more than welcome to use my art as an icon/banner - just credit me by linking back here (drawindarwin) or to my deviantart (iztopher)!
3) If you want to use my art as an icon on discord, or another site that doesn't have a good place to link credit, that's fine too - just link people back to me if they compliment it/ask where you got it from!

requests

Requests are currently closed as my drawing is on hiatus due to my hand injury!

Nearly whenever I'm drawing regularly, I'm cautiously open for requests, which means I won't make any promises, but I'd love to hear your ideas! Just @ me on twitter or shoot me a DM. The more I enjoy a series/character/dynamic, the more likely I am to do it, so I'm especially interested in Aveyond requests, but I'm up for other fandoms, too. You can check out a full list of my interests here. Feel free to request certain characters/dynamics in general, or suggest a specific outfit or pose if you'd like!

I will only consider a request if you can provide me with a reference image for the character, or if they're from a series I know well already.

hey! my name is Iz, or Darwin. I like to draw fanart, write fanfic, and make fanmixes. You might be noticing a pattern. Most, but not all, of my stuff is focused on the Aveyond series, which is my special interest. However, I have some more interests you can check out here! Feel welcome to message me about Aveyond or any other interests we may have in common!

my favorite things to draw are fanart of my favorite characters/dynamics, hands, and armor! I also like landscapes/natural drawings but you'll probably never see that here. I pretty consistently either draw traditional sketches, or digitally with a Wacom tablet and Paint Tool SAI. I've been trying to draw with some degree of regularity for over ten years now, but to my eternal regret my school commitments keep getting in the way.

my main is private @iztopher and although I can't guarantee I'll accept, you're more than welcome to request it, especially if we've talked before!

interests and favorites

I have some more interests beyond these, but these are the series you're most likely to see art of from me! I also sometimes draw studies that aren't really attached to any series, and my friends' OCs.

  • Aveyond ★

  • Zero Escape

  • Infinity Train

  • Campaign Podcast (Star Wars)

  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses

I'm trying to branch out past drawing the same few characters exclusively, but I definitely still have preferences. Here are my favorites. ★'ed characters and dynamics are the ones you're likely to see most often.

Note: Because I haven't been drawing much with my injury, I haven't actually gotten the chance to draw some of these yet.
