Comic Creator

Dasha Frost

Hello, I am an indie artist from Grande Prairie and the creator of “Time & Again”, a non-linear experimental graphic narrative!
I acquired my drawing skills through years of dedicated practice and observation. My signature art style features cute ears, ugly dragons and crazy faces. I’m striving to deliver professional art quality while working part-time solely by myself, only using Huion Camvas, Inkscape, Krita, and my own visualisation capabilities.
Aside from drawing, I love videogaming, birdwatching, listening to music, and learning languages. Recently, I also found myself oddly obsessed with typefaces.
Alignment: lawful good.
In my spare time, I also like to make nuthatch and fox noises.
