Digital Artist Alley - Part 2
Article by Aesthel
As many conventions are currently being cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, artists and small businesses are some of those who are being most effected right now. Us here at Cosplay Realm want to do our part in supporting these artists, so we are hosting a few different Digital Artist Alleys up on our website! In each of these articles you can see artists and small businesses from all walks of life across the world that you can support during these times!
This is Cosplay Realm’s second full Artist Alley feature! Be sure to check out the CRM Blog for our other artist features including our First Digital Artist Alley as well as some fandom specific artist features like Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and Dungeons & Dragons!
Celestial Dragon Design
Celestial Dragon is a small creator with a focus of making unique goods from yarn. After teaching herself the art of knitted scalemaille and amigurumi, she hit the Artist Alley scene in 2017, and has been going strong every since. Her convention crowd favorites are the sweet amigurumi plushies based of popular pop-culture characters. When she's not prepping for conventions, she spends her time knitting custom scalemaille armor for her Etsy shop.
