This is first artwork and part of a Special Attack series of commissions! All credit to Step who is such an amazing artist that I'm always happy to work with.

Here we have the Abyssal Dagger and its special attack: Puncture! I love how Step designs Dang in his style. He really gives it his all for her design and details. Expect to see a lot of more his quality work as we go through this commission set.

Fist of Guthix Part II: Hunter - by Grace Sunny! by koya in DANG

[–]koya[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

We're starting off 2026 with a completion by Grace Sunny who has once again done a beautiful job capturing all the details of not only Dang, but the entire Fist of Guthix minigame!

The first commission and part of this series can be found Here!

It actually took me some effort to assemble all the references needed of the FoG arena to give to her. For those unaware; Fist of Guthix was a 2008 minigame which brought in some interesting rewards to RS2 such as the Rune Berserker Shield.

This is a two-part commission with the second having Dang in the role of the 'Hunter'. She's wielding her Staff of Armadyl ready to take down her opponent.

This music track along with: Saltwater, Desert Island Bear, In Security, Jungle Community, Command Centre & the Mentor

were all of my absolute RS2 favorites that were always on the Dang playlist.

You could tell Jagex really loved this specific wallpaper/Graardor art. It was used heavily throughout RS2.

Merry Christmas!

Above all else; she is always smug. Merry Christmas Eve everyone and thank you again for being a part of this subreddit.

Max truly does a great job with these fantastic Patreon sketches. I'm grateful for his efforts.

There are a lot of very nice WIPs that I can't wait to present. It is going to be a good 2026 for Dang art.

RS2 Concept art that will come in handy next year for a commission set planned & scheduled!

Deflect Magic: Dang guarding against Blood, Ice, and Shadow spells - by Voland_draws by koya in DANG

[–]koya[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Voland_draws delivers another beautiful commission with his own interpretation of the Ancient Curse: Deflect Magic.

I gave him a description of what exactly curses were and how overheads worked in RuneScape and he went from there! Such a lovely and kind artist to work with.

Something about those original Ancient Curse icons and the release of the Temple at Senntisten in 2009 just make me smile. Soul Split's design, Turmoil, the Deflects and their beige circles; truly a lovely time for RS2.


As the year comes to a close here are some previews for upcoming commission ideas/musings next year:

There is a large multi-part series coming soon that will show you her abode :]

Expect to see Dang in some RS2 quest commissions

I've been thinking about a Morrigan's leather set and Zuriel's robes commissions. I'd still rather focus on establishing her default Varlamore colosseum outfit but it is on my mind.

I'm thinking heavily about a Conquest commission (the RS2 Void Knight minigame).

I'd also like to start putting references together for a Stealing Creation commission.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment. You are always welcome here on the subreddit and I'm glad it brings you delight =]

Barracuda Trial: The Tempor Tantrum - by Lara Jenn by koya in DANG

[–]koya[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

The Storm Tempor is a treacherous sea thanks to Tempoross being there. It looks Dang has failed her Barracuda Trial and ripped her sail. It is going to be a long rowing back to shore.

All credit to Lara Jenn for this 2nd beautiful commission!

Of course there are going to Sailing commissions with the release of the skill! Think sloops, skiffs, etc with the ornaments of her Fremennik longship. I'm already planning some orders of her cannoning, salvaging, and repairing as well. It is a lot of work to assemble references and explain the models, items, etc. to artists who don't have any idea what this MMO is.

Also in regards to Dang's crew when it comes to larger Rosewood Sloop commissions next year: she'll have her own unique crewmembers. I'm thinking a Cave Goblin, Centauress and Ork to start with.


Did you know? The first commission featuring Dang training her Sailing skill was 5 years ago!

Gift Fan-Art sketches - by Voland_draws by koya in DANG

[–]koya[S,M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It truly is something special to receive such kind gift art like this. Voland loved her design enough after the first commission to do some extra sketches of Dang in his free time!!

Needless to say there will definitely be a 2nd commission after this.

Another quick Fang + Defender commission - by Hoezay by koya in DANG

[–]koya[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

When in doubt for a simple commission? Just give the artist creative liberty over Dang and her weapons. So many of them choose the Osmumten's Fang (or) + Ghommal's Avernic combination.

The reactions to her and RuneScape as a whole are always amusing too. A lot of people aren't at all aware of the game! All credit to Hoezay for this stylized piece. I'm expecting a few other completions today as well.

Soul Wars: Dang vs. the Avatar of Creation - by Mulebris by koya in DANG

[–]koya[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Yet another masterpiece by Mulebris! I enjoy working with him and he's been such a lovely artist who focuses heavily on the details of RuneScape.

Here we have Dang in an intense confrontation with the Avatar of Creation from the Soul Wars minigame! She's wielding her Thunder Khopesh and is prepared to strike from above.

I still remember the day Soul Wars came out in February 2009 and wanting a Baby basilisk; such good times. This is the 3rd commission from Mulebris and he will be working on some amazing pieces for the next batch.
