a quieter hatching study piece, trying to work with texture and volume a bit more. i don't know if i was very successful, there's some muddy areas that i don't really like but otherwise don't know how to fix right now. just more practice for later then.

For the Otherworldly Art Collective's last Unicorn themed art show, I made a plush of Amdusias to display in their gallery for the month of June!

After finishing Chapter 4 of Deltarune, I realized how much the little chivalrous cuppy guys had enchanted me.

there are so many medieval costume refs of men making this same cunty pose with their butt facing the camera. i'm all the more for it.

another medieval fashion study.

post shit at 1 am who gives a fuck Original Illustration Gallery

when i was doodling things in an attempt to get myself to draw more, i started drawing cicadas, and then made one of them really tired. and then i kept drawing them, trying to figure out how to anthropormorphize a cicada's body and this is what i landed o…

i can't stop thinking about historical fashion. i've always played fast and loose with Felix's outfits, but in the canon of our dnd game, he should be wearing some Victorian era fashion. so, here he is in some (referenced) Victorian fashion. i want to get…

still working on drawing more backgrounds, this time using my demons of arcadia setting to help motivate me to draw some spaces. in my mind the castle is just made of bleached white stone but i really want to start thinking about decorative aspects of the…

drawing Bell and Cyrus in more "historically accurate" outfits, meaning 14th/15th century western europe. i've been thinking a lot about the outfits of fantasy settings and the historical inspirations that stories may or may not take from them. i personal…

i'm trying to make myself draw more backgrounds and environments. some experiments in it.

i've been playing a retro neopets clone for the past few months. i really love it, getting to revisit old things and also be excited for the new features/events that they're putting into the site. one of the old things i never really engaged with playing…

i think i can finally draw again. got back into it, drawing some portraits of character adopts i've gotten over the past year or so. i really like buying people's clown adopts if that wasn't already evident lol.

so. because i'm back on the job market, i couldn't really put off not updating my portfolio site anymore. i was using squarespace since the end of college just because it was cheap and i was lazy. i always intended to move my portfolio site to something i…

i've been in the throes of it. here's some stuff that i've been enjoying recently.

My commissions are open!

i have not talked about my day job. i am about to talk about my day job. without major specifics, i (technically still am) employed by a publicly funded TV station. i was employed through a project funded through the RTL (Ready to Learn) grant from the US…

did a new round of random composition doodles at work. i like doing these since i can just doodle whatever strikes me. again the last group, if you wanna take one of these and finish them out into something else, absolutely go ahead whatever. credit me or…

my friend and i had a longstanding barter where he would 3d resin print me a lord of change from warhammer model and assemble it and i would draw him elminster big naturals for him to use on a mtg proxy card. this barter had the timeline of like… 3 years.…

i liked my outfit from yesterday so i drew it. thinking about my style choices, if someone asked me if i was goth i would probably say yes. i think my style verges more in "dark acadamia" but i don't like wearing the color brown.

Like much of the world, I love Balatro.

I got bored at work so I opened an online MSPaint clone and doodled a bunch of random compositions as a warm up for actual work I had to do (none content in here is work related tho).

Kerosene is an OC I use when I play solo ttrpgs if the character is not super important.

A commission for a coworker.

i got sick this past week and was struggling with some illustrations i've been trying to work on, so i did my relaxation technique of playing fantasy life for 3ds. i've already played the game once before but i installed it on the 2ds i hacked earlier this

doodle for a new discord icon.

trying to get comfortable animating in clip studio paint again. i'm simultaneously trying to learn how to animate in ToonBoom at the moment, which is more for day job stuff but it's also applicable to out of work hobby animation. there is like two more fr…

i'm trying to do more animation stuff as of late, so i made a new gallery category on my blog for my animation stuff. even if this is all that there will be and what i want to show off, that's still a couple of things i want to show off lol. you can see t…

i saw this screencap from the PC-98 bot on bluesky of the game Viper GTS and idk what struck me about it but i wanted to redraw it. i started with using the colors pulled from the screenshot, but then twisted them around until i thought i had something i…

i was thinking about artfight recently and how it basically got me out of a drawing rut i was in last year. i had been meaning to participate for a while but finally a kick in the pants from one of my friends finally got me to sign up. i had no idea how m…

my photo sweep that i use to take pictures of all my plushies are falling apart. i built it in early 2024 out of some cardboard, tracing paper (as a light diffuser), 2 different lamps, and the sides lined with semi-reflective fabric to deal with the bounce

Commission of an original character for a gift.

yesterday i fucking crashed after work and i crashed hard. i was really excited to set up a new keyboard and set up a macropad i just got. i brought home leftover pizza from work for my roommates. i had a pretty good day. by 8 pm, i fucking could barely f…

our tiny cat yells and yells for a lot of reasons, but often when I get home from work its for me to get into bed so she can sit on me. typical cat things.

I've been playing neopets again on a retro neopets clone.

if you havent heard the news, joanns, the national fabric store chain, is closing all their stores and liquidating all stock. i am a plushie maker, i have made a habit for the past 5 years going to joanns about every 2-3 months to re-up my supply of fabric

i've been fucking busy with day job. we had a pet health scare (she's fine now). i am having trouble sleeping again. i just need to focus on the things that have been keeping me going through this all. i'm a creature of habit, rewatching and relistening to

i was struggling with this pose for weeks, couldn't figure it out. tried to look at references, nothing felt right. laid down in bed yesterday, just sketched it again and it clicked. the anatomy and perspective is still a bit weird, but i still think its a

drawing another design that i purchased on toyhouse, i like making all the femme designs i buy into weird little twinks. i love gnc weird little men.

Over the winter holiday I played and finished Pseudoregalia, a 3D metroidvania game.

I used to have my old Decarabia plush as a featured plushie in my bed, but because it was made of felt it got so pilled and scrungy I can only keep it on a shelf with some of my other plushie stuff.

i've been putting it off because i basically had to redocument everything i've made from 2020 onward, but. due to the really shitty week i've had, i've needed a project to put my mind to that is just as simple as making a couple of image galleries.

i like to buy designs off of people from toyhouse and making ocs out of them. i've had this design for a bit but think im finally understanding the personality i want to bring to this character.

sometimes when im coming home from work and putting my key in the front door, i think about that episode of Monk where because of the grief of his wife's death, the titular Monk man accidentally breaks and enters into his previous house thinking, not find…

i've been struggling to draw recently. trying to draw taurs to break me out of this art block. there are things that are inspiring and feel invigorating to make, but they're not 2D. i want to draw. but i'm not feeling pleasure in it. or at least, it's not…

so i've been watching a lot of northernlion play slay the spire recently. sometimes background noise, sometimes to fall asleep to (i find the chatter of voices relaxing, and boy does nl fucking chatter when he plays slay the spire). he's recently been on…

This is the adage of anyone @ any other creative in the field of making art/work/content for pay. you need to raise your prices, you can't survive on that wage so why are you charging it, people will pay your higher prices, don't be discouraged. i'm prefa…

i spent some time over the past week making these babies. but it was a fucking time so i'm gonna tell you how i did it. i love playing cards if you've known me for more than 10 minutes, you will probably know this. i also collect playing cards of all kind…

i don't usually play games the year they come out, reason being i tend to wait to play larger releases so that the hype can pass, so my "games of 2024" tend to just be "games that i played in 2024" so here's that list so i can talk about some standouts am…

before falling asleep i had a vision of a very tired woman holding some swords, surrounded by more swords. maybe i'll make her an oc.
