Follow for sketches and my musings about changing into something else 🐾🐻🫎🦌. Suggestive topics and imagery.

I really, really like drawing TF sketches on my Remarkable Considering doing a commission format for it, just doodling TFs while on a walk, in a park, on a ride, in my bed; it's freeing

Transformation scenario: in space, only your crew mates can be affected by the mutating virus that is turning you all into bears, and they are all headed toward patient zero (you) (uneven, zero-gravity bear TF with multiple people, and yes I've dreamt this a few times over the last year)

Is there a TF classic movie or series I should watch? Need to hit the reset-button on my brain right now with some good old escapism, the anxiety pangs are getting to me 🫠

Being jobless for so long in a town where I know very few enough to hang out properly is taking its toll on me, I badly need a win soon so I can move on with my life But for now, sitting in a park in beautiful weather is uplifting 🐻

Photo of a Remarkable with a cropped sketch of a bear transformation. It depicts the upper body of man mostly transformed into a bear. The face is unchanged, and he has a large moustache. He looks at the viewer intensely.

These are select arts from GW3, GW2, and from the release trailer. I think there's an overlap of GW3 and Janthir Wilds, as we can see stand-in models in GW2 arts that feel more akin to the GW3 design. Notably the polar variety seems to be confirmed for GW3.

The new Kodan is surprisingly rotund from what little we can see of them, so did a short study of how they'd perhaps look without the armor They should be more square/stocky, but couldn't resist falling back into the familiar pear-shape

Simple sketch of an anthropomorphic bear, one from side view and the other in 3/4:th view. The left one is very barrel chested, whereas the right one is more pear-shaped. The right one lifts up one hand paw, while the other rests grasps its belly.

Since I’m in my Kodan fanaticism phase, I’ve drafted 25 character names that follow the naming convention, scoured Lowland Shore for ambient dialogue (there’s one that appears once every two hours!), and found that concept art for JW always had the GW3-like model of Kodan as stand-ins for scale 🙃

Visiting a friend in Poland right now, I really should try to snag some Wojtek merch (famous bear that was part of an artillery supply company during WW2) if I come across it

Kodan looks to be playable, and that's incredible! But man, I'm absolutely floored about what to think! What's the state between confirmed absolute hype and worried frown? I'm there, I think

This new helmet in Guild Wars 2 was MADE for me! It's absolutely GORGEOUS, amazing work. I'm also *very* excited for ArenaNet's mysterious reveal during Summer Games Fest, notably because the Kodan is heavily heavily implied to be around in Orr due to hints in Janthir Wilds. Choo-choo! 🚂

A screenshot from the game Guild Wars 2 depicting a Charr wearing a highly detailed bear helmet that changes the face into a bear. The screenshot is taken in Lowland Share of the expansion Janthir Wilds where we can see some Lowland Kodan patrolling a bridge in the background.A screenshot from the game Guild Wars 2 depicting a Charr wearing a highly detailed bear helmet that changes the face into a bear. The character is emoting, pointing the finger up to their chin and looking thoughtful.

Discovered a surprisingly neat thing about using File Objects in Clip Paint. When saving the File Object, you have a slight delay before it updates on the master document. So I look at the other monitor to see if the aggregate brushstrokes made it better or not. A bit like flipping the canvas.
