Little flower buddy ❤️ Part of my ko-fi rewards this month. Flowers bring me so much joy. 😊 Do you have a favourite flower? This one is called snapdragon I think. In German it's Löwenmäulchen which translates to something like "lion's little mouth"

It's 30C° outside and I'm sitting inside in the dark and blasting christmas music. 😂😭 The big christmas commissions come in summer but I have trouble to get into the right mindset for winter scenes right now.

Gone but not forgotten 🌈 This was a postnatal gift for a friend who had lost her beloved dog some time before. I liked the thought of her furbaby now watching over her baby as a guardian angel.

An illustration with the reference picture in the top left corner.
The illustration shows a brown dog with a halo laying on a beige fur carpet. A little baby, swathed in a blue blanket, sleeping peacefully, is laying against the dog's side. The dog is looking gently at the baby, a little heart above their heads.

Another brushbuddy. 😊 Those little fellas are my secret weapon against art block at the moment. Painting them brings me so much joy. This one definately knows how to take it slow and to take care of oneself. Rolemodel right here. 😊

Brushbuddy sitting in a brown cup of steaming green tea. Eyes closed, a pink towel on it's head, face flushed, the tail hangs outside the cup. The cup is a bit wobbly and already cracked. Tea drips from the tail into an already formed puddle. A used teabag sits on the left side of the cup. The background is green.

I'm not great with backgrounds/landscapes but I want to get better, so I tried really hard this time. One thing I'm good at (I think) are night skies but everything else is a struggle and often times frustrating.

Painted another little Brushbuddy because I love them so much :) I also wanted to animate parts of it but I all managed was this sparkle 😅 I had a really hard time finding tutorials for photoshop on youtube or that weren't "use this AI program..." Maybe I search again, when I got more time.
