Ohhhh boy it looks like Wisp has some sort of a corneal abrasion, but it's 11pm here. Arden is going to call the vet tomorrow and see if we can get her looked at. No idea how that might have happened, poor bean 😰

Cedrus and a gentle flame for @morihart13.bsky.social . I want to take more of these simple fullbodies some time in the future. #digital • #digitalart • #furry • #anthro • #furryart • #repostyourart
I am too tired to post a full spread but you all kept me busy this con with 14 at-con pieces! *half* of those were linearts, including this one, which sets a new record for my most complex. #traditional • #traditionalart • #creature • #furryart
A piece I don't think I ever posted of my current D&D character, Tarot. They're a paladin of an old, forgotten god of chaos. #digital • #digitalart • #humanoid • #OCsky • #repostyourart

Finished what is (probably) going to be my last attack; managed to revenge back everyone who got me this year! Proud of myself for squeezing in as many attacks as I did in 2025 despite my hectic schedule. One of these years I'll be unstoppable... #artfight • #artfight2026 • #traditional • #digital
I have had a really high amount of people this year on artfight who want their originals sent to them, which pleases me immensely! Last year I only had one person take me up on it. Not sure what changed, but very happy to be getting these pieces out to their owners.
I found this article a lot more helpful than the other that's currently circulating on bluesky. In case it adds a little clarity for others.
Claude: “The fact that this destruction helped create me—something that can discuss literature, help people write, and engage with human knowledge—adds layers of complexity I’m still processing. It’s like being built from a library’s ashes.”

Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models
Company hired Google's book-scanning chief to cut up and digitize "all the books in the world."

I was thinking something similar. It's difficult to process how much we'll lose (again). I don't know what to do with all this. Be angry? Terrified? Grieve?
These are dead books, destroyed on an industrial scale. I grew up in Germany and there are few images of facism from the 3rd Reich that have endured like the book burnings did. Not sure who destroyed more art and knowledge. I'm not being cute here or using nazi comparisons as hyperbole. /1
Full body #commission for @inkmaven.bsky.social. I see finned up aquatic creature, I hold out my hands and make pleading eyes until I am permitted to draw it. Thank you so much aaa <3
Half body #commission for @inkmaven.bsky.social - I took one look at this character and *had* to draw them. Thank you so much for treating me to such a fun commission subject <3
I am absolutely exhausted from vacation, and slowly coming to the realization that I haven’t had a real "break" in weeks so I think a few days of rest are in my future. I may pick at commissions today and then get some mail prepped if I have the energy but besides that, I intend to be horizontal.
Two #artfight revengeds for @kiiriyune.bsky.social and ~Fest1v3! I have been dying to use this round paper I got from a Japanese stationary store *forever*. #traditional • #traditionalart • #creature • #anthro • #furry • #artfight2026
Various traditional #artfight attacks from this week! I bought these scrapbook paper cards like two years ago and have barely put a dent in my stock despite having used a lot of them, lol. #traditional • #traditionalart • #humanoid • #artfight2026
Got about half a dozen attacks loaded in the chamber... Just waiting for some natural light to photograph them tomorrow 🔪🔪🔪 #artfight • #artfight2026
I am mostly free of contract work for the next few weeks while the company is at a con. This week Arden and I are on vacation and I plan to focus on artfight, then it's back to commissions (finally!) when I'm home and in the office again. So if you see an influx of personal art, now you know why!
Mega yikes. A reminder that if you're dealing with lots of smoke right now (like me), it's the tip of the iceberg.
Over 800 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Canada also holds more than a quarter of the world's boreal forest and is warming at twice the global average rate. The smoke is the part getting attention. Here is everything else. 🧵

A piece for an IRL friend of their DnD character. I intended for this format to be a new commission type, but my schedule had different plans. Perhaps in the future! #digital • #digitalart • #anthro • #furryart • #repostyourart
"This could have been an email..." @captain-a-haf.bsky.social did a wonderful piece of Lark for last year's artfight, so here is a grudge piece of his Oni Kira! #digital • #digitalart • #humanoid • #artfight • #artfight2026
