A few color tests for Megrez! I’m having so much fun playing with lighting. I wish every scene had a little glowing creature in it
I’ve been quiet here bc I’ve been traveling - but I needed to pop in to say that I filled up my water bottle at a gas station soda fountain today and somehow ended up with a cursed hi-c / water combo
I just swept a disturbing amount of eraser shavings out from between my bedsheets and I’m reevaluating everything
Megrez inks! I love drawing old crooked buildings.
Colored this old drawing of Galoro as a cooldown after work. I love this guy, I want to find the time to draw him more!
She was groaning in discomfort the whole time she was like this, but also absolutely refused to move
I was packing up some art to send to @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social and I realized I never shared this illo! This one wasn’t for a project, it was just for fun. Usually when I draw for fun I end up drawing a lot of stars and clouds lol
I found a recipe for a single chocolate chip cookie and now i have a Friday night ritual of eating one cookie hot out the oven. It’s sounds insane but I stg it’s the best thing I’ve ever done

It’s been two years since we met our dog. She walked into that tiny room, so scared and still healing - and immediately curled up in my partners lap. I still have no idea how a dog that’d been let down so many times could be so trusting. Happy birthday, Tibby. Please stop getting older okay
Stayed up too late finishing my first ever quilt top!! This is what a wild Friday night looks like at my house
Just dumped a whole bunch of character designs for Hector and the Hidebehind on ye ol' patreon. Jane is looking a lot like Howl at the moment and a big part of me is fine with that
A gradient dragon for patreon sticker club! I love drawing a creature that's just a tangle of limbs and wings
My dog’s bed, the one she hangs out in while I work, has slowly become a lasagna. The layers are as follows 1- Regular dog bed 2- Small blanket on top of that 3- Another heated dog bed 4- Her very soft burrito blanket 5- A heated throw blanket She is currently between layers 4 and 5
