A sketch I've been poking at lately. Originally intended as a line up to see how tall the hoof people are next to each other, it ended up looking like a remake of the very first sketch I did of the concept, haha! Designing clothes that look nice but don't cover up everyone's markings is hard.

A sketch on brown paper, depicting six characters standing side by side. From left to right, a skinny old faun standing with their hands on their hips, wearing a shoulder shawl of some sort and ankle length skirt. Another, taller faun standing in more neutral pose, wearing a shorter kilt/skirt thingy. A tall minotaur with similar kilt/skirt as the previous one. The fauns are at most tall enough to reach their ribs. A shorter, rounder faun with long ears and a short skirt, with hands on their hips. A skinny, bald faun with multiple necklaces, shoulder shawl similar to the first faun, and long skirt. They're standing arms crossed. One more faun, a fluffier and shorter one with fists on their hips, wearing a loincloth/shorts kind of cloth. Their hair is on a braid over their shoulder.

Started cooking up a potential new story setting over the holidays (as my ADHD tends to manifest in the form of headworlds), and I doodled this messy sketch as a concept for myself. For some reason tumblr really likes this one.

A really loosely sketched 2-panel comic. In the first panel there are three angry looking centaurs. One of them is pointing with a finger and saying "You're not seriously bringing one of those BEASTS with us!" In the other panel there are four equally angry looking fauns and a minotaur facing the centaurs. The centaur is pointing at the minotaur, who is twice the size of the fauns standing besides and in front her. One of the fauns is shouting back "Fuck off! She's ours!" refereing to the minotaur. As a brilliant show of myself being a creature/animal artist and not a human one, only the minotaur's face has any detail, while everyone else has stick figure faces.

Turns out ArtFight is still going on! Also, I somehow hadn't drawn a single dinosaur this year, so I had to squeeze one in while I still could. Character search brought up this delightful Centrosaurus called Pank belonging to firestorm_shiba. He was such a fun character to draw!

A portrait of a centrosaurus character drawn with markers on brown paper. The character is mostly white with pink and strawberry red spots on his nose, frill, neck and under his eyes. There is also red segment halfway up his nasal horn. The character is smiling.

So!! My foray into some silly tabaxi went a little overboard and here we are! These guys are not only here, they're available! I'm trying a little impromptu adopt auction starting NOW through WEDNESDAY the 15th at 11:59 PM CST, with a 24 hour after-last-bid caveat to avoid any mess.

Used these guys as an experiment to see if this new sketchbook can stand watercolors. Not amazingly, but still better than expected! Might change some of them later, not sure if I'm really feeling the gray on the bottom left one, but I'm quite liking these so far!

The same five faun characters as in the quoted post. The first one is now reddish brown, with black markings covering their neck and abdomen, with striking white markings on their hooves, hands and face. The second one kept the white marking covering them from their cheeks to their waist, the rest is now gomden brown with lighter hair. The third one is now fully reddish brown, except dor a wide white band around their waist/torso and face, with some small freckles of the reddish brown within the white. There are dark brown stripes framing their white face marking. Second row the next one is white from armpits down, their head, neck and shoulders being gray. They now have white chin and eyebrows, and their hair is slightly darker gray. The final one is now golden sandy brown, with darker brown markings circling around their nose and forehead, collar bones, hand and legs, and with darker stripes framing their lighter belly. Basically all of them have darker dorsal stripes along their spines, except where those get interrupted by white markings.

Drew some fauns for the same setting my centaurs and minotaurs are from. These guys are specifically the minotaurs' adoptive family. Mainly exploring their shapes, but got carried away with marking planning. (Haven't figured out markings for the top right one yet, but I'm liking the others!)

A drawing of five fauns on brown paper. The first one is skinny with "bald" head and small horns, with black marking covering their neck and stomach. The second one is shorter and more round, and has slightly longer horns, very long ears and even longer hair. They are white from cheeks down all the way to their belly button. The third one is the still markingless one. They are very fluffy, with long dark hair covering their eyes, and with horns that curve out to the side. They have magnificent pantaloons, as they are at least 80% pure fluff between hips and ankles. Bottom row, left one is long and skinny in an angular way, looks old. They have round horns curling around their perky ears. Their hair is on a bob cut, and they are white starting from halfway of the chest down. Final one is taller than the others. They have black nose and dark hair, wirh droopy ears and their horns curl upwards at the back. They have a black necklace type marking, and they are missing their left hand from wrist down.
