Had to take a photo of my “nesting area” for a commission and….man. One of the best decisions I ever made was getting rid of my dining room table and turning this space into a cozy gamer/art nook 🥹💖 I never used the dining room table unless I was wrapping gifts lol

WIP: I’ve never been able to comm a furry car artist so I guess I just decided to randomly Mario-kartify both Gen fox and my car?? Not sure where this even came from but it’s cute and fun so thought I’d share some messy silliness rather than hide it in a folder! 🤷‍♀️

Hoo boy, I do NOT miss trying to color- match furs from my old fursuit-making days… 🥲 But I will say that I am thrilled that there are so many more colors available that I remember struggling to find before (lookin’ at you, gray furs lol) Anyway, my personal summer project continues! 😎

WIP 🪡: it’s been a VERY long time since I’ve made a giant foam mess!! This is a rough and sloppy prototype for an experimental personal project that I am equal parts nervous and excited about taking on 🤞🤞 taking a break from art to build something with my hands feels good! ✂️

TW: spiders! 🐺🕸️ I’ve grown to love wolf spiders since I’ve lived in Georgia. They don’t build webs, they’re intelligent, and they act as amazing pest control by solely hunting on the ground; which is important because roaches are a big problem here. But not at my house! lol 👏

Noticed this while making my bed this morning……can you guess my favorite colors?? 😂 Also yes hello I am still alive and kickin’, just staying busy/quiet behind the scenes while I work on projects! I’ll try and find things I can share soon so I can start posting online more often 💖

Finally finished up a fun encounter featuring my wolves, Gabriel and Shiloh! I’ve been watching a lot of anime lately thanks to my big sweet boyfriend, so I was going for an anime-ish look? 🤔 eh, it was fun to play around and learn some new things, at least lol 🎨

🎨 Finished personal art featuring my characters Shiloh, Nyru, and Gabriel! This is the first non-sketchy art I’ve finished for myself in over a year, which is insane and has reignited my dedication to telling these characters’ stories and building their new world this year! 💪

WIP: I’ve FINALLY figured out the method/medium in which I’d like to tell my personal stories moving forward (only took a year+ 🥲), so here’s a quick shot of the latest illustration I’m working on! Looks like Nyru might be in a bit of trouble? 👀

Doodle Dump: Shiloh, Defender of Freshmen! lol 💪 Just a silly random sketch I made for fun while I listened to old music from high school. Trying to get back in the swing of things and warm-up by loosely sketching whatever sounds fun to draw at the time! c:

Finished book cover commission for AlyssaMaiya on DA! ✨ This was one of the larger projects I worked on over the summer that also included 8 b/w chapter art illustrations. Go here if you’d like to learn more or support the author’s project! gofund.me/3e0812931

Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃 I decided to dust off my Quaylak suit tonight and hug ALL the neighborhood kids (and moms/grandmas lol) 🩵 first time in many years that it wasn’t 80 degrees outside, which was nice. Stay safe out there and enjoy all the treats, friends! 🍭🍬🍫

Doodle Dump: just a bunch of sketches I made the last few months of my wolf gal, Shiloh! And maybe a lil cameo of Nyru lol I never feel as if I draw her face consistently, so I’m trying to get better at that. Been a busy summer full of projects but, I’ll try and share more soon!

Finished pencil commission from a few months ago featuring @eddiesantiago.bsky.social’s Razor and my gryphon girl, Rebel! Compared to the last drawing, this one is a bit more somber as these two friends share a quiet moment of support for one another during tough times. <3

Finished pagedoll commissions for the month of April! I loved making all of these and appreciate the support 🩵 Most were YCH slots offered on DA/FA, but I tried out a few customs as well. Gonna try out some furry/anthro poses next, so stay tuned my fellow furbies! lol 👏

Is $115 + shipping too much for a traditional con badge these days? I’d like to open for a couple of slots soon but I had to raise my prices just a bit to try and cover the time they take me to make. It’s about 6-7 hours each 🫠 if I could work faster I would hnnggg Thoughts?

AHHHHH they sold me all their remaining displays too!! 🤩 My traditional art game is about to become entirely too powerful lol I just got home so it’s time to reorganize my entire desk and get these new additions cleaned up and ready to be given fresh purpose! 💪

I now have an art supply store in my office

WIP: soooo many new pagedoll babies that are ready to be cleaned up and shaded! 👏

WIP: MAD 😡

Korra had her spring grooming session + a bath on Friday and….yeaaah this is why she needs a professional every 3 or so months because WOW 🙀 Second pic is just after the groomer left. She looks so much better now and you can tell she feels lighter/better, too! 🩵

✨I currently have some YCH Page Doll slots open! ✨ I’ve been busy working on smaller comms the last few weeks to help raise funds for some unexpected bills in May. DM me if you’re interested! Singles are 3️⃣7️⃣ and pairs are 6️⃣5️⃣. Reposts appreciated 🩵 #artcommissions #furry #furryart #ych #feralart

Recently received this sample from Zap! Creatives of a keychain prototype for my Shiloh charm 🩵 the colors came out a bit too saturated but the quality of the charm itself is great (I like the double layers). Now to see how it holds up over time! Art by the awesome @heychikinan.bsky.social 👏

My fella and I spent five days in Costa Rica last week for a friend’s wedding and had a blast! 🌴 I’ve never been to a place where all the local flora/fauna was completely different. Toucans flying around, wild monkeys, hiking in rainforests, tapir crossing signs…it was WILD and I loved it 💚

All that laminator drama aside, the badge is finished, laminated, and has been mailed off to @jamsthecat.bsky.social as of today! 👏 Love the way this one turned out 🩵🎶

I’ve had my laminator for 19 years and this last weekend was the first time it did not perform as expected and scared the crap out of me 🥲 Long story short, I was able to recover the artwork and believe the issue was with the laminate pouches and not the laminator itself? 🤔

WIP: all together now! 👏😻 I’ll be cutting/assembling everything for @jamsthecat.bsky.social’s badge tonight! I love seeing the progression of these badges through all my different creation stages. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of making con badges for the fandom 🩵 [ #furry #furryart ]

WIP: made more progress with detail work last night on @jamsthecat.bsky.social’s badge! 🎨 Hoping to get this fellow wrapped up tonight or tomorrow. 👏

WIP: inks and flat colors are down for @jamsthecat.bsky.social! We were really having fun with designing the stylized text for his name yesterday 🎶🎵🎼 Will move on to my fav part tonight — shading and detailing! 👏🤩 [ #furry #furryart ]

WIP: pencil sketch is finished and approved for this standard badge commission for @jamsthecat.bsky.social! :D Next step is inks and flat colors, so I’ll share those phases here too when I’m done. Hoping to get this one finished between today and tomorrow! ✨ [ #furry #furryart ]

One slot left! ✨ I totally didn’t realize my DM settings limited who could message me, so that’s my bad and the problem should be fixed now. 👏 And to help combat scammers, I also have a form you can fill out that will allow me to email you directly to discuss: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
