Ice cream party!

Five of my original characters sitting by a northern lake on a beautiful day, enjoying some ice cream and goofing around. From left to right:
- Galen (he/they) a nonbinary trans man with salt and pepper hair tied back in a bun, is sitting on a log. He has a very flustered expression
- Jules (he/him) a cis man with long messy black hair and wearing a 90s track suit. He is laying on a beach towel + leaning against Galen and telling a very bad joke
- Quinn (she/they) an androgynous nonbinary person with fluffy blue hair, is sitting on the ground and laughing
- Rainier (she/her), a tall trans woman with short red hair and wearing a cute summer hat. She is eating an ice cream cone
- Vonnie (she/they) a short femme enby with long red freeform locs, is cuddling with Rainier, her girlfriend

Denny and Alex 💕 #art #queerart #oc #ocsky 🎨

Drawing of two of my OCs, Denny and Alex, platonic partners. In one of them, Denny is holding Alex's face and looking at them, and in the other, the two are dancing. They are both transmasc. Denny is pale with long blond hair and wears cozy cute colorful clothes, while Alex is skinny and pointy and has a brown undercut. Alex wears kind of plain simple clothes.

happy valentines corn dogs #art #oc #ocsky #queerart 🎨

Drawing of my OCs Denny and Alex cuddled together on a park bench as they eat corn dogs. Denny is a big bigger and taller and paler with long pale blond hair and thick eyebrows. He is wearing pink heart earrings, a pink heart sweater, gray pants, and brown shoes. Alex is skinny with a short brown undercut and scruffy thin facial hair. They are wearing a brown shirt, bluish gray jacket, jeans, and purplish sneakers. There's a yellow heart for friendship above them.

QRP with your starry art 🌠

A digital drawing of a tiny witch in purple with little stars dangling from her hat walking her pet snail, who has a star on its purple collar below a starry night skyA digital drawing of a tiny witch in purple with little stars dangling from her hat walking her pet snail, who has a star on its purple collar below a starry night sky

A digital drawing of a mole in a red sweater digging out an oak tree sapling with a shovel next to some trees, roots and grass. Its star shaped lantern is glowing next to it and its earthworm friend is surveying the work. A watering can, a bucket and the handle of a smaller shuffle are strewn around them.

A digital drawing showing a Shetland sheep in a blue Fair Isle knitted sweater and a long blue coat with bright stars and a moon collar. A little hamster in a matching sweater is balancing on one of its horns, holding up a glowing star. The background shows a starry sky and a few tiny houses and trees on top of the hill that the sheep is standing on.

A digital drawing of a night-themed dragon featuring a tree with stars tied to it in place of wings and a little scene with a lantern lit street leading up to a house with star shaped windows on it's back. The dragons horns form a moon and it is breathing gentle clouds across the landscape. In the foreground, some white flowers and an alert white bunny are sitting in the curled end of the dragons tail

Two painted buntings are perching on a branch in a middle of a grass prairie. The more colorful male (blue head, bright greenish-yellow top-back, red belly, orange-red down-back, dark wings and tail) is in the front while the much more muted female (green all over, lighter belly) is in the back.

Saw a cute ceramic piece and i just had to draw it #CastorArt

Digital art. A painted study of a ceramic sugar bowl shaped like a creature, and sketches of the same creature in different poses.
It looks like a small, stumpy little dragon, or maybe a weird dog. It has a forked tongue, no eyes, and 2 litle horns on the back of its head.
