Just a friendly PSA if you want to commission artists for Christmas presents, which is a great idea btw, you have to get on the ball about it BEFORE Thanksgiving. Like do it today. I'm not doing commissions personally I just want to save you panic or disappointment. Get on that dream artist ASAP 💛

Both tails are done, now to start on the belly. Also I just love how fluffy looking these tails came out 😍
#WIP #sculpture
A look at the unfinished four headed wolf statue. The tails are now fully furred, but there's still more to do. Another look at the statue from the other side One last look at the wolf's tail from below the upright tail.

Artists! Please show:

✨ the first piece you did in 2025
✨ your favorite piece of the year
✨ your most popular piece of the year
✨ your most recent piece
This was the first piece I finished this year. It was a dtiys and I used my oc Mira in the pose to depict her walking away as flames lick at her feet. This is so far my absolute favorite piece of the year even though I loved much of what I've worked on this year. This was the Halloween drawing I made last month featuring my ocs from my upcoming children's book series as little witches and cultists. I love this piece because I was able to make all the characters look as though they are interacting with one another as well as the way I was able to create lighting. This was my most popular piece this year. It's two full cosplays of the characters Mathias and Cornflower from the show Redwall. I spent 6 months working on these. I've never done anything like this and they turned out amazing, I even won a costume contest with them. My most recent piece is this small Raven painting that will be part of a much bigger painting featuring little watercolor paintings.

lol I fucking knew that little shit wasn't to be trusted.

Avoid the new Vine like a plague, they just want a pure dataset to scrape.

I did a live mini painting yesterday on Facebook and made this Raven skull. My goal is to fill up the whole paper with mini paintings and film each one. Not sure when I'll do the next one, or what I'll make but either way it'll be fun.

Who else listens to playists that focus on similar thematics to their current art project?

I'm currently listening to Greek mythology inspired music. What are you listening too?

Woke up way too early, so I figured I'd make some more coils and continue working on the tail. At least now it's looking like a tail.
#WIP #Statue
Grey clay coils on a grey work mat. This coils are used to help make the fur texture. The unfinished tail of latest statue. You can see I've almost finished this one, but it'll still take quite a bit of time.

The Art vs the artist's hand.

Some people asking me how I make art with long finger nails and that's when I say it's easier with them. Also yes they are my real nails.

Tails have been added! Still rough I know, but there's a process trust me. Next I'm going to start adding the fur coils.
#WIP #sculpture
The unfinished four headed wolf sculpture now has two tails. One lays on the ground the other curves upwards

Added the 4th head today. I decided to try giving it a tongue and a few teeth. Still have to bake it before moving on to ears and tails, but I think the hardest part is over... I hope.

The 4th unfinished head of the four headed wolf sculpture. This one has small tongue hanging out. A look at all four heads attached to the unfinished four headed wolf sculpture.

An old acrylic painting I made of two roosters fighting. It's done up in black and white within a Ying Yang symbol on a circle canvas.

2013 vs 2025!

I should do a redraw soon of an old piece like this! If I remember correctly, this was for a story I was writing for fun when I was in HS
Drawing of a woman with patchwork clothes and cargo pants. Her shadow stretches behind her Illustration of an armored woman leaning over an ornately dressed man, trapping him against a railing. She seductively turns her head and moves close to him, and the young priest flushes. The two are in a stone walkway in a courtyard with trees and bushes

Well after messing up and having to start over, I've managed to make two of the heads so far. Tomorrow I'm going to pop this in the oven as to avoid crushing these two when I'm working on the side heads. This was the reason I had to restart. Wish me luck 🤞🏼
#wip #sculpture
A wip of a 4 headed wolf. So far I've made the two center heads minus the ears. I'm modifying a dog statue I thrifted, some beads for eyes, wire & aluminum foil for structure, and polymer clay for sculpting.

Reminder (for myself as much as anyone): having to work a day job has no bearing on whether or not you’re a “real artist”.

An old sketch page from my first sketch book from December 2011. The night I got this and a pack colored pencils, I couldn't sleep, so I tried drawing different characters from anime. I drew Pikachu, a character from Bleach and various versions of hamtaro. All of which were drawn while looking at references. I was 16yrs old. A marker illustration I made this past October featuring various characters from my yearly Winston and Friends art challenge as witches and cultists. Many of these characters have appeared in the coloring book I made a few years ago and are the focus of my upcoming children's book series Winston & Friends. It's been 14yrs since I started drawing, I was 16 when I started and I'm 30 now. 14yrs of practice and passion, and I'm only going to get better and better.

Some fun news, the day after I reposted this painting I sold it. I made this last year and since then I've been thinking of making another but bigger and with a Raven skull. But due to the size of the frame I want to use, I'll have to hold off a little longer. It will happen though.
