A digital, bust, illustration of Creature, a living costume that looks like an anthropomorphic hybrid between a sheep, dog, horse, & troll. A pair of digital drawings of Barron Dohauser, a stocky man with caucasian skin & shoulder-length brown hair & brown sideburns, on a soft, earthy green background. The Barron on the left is looking to our right with a happy & friendly expression, softly smiling with his teeth. He’s wearing a blue doublet with a navy blue trim at the bottom & upper body section. Around his neck is an amethyst, green glass, & gold beaded necklace with a dark brown taxidermied paw pendant. He wears a light blue, floral patterned, long puffy sleeved with elbow-high cuffs, undershirt. He wears a brown leather belt around his waist, dark grey puffy pants, & black leather boots with a short heel! The Barron on the right grumpily looks over the scratch marks on the tree to his right. He has a hand touching the tree while his other hand is balled up into a fist at the right side. He’s wearing a deep green, diamond quilted, & sleeveless gambeson with a vertical stripe & three dot berry pattern. On top of it is a dark, sable brown fur cape; the bottom of the cape consists of many fox-like tails. Underneath the gambeson, he’s wearing a dull brown padded undershirt with a padded collar & pants. He has tall black leather flat-heeled boots, black leather elbow length sleeveless gloves, a leather belt around his waist with a hunting sword sheathed on his right, & a dark grey leather bag attached to his belt on his left. A digital illustration of Tombstone, a fat harbor seal & weasel-like Shadow Mount, sitting upright in front of a forest on a clear moonlit night. Tombstone is sitting in some grass at a three-fourths left profile, smiling with their eyes closed & their tongue lightly peeking out of their closed mouth. A full moon can be seen in the upper left corner of the image, the rest of the sky is filled with little white stars that are more visible the farther away from the moon they are. A faint, low to the ground fog can be seen with the grass behind Tombstone. A digital, full-body, illustration of Gwendolyn, a fat, soft pink furred, feminine-looking dullatroll with shoulder length fuchsia pink hair that’s styled into thick dreadlocks, looking at a small globe full of wet specimen sheep eyeballs. The background is a muted blue-teal that creates a simplistic spotlight effect around Gwendolyn. They’re wearing a pair of round prescription glasses, a dark grey sleeveless sweater, a day-night themed vest with gold trim & tassels on along the bottom, matching day-night themed pants with moon & sun patches on the corresponding knees, & a silver-&-gold eye-themed ring. They’re standing at a three-fourths left profile, contently smiling as they’re looking down at the sheep eye globe, their other hand absentmindedly playing with one of their vest’s tassels.

A digital, full-body, illustration of Gwendolyn, a fat, soft pink furred, feminine-looking dullatroll with glasses & shoulder length dreadlocks, standing in the middle of a pink-colored oddities shop. The shop is full unusual decorative items. A taxidermied elk calf & turkey sit in the dark foreground. The walls are lined with framed bugs, fish, & birds. Humorously dressed taxidermied passenger pigeons stand on a table beside a geode. The shelf behind Gwendolyn is full of wet specimen sheep eyes, octopi, & snakes in globes, as well as & dry specimen birds & snakes in domes. Gwendolyn is contently smiling as they’re looking down at a small globe full of wet specimen sheep eyeballs in their hand, their other hand is absentmindedly playing with one of their vest’s tassels.

Here’s Banjo’s new reference sheet! (Took a whole year for me to finally adjust their tail to finish it, whoops!)

Banjo is the main protagonist of a story I’ve been working on for a while now!

#furry #monster #anthro #creature #FurryArt #ReferenceSheet #CharacterSheet #CharacterDesign
A digital reference sheet of Banjo, an anthropomorphic cat-bird beast, wearing their main brown & yellow hooded outfit on a light blue background. On the upper left, the handwritten text reads, “Banjo, they/them, two foot six.” Along the top of the image are multiple circles featuring the colors used to color Banjo. From our left to right, the first drawing is of Banjo’s front profile, they’re standing with their arms at their sides, looking towards the viewer with an anxious look on their face. The second drawing is of Banjo’s side profile, specifically their left profile, looking straight ahead from where they’re standing; they’re missing their arm only for the purpose of showing their sides without obstruction; a white oval with a soft pencil “X” is shown where the base of their arm should be. The third drawing is of Banjo’s back profile, they’re standing with their arms at their sides just like their front profile; their left wing & tail are missing for showing half of their backside without obstruction; white ovals with a soft pencil “X’s” are shown where the base of their wing & tail should be. A cropped, close up image of Banjo's saddened/anxious face from the front profile from their reference sheet; you can easier see the cut & bite mark in their ears, their green cat-like eyes, & their whiskers.

I've finished updating Bentley's design in time for Artfight this year!

(Bentley is my mascot, btw!) Third, here's him in his new main outfit! (I gave him pants!)

#furry #FurryArt #anthro #monster #creature #CharacterDesign #DigitalArt
A digital, full-body, illustration of Bentley in his main out, on a light orange background; four alternating darker orange stripes decorate the edges of the image. Bentley is a fat & muscular, purple, goat-like monster with tall grey horns & long ears. He’s smiling & looking at the viewer, standing with his clawed hands on his furred hips. He’s wearing two black hoop earrings in each ear, a turquoise vest with a notched collar, an orange button on his right breast on the vest, & pear green shorts.

Here's a redraw of an older doodle I had made of Graves (another dullatroll character of mine) last year, now featuring his new design! (Just in time for Artfight!)
#furry #furryart #monster #creature #anthro #fantasycharacter #dullahan #dullatroll #doodle
A traditional art, pencil doodle of Graves, a muscular & masculine-looking dullatroll with their hair in a bun, standing with their hands in their pants pockets, calmly but curiously looking to our right, drawn on a solid white notecard. A single thin rectangular piece of paper is placed on our right of the drawing as username watermark for the image, it reads, “@cartooncreaturelover.”

Here's an older (but, still lovely) piece of my dullahan lady, Deidra Quinn!

#monster #creature #dullahan #monstergirl #fantasy #fantasycharacter
A digital, bust, illustration of Deidra Quinn, a dullahan woman with speckled skin, a dutch mohawk braid, & tall bat-like ears on a simple, darker blue-teal background. She’s facing our left & is looking slightly downward at something out of frame with a friendly & soft smile on her face.

Finally! Page 2 (of 6?) of the Book 1, Chapter 15, Sir Callie comic is done!

It’s very fitting I managed to finish this part in time for Valentine’s Day, haha! I had so much fun drawing all the Elowens, I’m not sure which one is my favorite!

#FanArt #SirCallie #Comic #FanComic #QueerBooks
A digital comic page depicting a scene between Callie & Elowen from Sir Callie and the Champions of Helston by Esme Symes-Smith. The text at the top reads, “Sir Callie and The Champions of Helston. Chapter 15, Page 171. Dialogue & characters by Esme Symes-Smith. Art by Rachel Martin, @CartoonCreatureLover. The comic begins with Elowen looking down at Callie, who is offscreen, with her arms crossed, saying, “Well, it’s true. I’m not going to lie to you. Friends tell each other harsh truths.” Callie responds, looking away from her, “Wish you’d tell me nice lies instead.” Elowen suddenly bends down, getting close to Callie’s face, both blushing, with Callie looking surprised as El says while smiling sweetly, “Find someone else.” They look away from El, face still red, “Don’t you have needlework to stab?” She confidently responds, already a couple steps back from them, “I’m a prodigy. I can leave my lessons whenever I like.” Callie points at themself, “To come & bother me?” She turns to face them, placing her hands over her heart, & playfully responds, blushing, “To bestow upon you the company you so desperately crave.” Elowen dips into an elegant curtsy, & playfully says with one eye still open, sparkles all around her, & face still blushing, “Man cannot live by a sword’s companionship alone.” Callie stares at you, the audience, completely unamused & tired of this already.

And here’s two panels I knew I wanted to see *without* the text bubbles, so I made sure to actually draw behind the text bubbles for these!
A close up image of the third panel of the comic without the text bubble. Elowen suddenly bends down, getting close to Callie’s face, both blushing, with Callie looking surprised as El smiles sweetly. A close up image of the last panel of the comic without the text bubble. Elowen dips into an elegant curtsy, smiling playfully with one eye still open, sparkles all around her, & face still blushing. Callie stares at you, the audience, completely unamused & tired of this already.

Happy valentines especially to all asexual, aromantic and/or aplatonic people. Peoples ability to feel certain types of attraction doesn't determine how caring people can be for each other and our humanity. You matter! 💜💜

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

I’ve been wanting to try making comics for YEARS now, & FINALLY got around to cleaning up one of my MANY notecard thumbnails; this one adapting a piece of what’s probably my favorite chapter in Book 1 of Sir Callie!

(Part 1 of, maybe, 6? We’ll see!)

#FanArt #SirCallie #Comic #FanComic #QueerBooks

Chapter 15, Page 171. Dialogue & characters by Esme Symes-Smith. Art by Rachel Martin, @CartoonCreatureLover. The comic begins with Elowen looking down at Callie, who is looking up at her while covering up an open blank-paged sketchbook, as she sets a plate of biscuits on the desk. Elowen says, “Take a break. You look exhausted. You must’ve been studying since dawn.” Callie says, “Haha.” & thinks, “But I feel it too. Must be something in the weather.” They yawn & put a biscuit in their mouth, getting lost in their thoughts as they chew, thinking, “Lemon. Score. Or maybe it’s all those late nights finally catching up with me. Either way—” Elowen interrupts their thought, startling them with her cold hand pressed against their forehead; she says, “Well, you’re not feverish. But you do look pale.” Callie scoots away from her, their cheeks reddened & less pale than before, saying, “Rude.” but thinks, “Usually I hate being fussed over, but apparently I mind it a whole lot less when it’s Elowen.” Elowen looks down at them annoyed, her hand pulled back from their forehead.

You know what? I don’t talk much on here since I usually never know what to talk about, but I think I’d like to yap about the work & choices that went into that first Sir Callie comic I made (because I put a lot of little details & things into it)!

So, here’s a thread! (0/20)

Discovering that not everyone sees static when they close their eyes or look at dark objects has been mind blowing. I have other symptoms of the syndrome, including tinnitus, light sensitivity and migraines. It's apparently more common in artists.

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past.

I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.
