Doing the short version of #birbfest2026 this year and using it as an excuse to practice digital painting techniques.

Week 1 is the Bronzewing Pigeon, a supremely colorful lad! I like how his face turned out

At the end of 2025 I participated in a fandom remix event!

My assigned fic was Sailor Pluto at the Time Gate ruminating on the nature of time and how to mark its passing when it's nothing so linear as humans like to think.

Inspiration: archiveofourown.org/works/129400...

Quick little skelly in the snow because painting these skeleton girls has been sparking a lot of joy and I wanted a ~festive~ one as we creep into winter

My sincere wish for all of us in 2026 is we all keep makin' art! Good, bad, stinky – it doesn't matter! Let's keep making things. ✏️💨

December's #BirdWhisperer is the European Crested Tit!

I liked how fluffy and orb shaped this little guy was, and the minimal colors with the bird, the branches and the snow was really appealing to me.

Continuing to play with my extremely skinny watercolor paper to doodle self indulgent #fanart :)

ChibiUsa floating up into the sky and back to the future, because I always thought the time travel in #sailormoon was really pretty :)

Mostly #watercolor with a touch of digital on the key

Commission of a cottage core themed sea dragon. It's a fun challenge for me to paint something neutral like an animal with a very human prompt, it gives me an opportunity to really put my own spin on it!

Bonus painting to accompany the sweet tender illustration posted yesterday: Shirtless Frog And Toad

I painted them as a warmup gag but I legit love how they turned out so I'm leaning into it.

I love @turtlesoup.bsky.social's bird photography so much! Here's a chill little painting based on this adorable snow bunting.

Playing around more with my super skinny watercolor paper with a sketch of Ami swimming. My goal was pretty much to play with poses and in that I am super happy with it.

Watercolor with digital touch-up for once :)

A certain Beaver themed movie won my art poll over on Patreon so I did a test painting to try a beaver in my style before embarking on the final piece.

2025 Art Summary

Wrapping up the end of the year with my favorite thing I did each month.

I ended up focusing on completely different things than I expected, but some of the works I've produced I am REALLY proud of

Bean Bunny from a Muppet Christmas Carol is my mother in law's absolute favorite muppet, so I painted him for her this year :)

March #BirdWhisperer: Brown Headed Cowbird

Sometimes I get really excited by shape and the best way for me to express that excitement is to be completely monochrome.

Sequel to my mistletoe gator from the other day. I got a couple comments here & tumblr interacting with the gator and so what the hey, let's paint some reactions.

Folks on tumblr smooched him and made him bashful, and folks here gave him presents :3

Hinako and her trusty steel pipe, fast asleep in the growth that swallowed her town.

Horror doesn't usually compel me to draw quite like #SilentHillf does. Something about the mix of story and art choices just makes me itchy to paint so I figure, sure, let's follow the impulse!
