I was nervous of being able to depict a tabby cat with my usual style of splatter watercolour painting, but experimenting with the technique was fun!

This is Mya, for a friend of mine.

I couldn't pass by a challenge of ‪@punkdawg.bsky.social‬ with a tiger! So here is Tharia! I added her white stripes on the neck - do you think they look fine or it'd be better without them?

In 2019 we did a secret santa at work, and as part of mine I painted her dog! (It... was not very secret in the end lol)

I think he turned out pretty cute!

A little gift for my parents, featuring their two dogs!

Headshot illustrations of two very fluffy dogs: a Finnish Lapphund and a Japanese Spitz. The first dog is light brown with big ears and the second one is completely white and a little smaller.

Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar ☃️

I sculpted this large humpback whale last year, and it found a new home through Bsky! Made from coarse paper mache which I really love sculpting with due to the organic surface texture it gives you. Painted with acrylics.
A large humpback whale sculpture mounted on a metal stand against a white background. The skin has a barnacled and rugged appearance, and it is painted in different blue hues ranging from near white to dark navy.
