Happy Halloween! Here's a ghost dog I designed. They might do a trick if you give them a treat! 👻🐶 #art #kidlitart #illustration
An illustration of a cute cartoon ghost dog with a purple color scheme, swirly ears and tail, stitched dark patch over one eye, teal-green tongue and collar with a ghost icon on it.

IMO, what people don’t get about .hack//SIGN is that the mystery is the side-plot. It’s really a story about strangers online coming together to help a kid who's severely unwell. They make mistakes & learn to be open-minded & patient even when no progress is made. "Stay with them" is the whole point

Just hope the "touch grass" movement doesnt become ableism and leave people behind. Many people's only way to connect is through online community. Social media is a mess, but virtual spaces are still important and lifesaving.

Oops forgot to post here for awhile, here's my 3-page comic "Double Life" from early this year.
A black and white full page comic titled Double Life by Brittany Penn. It shows a cute alien sleeping and dreaming of many different scenes in different thought bubbles, all adventures with another alien of a similar design but inverse colors. they are flying in the sky, in a classroom, winning a spaceship race, painting with big brushes, sitting on a beach, riding atop a subway train in a city, being weird creatures, being sea creatures, or holding hands in space. The alien awakens and says "Oh I was sleeping." You can see the alien's ship going past planets and the alien examining weird little creatures and plants. They say "I can still see them so clearly in those absurd dreams. It may be millennia, if we ever meet again. But I don't mind, that's how we are. We both have our reasons for living in each galaxy." The alien stands on a weird planet looking out at the cosmos and says "Things I see in my waking life, and the things I see in my dreams, they're all a part of this experience, there's no difference in my mind... After all, all memories become dreams in the end... We've lived so many lives in dreams, and regardless if it's true, I'll never stop living this double life with you."

Nintendo should let us use Mii-vtubers for the new gamechat!
I don't want to see my scrappy face on the screen, I get enough of that reflecting on the dark loading screens lol.
A Tomodachi-Life-style voice changer too please.

Some character design ideas I had, inspired from the plants that make coffee, tea, and cocoa. #characterdesign #art
Three cute plant-person characters inspired by coffee, tea, and cocoa. above them are a few facial expressions of each character and below them are reference photographs of the real plants that inspired them, collected from google. The coffee character is leaping in a dancing pose with leaf clothes and many red beaded necklaces and white pompoms on their head like the blossoms. Tea is light green with a leafy cape and tunic and skinny body with e a froglike smile. They are sitting on the ground calmly with the legs folded under them similar to criss-cross position, they have leafs flowing down like hair and a flower blooming on top. Cocoa is brown and yellow with a green leaf on their head like a ponytail. they are short and stout which shapes reminiscent of a Hershey's kiss candy, especially the cape which has fur like the blossoms.

Here's the full image of my previous dinosaur post! Not sure how Bluesky reacts to extra long images. #kidlitart #art #illustration #dinosaurs #dinosaurart
A colorful painting of wacky cartoon dinosaurs. It starts with a yellow sky and white clouds and an orange long-necked dinosaur stands upright on it’s back legs as it leans up against a tall palm tree to eat a leaf. Behind it are three distant red volcanoes spurting a bit of lava and a purple bipedal horned dinosaur similar to a ceratosaurus with a goofy expression. Below that are two deep blue small and slender troodons running across the orange dirt, then green reeds on the sides and a white splash in the middle coming from a red bubbly water with fish and the curling long body of a red croc-like sarcosuchus that has wild orange eyes and a long snout full of zigzagging teeth curving across the picture in a smile. Finally below some pebbles are underground burrows of sleeping rodent-like early mammals along with a spider, toad, and a turtle.

Been working on this group scene for my children's illustration portfolio #kidlitart #illustration #art
A colorful illustration in a cute art style of many different children playing in nature near a forest path, swirly water, and rolling hills in the distance under a pink sky. Some kids balance on rocks in the water while others go fishing, explore, look at small animals, or gather around a small campfire.

I painted this creature inspired by the #chaoticdrawalong prompt "Love Goat". #art #illustration #animalart
A pink digital painting of a winged ram or goat creature with the horns curled in a heart shape and it has a long thin purple tail that ends in a pink heart. The creature has a pink head that fades to a purple body and blue wings. It is standing on a mountain as the morning sun rises behind pink clouds and the starry sky above.

Inspired from the #chaoticdrawalong prompts "Cat Detective" combined with "Lost In The Woods" #art #kidlitart #illustration
A blue illustration with inky line style and hard black shadows of a cute cartoony cat detective shining a flashlight in the woods at night. there are spooky orange-yellow eyes peeking from a hole in a tree and the face of a sneaky blue coyote character peering from the shadows.

⚡️You gotta check out Micah's lighting animation tutorial! He worked super hard researching & fitting in as many different kinds of lightning as he could. There's so much to learn from it! Also I helped make the ebook PDF you can buy.⚡️
