People kept sending me that video of the girl who drew and stuck up art for her frog so I gave the people what they wanted and did the same. Nothing but the best for my babies 💅 #art
A photograph of three small crayon drawings on a cutting mat. The first one is of a smiling frog on a lilypad on some water with some rushes in the background on a sunny day. The second is of a smiling frog with its back to us on a beach at sunset. The third is of a smiling frog sitting on some leaves A photograph of my pet whites tree frog Ditto on a pink couch stuck to the glass door of the tank. Ditto has a blank expression on their face. I have stuck 3 small drawings to the outside of the tank for my frogs to peruse

Got one of works old animation computers which meant I had no excuse to not defeat the optional boss of artists: the blender donut
A image of 3 3D iced donuts with Lilypad sprinkles on a white ceramic plate on a marble table. Drawing on top of the image is my frogsona doing the wojak pointing meme at the donuts. A crude drawing of my pet frog beans is on the donuts

Me: okay let’s do up this linework all nice and quickly
Also me: the appropriate size for this brush is 15px, this will in no way cause problems or lengthen the process at all

Fun fact: I experience most of my emotional processing of things through dreams and now I’m making it pay rent by making a 24 page comic about it. Please make sure I finish it so I can finally be free #comic

There is a speech bubble superimposed on top of it that has text that says “I am not your lover”. In the bottom right corner is text that says “by Kinley Raftery”

Decided to do some watercolour again after a long break and came up with this wave of frogs. Above is the sketch and below the final 🐸🌊 Pretty happy with how this turned out honestly #art #frog

Because I have free will I drew Beans as a froggy adventurer. Everyone agrees she is a Druid because eating dirt is her favourite activity #art

She is against a white background with light green circles and surrounded by a golden border with lilypad corners

Please believe me when I say the roll was comically large compared to the standard roll we get #comic
A 4 panel comic of me and my dad as frogs. I ask him “dad where is the double sided tape?” And he responds by handing me the box “there’s more in this box”. I open the box and it’s this comically large roll. I ask “did you get a big enough roll?” To which he responds “I debated this in the shop”
