#Mashaween25 day 29 - clown 🤡

Now is not the time for me to get into detailed character concepts, so got a little fast and loose on this one. I love them.
Digital illustration of a jester-type character that is an anthropomorphic crow. The purple crow is wearing a long vest with alternating pink and blue panels, pink and blue striped cuffs and spats, a hat with four floppy points, and a yellow ruffled collar. The clown crow is posed as if they are juggling mid leap.

The progress I've made after a roughly four hour painting session.
#wip #art #acrylicpainting
Photo of a small canvas with a partially done firetruck painting. The background has solid colors and the firetruck has the red and red and yellow bumper painted in but is otherwise unpainted The same small painting but now the grass in the background is darker and more detailed. The firetruck now has the white and silver filled in on the truck and the tires have been added. The firefighters sitting inside the truck have been painted in and are almost finished.

I don't know if this applies in other countries (like my own), but something for Americans to keep in mind:

Relatedly, this is your reminder that if a food pantry would help you, you should definitely go to one.

Food pantries, like libraries, keep numbers of how many people they help. Numbers help them get funding. You are not taking from anyone; you are helping the food pantry exist.

SNAP recipients told to buy shelf-stable food or go to food banks as funding deadline looms.

There might be claw-backs of any saved funds on Nov 1.

New painting i finished yesterday titled "listen"

#acrylic #art #aliens
Painting on a square canvas. The sky is bright blue and there is an alien spaceship disguising itself as a red barn. In the foreground is a large field with three aliens looking at each other towards the back of the field. At the very front there is dirt where the feild ends and there is another alien sitting on the ground with ears but no mouth playing with some pieces of grass

#Mashaween25, day 16 - toad. 🐸

After my initial sketches of toad-crows bored me, I pivoted to tadpoles for much more satisfying results. 😁
Digital Illustration of two tadpoles but with crow anatomy—crow head comprising the entire body and the tail looking like one big feather. One of the crow tadpoles has two little crow legs and has breached the surface of the water.

Scarecrow crow, but the double crow cancels out, so it’s just… scare!! 😱

#Mashaween25 day 18 - scarecrow
Digital Illustration of an unsettling scarecrow. It appears to be partially crow, with a pointed straw beak and wings, but hidden within the hay are peaks of a human skeleton inside. The scarecrow is jumping out of the tall grass, the sky looking ominous behind it.

Reminder that feeding your cats raw food at this time is NOT safe. The speed at which cats go from a light fever to dying of pneumonia or neurological symptoms is just a few DAYS.

I lost 2 cats to this in March and had around 20k in medical bills to save 2 others who were hospitalized.
