Knocked out this bobcat yesterday. One more species of wild cat down for my series of portraits.

My dog had emergency medical issues this week which forced me to cancel a couple income opportunities. I would love some pet portrait (or other?) orders to make up for it and help cover the vet bills. Options, samples, and rates can be found on my website.

I decided to finish a piece based on concepts from several months ago, when I saw news about Ethiopian wolves likely being a pollinator! Gouache with colored pencil, touches of Posca pen & chalk pastel to really get that pollen feel on the snout. #pollinators #ethiopianwolf #malachitesunbird #art

Working out a piece based on the observations published some months back of Ethiopian wolves as pollinators. Hoping to have it done before a show entry deadline next week. 😬

I realized I should post my available #OOAK critters on here! I made these 3 back in 2022. They are all fully poseable with armatures. Hand sculpted faces and feet. DM if interested owning one. #ooakartdoll #creaturedesign #sculpture #art

My bff commissioned me for a black unicorn at dusk. I got to design the character, which was a bit out of my wheelhouse since I don't do a lot of equines, but it was fun to do something different. #unicorn #fantasyart #creaturedesign #blackhorse #art #digitalart #equine

I've got about a billion photos I've taken over the years and most of you have never seen them so I'm going to start sharing them more frequently.

These are scenes from Olympic National Park one winter.

I have a one day show (Verde Valley Comic Expo) later this month and I wanted some new "fantasy" art. I doodled some concepts of this critter last year. It is inspired by a tiny cactus I have in my yard. Horned lizard and badger were additional influences. #creaturedesign #dragon #cactus

Today’s random piece of nostalgic palaeoart: Alice Woodward’s Pteranodon!

This is a very old reconstruction, being published in 1912, but the anatomy is quite good for the time! Woodward’s approach to restoring the crest if wonderfully bizarre, looking almost like a hump rather than a crest! (1/3)

@opellisms.bsky.social's borzoi Marte! Based on really neat photo that showed almost his whole shadow.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I'll be a vendor at the Kachina Kennel Club's Copper Classic dog show this week. It will be my first time as a vendor at an all breed show, but they have agility, obedience, rally, dock diving and Fast CAT as well. #art #minischnauzer #petportrait #dogs #dogshow #dogsports

Another test I did for PDFC. I recently changed the species on the pet character, so I wanted to do something new of these two. #furry #art #anthro #cynocephalus #collie
January 16, 2025 at 7:18 PM
I drew some of my OCs before PDFC to see if I could pull off something similar in style and time to my base pet portrait with different characters. This is an acient #StarWars OC petting a #bogling from the Jedi games. #art #fanart #creaturedesign #snowleopard #furry #anthro

Attended my first furry artist alley at Painted Desert Fur Con yesterday. It went really well. Probably my best show ever for sales. I only had a little bit of time to check out other vendors, but when I did I threw my money and dog talk at @zulayawolf.bsky.social Dogs!!! Snow leopard!!!
