Some art I wanted to post for my Zootopia x Octonauts crossover on AO3 and FF.Net.

#zootopia #octonauts #pawbert #crossover #captainbarnacles
Digital art piece depicting two scenes of Captain Barnacles interacting with Milton and Pawbert Lynxley from Zootopia 2. In the top picture, Barnacles is inside a building talking down at Milton while holding a glass of pink champagne. Milton looks up at Barnacles with a miffed expression while holding a glass of red champagne. The walls behind them are made of ice. In the bottom picture, Barnacles is talking to Pawbert from across the table outside, a less full glass of champagne between them. Behind the pair are handrails made of ice. The silhouette of downtown Zootopia can be seen in the distance from across the harbor, various lights on. The table has a vase full of purple and white flowers.

Barnacles and Sarine are seated on a bench in a Norwegian forest as they share a smile. Barnacles has a hand on Sarine's back while Sarine has a hand on Barnacles' forearm. The spruce trees behind the pair are covered in snow.

A heads up to @angelofalls.com

I respond to your laughing sona challenge!
Me as my fursona, Scruff the Rat, a brown rat dressed in a white and blue vest and top hat, laughing in a fit of hysteria. I'm clutching my side with the other hand on my head as I lean back with one foot up and my eyes closed.

Pure 100% fluff and fun guaranteed.

#tadc #ocart #theamazingdigitalcircus
Digital art piece of Fono, my original character for Glitch Production's The Amazing Digital Circus, walking along the shore with Pomni, the two smiling at each other. Fono is shirtless and wearing dark teal shorts with a matching teal towel draped over his shoulder while Pomni has her usual hat on, a blue and white striped bikini, blue shorts, and blue and white shoes with a pair of black sunglasses in her left hand. There is a palm tree hanging over Fono and Pomni from offscreen, green hills in the background, fluffy clouds in the pink sky, and the Sun from Episode 7 smiling above.

A messy experimental Karnage x Baloo piece I wanted to churn out
A digital art piece of Don Karnage and Baloo from Disney's 90s show, Talespin, dancing in the street, striking identical poses, tipping their hats with one foot out. Karnage is dressed in a red dress shirt, dark grey pants, and grey dress shoes while Baloo wears a long dark purple dress with red lining. The background is colored in an abstract style, with a bear, a lizard, and a capybara playing a guitar while leaning against a pole visible on the sidewalk.

And here's my last art piece for 2025!

Thanks to all my followers (old and new) who have stuck by me.

Have a Hellaverse OC on me! My take on Archangel Michael!

#hazbinhotel #helluvaboss #ocart
Reference/character sheet for my Hazbin Hotel OC, Archangel Michael. Michael is a tall, chubby, Middle-Eastern presenting man with slight brown skin, dark brown hair with sliver streaks tied up in a low ponytail and full beard, and big bushy eyebrows. He is mostly see wearing a blue business suit, white dress shirt, purple tie with polka dots, dark-grey slacks, and blue and navy dress shoes. Several busts in the middle show him with various facial features. One pic on the right depicts him in a leather jacket and white T-shirt eating a slice of pepperoni pizza with a content smile while a pic on the bottom left shows him laughing while dressed as Santa Claus. The background is a pink and orange sunset sky.

Just had to get this OC I had for The Amazing Digital Circus out of my system

#theamazingdigitalcircus #ocart #glitch #tadc #anthro
Character reference sheet for Fono, my original character for The Amazing Digital Circus. Fono is a tall, chubby, and blue and green male dragon/taniwha with swirly yellow markings and dark blue hair. He wears a slightly dark green dress shirt with aqua green suspenders and pants. Various sketches show off his markings, including the ones on his back. One sketch on the bottom shows him with Jax, both of them scowling as Fono spares the rabbit a begrudging side eye.

Just wanted to try my hand at the Lilo and Stitch style by whipping up some OCs for the franchise.

The Buka Bird Font by Steven Ferrera is on www.dafont.com/buka-bird.font while the Contour W00 Regular font by Rian Hughes/Device Fonts is on www.webfontfree.com/en/download/....

#disney #ocart
Reference/character sheet for my three Lilo and Stitch OCs (from left to right): Experiment 614 (Bane), Experiment 615 (Einstein), and Experiment 620 (Alice). Bane is a purplish blue wolf-like experiment with a small mane of fur, large claws, a long snouth, and lighter purplish blue hands, feet, snout, and crescent-shaped front/back markings, and also a long tail. Einstein is a chubby white and grey experiment with poofy hair, mouse-like ears, a grey mustache and markings, and a short small tail. Alice is a light-blue and white experiment with dark blue eyes and nose and feet, white hair tips, and deeper blue chest and legs and forehead marking. She sports blue stripes around her upper arms, a bow like pattern on her back, and a blue and white rabbit-like tail. The top row consists of everyone's front views with their names directly above, while the bottom row comprises their back views with their respective experiment pods directly below. The background is simple, consisting of a red and green gradient with a fine texture and flowers.

Dear God, the background took so long with this one.

That said, I'm very satisfied with this one. Raz and Crunch are coming to mean a lot to me as a comfort couple.

Raz is my original character by the way. Crunch Bandicoot belongs to Microsoft.

#crashbandicoot #furryart #anthroart #ocart
A digital art piece of my Crash Bandicoot OC, Raz/Raspberry, and Crunch Bandicoot studying in the library of Raz's mentor. The library has a roaring fireplace with a clock and two blue potted plants on top, a framed picture of Raz's mentor and a dragon hanging above. The fireplace is bordered by two bookshelves full of various multicolored books. Crunch is napping on the table while Raz gazes at him with a loving expression. There are books, a plate of cookies, a lit candle, and two cups of steaming milk tea as well.

A paid commission for Grandpa Lion Tanuki who wanted a classic colored sketch of their fursona, Harold, in a butler's outfit, big bushy eyebrows included.

I'll be frank, it was nice busting out my colored pencils for this.

#anthroart #furryart #anthro #furry
Traditional colored sketch of an elderly male lion dressed like a butler. He sports a large puffy mane and mustache while holding up a tray with a blue martini while sporting a smile.
