My sibling, who may be going by NB they/them terms now on, wanted me to post the OG file they made. In part, because it's kinda wild. They made the image in modern MS Paint, but the text was typed into MS Word, screenshotted, then pasted into paint. One screenshot for the font border, one for color.

I wish there was a federated shop system. Some way of subscribing to online shops, and being able to search products from all subscribed shops.

Something that lets small businesses/artists run their own stores, but also allows customers convenient browsing across favorite stores in one view.

It was hard keeping a straight face trying to paint this model at this angle. Have another goofy screenshot, and a render of the glaive itself. Inspiration of Monster Hunter glaives, Shiisa dogs, and the spider lotus flower. When I finally draw myself a fursona, I will have them posing with it.

Making a 3D model of a Glaive, in the style of a Monster Hunter weapon. I want to make a fursona, and I have ideas, but kind of intimidated to even really start.... so I started with an accessory instead.... Look at this goofy ahh

This is actually what I did for Kinu on the gate. I created a terrible model, and placed it in front of the background image to try and get the pose/angle/scale right. Then used that as a reference.

Back home from #ANE. My sister (with her Rooibos OC) and I gave out free cinnamon tea at the con for fun. The idea started thanks to Cinna, my cinnamon/tea braixen adopt. My sister made a custom felt badge for me shaped as a tea bag for the con. Hope everyone that got tea enjoyed it!

I've not drawn chibi before, so decided to try and chibi-fy Kinu. This is the result. Not perfect, but it turned out cute. I learned there is a fine-line between chibi and baby. For this, that line was too much forehead in my first attempt drawing this.

OG design by @\keldel.bsky.social.

Happy New Years! This took forever and I'm still not super happy with how it turned out. It's not as cute as the ref. OG design/adopt from @\sylfeanne.bsky.social (I'm not sure the etiquette on this. Is it preferred to break the @ link to prevent spam notifications or not? I see both going on...)

Cinna is now up on my site talking about tea!

I think I finally got the base to a point I kinda like. I forgot to color the ears earlier x.x.

Now onto expressions! I've not done a ton of expressions before, so good practice. It's working out well but my first attempt at a sad expression came out angry... Looks good so I kept it anyway lol

I've been struggling last few days to get this headshot right. Why does art have to be so hard.... at least I think I have it about right now.

Character is Cinna, an adopt designed by @giyuyuchan.bsky.social

My plan is to add Cinna to my site and have her talk about tea in a PMD-style dialog.

I made a neocities-style webpage www.zinziv.com

Main thing there is business cards my sister and I got from stores we wanted to track, mostly from furry conventions.

I was advised IRL that they did not contrast well with the sky. Added little highlights and clouds to provide better contrast. Then tried adding shadows since... clouds... I think it was good advice.

Some art I made of an adopt I got from @keldel.bsky.social. Pretty proud of it! I can't decide if I should name them Ziv and use them as an avatar or if I should go third-person and name them Kinu...

Either way, I plan to use this as an entry image for a geo/neocities style webpage in the future.

I have a few minutes left before #braixenday ends! Here is my #braixen contribution!

I've liked so many cool artists and art pieces on bluesky that now I can't find a specific one I want to see again 😢

Is there really no search function for things you've liked?

Sun DCA from FNAF made as a present for a friend. Inspired by alnica.bsky.social 's felt dogs.

Gift art for Tehaxis on FA of his werewolf OC Mora. I tried to put her into that Sidon pose from Zelda BOTW. This is by far the hardest art I've tried anatomically. It's not quite right but it feels like I rolled a critical success and made something arguably outside my skill level.

I love the tail concept. I tried to do some Yam fan art and put her on the Windows XP background.

I decided to draw Laguna from #MoonlightPulse. I played it first on the train ride to AC. It's a good game!

Okay, so... still stoked with how it originally turned out, however the right leg and uncentered neck started to bug me. So here is Miss Curator from #snacko corrected.

Miss Curator from Snacko. It's been a fun game so far.

@bostontrophywife.bsky.social seen you at the variety show yesterday. Your performance was on point. Good stuff.
