An updated view of my four headed wolf sculpture with a fuffly butt Another view of my wolf from the front. She now has a fluffy belly as well. Most of her heads are happy about this, one not so much.

Both tails are done, now to start on the belly. Also I just love how fluffy looking these tails came out 😍
#WIP #sculpture
A look at the unfinished four headed wolf statue. The tails are now fully furred, but there's still more to do. Another look at the statue from the other side One last look at the wolf's tail from below the upright tail.

Artists! Please show:

✨ the first piece you did in 2025
✨ your favorite piece of the year
✨ your most popular piece of the year
✨ your most recent piece
This was the first piece I finished this year. It was a dtiys and I used my oc Mira in the pose to depict her walking away as flames lick at her feet. This is so far my absolute favorite piece of the year even though I loved much of what I've worked on this year. This was the Halloween drawing I made last month featuring my ocs from my upcoming children's book series as little witches and cultists. I love this piece because I was able to make all the characters look as though they are interacting with one another as well as the way I was able to create lighting. This was my most popular piece this year. It's two full cosplays of the characters Mathias and Cornflower from the show Redwall. I spent 6 months working on these. I've never done anything like this and they turned out amazing, I even won a costume contest with them. My most recent piece is this small Raven painting that will be part of a much bigger painting featuring little watercolor paintings.

I did a live mini painting yesterday on Facebook and made this Raven skull. My goal is to fill up the whole paper with mini paintings and film each one. Not sure when I'll do the next one, or what I'll make but either way it'll be fun.

Woke up way too early, so I figured I'd make some more coils and continue working on the tail. At least now it's looking like a tail.
#WIP #Statue
Grey clay coils on a grey work mat. This coils are used to help make the fur texture. The unfinished tail of latest statue. You can see I've almost finished this one, but it'll still take quite a bit of time.

The Art vs the artist's hand.

Some people asking me how I make art with long finger nails and that's when I say it's easier with them. Also yes they are my real nails.

Tails have been added! Still rough I know, but there's a process trust me. Next I'm going to start adding the fur coils.
#WIP #sculpture
The unfinished four headed wolf sculpture now has two tails. One lays on the ground the other curves upwards

Added the 4th head today. I decided to try giving it a tongue and a few teeth. Still have to bake it before moving on to ears and tails, but I think the hardest part is over... I hope.

Well after messing up and having to start over, I've managed to make two of the heads so far. Tomorrow I'm going to pop this in the oven as to avoid crushing these two when I'm working on the side heads. This was the reason I had to restart. Wish me luck 🤞🏼
#wip #sculpture
A wip of a 4 headed wolf. So far I've made the two center heads minus the ears. I'm modifying a dog statue I thrifted, some beads for eyes, wire & aluminum foil for structure, and polymer clay for sculpting.

Fuck 🖕 Ai
An old sketch page from my first sketch book from December 2011. The night I got this and a pack colored pencils, I couldn't sleep, so I tried drawing different characters from anime. I drew Pikachu, a character from Bleach and various versions of hamtaro. All of which were drawn while looking at references. I was 16yrs old. A marker illustration I made this past October featuring various characters from my yearly Winston and Friends art challenge as witches and cultists. Many of these characters have appeared in the coloring book I made a few years ago and are the focus of my upcoming children's book series Winston & Friends. It's been 14yrs since I started drawing, I was 16 when I started and I'm 30 now. 14yrs of practice and passion, and I'm only going to get better and better.

Going to start working on a new project for my hubby. Also for me since it's technically going to be my dnd character's pet wolf but upgraded.
I don't sculpt much, so I'm going to modify this dog statue I thrifted awhile back. I've already broke the head off and will start adding new heads soon
#WIP
A thrift dalmatian statue that will be used as the base for a four head dog statue. A sketch of the idea can be seen next to it. A rough pen sketch of the four headed wolf with a little pyramid floating above her head. The dalmatian statue after I broke its head off. I'll be keeping the head in my junk drawer should I ever find a use for it. The original mini I used for my character's pet, her name is Midnight. I'll be using this as reference, along with photos of wolves.

I think I may have found a way to get Mushroom King snowglobes, but it'll be awhile as I need to save up a hefty sum to do it and sadly I'm still in need of some essential items.
If I were to make it happen, how many of you would be interested?

Here's some more photos including the photos that inspired the drawing. Remember you can color this drawing too, link below 👇

Ssstan the snake tastes Bobbi the pig's delectable brew, beneath the light of the full moon. Mal the duck can be seen lit from behind terrified by a scary story. Winston can be seen flying on his witches broom waving to his on looking friends. The twin bears Melissa and Arthur can be seen talking about the wonderful site before them. The original Witchy Winston marker drawing from 2020 that inspired Witchy Winston & Friends. A photo of my dog interacting with my skeletal animal decorations. This was one of the inspirations for Witchy Winston and Friends.

I told you all I'd share the scanned version and on top of that I give you close ups.

After working my butt of for a month I present to you Witchy Winston & Friends! This marker drawing features Winston, Ssstan, Mal, MeiMei, Venessa, Dave, the twins Malissa & Arthur, and several new characters like Simone the raven, Bobbi the pig, Ozzie the pup & his brother Frankie the cat. All of which are dressed up as witches/cultists. This drawing was actually inspired by combination of my Halloween decorations and an old witch drawing I made of Winston years ago. Honestly this drawing turned out far better than I could have hoped. Especially considering I was so afraid of messing it up. A close up of Mal the duck being told a scary story by Ozzie the pup, as Frankie the cat sneaks up from behind. Vanessa the gecko jumps up in shock and aww upon witnessing something she thought was impossible. Beside her MeiMei crouches behind the brush wondering what's going on before her. Next to her Dave the fox takes in a mouth watering whiff of something delicious smelling. Simone the raven, broom in hand, points up to the sky in amazement

I did it! I finished the Witchy Winston and Friends drawing. I still need to scan it into my computer, but here are two photos one in low light and one with the lamps shining on it. I love this piece so much it looks like its actually glowing!

Back to working on this piece. Loving this cauldron so far! Not sure about the smoke though but I think I make it better later. My next step is to color Ssstan and Bobbi.

A wip of my Witchy Winston drawing. So far I've finished the cauldron and the fire that burns beneath it. A lovely stew can be seen cooking inside as smoke billows around Ssstan the snake and Bobbi the pig who are the cooks of this delicious food.

A wip of my Witchy Winston and Friends drawing. I've started laying out basic lighting with markers. I'm trying to create a glow effect with the fire as the brightest source of light and the moonlight as a secondary base color. I'm using alcohol markers to color.
