A colourful artwork with a ducky throwing a frog happily up while floating along a pond filled with pink lily flowers. Floris the Frog reading a book in his bed with a quilted plaid and a frog tea pot on it. Essek Thelyss from Critical Role but reimagined as a frog (or a Grung if you wanna go D&D TTRPG specific). He's floating while casting a Dunemancy spell inbetween his hands. Circe, Greek Mythology, the first witch, walking through her forest amongst two hogs, two wolves and a lion. She looks to the viewer from a side eye as if you are suddenly spotted. Inspired by Circe by Madeline Miller

I wanted to make some Mighty Nein in frogs but deadlines and busy times prevented me from getting to it.

I'll accept Go Frog Yourself commissions at this weekend's Dutch Comic Con so here's a small hope someone commissions me for a fan character instead of themselves

I will probably not restock them at all, seeing I'd like to make a new t-shirt design with a fuller illustration on it.

Northern glass frog (Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni) is one of those frogs that has a semi see-through stomach. The live in Central and South-America.

This enamel pin has a stained glass effect which makes it semi see-through! #enamelpin #frog #glassfrog

Back again with ‘haven’t made art for myself in a while now’, sadly. Been wrapping up the enamel pin files and prepping for Dutch Comic Con.

But I wanna draw and work on the wips of Alchemised, Greenteeth and The Knight and the Moth…

NO! My Intuos 4 is my saviour with my new Mac Mini 4

I’m not getting the Wacom Cintiq 2016 to work and my funds for a new screen tablet is €0 so I rememberd my trusty Intuos and made it work 😭

Hate how wasteful tech is within 10 years! 😫

Shes holding up a red card in her hands that seems to be flowing red and casting light and shadows on her face. long vertical illustration of a dark haired woman looking straight to the viewer, this time however her eyes are not brown but yellow. her dark brown hair is in a messy braid over her chest and she's wearing a red frilly dress, inspired by 1880's dresses.

illustration of two cute brown bears holding hands under a colorful quilt. the quilt is patterned in different colored squares inspired by folk art and mary blair. the bears rest their heads against pillows and are blushing. the style is very flat so it makes you wonder where the bears bodies went. underneath the illustration is the text "i will keep you warm"
