Started a temperature blanket for my daughter's first year (2024). I planned and started it last year and finally been able to make some real progress on it recently. 10 days completed and attached! Center color is lows, middle color is highs and I just went with a neutral white border :)
10 crocheted granny squares in the "nursery" style. The colors are a mix of teal, seafoam, and lavender, with white fuzzy borders on each square.

Traditional acrylic painting I made as a birthday surprise! The recipient hasn’t received it yet (but there’s no possible way they are here so posting anyway)

I’m SO happy with how it came out 🥰 I’m def painting more soon!

[Archive] Made this as a fursuit reference back when I worked with fur more. Might be fun to draw more of them. :)

A reference image of a mammalian anthro with small pointed ears and a short round snout. The main body color is a bright purple. The arms, legs, and face have bright green on them. The belly is white and the bottom is black. The tail has a horizontal color split where the top is purple with 2 green stripes near the end and the bottom is white with 2 black stripes near the end. The character has a black mohawk that goes down the back like a mane. There is a detail image of a bone-like mask the character typically wears over the top of their head/face, with an opening for their mane and two spiked projections that look like horns pointing to the rear. The character does not have a name or age and they are gender neutral.

Learning how to knit!! I already crochet, just hoping to expand the types of things I can create.

Super uneven but this is my first time ever even trying so I’m pretty proud! 🥹

Friends, this is why you should put your bird's food in a secure container.

Comet decided he wanted what was in the bag instead of his bowl.

A lineless commission I did for someone on FA many years ago. 2015ish? idk, most of my art is from 2014-2016.

Considering doing these again, they were really fun.

Icon of Avrin, my original sona. A sloth/mountain cat hybrid. I kind of miss drawing her, so you might see more of her upcoming!

though, she'll be on my NSFW account @naughtybeetle.bsky.social more often than not (she acts shy but is a proud slut ;3 )

Not sure how he'd stay aloft but we'll just assume it's fairy magic.

I was challenged to combine a fly and a turtle somehow. Still quite pleased with how this came out
A create with the body shape, shell, and head shape of a turtle, with the eyes and wings of a fly. It has 6 dark hairy legs that are shaped like a turtle's legs and the shell is a metallic blue-green, reminiscent of the carapace of a fly.

Everyone meet Mica! Baby Betta splendens 💙

It’s so hard to capture his color, he has such beautiful jewel tones that shimmer and change with the light

*minor adjustments were made to photos for clarity and vibrancy

This is Jimmy Jammy the frog folk druid, with his traveling companion Burt. He knows Burt is a tortoise but calls him Burt the Turt anyway.

Man I miss D&D.
