I've been working on a batch of commissions all day long, but this end of day warmdown sparked joy like I haven't felt about a drawing in a while.

Why is it that the zero effort drawings look so good?!! Or drawings on lined paper?!! Aaaaa!

🤣🤣🤣

I opened fanart requests on DA, and I got not 1, not 2, but THREE requests for Duchess and 1 for Marie. Is Aristocats having a moment?!!

I drew Fox and Bold for @effrasorbus.bsky.social !

I watched Animals of Farthing Wood for the first time in 2025, and WOW, what a dramatic series!

I was locked into animated content when I was growing up, but I never heard of this one. Maybe it didn't air in USA?

I drew Francis from the obscure, wild 90s film Felidae. I love how this came out though, and that's definitely berry juice.

In anticipation of Silksong's release, I did a full replay on Hollow Knight, and then made an oc! If I had a character in that universe, it would be a Carpenter Bee!

The Praying Mantis is my OLD fanart (2019)

#teamcherry #silksong #characterdesign #art #hollowknight #insects #drawing
Fanart of an original character created for the Hollowknight / Silksong Universe. The drawing is an anthro Xylocopa violacea (purple carpenter bee) drawn in the style of Hollow Knight, a video game made by Team Cherry. Fanart of Hollowknight - Original character exploration - quick studies of different character poses of the anthro carpenter bee. Reasons why I would be a carpenter bee as a character in the Hollow Knight universe. There is an image of a purple carpenter bee and text about it. A cleaned up version of the text reads: The reasons why: -They are clumsy -Despite their size, they are 90% bluff -They are known to bite rather than sting -I am actually afraid of them in real life -They just want to hide in holes -They have cute little sweaters -They have chunky legs -They come in the color purple Exploratory sketches and references for an original character created for the Hollowknight / Silksong Universe. The references include images of carpenter bees, as well as official character designs from the original Hollow Knight game by Team Cherry. Old (2019) fanart of an original character created for the Hollowknight / Silksong Universe. The drawing is an anthro praying mantis with a torn green cape drawn in the style of Hollow Knight, a video game made by Team Cherry.

Some wolf practice! I will be working on a short film the next few months, and I'll need to animate a few wolves in attack mode. I gotta learn how these teeth work!

I wasn't expecting such a rise out of my coyote drawings from yesterday. So here's more coyotes (and wolves) from yesterday's practice. They were not given the same color treatment, but were crucial in my learning curve nonetheless!

I am currently storyboarding a sequence involving a Coyote. When I was started boarding, I realized I am NOT good at drawing coyotes.

I made an Ikran / Flying Banshee OC! They're those dragon thingies from James Cameron's AVATAR films.

I'm not sure if they come in purple, but mine needs to.

I can only imagine the pitch for Spaceman:

"Adam Sandler receives unsolicited therapy from a giant spider while in space."

I saw this movie today, and was totally thrown off guard by how good it was. I couldn't get this thought out of my head, so I drew it.

😂😂😂

that is the ONLY one that I could think of that might come close. Actually, yeah! Body count may be just as high in Atlantis, considering there was a crew of 100s and they all die in that sub.....

Some quickstudies of Kron, the underrated antagonist from the underrated Disney film "Dinosaur" from the year 2000.

I -think- that "Dinosaur" may be the most violent animated film that Disney has in their lineup. Is there another one I'm missing?!

Time to tell y'all about Brittany. She is my future guard goose, and today marks the first day that I do fanart of her. She WILL exist.

I can't wait to give her bonnets and put her in baskets. I suspect it'll go as predicted.
