Werewolf Wednesday again. The flowers: Hemlock, Belladonna, and poppies, are some of the purported toxic/hallucinogenic herbs to rub all over yourself as a salve to transform. So get on that. It’s just about time.
Digital illustration of a chubby werewolf with four sets of breasts standing facing the viewer. Behind them is an arch with poppies, wolf’s bane and hemlock. Above them are the phases of the moon.

Per encouragement from friends and loved ones, we’ve set up a fundraiser to try and replace the car. Thanks to folks who have donated already, it’s all going to the same place! We absolutely appreciate your love and support.

Image of my werewolf/ram fursona and spouse’s bear/bull fursona crying and looking down with their tongues out in front of a broken 2013 Honda Fit. There’s a wood plank that has gone through the front and an oil leak coming from it. The headlights have X’s on them. There is a tiny ghost/angel 2013 Honda Fit spurting oil and ascending to what we can only assume is a heaven of some kind.

Remembered this older The Last Unicorn fanart I did from a long while ago. Inked traditionally and colored digitally. I think it was one of the first times I tried to digitally paint something. I wanna say it's from 2017? or earlier.
Traditionally drawn, digitally painted fanart of The Last Unicorn. The unicorn has no pupils, a long silver beard, a mane, and a long tail that ends with silver hair. The unicorn is running towards the left of the piece with water underneath it. The Red bull is facing towards the unicorn with mouth open and drool dripping from its mouth. Its horns are cracked with lava and dripping lava at the tips. The bull has flames protruding from its body, with smoke in the background.

Messy WIP of a long overdue commission I’m finishing up! It’s an 11” x 14”, mostly gouache, and I’m about to add a bunch more flowers to it. Excited to get it done for a friend!!
Slender pink maned, brown unicorn leaning down over a mossy/grassy floor with psychedelic mushrooms growing out from it. Mushrooms are at the bottom of the frame. In the background are green bushes and plants, and behind that is a night sky with pine trees looming in the distance. There is a napkin with paint brushes obscuring some of the unicorn. Gold foil is in a rectangle around the piece and as a halo behind the unicorn’s head.

It is international wolf day?? Here are some wolves.
Grey wolf staring forward with mouth open and roses growing out of it. The left eye is gone and has roses growing out of it, the stems wrapping around like a crown around the head. There is blood coming from the mouth, eyes, and places where the thorns of the roses are touching the skin. The ears of the wolf are flattened to the sides of the head. There is a wreath of 2 intertwining rose stems forming a circle behind the wolf. The piece has a rectangular frame with the word "PERTINACETUM" on the bottom. There is a wolf reared up and snarling toward a skeleton wolf snarling back, both have golden circular halos around them. Behind the wolf on top are almond blossom flowers and branches. Behind the skeleton wolf are corpse eater mushrooms and bones. Two wolves facing each other other. On the left is a wolf skull and neck bones with a black silhouette of the wolf around it, and on the right is a mirror image of the wolf, snarling but not a skeleton. There is hemlock growing all around their heads. There is a gold halo behind each of them. Headshots of two wolves leaning into each other. The black wolf on the right is biting into a human heart that’s bleeding with a bit of a snarl, and the white wolf on the left is licking the heart with their tongue. Both wolves are looking towards the viewer.
