I just realized the number is higher than that. So of course I immediately beelined for the faun. 😔

Seriously considering putting my Etsy shops on indefinite hiatus b/c everything is so stressful and my margins have become laughable between fees and increasing shipping/materials costs.
Holiday shipping rates are here, and this is now the single cheapest price I can ship to California, for example.
Screenshot of the shipping label purchase screen on the Etsy seller platform showing the price as $5.15, which is 39% off the retail cost of $8.40.

Yeehawgust Day 8: 8 Seconds in the Saddle

Well I'm not sure on the math, but even if the rider didn't make it to 8 seconds on Mudsdale, they traveled a good 20 feet and have 0 idea where the saddle landed. 😔

#pokemon #ポケモン #yeehawgust #acrylicmarker
Acrylic marker illustration of the Pokemon Mudsdale, a black orange and brown horse with the build of a Clydesdale. It's rearing back on its hind legs. In the background, there is a field of grass, mountains, and a blue sky. Plus at a distance the silhouette of a fallen rider is on the ground. The illustration spans two pages of the sketchbook and some of the Posca and Enmy markers used are placed beside it.

Yeehawgust Day 6 (All Hat, No Cattle) and Day 7 (Blue Moon)

A farmer kept his herd in the field before Honchkrow and his gang moved in, and they seem tough in numbers... but in reality they're all squawk and no action.

#pokemon #ポケモン #yeehawgust #acrylicmarker
Photograph of an acrylic marker illustration in a small sketchbook, featuring three Murkrow and a Honchkrow perched on a fence in a field of golden wheat. Two of the Murkrow are squabbling with each other, and Honchkrow seems to be consoling another. In the background, 3 Murkrow fly silhouetted against a sky with a bright blue moon.

Yeehawgust Day 5: Boot Scootin' Boogie

I can't think of a Pokemon that likes to boogie more, and I'm sure Ludicolo would appreciate some new dancin' shoes.

Acrylic marker illustration of the Pokemon Ludicolo, which is a weird platypus slash palm tree slash lily pad creature that likes to dance. It is wearing a little pair of cowboy boots, and text on the image reads "Boot Scootin' Boogie".

Yeehawgust Day 4: Longhorn

Got a little carried away with this one I think because I was just delighted for an excuse to draw my favorite bug, Heracross! He's just a (big) little guy, collecting some cactus fruit with the help of his long horn.
#pokemonfanart #ポケモン #enmy #yeehawgust #yeehawgust2025
Acrylic marker illustration in a small sketchbook spanning two pages. It features the large blue beetle Pokemon, Heracross, who is using its long rhinoceros beetle like horn to help pick and collect bright pink cactus fruits from a tall cactus it can't quite reach.

#Yeehawgust Day 3: Horsin' Around

If I had a nickel for every time I missed catching a shiny Ponyta in the games, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's sad that it happened twice.

Trying out some new markers because I'd seen a few artists using them. #pokemonfanart #ポケモン #enmy
Acrylic marker illustration of a shiny ponyta, a horse like pokemon with a blue firey mane and tale. It is leaping forward on a background of two different shades of pink, with the text "Horsin' Around" in white.

#Yeehawgust Day 2: Running with the Wolves

Here's one of my favorite Pokemon hounds, though the list is actually pretty long because there are a lotta good pups it turns out.

I've had this cute little sketchbook I got from @crowlines.net sitting around for a while since I don't really do traditional work anymore. What better time to use it than for @yeehawgust.bsky.social though?

#Yeehawgust Day 1: Stars of the Midnight Range

Continuing my trend of drawing some of my fav little guys, this time with acrylic paint markers, which is a medium I confess I'm not very familiar with... yet!
Acrylic paint marker drawing of the ferret like Pokemon Furret and Sentret, who are in tall green grass looking up at a purple sky filled with yellow stars. There are cliffs in the distance.

4 favs, no starters!

Even without the starters, such a difficult choice.
Pokemon trading card of Quagsire. The blue amphibious pokemon sits in a fountain with a vacant expression. Pokemon card of Wooloo. The cheerful sheep-like pokemon frolics in a field of flowers. Pokemon trading card of Team Rocket’s Meowth. The cheerful but mischievous Pokemon brandishes its sharp little claws. Pokemon card of Gogoat. The goat-like grass pokemon looks off into a distant landscape from its perch on top a cliff.

I don't think I've had a file-breaking program error since 2022 and at least I've got an older version from two days ago, but man digital art will break on you at the *least* convenient moment. OTL

FWA was super fun despite the uhhh…. organizational issues.
Forgot how much I missed this fandom and how creative, diverse and accepting it is.

Hey, I’m Hoff! 👋
I love Pokemon but tend to draw them the most during #Yeehawgust, a western-themed daily art prompt month.
Digital painting of the round sheep-like Pokemon Wooloo frolicking in a field. In the distance, there is a herd of other Wooloo and further back are snow-capped mountains beneath a bright blue sky. In the foreground, Wooloo bounds through a green field with red flowers. Digital painting of the Pokemon Charmander, an orange lizard with fire at the end of its tail. Charmander is cozily curled up to sleep inside a hollowed out barrel cactus, its flame tail lighting the interior, the cozy glow spilling from the cactus’s entrance. Outside the cactus is a deep blue desert night with stars. Digital illustration of the Pokemon Sandshrew, a yellow shrew-like creature, who sits with a berry in hand as it looks out at the great expanse of desert beyond his perch. Stormclouds roll over the desert plain in the distance. Digital painting of the black, crow-like Pokemon Murkrow. it clutches a nugget of gold or pyrite in its beak as it perches in front of its hoard of treasures stashed inside a hole in a cactus. the green of the cactus stands out against a background of a red, orange and yellow sunset.

I've never played the original, so I am genuinely delighted to find that despite the shiny new graphics, it's still as Todd intended.

I wanted to make this Pokelid for myself, because Venusaur is my true OG (Original Grass-type), but I don’t have a good place for an ornament right now… so I made it into a magnet!
(Made from laser-cut basswood & acrylic paint.)

Experimenting with cork coasters. Very unlikely to offer them in my shop any time soon if ever, but I will be sending them out as bonuses with particularly large orders. :]

Hey folks! If you're looking for a little way to support a trans person right now, might I recommend my pride wares?

I've got tons of different custom name/pronoun button design styles, plus flag & pronoun buttons. For bulk or pride org discounts just send a message!
tigerseyeadventureco.etsy.com
A selection of name and pronoun buttons that feature space backgrounds. A selection of name and pronoun buttons that feature different pride flag designs in a painted style. A set of 4 different buttons that feature the text "Protect trans kids" in different styles. A set of 4 dinosaur buttons with a trans theme. The first one is a T-rex with trans flag colors, the next is an asteroid with the text "Make Transphobia Extinct", a pachycephalosaurus with the text "don't be boneheaded, respect my pronouns!" and a raptor with the text "DOWN WITH CIS!" Fun fact: these have been a best seller for years, and I'm glad that these drawings I made in 2015 have lived on so long.
