Animals prepare in ways that teach us persistence—whether nesting or molting. That awareness can shape everything from anatomy studies to character design!

While pets grow thicker coats, I’m layering up for the holiday markets! It’s fascinating how nature’s prep mirrors an artist’s :)

Ever notice how animals gather before winter?

That instinct for connection is exactly what I try to paint into cozy scenes.

Accepting commissions at the moment. Missed a couple weekends in a row of my weekly market and could really use a boost.

Feel free to DM, comment or email if you’re interested and if not, likes n shares help a ton!

How to get different expression with "dog eyebrows" (or eye dots, as I call em)- there's a lot of expressiveness that you can achieve, while still keeping a fair bit of realism!

From the grumpiest cat to the goofiest pup, I've drawn them all at my market booth! These 'Tails from Saturday Market' are why I love my job. Want your pet to be part of the story?

Oh, probably Rox would teach Aspa to be just a little sweeter and gentler. When pushed to her limit (or hunting), Rox can get pretty fierce, but it takes a LOOOOT. She’d rather let Aspa do it haha 😁

Who’s your favorite type of animal companion? The cheerful one (Rioxia), the perfectionist (Morph), the sulker (Qui) or the moody one (Aspa)? Tell me below! It helps me as I start pre-production on Volume 2!
October 15, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Love Morgh the eagle or Aspa the moody mare? My Patreon tiers offer exclusive character art and insights from The Golden Troupe. Which of the four leads is your favorite?

Tried flattening it last night after the paper bowed with the initial wash (pictured below) and happy to announce it went really well! It’s still a tiny bit wrinkly, but not bad at all.

Definitely came out pretty good for having no idea how to do this, haha!

I have to go to my part time job today to pay the bills, but all I want to do is stay home and work on this painting!

It’s my first time painting a watercolour this size (as a commission no less, feet first for me), but I’m having a ton of fun with it so far.

Next step are the details!

Had a blast at the Sat Market! A huge thank you to every pet (and their human) who let me see all their adorable fuzzy faces. You make my job the best. Commissions are open!

How to show the difference between a wild and domestic horse in your art!

Nothing beats seeing a client's face light up when they see their pet's personality captured on paper. Ready to see yours? My commission slots are open! Link in bio to learn more.
