A lot of the time artists only post their polished drawings and save the messy sketches for themselves. Not everything I draw is refined or looks good. Sometimes I struggle with imposter syndrome because I feel like most of what I draw is garbage and everyone else’s art is peak. That’s okay!
My oc Fleck, sketched on a post-it note wearing a xenomorph costume. A sketch page from work. A large headshot of Chives in the corner, some key frames thumbnails of Hemlock walking, a dragon, and a mlp doodle my coworker made. There are other doodles on the back of that slug alien I drew. Some really shitty centaur alien thumbnails I drew with my finger late at night on my phone. Another post it note doodle. Farras in a different alien form, lacking his normal fox features.

A gooby beaked slug alien design I made based on some old concept sketches by my friend Lt. Fiasco for the KPP universe. Bro is unbothered. #anthro #creatureart #characterdesign #oc #alien #anthroart #scifi #digitalart #sketch #clipstudio

We watched John Carpenter’s The Thing during Halloween, so I was inspired to draw Farras as the Thing. This was inspired by another person’s work I saw but I can’t find the post now. #thething #oc #alien #anthro #furry #digitalart #characterdesign
A cocky anthro fox alien with the side of his face splitting off with extra teeth.

The first drawing I made on my new ipad from a month or so ago. I don’t really like how this turned out but the point of it was to learn the ipad so! Success. I use it all the time now. They’re a boyband #furryart #anthroart #characterdesign #oc

I’m mostly known by Chives, the mc of the KPP, as they’ve represented me for over 9 years! But I needed a sona without lore, so meet Hemlock! They’re a stag with a broken ear. I wanted a serious and a goober design for him. #fursona #anthro #furryart #oc #deer #anthroart #digitalart #characterdesign
Two designs for Hemlock. On the left is a more serious anthro design. On the right is a more cartoony, goober design. Both are the same character. A polished headshot of goober Hemlock. A post-it note sketch of anthro Hemlock. This was the first design I came up with. He has a stalk of wheat in his mouth. A traditional sketch of anthro Hemlock. A 3/4 and front facing view of their head. I’ll make an outfit design for him someday.

A rare traditional drawing! Tyzlec the most chill guy in Beyond the Blue, my friend @fruitloopy.bsky.social’s universe #oc #characterdesign #furry #anthro #ink
An anthro sable antelope like creature with a skull face, wings and a pincer tail. Drawn with alcohol markers and ink on paper.

I still haven’t seen the movie yet, but I really liked the song Golden from KPDH. It definitely gives Chives vibes so I just HAD to draw them singing. #golden #kpdh #kpopdemonhunters #oc #characterdesign #digitalart #anthro #scalie #furryart #scifi #sona

Cosplay is a type of art! We went as faeries to the Renaissance Festival this year! I’m on the left in both photos. #cosplay #fantasy #renfair #renaissancefestival

An attack on Aer! Owned by my fellow 80s fan @gvse1314.bsky.social I think I overdid the retro effects on this a little but I’m still really happy with this. #artfight #artfight2025 #digitalart #dragon #anthro #scalie

We’ve made it to Art Fight 2025! This is Smokey, a tf2 engie oc belonging to @platysaur_ on Instagram!! They attacked me last year, and I had to have my revenge. I’ve been thinking about Smokey for a year. Love this guy <3 #digitalart #artfight #artfight2025

This is what Oliver usually looks like. Featuring his adopted daughter Minel. I rushed this reference for Art Fight this year but I still like it!! Nothing bad has ever happened to either of them and they are so okay :) Sylvanborough Manor #oc #characterdesign #humanoc #fantasy #refsheet #digitalart
Two people: Oliver Quentin (left): a tall, lanky brit in his mid 50s, with a cane and suit. The right side of his face is necrotized, and he has an open eye socket where his eye should be. Minel McCreed (right): a short blonde 8 year-old girl with a purple skirt and velveteen plush rabbit.

A ref sheet for Chives Velho, the eccentric Reptilon Director of the Kepple Pass Pub! They love human culture. After defying the Federation, they created the KPP: a nightclub that doubles as a refugee shelter for spacers fleeing the war. They’re kind and goofy, but serious when needed. #digitalart
A sci-fi reference sheet of a lime green anthro reptile alien with a purple suit and cosmic scythe. There is a 3/4 front and back view, with several alt clothing designs, and a view that shows their body without clothes. A close up of Chives’ face. A goober Chives emoji for the KPP discord server. A 5-point Chives turnaround I did in 2022. I remember being really proud of this back then. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.

A tattoo design for myself. Needs tweaked a little bit I like it. #dragon #tattoo #digitalart #oc #anthro #characterdesign
A black silhouette of a dragon with four wings. The same dragon but with a rainbow gradient on the wings. An alt design of the rainbow wings.

A wip that I haven’t finished. I’ll revisit this when I fix the perspective lol. This is Aurora Pandora, the main villain of the KPP. She wants the scythe Chives has because its power will let her end all reality. The Federation is dangerous, but they pale in comparison to her. #oc #digitalart
A digital sketch of an anthro lizard sprinting away from a looming alien villain with spider-like blade arms, reaching for lizard.

Aikovius the abrukho, a side character that appears in Village Idiots. They’re based on a brown trout! I really enjoy fishing, and brown trout are one of my favorite fish to catch. The green bg was the preliminary design, which I didn’t like so I redid it. #oc #digitalart #anthro #scalie #furry
A brown and orange spotted naga-esque, snake anthro with a cobra hood and white-and-sunset-orange feathers. A worse version of the first photo, just more rough.

A chart showcasing the various uniforms of the Galactic Federation (KPP). The military uniforms are organized by color. Most Yellow Rank (Recruits) don’t survive battle. Nobody wants to be Yellow Rank. The science division is a lot safer, but you’re never truly safe in the Federation…
A chart showcasing different uniforms and emblems of the Galactic Federation. Military ranks are organized my color starting from gray (rankless) to Yellow (recruit) all the way to Green (general). There is also the gold variant for the Special Officer branch. The line below has the uniforms and emblems of the science division. They are all gray.

A while ago, my best friend Lt. Fiasco (discord) and I drew each other as cats. Many years ago we became friends because of Warrior Cat art. I was inspired to learn how to draw after finding her work on Quotev. The rest is history! That was about 10 years ago! I hope you can tell who is who! <3
A brown tabby cat. Thin and scrappy with a mischievous expression. My art. A short yellow and white cat. Watercolor on paper. Lt. Fiasco’s art. Myself (Left) and Fiasco (Right) at the Carnegie Museum standing in front of a mammoth skeleton. The same as the last photo, just worse

Another Arcane Au design, this time of Farras. I don’t remember if I’ve posted him here before. But basically a “What if he was actually competent”.
