I've got an outline and 13 pages sketched, but have to focus on commissioned work for a bit!

If you like what I do, want to see ALL of my art, and want to help make more personal projects like this possible, I'd deeply appreciate if you peeped my Patreon 💙

Dal and Essyx usually avoid taking the law into their own claws (unless they're REALLY hungry...)

Don't break. Don't break. Don't break.
A storm whips through the forest as a ferret stalks a group of little humans across a log bridging a ravine. The ferret grins toothily, the men are terrified but resolute.

Wanna catch some mice? Set some bait...
Three little humans find a bunch of fruit and nuts *conveniently* resting on a stump. The men inspect the suspicious bounty, and don't notice a curious wolf sneaking up behind them.

Turns out not every herbivore is a friend, and piling food in the middle of a clearing isn't the best idea...
A bunny stands in the middle of tiny village in a clearing. The rabbit dangles a little human high above the ground with one hand, and holds the settlement's harvest in the other.

They're *probably* too small to be worth catching... right?

"So we're at sea, sticking each other like civilized folk, when this big storm comes out of nowhere! We got all jumbled up and ran aground—except it wasn't exactly 'ground' we'd run onto..."
Two naval soldiers are about to resume killing each other among a tangle of beached ships. One motions to the giant river otter hefting a warship off of its back. Other troops scramble in a panic, the otter looks perplexed and irritated at having his nap interrupted.

"Nah, wolves don't care much for mice. But foxes..."

Dogs really can sleep anywhere...

(Comm for @tempo-darcanine.bsky.social )

There's something new in every canyon, crease, and crevasse~

(Comm for @tempo-arcanine.bsky.social )

Why work in mysterious ways when you can be in all of your temples before breakfast?

(Comm for @grahckheuhl.bsky.social )
Kukulkan, a colossal naga deity, wakes. His massive coils are sprawled over several mountain towns built around temples dedicated to him.

Why can't explosive growth spurts ever happen in an open field or something?

(Comm for @kurrikage.me)
A giant bat (Xander), groggily regains his senses after growing massive. His enlarged sheath rests on a debris-strewn street.

It's hard to fly those concrete skies
Essyx kicks off of a building to make a tight turn, crumpling the facade and fire escape Essyx lands on a building's rooftop. He's startled when it partially collapses under his weight.

The skies are way safer with Yhann on the wing!

(Comm for @artherion.bsky.social)
A giant dragon, Yhann, comes to the aid of a zepplin as its engines fail, scooping it up in his foreclaws and flying the stricken vessel to safety.
