Decided to whip up a few more adopts before going back to working on pixel icons! Since there's a fair amount, I'm gonna link each one's Ko-Fi page with their corresponding number in the comments this time around.

So, I took a quick break from pixels to get some adopts whipped up! They're already posted on Toyhouse as well and can be purchased on Ko-Fi. Links will be in the comments to more easily show which one goes to which adopt.

Got a bit sick while working on this batch of icons, but I'm slowly getting them all worked on, at least! As per usual, the animated versions will be in the comments.

Got a bit busy, but I did manage to whip up a couple of Pokémon adopts in my downtime! As usual, both are available on Ko-Fi.

Working on making new character icons for Toyhou.se! I decided to go with some animated pixel art to get some practice in for both. As usual, the animated versions will be in the comments.

Just to feel like I'm not going "Oops, all adopts" with posts since I'm kinda throwing myself into making those, I figured I'd post this character icon I made for myself. Animated version is in the comments!

(repost b/c upscaling made it look bad)

Been playing the Digimon Story Time Strangers demo and had the idea for these two adoptables pop into my mind. Both are available on Ko-Fi for $10 USD!

Hey, everyone! Hiatus took a bit longer than what I had originally planned, especially with working on the VODs. Speaking of which, I've got the majority of said VODs uploaded to Youtube. The editing might not be the best since it's just me, but the majority of the background sounds should* be gone.

Just so I can have this in it's in a pinned post, I'll be taking a short art break to recover from Art Fight (about a week at most, I'll still try to be active here). During that time, I'll be working on editing VODs to add in background music as well as a possible schedule for future streams.

And this one gets a seperate post for some very mild body horror (just enough to warrant some filtering on the character's AF page, so I'm applying that rule here as well, just to be safe). Animated verison is in the comments!

Last piece I did for my #ArtFight streams! I'll be taking a mini art hiatus after the event is over just to recover from it and to edit VODS for Youtube (adding in BG music), but I should be back to doing art after a week.

Six and a half hours on stream earlier and I'm just now getting this done after about 12 hours grand total because I didn't feel like learning the parallax plug-in on the fly, lmao. Animated version in the comments.
