digital art by RL; three balloons together on a canvas. The balloons are pink, green and blue. They were rendered separately but cropping them was impossible so I layered them on top of each other.

stream complete~! today i drew a bunch of plants and flowers and also one very dapper man!

see y'all Sunday!
Digital Art by RL; A black and white pencil and lasso-fill drawing of Reigen (he/they; horned hedgehog) wearing a floral-print vest and a pinstripe shirt. He's holding a cigarette that is grandma-ashing to the nines and is looking right through it, probably because he's disassociated as hell. He'll notice when the cherry hits his fingers, probably.

it's been pretty rough not gonna lie
doodle by RL; Lowell (it/they/he) stands stark at attention, its one-eye wide. They are developing an idea while stating how excited they are to have an idea, considering their head has been blank for several weeks now for multiple complicated reasons. Lowell Thinking: *DEVELOPS A FIXATION* Lowell Speaking: Oh thank goodness I thought I had gone dead inside again

stream successful! today we had no idea what we were doing and then suddenly we had aurelius in a dress

(i couldn't fuckin get my pens feeling right so we just stuck w/ binary and lasso tool today)
Digital Art by RL; Aurelius, a blue-colored long-eared creature (any/all) looks to the left. They are facing away from the viewer, showing off their back and mane of quills. They are outlined and highlighted in orange. They are wearing a dress with a pleated back. (The bottom is pleated too, but this isn't done yet, so you just gotta imagine it, sorry.) Around them are oranges and pinks, a bit like a sunset / sunrise.

stream over! today i did more rust shaking and pulled this out of storage to finish it.

(i was very blank-brained today and chat was very kind. ;w; thank you. aaa)
digital art by RL; Aurelius (any/all; blue anthro with a lot of ears and quills) looks offscreen to the left with a large, sneering grin on her face. She's gently backlit in white with a purple/orange overlay. She's wearing a white flatcap and a brown tank top with a fern/rib pattern. Her ears are all over the place, making it difficult to determine what is quill and what is hair and what can hear you talking shit.

hear them on the hilltop laughing
digital doodle by RL; a single-stroke background of a bridge, a river, a bank, and some hilly mountains. aurelius, scribbled in, sits atop the bridge and stares up at birds flying across the landscape. the words "cursing every bird in the air" is in the upper right, taken from the song 'godless brother in love' by iron & wine.

good morning we're resuming mspaint dailies
digital doodle by RL; Aurelius, a jackalope thing, with his hair in his face hiding his eyes. he looks like he just woke up and you're standing between him and the fridge for some goddamn reason. (it's drawn in light blue binary pen.)

stream over, today we admired a criminal!!
Art by RL; Ratt, a brown anthro rat, stands in the foreground half-dressed in wedding attire, pulling out a gun and holding it up to the viewer. She's grinning. In the background, Aurelius, a blue anthro hedgebeast, stands at the altar and blushes, watching her wife stick up the wedding party. RAT: thanks for coming to my wedding now give me all your goddamn money AURELIUS: oh,

feeling it, but looking up
digital art by RL; in a sketchy, notebook-doodle style, Reigen stands with his arms awkwardly swung to one side as he looks skyward. His eyes are obscured by a shadow. There's thick black stitching on the background that follows him into the composition; the stitch-line follows Reigen up through his body and across his face. He has two wings detached from his body with big 'X's separating them from his shoulders.

stream concluded! today we attacked Reigen. like from start to finish.
digital art; Reigen with a shirt that says 'BODY BY SONIC THE RESTAURANT' looking off to the side and sweating. he appears to be more rotund than usual. it's probably nothing.

go to bed go to bed go to bed go to bed gO TO BED GO TO BED GO TO BED--
digital doodle of a pair of rubberized yellow and black pants. RL (the artist) should have gone to bed an hour ago. the pants are highlighted in white and shadowed in red/orange.

like this is the 'we have the pants at home' version of the pants

i think what i've got in mind is a fusion of pant and boot and my brain is boiling over trying to make those words mean what i think they mean
a digital doodle of pants + shoes. the pants are very baggy, have a lot of pockets, and merge with the shoes around the ankle. kind of. i'm working on it and it's not what i want yet. :( the shoes have an x-shaped pressure release on the inner heel. for reasons.

digital art of Kab, a spiked lizard anthro, holding a weapon off-screen and glaring down at the viewer. the piece is intentionally torched with a posterization filter to push the colors, which are a harsh red, purple and yellow.

today chat made me laugh a lot!! (and also i played with krita!!)

see y'all friday!!
digital doodle; Kab (any/all) jumps into Rosetta's (they/she) arms. Kab looks overjoyed and Rosetta looks shocked. They are in front of a window and it doesn't seem like Kab thought much before doing this. (Rosetta is strong! She held her up. Tough vermin!!)

meditation... 💭✨
digital sketch; Aurelius (any/all), sitting in a meditative pose, closes their eyes. They then shift size and shape upward and outwards into a much larger and slightly more draconic version of themselves. This is told through 3 images reading left to right. (... Or right to left, if they need to fit back in their house.)

🐛🐛 ... 🦇?
digital comic; Lowell (it/they) come downstairs with a basket of laundry, humming to itself. It notices their cat is staring up at something offscreen with a ?. It follows the cat's gaze to -- a bat! On the wall. Staring back at it! (The bat was caught and released! They are now outside and free wondering wtf any of that was about.)
