I've been working on getting a cozy little discord server up and running for the past few weeks, and today it is officially LIVE!✨

If you're interested in art streams, WIPs, commission openings, or just generally chilling and talking about animals and art, consider joining us: discord.gg/mr2yZFJNCJ

Pokémon trainer commission part 2 for @pamuyablue.bsky.social, of trainer Avery and their milotic, Malik!

Kind of fun to compare the two and see how my style has changed, with a year or so difference between their creation.

#humanoid • #pokemon • #creature • #digital • #digitalart
trainer Avery (they/them) stands with a hand on one hip and the other holding a dusk ball toward the viewer in a challenging manner. Their milotic stands at the ready just behind, curled protectively around Avery. Avery leans coolly up against their milotic, arms crossed and one leg kicked up. Malik, their pokemon, supports them from behind. Both look unflappable (and maybe like you're probably not cool enough to sit at their lunch table).

Exchange piece for @chocolattie.bsky.social, who has some really interesting OCs with fun outfit themes! This one was described as earthy boho.
A horned, dreadlocked, blue-skinned character stands with one hand in his pocket and one on a futuristic windowsill, through which the distant side of the city can be seen. His skin is made of metal plates and tubing, and his cyan, magenta, and yellow hair is equally synthetic. He's dressed in cozy, baggy clothes with a calming, natural color palette, like leaves just starting to shift into fall colors. The earthy reds are echoed in a fine patina of rust on the wall just behind.

Posting at 2am because why not lol. Did some personal art during DnD this evening. This is Mauve (they/them), an aquatic scribe who is still learning the miracles of water-soluble recordkeeping styles.

They love paper.

A bust illustration of Maeve, a nonbinary humanoid character with nudibranch-like ears and long, jellyfish like fins sprouting from their chest. They look thoughtfully down at the book in one hand with a brush in the other, raised up by their face as if thinking about the book's contents. Their skin is maroon and white with gold filigree and teal accents, and their skin is smooth like a dolphin's.

A 2-ish hour quick comm taken in my discord for Anthemis, of their Shiji-long Marise!

Pleased to see this design is still getting love 🩷💜💙

A sketch of a curvy femme anthro character with both canine and dragon traits. She is sitting comfortably looking offscreen to the left. Her fur is covered in soft pastel pinks, purples, and creams which are accented by sharp black stripes.

I think I'm having a bit of deja vu 😳

Quick 2hr* commission for @blazer.bsky.social with two variants!

A curvy femme hognose snake looks down at the viewer flirtatiously as she dances on a sleek metal pole. The same curvy hognose babe glances at the viewer with a sultry smile, this time from the comfort or luxurious bedding.

Here are the badges I finished up at #BLFC2025! A fun batch, I especially loved rendering Tang's flames.
A laminated badge featuring Draegonis, a red and yellow fuzzy dragon. He is rearing up on his hind legs and smiling at the camera. A laminated bust badge featuring Tang the Typhlosion. He smiles calmly at the viewer while his ghostly blue flames flare. A toned bust badge featuring Lilac (fox/otter hybrid). They smile sweetly, captured at an elegant three-quarter angle.

My commissioners kept me busy this con; I completed 13 commissions (with the last nearly done)! Photos forthcoming after a rest.

My clients always come through for me at BLFC and I appreciate you all immensely. Thank you to those who stopped by to support us, or even just to chat!

I would *love* to do more couple work! Here's a few off the top of my head.
A photo of a traditional illustration featuring two foxes holding hands as they waltz through an autumnal park. A colored sketch of two powerful-looking woman, one with purple skin and dark eyes, the other with blue scaled skin and water for hair. The blue skinned woman wraps her arms around her partner, kissing her cheekbone while both look toward the camera. Two winged women float midair, tethered by a red thread. The woman in the front, all pink and cream and adorned with many bandaids, trips forward with a look of surprise on her face. The woman behind, a little more edgy with black wings, braces her knee on the back of the woman in front as she attempts to cut the red thread. She wears a look of concentration and duty. Two partners share a slice-of-life moment at home as one, a spotted feline in the doorway, brings their striped ferret partner a steaming warm beverage while she draws, seated in front of a drafting table with many sketches strewn about the surface. The room has a calming green paint on the walls and feels very earthy and comfortable.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

A thread about FM's secret theme this year, which I was honored to be able to assist with!

'Grats to Ringer and the rest of the team for pulling off the surprise pivot, I had lots of people stop by my table to talk about how cool they thought it was 🔥

If you were following (or at) @furrymigration.org last weekend you may have already seen a bunch of my work in the form of the title card designs for the cast of characters (brought to life by @inkmaven.bsky.social who did an incredible job) or the microsite design/dev (whokilledcorv.us).

Confession time: it took me a shamefully long time to realize that people posting the "Human artists! Share/repost art with X thing" threads just meant art *made by* humans, not only artists who drew humans.

I was like, 'man, what have they got against furries and animal/creature artists?' 😂

A commission that got a little extra love for Makalu and Lego 🍂

A photograph of a traditional illustration featuring two foxes, hand in hand and strolling down a path through trees that are just beginning to change colors. A traditional illustration done in alcohol ink markers. It features a pair of foxes walking a forest path, hand in hand and engaged in conversation.

Upside: homecon means I get to work I my office.

Downside: my manager is a menace and is trying her best to prevent me from working (she stole my chair when I got up to plug in my phone)...
A cheeky tuxedo cat sits in front of the camera, decisively between their seat and current project. Aforementioned cheeky tuxedo sits upon the very chair the photographer is meant to be sitting in. The light casts a sleek shine that accentuates the scritch-marks in her fur.

Shout out to this little latte cat I drew for a coffee shop downtown sometime last year. They had a little collection of cat scribbles going so I added to the collection.

A really lovely and nostalgic exchange piece I can finally reveal for @ratwednesday.art of their scene dragon, Flicker!

I'm learning quickly that if you leave me alone with bright neons, eventually halftones get involved 😂

#digital • #creature • #sparkledog • #dragonart
A stylized illustration of a dancing magenta and black dragon. She is doing a handstand with her wings outstretched, the outer fringe of feathers are a rainbow of neon colors. The voluminous fringe of bands near her face are also decorated with neons, and around her arm, neck, and tail are bright glowsticks. Across her back, shoulders, and thighs are glowing, brightly colored scales.
