After cobbling together a hastily constructed MW '25 jam admin pic, I tried to draw a bit of a ref sheet for @aareal.bsky.social as a surprise the other day. After seeA ing the original, he requested a few... alternate versions 😎 I recycled the background from my drawing for @azunnite.bsky.social

Thank you @wagleunagi.bsky.social for the commissioned con badge and fvn enjoyer ribbon... 😊 I'll likely never be in a position to attend one myself, but I can at least be there in spirit!

Azunite got a bit overheated while catching some rays out on the beach, so he recruited some friends to help him cool down. Does he not realize the nude beach is actually two km down the road?

This is a drawover request he asked me to do months ago... hope you enjoy it, otterpop! 😆

Thanks @ariguardian.bsky.social for the beautiful artwork of me and my otter bud @azunnite.bsky.social. I couldn't think of anyone more suited to draw a bear and otter than the creator of Heat Source. 😊 If you haven't read his vn, check it out at ari-guardian.itch.io/heat-source

A collab/trade of sorts with Ragmaan; I drew a (noncanonical) scene set in "The Werewolf Conservation Program" universe, and he wrote a story to go with it...

Check out the "treat" this drawing and short story is based on at ragmaan.itch.io/werewolf-con...

Hope you enjoy! 🐺

The WCP is always looking for
new recruits. It’s not their fault our hiker didn’t pay attention to the fine print on the sign even if it was “accidentally” knocked down. Serendipitously, there’s also a bright full moon out tonight, just before an eclipse! I wonder how that will affect the pack?

I just got this commission done by @marshmallowpupy.bsky.social Thanks for making this old bear look handsome! 🐻

I guess I'm you're opposite... no wonder I am doomed to be forever lonely 😅

I released my newest game as part of the NovemBEAR Game Jam. We are only allowed one month to write, draw and code the game. The base character sprites are provided by Arcadia Adair and music is provided by Camazule. Sprite alterations, additional sprites, story and coding is by me.

I did an art trade with @wagleunagi.bsky.social; I made some posters for Denfur for him, and in turn he had an artwork commissioned for me at the con. This was by @hoodiedogs.bsky.social and the prompt was to make something akin to Sonic the Hedgehog, as I tend to get things done fast! 😄 Thanks!

Who spilled the beans on my secret project?😆

I added shading and clothing to my reference sheet.

My first attempt at a reference sheet. It's hard keeping the proportions the same across different views, but at least I tried!

Still working on my new profile pic. Lately I've been trying to figure out how to take drawings and change the perspective, such as taking a front-facing shot and turning it sideways, or vice versa. I think it will help me make more dynamic vn sprites and cutscenes in the future.

Ari's a nice dude. Glad you got some of his art! Fun fact, I never made a profile pic for my accounts until I saw his artwork & thought "Hey, his bears are cute. I wonder if I can draw one, too." That, and his threat to use this as the standard Patreon profile pic if we didn't have one... he did it.

This character is the embodiment of my late father; the scowl, the judgmental look of utter disappointment in me... I can smell diesel and hydraulic oil just looking at it! (he was a heavy equipment operator) Was particularly happy with how the shirt came out; doing patterns on clothing is hard!

I worked on four vns last month, three are shorter entries for the May Wolf Jam and the other is hopefully the beginning of an ongoing larger project. I'm just starting to get my bearings, so please keep in mind I'm only just starting! These are really more just attempts for me to learn the basics.

New self standing side story released for my ongoing visual novel as part of the May '24 Wolf Jam. It's short at 3,700 words. It was completed start to finish in 4 days. Windows and web version are currently available.

I think I'm happy with the main sprites for the dateable characters now. Please excuse the logo; I just threw it together to use as a background for the group shot; I like the concept for it, but need to clean it up more. Pretty happy with 5 characters in 5 days!

Learning to use my tablet to draw; started with sketching my profile icon, and pretty happy with the results. I haven't really drawn much of anything since high school over 20 years ago, but want to try and get back into it. I like writing and composing music, so maybe eventually I can make a vn...
