I recently learned of a mythological creature from Korea called the Yeongno, which I thought was super cool, so I doodled a version of Kiiro inspired by it.

I'm much happier with this more cartoony version of Kobold Kiiro - now all I have to do is figure out how to draw them "on model" consistently. Ha, yeah good luck with that 😂

Kobold Kiiro: a yellow & gold furry dragon-like creature with an opossum aspect, feathery wings and a fluffy striped tail, rainbow claws, and rounded rainbow horns. They're wearing square glasses, silver earrings and a scarf with purple, yellow, black and cream colored designs.

The more I worked on this, the more things I found to dislike about it, and the more time I was spending trying to get it to look "right" - I eventually decided to just stop fiddling and get to work on the next iteration
Kiiro, my fursona, as a kobold with possum/raccoon vibes - yellow and gold fur, feathery wings and a fluffy striped tail

I had this idea the other day that wouldn't leave me alone until I drew it: what if Kiiro was actually more like a Kobold? I freaking love Kobolds, so yeah, here we go...

I've been experimenting with an overhead camera to record my process because I have an irrational fear of being accused of using AI...

check out the difference a little reference can make 😜 don't ever let anyone tell you it's cheating or a waste of time 😘

I started doodling this in pen and acrylic markers and now I want to remake it digitally with reference 😂

This commission took me way too long to finish, but I really enjoyed the process of making it. Client asked me to draw their cat as Chiron the Ferryman, but with some specific quirks about their pet. I absolutely love bringing these sort of mash-up concepts to life 🥰

#CommissionArt #noAI
A black cat with bright orange eyes sits in a fluffy bed-like boat in the floating dark water of a misty cave setting. The cat has its front leg outstretched with its paw just touching the water. An "omega" crest is mounted to the rear of the boat, and a blue-lamp hangs from the front of the boat with a blue flame that casts an eerie blue light on everything. Inside the boat is a collection of video-game coins and gems, and the cat is turning its head to purr "Pay the toll"

I had such an enjoyable time working on this commission last year for @ankaret.bsky.social - I'm so happy with how the lighting turned out. I don't get to go full-out with backgrounds like this often enough, but I'm glad that I did it.

#humanartists #noai #commissionart #digitalart
The genderless scholar has purple skin and purple curls. They are sitting on a red-cushioned window seat, reading a book while holding a yellow mug of tentacles and eyeballs. There is a small gelatinous cube on the floor beside them with bones floating inside, like a dog treat. On the wall behind them is a bookshelf made of a living tree, full of books and knicknacks. The windowpane is also made of living tree and the view from it shows an overgrown graveyard and wizard tower on the hill in the distance.

I think I've finally drawn Kiiro enough times in their new possum form that I'm gonna call this project done. Now I can finally draw them doing something cute later... 🤭

#characterdesign #OCsky #furryart #fursona #nonbinary #enby #introvert
A character design reference sheet featuring my fursona, Kiiro, reimagined as a ringtail possum with blue eyes and goldfinch wings. They have a long fluffy, striped tail and their yellow-gold fur has a holographic sheen that matches their rainbow-painted claws. They are wearing rectangular glasses and their ears are pierced with 3 rings. Accessories include a draft notebook, pencil/eraser set, cream-colored vest with nonbinary flag-heart pin, and cream-colored fedora.

I could keep fiddling with this version for forever, but not get any closer to what I actually want because I made too many little details I don't actually want to draw again 😂😭

time to start over again, I guess 🤣

a character design sheet for a fursona OC named Kiiro - they are an enby oppossum chimera critter with goldfinch wings, and a long, fluffy, striped tail - they are wearing a rainbow striped scarf, nonbinary flag heart-shaped badge, sleeveless vest, black fedora with rainbow ribbon, rectangular glasses, silver ring piercings in their ears, and rainbow claw polish

I need to correct my previous statement:

I'm not "still" feeling cute, no no no - I'm *finally* feeling cute, despite being nearly 40 and looking like a carbon-copy of my dad and grandpa. #nonbinary #transjoy

that moment when you take an unflattering selfie and realize you look *exactly* like your dad, and your mom's dad, but don't give a fuck because you're nearly 40 and still feeling cute; #selfportrait #art

My art-brain wouldn't leave me alone until I made a version of this in my usual drawing style/process so I could have a new cartoony profile pic. It makes me laugh, okay.

here's my third attempt at redesigning my #fursona Kiiro, with opossum vibes - much happier with this version

second draft of Kiiro's redesign - tried a more colorful version that ended up looking too busy for me, but I only realized it halfway through the cleanup phase

I've been working on another redesign of my fursona, Kiiro, for the last couple days and I like the direction its going.

I was worried I wasn't going to be able to finish my offering of Bubbles, my goldfish mermaid, by the end of #mermay but I made it just in time!

My commissions are currently open on Ko-fi at last year's rates 😍

I need to draw more and play less - I just need the right motivation!

Priority is given to requests featuring anything on my "Likes Drawing" list 😘

I finally finished this reference sheet commission I've been working on off-and-on for about a year and I feel such a huge sense of accomplishment. This one really benefitted from revisions I made along the way as I learned new things.

I've fallen back to drawing more SnicSnek because he's my comfort OC these days. I finally got around to figuring out how his mummy-claw-gnoll-leg weapon looks anyway... Now I just have to figure out what his new outfit looks like...
