never mistake the wolf’s grin

[OC] meet Asteroid: they’re an expendable with abilities they don’t fully understand! one thing for certain? their stale face has no expiration date. 💚

to anyone curious about the top five regrets of the dying, as cited in OP’s source.
screenshot of a webpage titled ‘The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bronnie Ware’ Reviewed by: Beverlee Warren text reads 1) “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” 2) “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.” 3) “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.” 4) “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.” 5) “I wish I had let myself be happier” (p. v).

sometimes who you are is who your inner child needs
scanned traditional art of a red ink drawing, uncolored and without shading. an older, anthro wolf character kneels with a smile and comforts their younger, crying self. they have afro textured hairstyles, and wear different outfits. overall the image has a tender, supportive vibe. the text below them reads, older wolf: We’re gonna be okay. little wolf: You promise? older wolf: I pinky swear. character design originally created by and belongs to the artist, masqpack.

The energy I bring to BlueSky

(several images because I am multifaceted that way)
hamster or gerbil of some kind in a car of adequate size. the caption reads “the horrors persist, but so do I”. the image is edited to look shiny. “girlhood is a spectrum”, above a line with two arrows on opposite ends. below the line, on the left side is a messily sketched cryptic figure with bugs around its head. on the right is a cartoonish cat with wings and a rainbow aesthetic—butterflies and a halo above its head. picture of a crow that looks like it’s smiling (beak closed). below, “crow of approval” a toad is in the center of the image. a green border features orange texts on the top, left, right, and bottom. top: “DID I HEAR”, bottom “NEGATIVE SELF TALK? Please do not do it.” and the creator’s watermark, right “U R GREAT” and left “U R DANDY”. the picture is meant to be wholesome and inspirational.

Even though it’s not your #1 favorite of all time, what’s an anime that means something special to you?

For me it’s Blood+. It was one of the first anime I finished and rewatched as a kid.
poster of the Blood+ anime with the protagonist, Saya, and her chevalier (knight in French). she wields a blade, and in the background there’s a monster beneath a bright red traffic light.

The original was a GIF meant to show each outfit. Here they are!

Five outfits for the same character, corrected to be on one image since the GIF format did not work in the original.

A millennia will teach you a thing or two about style. Meet my newest Malkavian, Petulance.

Masq’s vampire character, Petulance. The reference has a full body on the left, which cycles between several outfits. Each fit is monochrome with various shades of green and gold. On the right is an closeup headshot of the character, with long locs. The icon toggles with piercings.

otter studies!
screenshot of digital canvas that displays four otters. the preliminary sketch is a cartoonish doodle of an otter, drawn from memory. two referenced drawings follow, each with an image attached. the final sketch is drawn from memory, and resembles the former two in accuracy.

Miriam for @jynreyn
#masqpackART
Closeup portrait of a vividly colored character with an intense gaze. Dynamic lighting puts focus on a serious expression. There are cracks on her face as Miriam turns slightly to the left, but she seems unaffected. The painting has a orange outline to contrast the main themes of sunset purple, with solid indigo for the background. The artist’s logo and signature accompany a white border, and the image is watermarked.

Happy Kwanzaa! as a Soulaani artist, it is my honor to express my inner world today. here are pieces (some throwbacks and WIPs) of Black characters I proudly created.

#BlackArtist #OCSky #supportartists
rendered art of a Black femme original character in alternative pink fashion and neko features (wolf ears and wooly tail). they sit in a relaxed but confident way, with an intense expression on the viewer. character design of an original character that belongs to a closed species. a tall Black femme is beside a cute, chibi bunny with demonic traits (horns, bat wings, and pointed tail). the color scheme consists of various purples, and the designs are placed in a solid black background. rendered portrait of the artist's Among Us OC, June. they have vivid blue hair and deep brown skin. they wear a white suit with accents of gold jewelry and accessories. the character's name is in the upper left corner, with a hot pink background and black border. the work-in-progress of a full body reference that depicts June in undergarments. the art is an uncolored sketch, with the artist's watermark consistently appearing across the image. black lines are drawn on a light grey canvas.

Le Beau Monde: Nintendo Art Charity Zine submission from 2020. the painted illustration features a wintry landscape with a family of Alolan Vulpix and Ninetails Pokemon. there is a drift between them to create a sense of longing. 2020 entry for Clip Studio’s 23rd international illustration contest, themed ‘animals’. the painting is a muted blue, with the center focus a wolf as it howls at the night sky. the mood is serene and peaceful. contest entry from 2021 with the theme “concrete jungle”. the image contains a green illustration, a painted subway station overgrown with nature. a poem borders the right. 2024 6-panel comic submission for the charity zine, YipYip! An Avatar Animals fanzine. the piece is a mix of purple and white, with a poem’s text throughout. the story is about the capturing of a snow leopard caribou by water tribe tamers. otter penguin penguin parents are caught in the crossfire when their nest is trampled. proceeds were donated to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

draw yourself, you won’t
A 6-photo spread in a 3x3 grid for the “art vs. artist” trend. Instead of a selfie, the center image is a grayscale painting of the artist with fangs and thick white locs. Top row: • Left: A vivid close-up painting of Masq’s sona. • Center: A commissioned portrait of a smiling canine character framed by cherry blossoms and a heart border. • Right: A portrait of a black-furred German Shepherd OC named Waldo. It has a green, textured background. Middle row: • Left: Masq’s lemur sona, Mississippi Moth, smiling and wearing a flower crown, painted in a limited palette of yellow and green for a spring prompt challenge. • Center: The grayscale self-portrait of the artist. • Right: A competition entry featuring a Discord mascot—a tanuki with a lime green bucket hat and a butterfly on their nose. Bottom row: • Left: A rendered portrait of an ArtFight character with Neapolitan-colored space buns and circle sunglasses. • Center: Masq’s Among Us OC, June, an archaeologist in a limited yellow palette. • Right: A portrait of another OC, Mars, with striking green makeup and black hair featuring a white streak.

Together they explore the peculiarities of human-animal relationships.

low resolution version: digitally rendered painting of an original character designed by the artist. there’s hatching on the face and neck to mimic texture. they’re a biracial Cuban/Native-American with a mass of black hair and warm tan skin. bold red eyeliner contrasts shimmering green eyeshadow. deep forest green lip gloss completed their makeup. a streak of white runs down the left edge (their right) of their bangs and hair, and barely conceals the scar on their forehead. the character wears a crimson red sweater, with the artist’s website (white) on the bottom right part of the image. the background is a textured maroon. low resolution version: digitally rendered portrait of an original character. a black German Shepherd with a red head collar. his fur is layered and textured, in contrast with the dog’s gear (which is one solid color without shading). rich brown eyes look up off screen. the background is a medium, muted green. the artist’s website is on the right hand side of the image, rotated vertically.
