It's Pride Month! Quote with a queer character 🏳️‍🌈
A blushing Yang Xiao Long from RWBY. The cause of her blush: her feelings for Blake Belladonna.

My latest silly art: a crack-ish theory about why Raven left Tai and baby Yang.

#RWBYfanart #YangXiaoLong #RavenBranwen #TaiyangXiaoLong
A 4 panel comic, where Taiyang Xiao Long holds his happy baby daughter Yang Xiao Long, sitting on a green sofa in his home on Patch. Raven Branwen, sat next to him, has a silent horrified reaction to Tai's suggestion that they have another baby, her thoughts appearing over the background, mainly repeated 'NOPE' and bemoaning her bad experiences of pregnancy and labour. Raven next appears in her magically transformed form as a raven (the bird), flying towards a portal she made with her Semblance. Tai's reaction is wide eyed comical shock, while baby Yang cries loudly.

Post a meme made by you.

I made this because I frequently use the wrong layer when making digital art!
Adapted cat meme from one associated with the woes of sisyphean cleaning. This time the cat is wailing about wrong layer, made because I keep using the wrong layer with my digital art.

That's a lovely idea, I hope it helps you feel better!

I think I'm better at writing fic than doing art, but I still get the urge to make some art sometimes, either on my tablet or slowly painting minis.
RWBY fanart made for the anniversary of Blake and Yang's first kiss, based on plushies I actually have but giving them updated costumes and exposing Blake's cat ears. RWBY fanart of Raven Branwen in raven form perched on her sleeping daughter Yang. There's a gadget in Raven's beak, and she's thinking about where to put it so she knows when Yang needs a save. RWBY fanart of Blake's eye, with Yang's face reflected in it. Yang's eyes have hearts in them. A Warhammer Space Marine miniature painted blue, with LGBT pride rainbow stripes on the pauldrons and top of the helmet. The gun has a rose coming out of it, and the marine stands on a base made to look like a flowery meadow. This marine does not belong in the grimdark future of Warhammer 40,000.

It's been a while since frolicdragold's art crossed my feed. Turns out her account was mistakenly marked as spam by bsky moderation.

My settings were set to hide spam, but I don’t trust it any more. Here's how to change them:

Settings -> Moderation -> Advanced -> Spam, toggle to 'hide' or 'warn'

Happy New Year!

My resolution for 2025: make more Bees, starting with this silly little doodle. With any luck I'll get my current WIP finished, and move on to my next Bumbleby fic.

If you see this post bird:

Raven!Raven, complete with an attempt at feathers.

I think Raven's Semblance lets her know when someone she's bonded to is in danger, but this silly art asks the question of what if she uses tech planted on that person instead...

#RavenBranwen #YangXiaoLong #RWBYfanart
Raven Branwen in raven form, perched on her sleeping daughter, Yang Xiao Long. Raven has some sort of gadget in her beak, in theory small enough for her to try to hide it somewhere on Yang. Lying sprawled on top of her blanket, Yang is wearing her Beacon pyjamas, snoring, with a bit of drool at the corner of her open mouth. Her long blonde hair is spread out under and partly to the side of her, her left arm over it and resting with her head on her pillow.

I committed Yorse art. Now, Yorse may be an inherently cursed fan creation of RWBY hiatus, but this version of her is cute, if I do say so myself. Drawn because a mutual on Tumblr mentioned taking a custom Yorse plushie into class, which inspired me to draw educated Yorse.

#RWBYfanart #Yorse
Yorse plushie perched at a combination chair and desk in a classroom, pencil balanced on her left hoof, ready to take notes on a sheet of paper. Yorse has the body of a horse and head of Yang Xiao Long.

Love their expressions and Yang's cowlick going into a heart shape! Also very accurate that Yang turns into a gay mess when flirting with Blake.

Very skilled!
The artist Fooze doodled in action: a kiwi bird holding a tablet with a foot and using a digital pen in the other foot for drawing. It's not entirely clear if Fooze is using the stylus or beak as a stylus...

Oh wow, seeing this dramatic composition again, it hits just as hard with that ursa all ready to go om nom nom on Yang—

Wait is that Yang's prosthetic in the snow here?! Yang may be in deeper trouble than I think I realised...

Bluesky's open, quote one art to promote yourself!

Zoomed in details to make it easier to see this is art and not a screenshot of Blake.

Most art I get inspired to make is silly, just not this one of Blake's eye with a reflected Yang.

An attempt at a challenge over on Tumblr to draw Blake like this cat. I thought a ribbon like she used during Volumes 1-3 made more sense than a hair tie. Has she forgotten how to tie a bow? Or has someone else given it a try and messed up?

#RWBY #BlakeBelladonna #RWBYfanart #DrawingChallenge
Blake Belladonna with her ears tied up upright on the top of her head like an accompanying photo of cat. Unlike the accompanying photo a purple ribbon is used instead of a reddish hair tie. Blake looks a bit startled, yellow-gold eyes wide, lips parted, cheeks flushed with a bit of a blush. She's wearing her outfit from Volumes 7 to 9, with a glimpse of her white and purple coat, and dark purple/black catsuit, and the buckles and straps of her backpack. A photo of a cat with a reddish hair tie or bobble around the ears, making them stick upright. The cat looks a bit startled, eyes wide. The cat is mostly white, with some brown patches between the eyes and the ears, and has a pink nose.

Fanart I made back in February, to celebrate the Lunar Year of the Dragon: the major dragons of RWBY, in the form of Yang Xiao Long putting on a sock puppet show of the God of Light and the God of Darkness.

#YangXiaoLong #RWBY #RWBYfanart
Digitally drawn fanart of Yang Xiao Long with sock puppets of the God of Light and the God of Darkness. Yang is hidden behind/under a wooden table from the eyes down, but can be recognised by her distinctive blonde hair with cowlick, and lilac eyes. The God of Light sock puppet is on her prosthetic hand, facing the God of Darkness sock puppet on her left hand. The puppets look handmade, with visible stitches, and Yang has possibly stolen a sock from Blake for the God of Darkness puppet going by the purple colour with black heel and cuff.
