I locked in so much on this piece that my phone dying is what alerted me to needing to end stream tonight

Completed commission for @flammtastic.bsky.social !

I like angst so this was super fun ;3

Digital art of Elina (OC belong to Flammtastic)

Character has very light curly blond hair, one gold and one grey eye, red and pale vitiligo skin, and wears golden glasses, earrings, and a nose ring with a checkered grey jacket.

Elina leans against a shattered mirror, tears running down her face as a reflection of her past human self reaching toward her hand

Recently got super into Fullmetal Alchemist and decided to try a manga panel redraw for some fun and practice - it’s not perfect but I am incredibly proud of how the automail turned out

[ #digitalart | #Fullmetalalchemist | #redraw ✏️ ]

Side by side comparison between OG Fullmetal alchemist panel and my own redraw/replication

Left side is the OG version - Edward Elric standing with half torn clothes and holding up his automail arm

Right side is my replication of the same panel (and of your screen goes crazy bc of the toning dots…sorgy)

Sit and contemplate the turtle with him

An upclose photo of a tan and white corgi laying down with his face very close to a turtle toy. He’s not exactly making eye contact, but it’s just close enough that it looks like he is truly contemplating this turtle…

I’ve officially started work on my comic - Scorched Rune!

Pages are currently being posted to my patreon, only 3 pages in so far but many more to come!

You can check out my comic using the link in my bio!

[ #comic | #digitalart | #originalcharacter | #coverart | #scorchedrune ]

Cover art of my comic, Scorched Rune.
Artwork shows Lantē, the golden pig-like character in the middle, sitting on the ground as a piece of paper glows and magic swirls around him.
Behind him, flames and a dark silhouette hover above. Inside the silhouette are 3 more characters. To the left, another character (a red-furred child with a mix of pig and axolotl traits) sits and looks up in surprise.
In the middle, a dark-furred pig character looks back over his shoulder
To the right, a golden axolotl character stands and holds a sickle as her weapon

Got hit with the sudden and strong desire to redesign good old SB!Olive from Spellbound

The first drawing of her was made back in 2023 - time freaking flies man…

[ #digitalart | #OCart | #spellboundsphereSMP | #redesign | #zombie ]

A digit drawing of a zombie OC - SB!Olive (Spellbound Olive). A character originating from a Minecraft SMP. This drawing shows SB!Olive posing, leaning slightly forward with her arms behind her back as she balances on the heels of her feet with a grin. Her hair is a bright green, and flies wildly around her face. Half of her face is covered in a scar and a frill/gill like growth around her eye, which remains partially closed with a large pupil. She wears a dark green dress and a torn fabric around her shoulders. A gold locket hangs around her neck, bandages on one ankle and more growths on the other. Her skin is a dull green

A picture comparing SB!Olive’s old vs. new design.

Her old design is on the left - this one shows a more blue-tinted skin tone with light freckles, lines of cyan across her arms and face, and spots of darker colors across her body. She has Axolotl gills and a tail, a longer green dress, and short green hair with light green tips.

Her new design is on the right, see previous drawing for description

From Tuesdays art stream - it’s pretty sketchy and the colors aren’t final but it’s a fun start!

I’ve been OBSESSED with Kpop Demon Hunter so ya know I had to draw myself - and being an undead already…Yeah I’m probablyyyy a demon

[ #art | #digitalart | #originalcharacter | #vtuber ]

Digital colored sketch of my VTuber (Olive, an undead + axolotl hybrid) sitting on her knees and looking upward. Dark purple marks (inspired by the demon marks from Kpop Demon Hunter) run along her face, shoulders, and legs. She wears a dark navy crop top, jean shorts, and a bright orange jacket with white fluff around the top

Y’all ever get into an intense and sad brainrotting session about two characters with vastly different lifespans?

And then make an animatic about it?

No? Okay

I finally found the time to turn Goldie into a mermaid

And as an extra treat? Turned her husband into a mermaid as well

Stay winning ✌️

[ #OCart | #furryart | #digitalart | #mermay 🐠 ]

Digital art of my two OCs Goldie (a yellow and orange axolotl) and Devi (a red Piglin) as mermaids.
The sketch on the far left is of Goldie and her Husband Devi cuddling and holding her belly (she’s pregananant)
The middle sketch is of Goldie floating with her back turned away and her head turned to be looking behind her
The far right is of Goldie with her hands on the ground as her tail floats above her (kinda like a handstand but also…very much not, bc she’s a mermaid and gravity does not apply anymore)

After weeks of nonstop work this dang animation is…technically done

Tbh I’m not fully content with it (granted I’m probably just being hard on myself)

But I am leaving it as it is, I want to move on to more projects

Maybe I’ll edit it more later?
