Hey Bluesky, it's been a minute. I've been staying off of social media for my general health and well-being. I hope everyone's well. Here's Karliah for cat tax.

Goooooood afternoon, Anchorage! It was nice waking up to a view of the mountains this morning. I'll be at #AAS246 this week - feel free to say hello if you see me! Can't possibly miss my bright purple hair. 😂

I'm staying sane during finals by taking short breaks between grading and studying to play Oblivion(!!). Naturally, I had to draft this portrait concept of Aulynwe, my altmer Hero of Kvatch! Hopefully I'll get some painting time in before I start my research travel over the summer! #elderscrolls

Our astronomy program is hosting a #lunareclipse star party tomorrow and we decided cornhole would be a great game for visitors to play. I added a little spacey touch with some spray paint and acrylics today! Tomorrow I get to have some fun adding a few glow in the dark accents! #astronomyartist

Karliah says happy Sunday, y'all! We both hope everyone has had a restful weekend full of cat naps and cute kitty bleps! 🫶

Karliah was extremely irritated that I woke her up just to take a picture of her. I told her maybe she should stop being so cute, then.

I can't believe I've only had my cat for a month and five days. What the fuck. This little idiot has already sunk her claws so deep into my heart she's ingrained there forever (and I wouldn't have it any other way).

Semester is kicking my ass but I drafted this mockup for a painting of Karliah and MAYBE I'll get to work on it in the studio on Saturday...we'll see if I remember how gouache works 🌙

Karliah says hello, fellow instigator of naughty kitty crimes

Found out I probably have summer RA support and honest to god this was my reaction, right down to the expression

Here's Karliah to brighten your Tuesday, everyone (two seconds before she tried to yeet the phone out of my hand)

Karliah says happy hump day! Don't forget to drink water and take a nap if you need to! 🐱🐾

Un-Follow Me Now, This Is Gonna Be the Only Thing I Skeet About For The Next Week. Ive Wanted This For Years Fuck. What The Fuck.

Karliah came home today! 💜 I'm about to become the most insufferable cat mom on the planet. #housepanther

Another quick little concept...hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to gesso the wood panels sitting on my dining room table so I can get to finishing some of these!

I'm drinking wine and watching The Sound of Music tonight because I'm tired. Tomorrow the real work begins.

The single bright spot in 2025 so far is my beautiful sweet angel Karliah whom I'm adopting next week and I cannot WAIT to become an absolutely insufferable cat mom 😤

Almost finished the initial line drawing for this #bg3 #shadowheart painting! I can't wait to get started on the colors!

Starting off the new year with a neotrad-style portrait of my hexblade warlock tiefling, Maralyn! Figured it was time to dust off the gouache set and remember how to paint 😵‍💫 #dnd #tiefling #portrait #wip
