Sorry it's not art but I wanted to share these #Warframe capturas I did I'm obsessed with. I already fashion my Lavos like my character Jaanos because he's basically Jaanos the Warframe and these shots do good things with my brain I want to use them as art inspiration.

Started this badge during BLFC but couldn't finish it till yesterday. FINALLY a proper badge of my fursona Vhaltos, also starting to give him a small redesign. Why do I keep making badges so BIG? #art #ocs #ocsky #furryart
A fully colored furry con badge depicting a character that is primarily a dunalino-colored mule or donkey. He has other fantastical features such as a feathery mane and beard, a beak that encompasses his snout and chin and also a teal unicorn horn that looks like it's made of glass or stone. The character name is on a scroll with letters in a color gradient that reads Vhaltos.

What flavor is your OC?

Root beer barrels! Alternatively, sarsaparilla.

Day after and I'm sitting in the hotel room slowly waking up and packing up. The post-con depression is pretty hard already but I had a lovely time and wore myself out haha. Until next year~ #BLFC2025

Set aside just enough time to get a badge done in time for BLFC of my character Razzbi Star so I can wear it while in suit. The letters are in gold Posca so it's shiny! #art #furryart
A traditional furry art badge done in Copic markers and Posca of a pink, white and purple horse character dressed in glamrock attire with bold gold lettering with his name Razzbi Star.

🔮 Charoite in the Dunes 🏜️

My Espeon Pokesona getting some sun! Kind of regret not making the background something more tropical, realized this is a great end of summer piece haha. Lost track of how many hours this took, that's between me and Arceus. #art #ocs #ocsky #Pokemon #Pokesona
A portrait depicting an anthropomorphic Espeon character, a catlike creature from the Pokemon universe. The whole piece is done in vivid colored pencils with dramatic hues with a whole range of blues, purples, pinks and oranges. He's turned towards the viewer, looking at them over his shoulder and giving them a thumbs up as he sticks out his tongue with a sassy good-natured expression. Behind him, dunes in shades of orange and lavender stretch out towards the horizon with a bright blue sky overhead.

Quote reply with your queer characters! (A tiny sample as 100% of them are also queer)
A traditional piece depicting a stoic humanoid woman in a fantastical cyberpunk setting. She evokes the look of a ranger or hunter, she's crouching while frowning with focus and intent at something out of view. Behind her is a bright pink sunset, casting her in blue shadows while illuminating a towering cityscape around her. In addition to the skyline of the buildings, clouds and distant things can be seen such as a flying starship in low orbit and a draconic being in the distance. Waist up art of a monstrous, vaguely-canine character dressed up in sharp formalwear. He's grinning with a cheshire smile, his skin is crimson and his black hair is done up in a wavy mohawk. A piece of traditional art with dramatic, graphic-novel style inks and black shadows. The subject is a goblinoid looking character wearing gear and armor with prosthetic attachments on his arms and mechanical wings on his back. His sharp features and the attachments evoke a distinct bird of prey look. He's lit at a low angle by an orange, purple and blue gradient. His expression is tired, smoldering annoyance as he says "<Fuck.> Nothing's ever easy." A traditional portrait done in orange, blue and purple mechanical pencil. It depicts a dragon in a pose that shows off his elegant, serpentine neck and pair of head fins spread in full display. His features are a blend of mammalian and reptilian or saurian, evoking both and yet neither. He has a cheeky, good-natured grin on his face showing off his teeth as he looks at the viewer.

Might be the last wip I post of this but I'm super proud of how I did his third eye gem on his forehead there.

Getting further along and also starting to add detail and texture and also still avoiding those markings lmao

(I know I'm low key avoiding the stone markings right now because I'm intimidated on how to approach coloring them)

🌿 Tigris Phantasmaflora II 🐯

A Posca take on an old piece I did back in 2016 that I originally did in ballpoint. Instead of trying to make a perfect copy I let it go with the flow this time. #art
A Posca painting done on a circular canvas depicting a vibrantly colored stylized portrait of a snarling tiger with their mouth wide open with foliage spilling out like traditional depictions of the mystical Green Man, with more foliage surrounding the portrait with the tiger stripes merging with the background. The whole thing is in saturated tones of various blues, greens, browns, purple and orange.

Was sitting on this concept for a long time and then decided to refine and finish up these sketches finally. Espeon Pokesona with purple stone markings, tentatively settling on Charoite for a name. Still figuring out how to translate Pokemon to my style. #oc #ocsky #Pokemon #art
A sketchpage featuring an anthropomorphic Espeon from the Pokemon series. He's mostly feline but in a general sense and not a specific one. He's got a forked tail, huge ears, big eyes and little pince nez glasses. He also has asymmetrical markings throughout that look like some kind of stone pattern like agate.

Got a second pass of concepting done for this AU of my space pirate Captain Dakkt. Has a deal with a space siren that is equal parts mystic pact that gives him his ice powers and some form of monstrous symbiosis. #oc #ocsky #monsters #StarlitShores #art #cyberpunk
Messy sketchpage done with manga felt pen of a snarly monster guy that looks like some kind of harpy or maybe tengu. Second sketchpage of the same character but showing long seabird-like wings, except they look more like membranous wings with finger joints. Also has closeups of hands and feet, both of which have sharp claws and look bony and skeletal.

He'll get colored eventually but not sure when so you guys can have the inks as a treat for now. #art #ocs #ocsky #D&D #wip
Art inked in a mossy olive green color depicting a dragonborn from Dungeons & Dragons. He has horns that curve forward, a thin sharp muzzle and is thin and willowy. He wears a cloak that shades his face with its hood and he's wearing studded leather armor with a rapier sheathed at his hip, a magic acidic arrow balanced on his finger with ghostly fae rats running up it. The camera view is tilted upward as he looks down dramatically at the viewer with a pose denoting sassiness and confidence. The cloak is open and billowing as if from a strong wind, revealing indistinct fae rat faces teeming and coalescing behind him.

Not a fandom I do art for anymore but I dig this character and how this sketchpage commission I finished a bit ago for @rosewoodroad.bsky.social came out! #art #gw2 #guildwars2
