Y'all aren't even READY for my new ditto series 🎨🐊
A series of 4 paintings featuring the pokemon Ditto. The first has it lying comfortably in a field. The second has it at the computer, semi transparent as the screen in front of it glows with the text "Pokétax Free File, You Owe $132000". Next it is working at McDonphan's, looking disappointed as it holds a candy covered ice cream cone, and finally it robs a bank, untransformed but with a robbers disguise and a toy gun, as the teller hits the alarm button.

The text reads "Pokémon Day 2025" and "Ganbatte!"

Here's a WIP of the largest piece I've done since college. 🎨🐊

Cried while painting this one-
For a friend of a student of mine, whose dog just passed.
You will be loved for years longer than you were here, sweet Maggie. I hope you rest well. 💚
🎨🐊
An acrylic painting of a brown dog (lab? Lab mix?) Shoulders up on a background of soft green and peach roses. The style emphasizes slightly abstracted fur texture, with green and peach reflected throughout her fur.

Finished this Mary Cassatt study yesterday for a class!
We kept it a bit loose, had fun experimenting with textures and brushstrokes.
🎨🐊
An acrylic painted study of a Mary Cassatt painting, "Lydia Seated with a Dog On Her Lap," the piece has a range of yellow and blue-green hues to represent abstracted plants, white, red, pink and orange flowers dotted about, and a figure seated in a blue and white dress holding some manner of threadcraft as a small yorkie-looking dog sits in her lap. Her back is to us, and red flowers sit between the camera and the figure.

And part 3 of the Deserted Tomb daily, we find the treasure room!
I hope it was worth the effort, guys. See you at the next daily!
🎨🐊
The three neopets approach an altar with a golden box atop it as the darigan uni remarks, “is this it? I thought it’d be more… climactic.” The glowing bori points excitedly towards the box as the mutant bori seems nervous. The next panel is colored in brown tones, as it cuts between three snips with text. “I mean, between the tra,” as the mutant bori is dodging flying spears. “The monsters,” as the glowing bori runs excitedly away from a giant ghost hissing monster. “And the Crying.” As the uni covers her ears while the mutant bori sobs behind her, spears sticking out of his shell. The darigan uni approaches the box, continuing, “just kinda expected… more.” In the next panel, she lifts the lid off the box and tosses it back, hitting the mutant bori on the head as she says “oh well. Somethin’s better than-“ An empty box lies upon the pedestal, a fly fluttering out with the text “empty…” The text reads “onto the next Daily!” As the three neopets look on, disappointed.

Part 2 of the Deserted Tomb Daily, our intrepid three enter the harrowing caverns of the tomb! How will they light their way?
🎨🐊
The darigan uni and mutant bori walk down a long, dark hall with a distant doorway lit from afar. The uni, looking around, asks “sheesh. It sure is dark in here. I can’t see anything.” As the bori mumbles in fear. The glowing bori then raises her hand and shouts, “oh! Hold on! I have an idea!” While wagging her tail. The two look towards the glowing bori in the center as she begins to shake rapidly. As she shakes, like a glowstick, she begins to glow brighter. They seem surprised by this. The glowing bori runs down the hallway, her glow illuminating many hidden horrors, including giant spyders, petpetpet eating plants, skeletons, traps, and more. She runs further down the hallway revealing even more horrors with the two looking on in shock, as the mutant bori says “this might be worse”, to which the Uni replies “seconded.”

And now, 13 years later, part 3 of my Neopets “That One Time” comic!
The sillies three continue their dailies with the Deserted Tomb.
p1 of 3 🎨🐊
Three neopets ascend a staircase into the Deserted Tomb on Mystery Island of Neopets fame. A glowing bori runs excitedly up the stairs as a Mutant bori asks, “uhh… guys? Are we sure to is one’s on the list??” And the formerly electric now darigan uni answers “lol yeah” The darigan uni smugly asks, “you’re not Scared, are you?” It cuts to the mutant bori, crying, answering “yes. Very. I’m so glad you asked.” The darigan uni stares smiling with a “…” above her head. And then she is running up the stairs with the glowing bori, shouting “well, last one in’s a rotten negg!” As the mutant bori cries and shouts “wait don’t leave meeee!”

Part 2 of the “That One Time” comic, from 2011!
Second chapter that made it into the NT.
🎨🐊
An electric uni, with an excited glowing bori clinging to her arm yelling “adventure!” Says to a mutant bori on the ground, “hurry up or we’ll leave you.” To which he replies, “please don’t!!!” In the next panel they’re all wandering down an outdoor path, as one asks “so Kyuu, what do we do first?” And she explains “well, since we’re here, let’s visit the tombola.” And the mutant bori fears an unseen sound. Next panel, they open the door and ask if anybody is there. The camera cuts between a view of the tombola game, and the three neopets staring. Back and forth a couple of times, until the tombola man suddenly appears in the frame saying hi, and the mutant bori faints with a Thunk. The tombola man stretches a long noodle arm to the electric uni, asking “would little miss grumpy gills care for a ticket?” To which she answers yes. She gets the number 15, which the tombola main exclaims is a winner. She asks, “sweet, what did I win?” He holds an outstretched hand with the prize as he exclaims, “dung chewing gum!!!” And she replies “no thank you sir” and remarks that it’s gross he’s even touching it. Text at the bottom reads “to be continued…”

Part 1 of the “That One Time” comic! From 2010.
This was my Neopets comic that made it into the Neopian Times! This and chapter two both did. 🎉
🎨🐊
A comic with a figure drooped over an arm chair, keysmash mumbling. Two neopets, a glowing bori and a mutant bori, walk into the scene, as one explains the end of a Monty python coconut joke. The next panels have the mutant bori shocked, yelling “oh my stars! Summer melted and it’s all my fault!” As he cries. An electric uni flies into the scene to the shock of the two Boris, explaining that “summer has suffered what we call a back-to-school crash, and has been rendered unable to move about or speak coherently, poor girl.” As we see the figure drooped on the armchair again. The figure jolts upright and yells an assortment of random letters before slumping back down, as the mutant bori is terrified before calming down and saying “oh sweet fyora that was terrifying” The electric uni explains “she said she wants us to do the dailies.” As the mutant bori, curled up like an armadillo, says “o-oh, really?” And the glowing bori balances on her head. At the bottom, text reads “you get the coconut joke, you win” and “to be continued…”

It seems the old DA post thread has calmed down a wee bit, so have some slugcats
Three small doodles of slugcats from Rainworld. The first is throwing a brick against a wall with the text "tok". The second is holding a berry with a tiny paw. The third is holding onto an angry bug flying into the air. The bug's nickname is Steve.

36. I was a bit fed up with how I drew myself at the time, and wanted to try something new. Here were my first official fursonas, I guess? (I went with the raccoon.)

35. This one is kinda fun. First time I ever used acrylic paint outside of a school project, and it kickstarted my interest before I ended up a drawing and painting major in college!
My initial toxic dog, Toxin.
an acrylic painting on pink paper. A black wolf dog with lime green accents, including bands around the limbs, lines on the tail, and a hazard symbol cutie mark. He also has light green anime hair and a scar over one eye, because of course he does.
