Glad that I went to look again later. I only live like 10 minutes from downtown and they're visible with the naked eye! These are night sight photos, but real life is like 30-40% of the brightness in the pictures.

[ #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLignts #Aurora #MNWX ]
A photo of red portions of the aurora. It's basically right above the photographer so the light is streaming out from the center of the photo as if like a perspective vanishing point. There are some green streaks further off to the sides. Green and red streaks of the aurora borealis. The top of a tree is in the bottom right of the photo.

Me sowing vs me reaping but in a good way

[ #OCart #OCsky #Kaiser #kemonomimi ]
Grayscale sketch of Kaiser in some kind of vague action pose Loosely digitally watercolored version of the sketch of Kaiser in a vaguely actiony pose.

I was a good doodle(r) today and actually did some gesture studies.......but one of them spoke to me for the club outfit that I had picked for Kaiser in a discord chat a couple of days ago loooool

[ #OCart #OCsky #Kaiser #kemonomimi ]
A grayscale digital sketch of human Kaiser in a somewhat cocky crouching pose. He's wearing a sleeveless crop top and also sleeveless cropped leather jacket, nearly elbow length fingerless fishnet gloves, and then regular long pants.

ok 2021 drawing also from the vault. Some of my favorite champions <3
(My favorite champions is a pool of approximately 10 champions, oops)

[ #LeagueOfLegends #LOLsky #ArtOfLegends #LeagueOfLegendsFanart #Rengar #Gnar ]
A photo of a pencil sketch. Rengar from League of Legends is standing and grimacing with mixed feelings with a speech bubble just filled with ellipses. Gnar is standing and looking up at him with an excited face.

cleaning and rearranging my files. Found this in the 2017 vaults.
I remember no context other than the file name is "smoothie y u do dis"

A crude digital drawing of a blue World of Warcraft Feral druid form with a disappointed face gesturing at a floating strawberry. "Y U DO DIS" is written above the cat.

I don't know if it's better to say that someone made him watch Over the Garden Wall and dress up, or if he hasn't seen it and someone still forced him to wear Wirt's outfit.

[ #OCart #OCsky #Kaiser #OverTheGardenWall ]
Small black ballpoint pen doodle of the poster's character Kaiser wearing the conical hat and cloak of the character Wirt from Over the Garden Wall. His dog ears are almost in airplane ear mode because of the bat and the end of his tail is poking out from under the cloak.

Gay calm vs gay panic

I haven't drawn digitally in like 2 weeks, Jesus Christ.

[ #OCart #OCsky #Kaiser ]
Rough sketch page with 2 'panels'. First panel is Kaiser, a guy with dog ears, blushing and getting flustered next to another guy, Travis, who is wearing a tank top and leaning his elbows on a railing of some sort. Kaiser's hands are up and sort of flailing/clutching at the air in confusion/surprise. Travis's head is directed off to the left side facing away from Kaiser, but his eyes are looking back at the shapeshifter. Speech bubbles alternate in a conversation. Kaiser: Date?! I thought I was just visiting? Travis: I mean, that too, yeah. Kaiser: Like, are you even gay??? Travis: Something like that. Second panel is a quiet beat after the exchange. Travis looking off into the direction that his head has been facing the whole time. Kaiser is looking away the other direction, continuing to blush. His arms are now down as if fidgeting or just holding himself still.

Cleaning out some folders and figured I'd share these yin yang animal concepts I did a few years ago. A couple of them ended up getting finalized and going onto real products sold by my (at the time) job.

[ #AnimalArt #WhaleShark #Raccoon #Otter #Puffin ]
Sketchy concept showing the top view of whale sharks swimming around each other like a yin yang symbol. Each has a circle on the top of their head as the dots in the yin yang taijitu, and each whale shark's colors are inverted from the other. Sketchy concept of two raccoons with inverted colors loosely alluding to the yin yang taijitu. Sketchy concept of two otters swimming around each other arranged somewhat like the yin yang taijitu. Each are holding a fan shell on their chest that represents the dots in the symbol. Bubbles fill in the space between the two otters. Sketchy concept of two puffins with inverted black/white feather holding fish in their beaks and ducking while standing on a rock as a loose yin yang taijitu. The white portion of the regular puffin's face and the inverted black portion on the opposite figure are meant to represent the dots in the symbol.

Extremely crude approximation:

(Pro tip: read the alt text because my handwriting is bad and I did not plan accordingly in this scribble)
Extremely rough ballpoint pen scribble of the user's fursona, a wolfdog, sitting in a blood draw chair. A hard to see "PLINK" bubble where the vials get placed by the chair as blood is drawn is next to the wolfdog's arm with gauze and tape at the elbow. Caption from the wolfdog says "Whoa, how much [blood] is that?" To the right is a cat as the lab technician who is wearing a facemask and facing away from the patient. The speech bubble from them says "I don't know, I just do as many as they tell me." A rough ballpoint pen scribble headshot of the user's fursona reacting to the last image with a confused expression and a "!!?" next to the face.

Develop my other 2 of 4 main cast who REALLY need to be finished or male a completely new character from scratch because I want them to be gay (bisexually) 🤔🤔🤔

Idk if I will actually finish cleaning this up or if I'll line it, to WIP hell it goes XD

[ #OCart #OCsky ]
A halfway rough to halfway clean sketch of two characters standing next to each other. The left is a guy in a tank top and shorts, the right is Kaiser, a guy with German shepherd ears, tail, and feet.

What are Tuesdays for, truly?

Come by TONIGHT at 7pm Central, as I'm starting my playthrough of Digimon Story Time Stranger!! I've got follower emotes and will maybe let you make some decisions for me.
twitch.tv/taokyi

[ #DigimonStoryTimeStranger #Digimon #TimeStranger #DigimonArt ]
A riff on the "Friendship ended with X, now Y is my best friend" with the poster's fursona shaking the hand of Aegiomon who is featured in Digimon Story Time Stranger. There are photos of tacos crossed out and the text "Friendship ended with TACOS, Now DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER is my best friend" as Tuesdays are normally associated with Taco Tuesday.

Sorry I haven't had the mental capacity to gush yet but thank you so much!!!! I love how you did the hair, and the eyes worked so well!! Can't wait to take mini-me to a future convention with my suit!

Someone is running a custom OC-tober prompt list in Heth, so I'm dipping in and out as my time and ideas allow.

1. Portrait

[ #Hetherev #HetherevOc-tober #Kaiser #OCart #OCsky ]
Digital sketch of Kaiser sitting on some kind of outdoor bench/retaining wall with his phone out. He's looking up at the viewer, as in the foreground there's a hand holding a phone and taking a photo of him. Digital sketch of Kaiser from the first image but without the overlay of the hand and phone.

You look outside and your (your perspective) monstrous son that you abandoned 8 years ago is sitting at the edge of the woods

[ #Kaiser #OCart #OCsky ]
Very loose digital art of the silhouette of a dog sitting at the edge of the trees in the dark. The pupils and gleam of metal on his collar are visible, but everything else is quite dark.

"If it makes you have something to look forward to, I'm a funny guy and have a surprise for you tonight" – my husband
A photo of an ice cream cake. It's decorated with the text "Sorry you can't play LOL this week!" in red gel icing. This is a joke referring to professional player Bwipo being a misogynist.
