#rabbit #traditionalart
A black and white rabbit drawing. It is leaping through white space with two leaves bordering it decoratively. The rabbit has ticked fur and closed eyes and appears content. The page itself has small printed black dots in a grid.

Drawing some more nature spirits called Esk in colored pencil. Esk belong an art game, you get points for your creatures by drawing! They have a deviantart right now, but are in the process of moving to a new site so that nobody has to use dA: www.deviantart.com/thosewhowent... :-p
A nature spirit drawn only in red and blue colored pencil. It has a blue body with white feet and mane, with a red face. It has a large pine tree sprouting from its shoulders Another nature spirit drawn in blue and red pencil. It has a wet shaggy mane covering its eyes, and two horns made out of wood. It has big paws and a tail that drags on the ground, and subtle stripes.

I've been drawing nature ghosts lately (for an #art game called Those Who Went Missing)
A digital reference sheet for a nature spirit. It has long flowing fur in a light tan color, though on its side along wing-like fur protrusions, are squiggle like markings. It has two sponges growing on its small head that resemble horns. It's "nature feature" sprouting from its back is a large chunk of quartz. It has three glowing lemon sharks swimming around it A pink psychedelic horse-like nature spirit, with lavender stripes and spots on its midsection. Around its neck are winged maple seeds, two of them forming horn-like protrusions. in the upper corner are three young baby bullfinches. They're the spirit's familiars This nature spirit fades from a dark brown head into a white rump, with scale-like markings making the transition. It has ferns clustered around its head that resemble hair, though under special circumstances, the ferns overtake the creature's whole body. It has a single horn on its forehead to which a flag is tied This spirit is mostly sleek black fur, though around its head are organic white patterns. Its front legs are made out of dead branches, which form into hoof-like shapes at the bottom. It has a deer-like look to it.

Food in bill, the young herring gull is ready to take on the world! Don't worry about those clouds, it's fine. #tarot #gull #birds
A young herring gull flies off of a cliff with a black crab in its bill. Behind it, tall clouds loom over a now-calm ocean. Seaside goldenrod waves in the foreground. The colors are greens and oranges and have a nostalgic feel to them.

I forgot I can use bsky for posting and not just looking at stuff again. Here's a #D&D map I drew for a campaign. Mapping is relaxing...
A hand drawn map of a fantasy campus, in a watercolor style. The buildings have red tile roofs, and they sit perched on white chalk cliffs with dark foliage on top. It's vaguely mediterranean in appearance.

ANYWAYS, some character art for a #D&D NPC I got attached to.
The character is standing straight with their hands placed on the bottom of a warhammer, using it as a prop. The drawing is black and white. The character is middle-aged, short, and has a tuft of black wavy hair poking out from under a patterned hood. They have iron armor boots, large leather gloves, and a patterned tunic. There are several spider-web motifs on the hood and the tunic that allude to their commitment to Lolth.

GUESS WHAT... another little critter! A little mousey bird, if you will.
#art #digitalart #commission
A black and white line drawing of a birdlike creature. It has mouse ears, small paws on its wings, and a long tail with skin that transitions into a tail fan. It is crouched down low to the ground, and looks nervous

Check it out, #pixelart horsies. Two were commissions :)
Three fantasy horse pixels, each 50x50. One is eyeless and has gold inlay and filigree leaves like a porcelain vase. The second is a reddish buckskin color with bangs over her eyes, and the third is a blanket appaloosa with a blue mane.

A couple of werewolfy nature spirits for colourlesBird on deviantart :D
A nature spirit rears onto its hind legs. It's a fluffy monster with grass growing from its tail and three long alien-like fingers A different nature spirit crawls up a rocky hillside. The moon shines down on it. It looks like a black wolf with nightshade leaves sprouting from its back.

Oh to be a little white-crowned sparrow with a fruit the size of my head #birds
White crowned sparrow sitting beneath a rose hip. It is a small, mostly grey bird with stark black and white striped on the top of its head. It is overcast and drizzling. The sparrow now stretches up to take a big bite out of the rose hips.

More faux prints for my little Flight Rising biology project. I have more I want to work on but unfortunately I'm stuck on some centipedes right now and I DO NOT want to draw all them legs :p
Two fictional widow spiders done in a fake screen-print style. One is grey with a big green drop marking and some green stripes. Text reads: "Acid Widow". The other is black with three large red markings. Text reads: "Cinder Creeper" Four giant sea isopods are almost identical, but with drastically different color schemes. One "Abyss crawler" is dark brown, "giant isopod" is reddish brown, "isopod" is a classic grey, and "glass isopod" is a ghostly blue.

Trying to work on some comic ideas... chipmunks are definitely easier to draw than humans :p
Several sketches of an anthropomorphic chipmunk character and friends. There are 4 small sketches of eye styles in the top left. Text reads: "Prefer black eyes, but hard to tell direction of pupil :p." The middle sees the chipmunk balancing on a branch. The top right has the chipmunk talking. Text reads: "Fir needle cloak. Polished seeds" in reference to clothing items. The bottom left has a western grey squirrel bending down to chat with the chipmunk. The middle bottom has four other chipmunk characters. Text reads: "How different can chippies get." The bottom right has the chipmunk character standing sideways. Text reads: "Main character Amoena" though I don't think I'll go with that name.

A couple of #creaturedesigns I did a while back for an adoptables sale. I had a lot of fun with them!
A creature called an "esk" is a plant-based nature spirit. This one has small horns, a grassy mane, and flowers on its tail. Heat lightning erupts from its back. Another "esk", this one is layered in prairie plants over its black furred body, and it doesn't have eyes. Around its dog-like muzzle is wrapped twine from which a glass bead dangles.

A round-faced black cat lies down under blankets, pulled up to his chin. He has a content expression.

I don't thiiink I've posted this one here. A drawing from last year of a "Hooden," a magical construct with elemental affinities. And horsiness. #worldbuilding
A fantasy creature is rendered in a painterly style. It has brown, grey, and black fur. Two legs are like early horses, with five hooved toes. Two legs have been replaced with a green agate. Its head is also a green agate and the concentric rings appear like stylized eyes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Enjoy these wigeons 🤲
Two American wigeons paddle in front of a clump of yellow grass. They're large-ish ducks with speckled grey heads. The male has a white stripe on the front of his face and green feathers around his eye. The two of them swim very close together, beaks almost touching

A collab #unicorn! Tumblr gave me parts and I smashed em all together in unicorn form
#art #creaturedesign
A unicorn rears onto its back legs. It has the face of a tapir, the horn of an addax, the ears of a caracal, the mane of a brown hyena, the hooves of a reindeer, the tail of a microraptor, and the body of a giraffe. It is deep purple with pink accents.

If you see this, post a unicorn that you've painted/drawn 🦄

Unicorn people! Though they fill the role of elves in my world... elf unicorns
Several drawings of small, anthropomorphic unicorn people- styled like some sort of eohippus or early horse. They come in various natural mottled browns and greys, and there's a small drawing of their skull to the side.

People on tumblr really seemed to really like this one. A pamphlet on dog breeds for my #worldbuilding project
There are six fictional dog breeds on a fake digital papyrus pamphlet. From left to right, top to bottom: the first is blueish with spiked fur, next there is a darkly-colored coyote-type dog, then a brindle setter breed, a small white spotted dog, a large livestock dog with big brown splotches, and finally a small herding dog with long brown fur
