My photogenic Scottish Terrier named Finnley!
Finnley the Scottish Terrier experiencing his first snow. He LOVES it! Finnley the Scottish Terrier comfortably flopped onto a huge fluffy blanket surrounded by other smaller blankets.

I used to snack on sweet peppers. They aren't spicy at all. Pretty colors and satisfying crunch. I think they're tasty!

I made a Really Nice Noodle. I just wanted to share. It's still hard for me to get nice smooth curves like this on a tablet.

Dang. Worst of both worlds... Bad habits but no bingo. Pbbth.
A bingo card full of bad artist habits. The ones I marked are: "One million WIPs" "Comes up with ideas, does nothing" "Forgot to sleep/eat/etc" "The urge to draw in the most inconvenient times" "Hunched over desk like a gremlin" "Fuck, wrong layer" "Too hard on self" "FREE SPACE" "Saves 100 tutorials, uses none" "Where's my pen/stylus" "100 empty sketchbooks" "Forgot to sign/watermark piece" "Forgot to flip the canvas"

I made this fake album cover a little while back. Ended up with TWO new OCs with no story home, currently. That's very odd for me. Usually I do worldbuilding first, then make OCs. Also I don't really make furry OCs either. Double-Rare!

A fake album cover. A soundwave plays in the black background. A screaming neon-yellow abstract coyote glows in the center, with neon pink drool. The words "Rude Awakening" glow brightly at the bottom. The same fake album cover featuring Kane the Abstract Coyote just without text.

Marking up my army of battlemechs because I cannot remember their names to save my life. Took the opportunity to get a full picture. All of them are 3D printed except for the Cataphract (shiny blue one), which I got from Aries.

Still on that quest to design some #LilDudes but Monster Crown has got me trapped in its claws now. It's a lot more intense than I expected and is less "Lil Dudes" and more "Spooky Lads."

ALSO, WHO IS "HER?"😨
A spooky Elk and an aggressive Dragonoid breed to form something I named "Talldog," who is apparently one of "Her" children.

I've only gone about 4 hours into Monster Crown and I've barely scratched the surface, but I already have two favs. Laz and Hooclaw. Hooclaw wasn't my recommended starter but I DON'T CARE LOOK AT THAT SMILE!
A pale-green undead monster with black fungus growing in patches on its skin. Its eyes are stark white. It is very small and cute. A grinning monster with pink eyes and a scythe growing from its body. It looks dangerous and cute.

On a mission to discover new inspiration for Lil Dudes, so I started playing Monster Crown and... uh...
A crowd of terrifying monsters stare down the shoreline from the misty oceans. A textbox reads: "No hope lies beyond the shore."

A terrified woman observed by creepy green eyes gently pushes her door closed. A soft and dreamy landscape with a starry blue sky, white clouds, and rolling green fields with yellow flowers, painted like a children's book illustration. Anya from the game "Mouthwashing" observing the lobby screen's nighttime mode. It is a richly blue starry sky with nebulous clouds and a shining moon. The screen is slightly pixelated. There is a dead pixel in the upper right of the screen. A green alien ocean, covered by orange mist and clouds. Rocks rise above the horizon. An earth-like planet with a purple moon hang in a starry sky.

Ya know... That sounds about right.

Your Result: Reverence You create from reverence. There is something you admire more than words can say. You worship and revere it, to the point that you can't help yourself from singing its praises. Your art is a means of doing this. You do your best to depict the overwhelming splendor you see in it, to make its glory clear. Your work is the highest praise of everything you revere, a tribute to the most wonderful things you know. There is nothing more inspiring to you than the objects of your deepest admiration. It drives you to create over and over again, to strive to adequately capture the splendor you see. You are single minded in your devotion, determined to do justice to what shines so brilliantly in your eyes. You offer up your art as a tribute to something greater than yourself, a goodness that you can only aspire to. That is what the act of creation means to you.

I think I've caught up now! Like I said, I'll turn reposts back on in a couple days!

Anyway, wanna see our dog? His name is Finnley and he's a Scottish Terrier. He'll be two years old on the 26th! I might try baking a dog-friendly cake for him...

I love it so much. And I never see anybody talk about it, so I take every chance I can get to share it!

I have a bunch of Gundam kits but now I've gotten into Mech Girls specifically. Only got the 3 so far but too broke for more kits, or any figures, at the moment. 👍
