Today I bring you a happy little toaddragon.
A small toad like dragon sitting under a clump of orange mushrooms. It's looking extremely pleased, its head tilted upwards with a drop of water balancing on its stubby snout. It has a dark grey coloration and leaf shaped wings. There's orange leaves under it and droplets by its feet.

As lovable as the design is, I gotta admit the idea of encountering a huge noivern is a little unnerving...

#pokemon #noivern #markereart
A huge black bat creature perched on the metal railing of the roof. It's halfway climbed down, one wing resting at the roof, investigating an abandoned black shoulder bag. Its got a fluffy pale neck ruff and a pair of big forward facing loudspeaker shaped ears with green centers. Its red v shaped nose is almost touching the bag.

I enjoy fantasy'ing up dinosaurs. I also enjoy drawing more or less made up mushrooms. Sometimes the two combine. Here's a 2020 edition mushroom amargasaurus.

A marker drawing of a brown and white fantasy amargasaurus. Its characteristic back spines are instead partially open devil's cigar mushrooms.

It's my birthday so I'm celebrating by posting some old Mothroom art I still think is neat.

Mushroom details in the alt text.
A somewhat antho black and white moth drawn with wings and textures that look like ink cap mushrooms. A fuzzy white moth with a bark like back and "wings" that look like clusters of orange pore fungi. A pink shaded white moth creature drawn with red beads similar to those bleeding tooth mushrooms have A pale anthro moth drawn with wings and antenna in the style of Pink Schizophyllum mushrooms.

It's pumpkat season.
#art #creatures
A gangly four legged creature with a neck like a pumpkin stem and the face a matching pumpkin. It's sitting down, lifting a paw, looking pensive. The same pumpkin creature, this time standing looking ready to pounce. Big pumpkin leaves are growing from its back.

I’ve gotten back into braided paper critters at work… Halloween edition.
A photo of three orange and white paper bats, made from two separate wing pieces where the overlapping ends have been braided together. A common Danish practice for Christmas though it’s usually hearts not bats made this way.

Humans aren't my strongest suit, but you said fav characters and honestly I just liked the excuse to share. This is Noir, my oftn snarky brat of an OC who keeps getting himself into trouble and just barely out of it. In denial about liking his fey stalker. It's complicated. I love him.

I finished this beast April 2021. Somehow it feels like it's been longer.
Digital art of a great winged cream colored snake stretching upwards to a sun ringed in orange clouds. Its huge finned tail is hitting the ground creating an impact, four sets of webbed wings riddled with holes are spaced out along its body with black dots by each shoulder, and its nech and crest has similar dots. Everything besides the black, the white sun and the cream colored creature is orange tones.

I worked on/off on this fern axolotl and frog picture for a very long time. I still like the result, but I'm not keen to try that again. All those fern leaves took ages to make.
Finished 2021
A pattern made up of green salamanders with fern leaves as tails and gills similar to those axolotls have. in between them is various fantasy frogs with smaller fern ears, manes or tails and small green tadpoles with fern tails as well. They're posed in different ways on a blue background, none of them touching. All of them have orange eyes.

"We meet again old friend."

We're playing Hollow Knight again, and even though we've not gotten that far yet, I was reminded how I found some of Troupe Master Grimm and the Hollow Knight's attacks awfully similar so the joke theory that they've met before naturally followed...
Art from 2019.
Digital art of Troupe Maser Grimm and the Hollow Knight from the game Hollow Knight. They're facing each other, their faces touching. Grimm is looking smugly up at a ragged, looming Hollow knight whose one arm is coated in infection, the other holding the cloak closed. Behind them is the Knight's nail coated in infection and sepia chains disappearing into mist.

More old projects I'm still fond of.
This was from a series of photos I'd draw little wolf (and other) characters on from 2020. I called them "wanderwolves". Good way to look at my photos in a new way and fun and simple to make.
A closeup photo of white clublike mushrooms growing from a tree stump. There's a small brown anthropomorphic wolf in a red scarf and two light grey winged fantasy creatures digitally drawn on so they interact with the environment.The wolf is sitting, watching one creature dive as the other is flying up.

A couple of brand new drawings using my beloved orange tones. Trying to do fun fantasy critters in my art. :)
An orange fantasy bird with green feet and eyes. It’s crouching down looking cheeky. It’s got a solid, dinosaur like crest and the wings are slightly dragon like. An orange dragon with green wings, curling horns and tail tip as well as a matching eye. It’s sitting with its back to us looking a little nervous. It’s got a lumpy tube-like texture to its skin.

Just landed here so I'm testing things out with an old bit of marker art while I'm trying to figure things out.
The face of a prehistoric dunkleosteus fish made from lava. It's facing right with an open mouth and It's got a charred stone pattern with bright orange between. There's blobs of cooling melting rock on the ground with steam rising.
