PWYC #YCH #commissions now open on my kofi. Ive felt a lot of burnout trying to feed my family and get my car into a shop from my nonprofit work. Please help me find a footing with my art.

QRP with your orange art!! I had so much fun with this piece from such a simple inspo. Who was your most favorite cartoon crush? Can you tell one of my favs from this? 🫣🤭

Three little travellers are joining up to do some magic. 🌳

This drawing concludes my #AugustAdventures series, but I am sure these three friends will be seen again 💛

#cuteart #artyear #animalart

a digital drawing that is split into three panels.
In the first panel a little mole in a red sweater is pushing an oak sprout in a wheelbarrow. His lantern is tucked under his arm and his wormfriend is riding in the soil inside the barrow. A mouse in a green zipped coat and a wren with glasses and blue coat with moon buttons are watching from the top of a hill, with the mouse pointing to the side with her paw.
In the second panel the wren is watering the oak sprout which has been placed into the ground with something coming out of a round potion bottle while his friends are watching curiously.
In the third panel the sprout has grown into a sapling. The mouse and mole are sitting at the bottom of its trunk with the mouse playing music on a little silver flute. The mole seems to be taking a nap with his worm companion wrapped around its neck while the wren enjoys the music sitting on the highest branch of the sapling. Along the stem, a little snail is crawling. The panels are split by the staffs associated with the three travellers. There is a branch with a single leaf for the mouse with a small snail crawling along. There is a burnt out match which is still slightly glowing for the wren, and a branch with a star shaped lantern for the mole, with a earthworm watching the second panel from the branch.

A digital drawing of a wren in glasses and a blue coat inspecting a stone tablet while sitting on it. It is holding a lightly glowing match-like wand in one of its wings. The tablet shows some cryptic clues containing a seed, a potion bottle and a flute playing music. Next to the tablet a sitting frog statue made of stone is holding a stone potion bottle over its head with two arms, and a blue glowing smaller potion bottle in front of its belly in another two arms. One of the frogs eyes looks up at the stone bottle, while the other looks down at the potion bottle. The scene is set in an open cave, which might be in the middle of a tree and is covered in wild grass and leaves.

My latest finished piece! A #commission from my partner. This was to help depict their #dragonagetheveilguard ocs! Depicting Solas in his dread wolf form in deep convo with their Rook in the fade. A mysterious spectral onlooker gazes on.

I’d love to know what you think!

Solas in his Dread Wolf form glaring down at a normal wolf representing Rook, while a spectral halla looks over the scene

Rotoscope is beautiful. Even more so of such a precious subject matter.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
Your rotoscope reminded me of my Rosie I lost over a decade ago. It brought a warm pang of comfort to remember her. Thank you for sharing 🫶🏻

Yasssss. I just played my first session of this the other night. It’s so cute 🥹🥹

If you have a Switch and like relaxing games, I recommend Tiny Bookshop. You run a mobile bookstore in a seaside town and can decorate it, manage the inventory and hand-sell books to customers. All the good things about bookselling, no vacuuming or trash. 🥰

A #wip today! I’ve been really enjoying designing an entire sapphic scene out of a fellow artists’ #myitemyourcharacter challenge! The hats are designed by @oddarette.bsky.social !
I’m hoping to finish it today maybe 😅

Hey everyone!!

I’m looking for some #ych examples to display off this base.
The trouble is I don’t currently have any #furry ocs, and that’s what I’m craving!

So if you’ve maybe got a furry #oc that you have a good idea of what their room might look like??

Playing with #oc png popups for a young kid with a YouTube dream. It’s cute to see what his 11 year old brain deems awesome.
