Painted a Youko Kurama fox yesterday while working on commissions. I like to have a couple paintings going at once so I can work while one dries!

Anyway, I love Yu Yu Hakusho.

Wow!! So cute!!

Thanks! It's insane how long it's taken to recover. Hoping in another week or two I'll be totally back to normal!

A few weeks ago, my right arm was mauled by a cat and I had to seek medical help. It took a week and a half before the swelling went down enough to use my hand - my wrist looked like a cankle!

I'm still dealing with stiffness and pain, but anyway, that's why I haven't been posting much.

Tested out some handmade papers by painting a Soft Bun.

Colors are a bit jacked because every photo I try to post from my phone turns out dark! Anyone else having this issue?

One more #Junicorn before the month is up - this is the rare and majestic Oryxcorn!

An Oryx, but also a unicorn! Could such a thing be possible? It's in a jumping pose, with a single leafy vine in the background

#Dishonored Void Whale statue on the way to its new home!

There are a couple more pre-order slots open in my shop!These whales are completely hand-made and hand-painted, a labor of love.

A statue of a strange, bloody gray whale-like creature is perched on a wooden base among green foliage

Thank you! One of my favorite things is to illustrate lesser-known mythical beasts!

No problem, it's lovely!

This is an old one, from a few years ago. I don't think I was using a prompt list at the time, just researching unicorns in mythology! This is one of my favorites.

Are we doing #Junicorn?

The Karkadann is an unconventional unicorn out of Persian mythology. Though fierce-looking, it's a gentle enough creature that it allows birds to alight on its horn.

Done in Hydrus and Finetec gold watercolors
