Hardest thing about packing for a con is figuring out what art supplies to bring. Sigh.

I'm sad to see a lot of artists I know saying it's super hard to get sales. And it really is. So I wanna promote them here again.

Go check them out and buy or tip them if you can. This is the non-US shops list but I'll post other lists as well.

I made a pack for non-US artists shops!
Let me know if you want to be added (with a shop link) or removed!

Set aside just enough time to get a badge done in time for BLFC of my character Razzbi Star so I can wear it while in suit. The letters are in gold Posca so it's shiny! #art #furryart

I'm annoyed and upset cuz even though I hate this job it's been very stable and I've had progress on getting myself set up to eventually move to some other job early next year but if I have to leave soon that's going to throw all my plans out the window

Sparkyopteryx | BLFC @sparkyopteryx.bsky.social · 2d

Basically without getting into too much, we've just been dealing with an endless parade of bullshit, one thing after the other and if my boss leaves no way I'm staying as the department manager here I'll have to leave too

Storms brewing on the job front and I'm getting nervous about possibly having to jump ship on short notice but still having to worry about y'know, bills and rent n' shit.

Interested in a 3D model head reference for your character? Complete with angle sheet and an animated turntable at 3 different angles?

I'm taking on simple head sculpt commissions again starting at $75 and have 3 slots open!! Feel free to DM if interested!

Shares greatly appreciated as always!

⛓️ Unicorn Glam 🦄

Been a long time since I've drawn my nightmare unicorn Shencoteph. Started and finished during my stay in SF with whatever materials I had (mostly colored pencils and ballpoints). #ocsky #ocs #art #unicorns

As is Art Fight tradition for me, an attack for my gf @somnis.bsky.social! Being one of Dr. Jaanos' bodyguards means Door must occasionally suffer through getting dressed up and going to functions with him. #ArtFight2025 #artfight #art #ocs #ocsky

A waist-up illustration of two characters facing each other and interacting. One is androgynous, tall and looks like a cyborg gorgon with cybernetic snakes for hair with his prosthetic hand on his hip in a sassy manner as he addresses the character next to him, who is shorter, masculine with broad shoulders, goat horns and a cybernetic jaw. They're both dressed up as if they're going to some kind of formal occasion. The bespectacled gorgon on the left is saying: "If it's any consolation my good man...you DO clean up exceptionally well!" to which the very obviously grumpy satyr man replies begrudgingly "I'll take your word for it, boss..."

Got a second pass of concepting done for this AU of my space pirate Captain Dakkt. Has a deal with a space siren that is equal parts mystic pact that gives him his ice powers and some form of monstrous symbiosis. #oc #ocsky #monsters #StarlitShores #art #cyberpunk

Messy sketchpage done with manga felt pen of a snarly monster guy that looks like some kind of harpy or maybe tengu.

Second sketchpage of the same character but showing long seabird-like wings, except they look more like membranous wings with finger joints. Also has closeups of hands and feet, both of which have sharp claws and look bony and skeletal.

It’s #croctober and what a better way to spend it than with the many crocodiles that hang from ceilings in churches to apothecaries, check out my long thread on each one’s location and history and how and why they came to be as they are still today

Hazard @datgreenmonstah.bsky.social · Jun 4

I learned about the oldest taxidermy is a church crocodile in Nossa's Santuario Madonna delle Lacrime Immacolate.
(This is the guy that started my deep dive and soon to be obsession with ceiling crocodiles)

It's finally time for Skinktober!

What's that? No, I'm pretty sure it was never called anything else.
#art 🦢

a digital painting of a juvenile five-lined skink sitting on a decorative pumpkin. it is surrounded by vine and leaves. the lizard is striped lengthwise down its body in white and black, transitioning to a bright blue tail about halfway down. the colors have been very saturated, and the shapes are abstracted to be rigid angles.

🔮 Charoite in the Dunes 🏜️

My Espeon Pokesona getting some sun! Kind of regret not making the background something more tropical, realized this is a great end of summer piece haha. Lost track of how many hours this took, that's between me and Arceus. #art #ocs #ocsky #Pokemon #Pokesona

A portrait depicting an anthropomorphic Espeon character, a catlike creature from the Pokemon universe. The whole piece is done in vivid colored pencils with dramatic hues with a whole range of blues, purples, pinks and oranges. He's turned towards the viewer, looking at them over his shoulder and giving them a thumbs up as he sticks out his tongue with a sassy good-natured expression. Behind him, dunes in shades of orange and lavender stretch out towards the horizon with a bright blue sky overhead.
