Soooo Digimon Story Time Stranger released which means I'm returning to streaming! I've made a new emote for the occasion and there are some other new...developments.

We're having our first Time Stranger Tuesday this upcoming week on October 7th, starting at 7pm to ~9pm Central!

A Twitch emote of Tao the wolf dog holding a clock with sunglasses in a riff on the Filthy Frank "It's time to stop" meme.

Golden Moment

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili
Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas. #Stasanie #Fowldyr

Anthro bird doctor sits in the center on a rusty old chair. Behind his back are 3 pairs of freshly cut wings nailed to the wall. At his feet lie exhausted nurse swans, whom he calls "angels," their wings have been amputated

watched #otgw for the first time since it aired so I drew a bunch of fanart, here's Wirt but I'll post everyone else eventually too 🍂

#artpost

illustrations of Wirt, the main character of Over the Garden Wall. He's a lanky white teenager with brown hair and a thin face, wearing a halloween costume of a cape, suspenders and a gnome hat. Various points in the animated miniseries are reinterpreted here, including making a mixtape for his crush Sara, being annoyed by Beatrice the bluebird, and some of his expressions from dialogue that may be a bit spoilery

Look who got a nice brand new reference sheet for 2025!

Everyone's favorite Halloween fox, October!

Her last ref was done back in 2018, so needless to say, it was badly needed. Nothing's really changed she just looks better now xD

Develop my other 2 of 4 main cast who REALLY need to be finished or male a completely new character from scratch because I want them to be gay (bisexually) 🤔🤔🤔

Idk if I will actually finish cleaning this up or if I'll line it, to WIP hell it goes XD

[ #OCart #OCsky ]

A halfway rough to halfway clean sketch of two characters standing next to each other. The left is a guy in a tank top and shorts, the right is Kaiser, a guy with German shepherd ears, tail, and feet.

Someone is running a custom OC-tober prompt list in Heth, so I'm dipping in and out as my time and ideas allow.

1. Portrait

[ #Hetherev #HetherevOc-tober #Kaiser #OCart #OCsky ]

Digital sketch of Kaiser sitting on some kind of outdoor bench/retaining wall with his phone out. He's looking up at the viewer, as in the foreground there's a hand holding a phone and taking a photo of him.

Digital sketch of Kaiser from the first image but without the overlay of the hand and phone.

You look outside and your (your perspective) monstrous son that you abandoned 8 years ago is sitting at the edge of the woods

[ #Kaiser #OCart #OCsky ]

Very loose digital art of the silhouette of a dog sitting at the edge of the trees in the dark. The pupils and gleam of metal on his collar are visible, but everything else is quite dark.

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.
