Hi! I’m Rachel! I’m an artist, writer, & character designer!

I like making characters & stories about diverse furry fantasy monsters!

A digital, bust, illustration of Creature, a living costume that looks like an anthropomorphic hybrid between a sheep, dog, horse, & troll. A pair of digital drawings of Barron Dohauser, a stocky man with caucasian skin & shoulder-length brown hair & brown sideburns, on a soft, earthy green background. The Barron on the left is looking to our right with a happy & friendly expression, softly smiling with his teeth. He’s wearing a blue doublet with a navy blue trim at the bottom & upper body section. Around his neck is an amethyst, green glass, & gold beaded necklace with a dark brown taxidermied paw pendant. He wears a light blue, floral patterned, long puffy sleeved with elbow-high cuffs, undershirt. He wears a brown leather belt around his waist, dark grey puffy pants, & black leather boots with a short heel! The Barron on the right grumpily looks over the scratch marks on the tree to his right. He has a hand touching the tree while his other hand is balled up into a fist at the right side. He’s wearing a deep green, diamond quilted, & sleeveless gambeson with a vertical stripe & three dot berry pattern. On top of it is a dark, sable brown fur cape; the bottom of the cape consists of many fox-like tails. Underneath the gambeson, he’s wearing a dull brown padded undershirt with a padded collar & pants. He has tall black leather flat-heeled boots, black leather elbow length sleeveless gloves, a leather belt around his waist with a hunting sword sheathed on his right, & a dark grey leather bag attached to his belt on his left. A digital illustration of Tombstone, a fat harbor seal & weasel-like Shadow Mount, sitting upright in front of a forest on a clear moonlit night. Tombstone is sitting in some grass at a three-fourths left profile, smiling with their eyes closed & their tongue lightly peeking out of their closed mouth. A full moon can be seen in the upper left corner of the image, the rest of the sky is filled with little white stars that are more visible the farther away from the moon they are. A faint, low to the ground fog can be seen with the grass behind Tombstone. A digital, full-body, illustration of Gwendolyn, a fat, soft pink furred, feminine-looking dullatroll with shoulder length fuchsia pink hair that’s styled into thick dreadlocks, looking at a small globe full of wet specimen sheep eyeballs. The background is a muted blue-teal that creates a simplistic spotlight effect around Gwendolyn. They’re wearing a pair of round prescription glasses, a dark grey sleeveless sweater, a day-night themed vest with gold trim & tassels on along the bottom, matching day-night themed pants with moon & sun patches on the corresponding knees, & a silver-&-gold eye-themed ring. They’re standing at a three-fourths left profile, contently smiling as they’re looking down at the sheep eye globe, their other hand absentmindedly playing with one of their vest’s tassels.

This holiday season, I am begging. Shop local small businesses. Keep your dollars in your local community and support people over corporations.

I would bet there are some really cool local businesses in your area, go out and find them!

#furry #FurryArt #monster #creature #anthro #FatCharacter #Non-Binary #illustration #DigitalArt #dullatroll #oddities #pink
A digital, full-body, illustration of Gwendolyn, a fat, soft pink furred, feminine-looking dullatroll with glasses & shoulder length dreadlocks, standing in the middle of a pink-colored oddities shop. The shop is full unusual decorative items. A taxidermied elk calf & turkey sit in the dark foreground. The walls are lined with framed bugs, fish, & birds. Humorously dressed taxidermied passenger pigeons stand on a table beside a geode. The shelf behind Gwendolyn is full of wet specimen sheep eyes, octopi, & snakes in globes, as well as & dry specimen birds & snakes in domes. Gwendolyn is contently smiling as they’re looking down at a small globe full of wet specimen sheep eyeballs in their hand, their other hand is absentmindedly playing with one of their vest’s tassels.

Here's my first medieval-styled piece that I made last year with Banjo as my first test subject! (I really need to make some more of these, they're a lot of fun!)
#furry #furryart #monster #anthro #medieval
A digital drawing of Banjo, an anthropomorphic cat-bird beast, depicted as a medieval ink drawing on a yellowed & paper-like background. The artist’s signature, “Rachel Martin,” as well as the date the art was made, “March first, twenty-twenty three,” are both written as medieval-styled calligraphy at the bottom.

Here's a redraw of an older doodle I had made of Graves (another dullatroll character of mine) last year, now featuring his new design! (Just in time for Artfight!)
#furry #furryart #monster #creature #anthro #fantasycharacter #dullahan #dullatroll #doodle
A traditional art, pencil doodle of Graves, a muscular & masculine-looking dullatroll with their hair in a bun, standing with their hands in their pants pockets, calmly but curiously looking to our right, drawn on a solid white notecard. A single thin rectangular piece of paper is placed on our right of the drawing as username watermark for the image, it reads, “@cartooncreaturelover.”

I've finished updating Bentley's design in time for Artfight this year!

(Bentley is my mascot, btw!) Third, here's him in his new main outfit! (I gave him pants!)

#furry #FurryArt #anthro #monster #creature #CharacterDesign #DigitalArt
A digital, full-body, illustration of Bentley in his main out, on a light orange background; four alternating darker orange stripes decorate the edges of the image. Bentley is a fat & muscular, purple, goat-like monster with tall grey horns & long ears. He’s smiling & looking at the viewer, standing with his clawed hands on his furred hips. He’s wearing two black hoop earrings in each ear, a turquoise vest with a notched collar, an orange button on his right breast on the vest, & pear green shorts.

Here's a fun little bust of Creature themed for Ace Week! (I'm asexual, as are most of my characters, Creature included!)

#furry #FurryArt #asexual #AceWeek #anthro #monster #fursona #creature
A digital art, bust illustration of Creature; a living costume that looks like an anthropomorphic hybrid of a sheep, horse, dog, & troll, colored with the asexual pride flag’s color scheme. The background is a light pinkish-purple with the asexual flag translucently waving behind them. Pinkish-purple hearts with thick black outlines float around them as Creature smile with their tongue sticking out.

Here's Tombstone's 2025 reference sheet!

I recently touched up their design a bit in time for Artfight, mainly just adjusting their throat & limbs to look plumper!

#furry #FurryArt #monster #creature #DigitalArt #ReferenceSheet #CharacterSheet #CharacterDesign #DousháMount
A digital reference sheet of Tombstone, a fat harbor seal & weasel-like Doushá mount. They have grey fur covering most of their body, with a dark grey underbelly & spots along their back & sides, & a wavy patch of white skin on their face. Along the top of the image are multiple drawings specifying details on the character, showing off how their tail works, their eyes, their hand-paws, & their mouth & teeth. On the bottom left of the image is a front profile, full-body drawing of Tombstone. They’re smiling with a closed mouth, their sharp black teeth stick out from their upper lip on the sides of their snout. Their large belly can be seen sticking out at their sides & from beneath their chest; the underside of their tail can be partially seen beneath their belly. To the right of that is a simplified drawing of Graves, Tombstone’s dullatroll, to show how big Tombstone is in comparison to their seven foot six monster friend/sibling. The muted teal Dullatroll is standing at a three-fourths right profile with his hands on his hips, smiling with a closed mouth as he looks up at his Doushá mount; a thin red heart is floating above his head, showing that he loves & cares about his Doushá mount. To the right of Graves is a left side profile, full-body drawing of Tombstone. They’re smiling with a closed mouth, their sharp black teeth stick out from their upper lip on the visible side of their snout. Above the side profile’s tail is a, to scale, better look of their tail marking; a trio of light grey sheet ghosts with various dark grey dots around them; a pair of bluish-teal arrows coming off of the marking drawing point down to their side profile’s tail, showing where the marking goes on the body. A close up image of Tombstone's smiling side profile from their reference sheet. Tombstone is a fat harbor seal & weasel-like Doushá mount with grey fur, a dark grey underbelly & spots along their neck, & a wavy patch of white skin on their face. Four sharp black teeth poke out from their upper lip.

I still think we can win this fight: I think we can overturn the nonsense; but we cannot win this by being foolish. You have to make your calls, send your e-mails and letters, and you have to stay informed and talk to others. You cannot be silent about this. You have to join us NOW.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

If you're in the US and following me, there is a 100% chance you are a person who cares about comics or movies or video games or books or whatever--as a creator, as a reader, as a fan. These bills are seeking to limit free speech and expression. To censor both the country and the world.

Reminder:
If Visa and Mastercard are allowed to limit what games you buy, there's nothing stopping them from limiting what food you buy, where you buy your clothes, what services you're allowed to pay for, and more.

This is a fight for your freedom to spend your money on your terms. Keep calling!

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

Here's another pair of Book 1 Callie expression doodles, these ones from just the other night!

(I love how the bottom one turned out, personally!)

#FanArt #SirCallie #Doodle #Expressions #Non-binary #Non-binaryCharacter #QueerBooks
Two, traditional art, pencil doodles of Callie’s face, both with a different expression, on a solid white notecard. Callie is from the Sir Callie series by Esme Symes-Smith. On the upper left is an annoyed or irritated Callie with their brows furrowed, their nose wrinkled, & a tense vein symbol floating above their head. On the lower right is an alarmed or suprised Callie, their hair either blowing in the wind or swaying from them jumping back at whatever alarmed them. Their eyes are wide with very small pupils, with no irises or eyeshines. A drop of sweat rolls down their temple, & their mouth is open & wrinkled, as if they were gasping in surprise. A spiky emanata floats above their head to visualize Callie’s surprised feeling. A thin rectangular piece of paper sits between the drawings as a username watermark for the image, it reads, “@cartooncreaturelover.”

Here's my interpretation of Elowen from Book 1 of the Sir Callie series!

She turned out so pretty! (And was faster to finish than the others so far, probably because I didn't have to draw her legs, lol!)

#FanArt #CharacterDesign #SirCallie #Lesbian #Fantasy #FantasyCharacter #QueerBooks
A digital, fullbody, illustration of my interpretation of Elowen from the Sir Callie book series by Esme Symes-Smith, more heavily based on the series’ descriptions the character. Elowen is a 12 year old girl with long, wavy, neat brown hair; a lighter blue bow ties it together into a contained low ponytail. She has snowy pale skin, icy blue eyes, & very faint freckles on her nose. She’s wearing a navy blue ribbon around her neck like a choker necklace, a matching implified, navy blue, sleeveless, cotehardie-inspired overdress with a long sleeved, cerulean blue, coteharder-inspired underdress, an off-white apron over her dress skirts, lighter blue tights or socks that peek out beneath her long skirts, & 14th century inspired, black, leather, flat shoes. She stands confidently, smiling, one hand on her hip & the other holds up a magic flame. Elowen stands against a sky blue background, framed by a darker sky blue rectangle, which is decorated with four-pointed stars, taken from the Sir Callie logo, at each corner, & triangular pointed shapes; the frame coincidentally resembles a fantasy spellbook. A cropped, close up image of Elowen's face; her faint nose freckles & icy blue eyes are easier to see in this image.

I've done it again, another fanart!

This time, it's my interpretation of Willow from Book 1 of the Sir Callie series! He turned out SO cute!!!

#FanArt #CharacterDesign #SirCallie #Genderfluid #GenderfluidCharacter #QueerBooks
A digital, fullbody, illustration of my interpretation of Willow from the Sir Callie book series by Esme Symes-Smith, more heavily based on the series’ descriptions the character. Willow is a 12 year old kid with short black hair. He has pale pink skin, dark brown eyes, a beauty mark on the left cheek, below his eye, & is wearing a black & silver-trimmed medieval tunic with a grey-pink undershirt, a black leather belt, grey pants, & dark grey leather boots. The top third of the tunic is grey with a teardrop pattern. His knuckles are noticeably bruised & roughed up. He stands in a friendly but shy manner, hugging an old leather book to his chest, looking away from the viewer with a soft smile. Willow stands against a pink background, framed by a darker pink rectangle, which is decorated with four-pointed stars, taken from the Sir Callie logo, at each corner, & triangular pointed shapes; the frame coincidentally resembles a fantasy spellbook. A cropped, close up image of Willow's face; his brown eyes, beauty-mark, the top of his tunic with the teardrop patterning, the old leather book, & his bruised knuckles are easier to see in this image.

Sir Callie 2.0!

After realizing their descriptions are different from the book cover, I wanted to update my Book 1 Callie design!

Their hair is messier, they've got their green tunic, & I knocked out a tooth!

#FanArt #SirCallie #Non-binary #Non-binaryCharacter #CharacterDesign #QueerBooks
A digital, fullbody, illustration of a stockier interpretation of Callie from the Sir Callie book series by Esme Symes-Smith, more heavily based on the series’ descriptions the character. Callie is a 12 year old kid with messy orange-ginger hair that’s styled with bangs & pulled back into a low ponytail. They have warm, beige, freckled skin, hazel eyes, & is wearing an emerald green medieval tunic with a copper trim, a creme-colored undershirt, reddish-brown pants with roughed up knees, & dark, red-brown, leather gloves, boots, & knot belt. They stand determinedly, a tooth missing from their smile, wielding Satin, their sword. Satin has been interpreted as a leaf-bladed sword with a green, gem-like, diamond-shaped, dragon pommel & the sword’s name visibly engraved into the blade; otherwise, Satin resembles the book cover’s design. Callie stands against a soft orange background, framed by a darker orange rectangle, which is decorated with four-pointed stars, taken from the Sir Callie logo, at each corner, & triangular pointed shapes; the frame coincidentally resembles a fantasy spellbook. A cropped, close up image of Callie's face; their freckles, Hazel eyes, & missing tooth are easier to see in this image.
