Today’s #cringetober2025 prompt is all about indie games, so I did a sequel to some Fields of Mistria fanart - so happy to finally get to spend the shooting star festival with my dragon boyfriend #FoMfanart #fieldsofmistria

Today’s #Cringetober2025 prompt is a -core theme, so I went with my favorite core, Cryptidcore! I drew Rainier as a cute little moth lady 🦋

Definitely Rainier - she’s a badass forest witch, and is living the weird lady dream. Yes I would love to spend my day wandering around the woods looking for mushrooms and weird mosses

#Birdtober Day 7: Common Loon

The photo doesn't capture it fully, but I'm proud of how I did the iridescence on the head. Since I painted a loon this past January, it's kind of fun to compare and contrast the two media.

Good morning! 🪶

Burrowing owl couple-- the male is standing and tilting his head to the side while blinking one eye. Only the top of the female's head is visible and one wide eye is showing from behind a plant.

Bed [1/4]

Cartoon crow looking sad is flying in a wobbly pattern.

As he flies, a strange arch is seen below.

The arch leads is a lighted room, despite it not being attached to a building. The crow is curious about it.

The crow looks into the arch thru its broken window.

A brown bird with rufous breast is standing in a shallow bird bath. With feet spread wide, it is glaring into the camera creating a formidable pyramid of attitude.

#Birdtober Day 6: Pink-necked Green Pigeon

The prompt was just "Green Pigeon" so I picked my favorite one. He looks like an ice cream 🍦 They also have a very neat bicolored iris!

Galen has a poor understanding of social norms and personal property so stealing just kind of happens. Mostly houseplants that they think are inadequately cared for.

Jules steals all day every day and loves it. It is his job, but he also will just impulsively steal anything that catches his eye.

A parody of the “dangerous crow boy that eats plastic meme” featuring my characters Galen and Jules. First panel reads “what Galen’s when you stumble into a room with your shiny things” and has Galen standing alone next to some strategically placed boxes. Second panel reads “ an idiot magpie boy whose job it is to steal things…steals your things” and Jules is standing on the boxes doing the pose from the crow boy meme while holding Galen’s clearly empty wallet

-This is not the sky-

😢It is really sad to see adorable birds dying because of the reflection on windows, so I made this illustration for some bird protection organizations to propagandize this situation.

It’s Day 4 of #cringetober2025, so that means it’s fursona time. Soooo I put my characters in a furry AU. And if they had fursonas they would choose to be cute little garbage animals and live in a dumpster #ocsky

Furry versions of my OCs - Galen is an opossum and Jules is a raccoon. They are both in their dumpster home sitting on a pile of trash and screaming
