Another commission from September 2025- this one is @code777.bsky.social's character discovering some important information in an old tomb. #Glaceon

A spellcasting Glaceon wizard is in a small library as he discovers a glow from the book he is researching. The red glow lights in front of him, describing a powerful crystal. A familiar, a glowing, ghostly pseudodragon, lifts its head to observe.

A commission from September 2025- @mazinja.bsky.social's superhero characters with a power-swap!

Two female anthromorphic superhero characters on a grey background. The larger figure is a buff sheep who's curly hair resembles hot and cooled lava. Her clothing is in shades of red and orange, and she carries a flaming sword. Next to her is a fennec with shades of purple, green, and sandy brown. She is being lifted by a plant that seems to be produced by the magic she's casting from her hands. Her weapons are a pair of wooden 'knuckle dusters' that seem to have grown onto her arms as needed. Foxglove flowers are in her hair and tail, tying her closer to her 'plant' element.

A piece commissioned for @megamaster1021.bsky.social of his AU #SallyAcorn and #NicoletheLynx from July 2025th!

A Roboticized Sally and seemingly Phage-influenced Nicole have stepped through a broken hole in the side of a building. Behind them is a flaming forest. The colour of the building walls suggests this is New Mobotropolis.

An image of Cream the Rabbit giving her Nightmare friend advice commissioned by TShard in June 2025th. #Creamtherabbit #SonicUnleashed

Cream the Rabbit, in an outfit reminiscent of her Sonic Rider's one, is gently scolding her Nightmare companion to be more gentle when destroying Eggpawns. A non-mobian/small animal rabbit hops away, freed from the pawn.

Commission I did for @ffbacklash.bsky.social in May 2025th!

Two anthromorphic characters are shipwrecked on a somewhat dreary beach. The male tiger and female fox are disheveled and were in the process of reclaiming scraps for their raft, but now they look excitedly to the horizon, apparently seeing something good (a rescue, perhaps?). Driftwood, raft scraps, and shorebirds are on the beach. The water washing up is clear, showing the algae on the stones underneath.

A commission for TShard! #Sonic helps an AU version of Merna with an underwater task. Thank goodness for air-bubbles!

A simple underwater scene where the background is split in both the water and the sandy bottom. Sonic the Hedgehog is walking on the surface of the sea's floor while carrying an orange and white case, an air-bubble keeping him protected. Another hedgehog, wearing a cybernetic suit that allows her to act as a mermaid, is pointing the way while hauling her own orange and white bag. A small school of striped fish is watching the proceedings.

A commission I did in May for @fineursine.bsky.social!

An image that's made to resemble a scan from a manga or doujinshi. An anthromorphic panda is stubbing out a cigarette in an omurice that is decorated to say "SORRY" while saying 'Moe moe kyuuun'. The anonymous customer is overjoyed by the service!

A commission for SHM1288! The immediate aftermath after unfortunately being caught in an #explosion. Warning, #blood!

An image that is mostly monochrome with purples and reds for pop. There is a central figure, an anthromorphic character mostly in shadow and black. Blood and burns coat their body in vivid red. There is static and chromatic aberration to symbolize the high pitch sound in their ears.

An image done in Feb 2025 for a commissioner. This one was a fun branching out of my usual fare. #snake

A small green snake coils around a warm, blue-green mug on a saucer. It's flanked by lavender and vanilla, as well as-- I don't know what those cookies are called. The shell shaped ones? The cup is filled with either coffee or a very cream heavy tea, with a leaf shape in foam. The snake is tasting the drink with a flick of it's tongue.

This was also done in January 2025, celebrating @ffbacklash.bsky.social sona self in the transition of year of the dragon to year of the snake!

Two anthromorphic characters interacting, both with the same clothing (green button shirt with black t-shirt underneath and 'jeans'). They both have the same colour scheme- the one on the top is a semi-Eastern style dragon, floating/flying by while waving to the excited snake beneath them. The snake's pants are less like jeans and more like a... a tube thing.

First up, from January last year! This was done for the wonderful @code777.bsky.social of his Glaceon characters in a final battle! Apologies for the texturing.

Two anthromorphic Glaceon girls are battling in a apocalyptic city. Plumes of lava frame both sides of the picture, as the higher/farther away figure fires off a magical attack that looks like a black void orb at her foe. The receiver of the attack grits her teeth as the magical orb begins to crush the space around her.

Another goal for this year: Want to learn how to best use my new alcohol markers and gouache set!

I want to do more traditional in general, the act of creating physical art is very zen for me.

I'll be posting some selected 2025 commissions I feel proud of to my socials shortly!

It was really hard to pick pieces and I still went over my 'one per month' goal, so if one of your coms isn't in there it's not because I'm not proud of it!

Animal care staff hid mealworms and crickets in a box of crumpled newspaper and the meerkats were obsessed. This kind of enrichment encourages natural foraging and digging behaviors, and clearly, it’s a meerkat favorite.

Alright, year goals- I've gotten better at hips/legs/rear ends, I think. Still can use some polish on it, but my skill as improved on that, so I'll consider that a' win' for last year's goal.

This year I'm thinking I should work on shoe angles.
