I finally finished this painting! It's called "We Gotta Go!"

I had the idea that firefighters having to rush to a call in the middle of washing their engine would be a funny picture.

5x5 painting of thr front of a firetruck. The lights are on and theres soap bubbles streaming off of the front. There are two white male firefighters sitting in the firetruck.

The third and final Basset hound dragon from that firing. I think they all turned out pretty cute 😍

A basset hound dragon facing to the left at a three quartes angle. It has a milk chocolate body and the tip of its tail is white. It has white on its snout going down its jowels and up around its light yellow horn. It has a head like a basset hound but the nose of a cow. It's jowles are longer then they would be. It has no back legs and a wrinkly body A basset hound dragon facing to the right. It has a milk chocolate body and the tip of its tail is white.

An old OC of mine named Glo Stick Burnin. I wanted to test out the makers my roommate gave me for Christmas and it turns out "apple grenn" is her exact shade. Maybe I'll finally flesh out a story for her like I wanted to.

#glostickburnin #normalguyted #originalcharacter #alchoholmarkers #art #ocs
A drawing done with alcohol markers of a humanoid woman posing like she's playing the keytar. The skin around her mouth and the tips of her fingers are light human color but the rest is glow stick green, she has small horns on her forehead and no visible eyes. Her hair is a lighter shade of green and shoulder length. She is wearing a hot pink vest and a blue leg bag. Behind her are the words air keytar in multicolor bubble letters. Next to her is a small drawing or a brown insectoid face. A picture of some alcohol markers in a case. One of them is light green and mislabeled apple grenn

Behold my tiny firefighter made out of breakfast foods. His truck is a loaf of bread, he is an egg, his helmet is bacon and the wheels are bananas.

Recently I've been really into the game amber isle so I painted one of my favorite characters Echo in my style.

Alcohol marker drawing I did of a dog from the shelter I work at. I didn't have the right shades of brown so it doesn't really look like her but it still looks pretty good I think. #Chihuahua #art #Alcoholmarkers
A drawing of a dog from the shoulders up looking directly at the viewer. Her snout is white and her head is brown with yellow brown eyebrows and some yellow brown on the snout where the brown meets the white. One ear is pointed up and the other flops over. The background is mint green

I wanted to make some firefighting helicopter sculptures and the only room for the propellers was on their helmets so naturally I had to color this guy's like a beanie propeller hat

#Mashaween25 day 29 - clown 🤡

Now is not the time for me to get into detailed character concepts, so got a little fast and loose on this one. I love them.
Digital illustration of a jester-type character that is an anthropomorphic crow. The purple crow is wearing a long vest with alternating pink and blue panels, pink and blue striped cuffs and spats, a hat with four floppy points, and a yellow ruffled collar. The clown crow is posed as if they are juggling mid leap.

The progress I've made after a roughly four hour painting session.
#wip #art #acrylicpainting
Photo of a small canvas with a partially done firetruck painting. The background has solid colors and the firetruck has the red and red and yellow bumper painted in but is otherwise unpainted The same small painting but now the grass in the background is darker and more detailed. The firetruck now has the white and silver filled in on the truck and the tires have been added. The firefighters sitting inside the truck have been painted in and are almost finished.
