Wrrooff! My paleo-sona is finished, I’m finally a living fossil dog!
I'm definitely putting up a "beware of the dog" sign if I get my own house. This old dog can get grumpy sometimes hehe

I've finally started to make a "storyboard" for one of my novels. Also working on updated designs for the two main characters which is going very well ❤️

Today's been a rather good day for me, and I feel a lot better emotionally as well, as I finally see a glimmer of hope for my dreams of owning my own den and so much more. It is quite the feeling for me to have a genuine smile on my face after so long, and I've missed it so much.

Went for a long walk through the forest I grew up next to. I used to spend so much time around here as a pup. Feels so much more like "home" whenever I visit this place. Just being out in nature like this really does help me calm down and feel so relaxed.

I have a new goal for my artistic hobby: To make characters based on most of or maybe even all 26 known species of hesperocyoninae. I feel these canid ancestors of ours derserve some artistic love. After all, they gave rise to all of our modern canids living today.

I wonder, will I ever see another therian whose theriotype is also from the hesperocyoninae family? I honestly believe I might be the only one in existance. It is kinda neat to be unique I guess, but I cant help but feel so incredibly lonely all the time 🥀

With the warming lights and the comforting sounds of his bell, Kagemaru waits patiently for his next unfortunate victim who wanders too deep into his forest to be lured in. I'm really enjoying working on this more traditional style.

I feel I need to draw other prehistoric canids these days. I have a few species in mind I'd like to try out.

This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today.
The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

Spooky season is almost here again, and I'm suddenly in the mood to draw darker art. How fitting.

”Come on, lets go for a walk!”
My playful little hesperocyon character, Orion, being a lazy dog sitting around my neck, thinking I should do all the walking for him. Just another fun random idea I had.

It is very tough being this shy, when deep down I so badly wan't to try and reach out to other critters, but I just don't dare to do it. Canids are supposed to be social animals, but I'm the opposite for some reason.

I can tell when the canid side of me has once again awakened, as I suddenly have this urge to just run out into the forest and howl, and then just spend the night there. I really don't feel like I belong in a concrete box.

I really felt like drawing my sona, just relaxing while holding a bone. Figured it would be really fitting, my species being one of the first ”bone crusher dogs” after all 🦴

I very rarely draw my dhole sona, so I decided to make a proper drawing of it. The theme is a combinationg of astronomy and steampunk, my two favorite themes in art. This was very enjoyable to work on ❤️
