🎨🎥One of my goals for 2026 is to make more process videos of my 3D art, including my terrariums/habitats. My lovely husband even got me a handy phone arm to help.

I got these mini fox figures at the Colorado Wolf Sanctuary, and since Okami is one of my fave video games, bingo! 🐺🌸

🎨 It was awesome to finally tackle a major arcana card in a collaborative tarot deck! 🐲 All Wheel of Fortune cards come signed in gold.

❗️I have EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK, so once they have flown the coup, they are GONE!🪽

🎨Final art piece from 2025–a commission for a band some of my friends put together, Dank Ferret! It was a fun challenge to capture my friends’ likeness in ferret form.

🐲 🎨 Art Recap 2025! This past year has been full of audiobook goodness, new 3D printed creatures, custom illustrations for fellow authors and creators, and more terrariums than I can shake a stick at.

Thank you all so, so much for your encouragement and support this past year!

🎨 Art vs. Artist 2026! This past year has been full of audiobook goodness, new 3D printed creatures, custom illustrations for fellow authors and creators, and more terrariums than I can shake a stick at. Can’t wait to see what cool creatures, art, and stories I get to craft next year.

🎨 Now that con season is behind me and the year is winding down, I finally had some time to play around with Procreate’s new brushes—so of course I used my usual tester subject, my dragon character Jaji. 🐲
