Had a prompt for Harpy + Cyclops so I grabbed a @trueref.bsky.social image and whipped up a very quick sketch.

Watching Karina Drawfee's Digimon streams reminded me that, as a child in the 90s, I had an OC who was half-human, half-gomamon.

These are some really nice ref photos, @jookpubstock.bsky.social ! A little “realism” practice… didn't nail the likeness but prrtty happy regardless.

Wait.. is this what you meant, @adorkastock.com ? I feel like I've made a mistake.

Another doodley doo. @adorkastock.com ref below.

Been doing a lot of pose practice lately. Here's the @theposearchives.bsky.social November challenge… #DTPYSNOV25.

I saw the ref and all I could think was “Vin Mistborn”.

Some more Barbarian character design noodling with ref from @trueref.bsky.social

More DnD PC character design. This time I've got a Barbarian who is a shard of a spider demon. I think I'm finally cooking on this one.

Saw a funny pumpkin and had s bit of inspiration.

Alright, I looked at this drawing for long enough and got so upset with it I had to go again. This time I redrew the pose from memory.

Thanks @theposearchives.bsky.social for haunting me with your cursed downward angles. Ffs.

Thanks @rebeckeronie.bsky.social for the cool Wick to draw.

Just some @drawfeeshow.com fanart as a warmup. The Stegaswordsman from one of the Ralph episodes.

Thanks @adorkastock.com for the reference!

QRP with something silly and whimsical! ( I saw it again and I did it again),

QRO with something Silly and Whimsical

(Donut God is @drawfeeshow.com stuff and this is their Digijinka).

This angle is an absolute nightmare @theposearchives.bsky.social . You're devils.

Wick is a character by the inimitable @rebeckeronie.bsky.social. I'm sorry they look awful In this one, Reb.

I did the thing. It’s nice to feel slightly confident drawing an extreme head angle. It's not super great, but it's not too bad, and that's a real improvement over not long ago.

Doing some from reference practice of my DnD PC based on these refs from @theposearchives.bsky.social …. Yasa and the horrible little rabbit she's not allowed to eat.

Still on the astronaut and Deleter screen tone kick. The ref is from @trueref.bsky.social and was really fun to draw.
