I stumbled across @arythusa.bsky.social’s 'The Glass Scientists' webcomic early this year and fell in love, so I animated a little scene for fun 🧪

Henry, a mousy Pegasus with a tendency to disappear at inconvenient times--Fabien, the wild-hearted Earth pony whose energy always seems to defy containment--and Maya, the razor-sharp Unicorn whose hunger for knowledge borders obsession.

By Maeve's side, the Guardians of Time, Chronarchs in training: The steadfast Gabor, as immovable as stone, and his unpredictably fiery counterpart, Aapo. Though their dynamic is riddled with chaos, the students tend to adore them for it. Usually.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling to bring you...absolutely nothing.

YET.

Butttt....check back in this upcoming MFF Monday on FEB. 3RD for a suspiciously radical, and potentially *musical* announcement 😈😈 #indieanimation #myfriendfabien
It's a photo of a computer monitor showcasing a shot from an animated project from within an editing software . The shot itself shows a small scientist, Dr. Lukas, getting upholstered by two creatures, Aapo and Gabor respectively.

🎉Happy #IndieAnimationDay!!

We're working on a sci-fi musical series called My Friend, Fabien!

The story follows a group of small-town kids who are forced to band together to stop the temporal anomalies plaguing their home and save their timeline from permanent corruption.✨️

Happy MFF Monday!! 👋

Introducing Maya–stubborn and deeply ambitious, she’s an overachiever who carries the weight of the world (or maybe just her parents’ impossibly high expectations) on her shoulders. 📙🎒🌟

An abstract poster of the eight planets of our solar system aligned. A purple silhouette with a glowing white center appears to be flying upward toward them. The text at the bottom says Starship Astraea: A Webcomic by Jenna Barnett. Additional text next to the planets says "we are not alone in the universe, we're just waiting to be found."

Most of the art I can show lately has been CDChallenge stuff for Instagram so I haven't had much to share - I offer the character designs I did last year as payment for not being good at posting here 😅

Here are some of my favorite pieces I've posted in the past ~ I'll be posting new stuff here as I draw it!
A pumpkin-headed witch flying on a broomstick in front of the moon. She has a small purple spider companion and is surrounded by friendly pumpkin-shaped bats. A set of three humanoid mermaid characters based on the Pokemon Popplio, Bionne, and Primarina. Popplio appears to be a child in a clown costume, Brionne is a teen in a frilly blue dress and braids, and Primarina is an adult with flowing hair and a frilly top. Art of all five of the main characters from the movie Rise of the Guardians: North, Toothiana, Bunnymund, Sandy, and Jack Frost. They all appear in action poses as for a poster. Art of a group of anthropomorphic dragons, each with unique color palettes and personalities. From left to right, there's a hooded archer dragon with rainbow wings, a tiny red dragon with a scarf and walleyes, a dark blue dragon with wraps around his hands and a stick, a tall purple-and-turquoise dragon holding a gemstone, a small lime green dragon with round glasses and a spellbook, a tall dark green dragon with a sword, and a shorter green-and-blue dragon with her arms outstretched.
