Hello new followers! My name is Rosy & I am a disabled multimedia artist & creative writer formally trained as a traditional animator at CapU! I'm an AuDHD tree hugger who can have some Opinions (sorry) & I try to advocate for wildlife, particularly wolves. I post a lot of pictures of my cats!

Keplar, my youngest cat child, a shorthaired dark blue tuxedo kitty with mischief in his heart. He lounges on his cat tree beside a sunny window and looks sleepily content.

Casper, my eldest cat child, an orange and white tabby fluff, being cuddly and sweet on his favourite cat tree perch beside the sun soaked window. The sun shines through his ears, making them look extra pink.

An illustration of the main characters of my graphic novel KNIFE EDGE, Larch the grey wolf and Sedge the coyote, howling upon a grassy, oxeye daisy-flowered hill overlooking a orange sunset over distant mountains!

An illustration of a flying Mothman. He is airborne and has a dark body with red webbing in his wings and red antenna. His face is pale with his mouth twisted in an open scream, his eyes are wide and are red. The background is a pale pink

His tummy is too perfect and his lil' grin - also perfect!!🥹❤️

Good grief does he ever look adorably contented in this one!❤️

That's what I always do, it's just far less intimidating than a single page full of very different short stories. I get doing it for shorts that are all very related but it's kinda weird when they are random.

I love them, this is wonderful!❤️

Yeah, the traffic thing is what tears me up about Etsy. 😑 It's so easy to discover cool people there but I also hate it because shipping is perpetually exhorbitant for stuff from the US, even before Orangeman came back in.

Awww, such a cute glossy tube beast!

Yeee you're on Ko-fi now? That's where I plan to sell stuff in the future; I tried Etsy a year or so ago but I found it incredibly stressful and confusing.

Awww, good boy! Not a good idea to eat poop, lil' man - poop is a big vector for parasites!

Rosanna P. Brost (she/her/them) 🐾🐺 @copperbora.bsky.social · 1d

100% important for his future citizenship & being a good positive representative of his breeds! I think teaching a dog not to bark is the most intimidating thing for me about dog guardianship... although I really haven't had good real world examples.

Rosanna P. Brost (she/her/them) 🐾🐺 @copperbora.bsky.social · 1d

Apparently the poop eating (as babies) is a thing they do to help populate their guts with bacteria. 🤢

If he keeps it up there's pills you can give him which'll make his poop taste awful to him. I can't remember what it is called here but it was in every pet supply store that I ever worked at!

Noooo I hope he develops his bark into something less painful soon!

Ahhh okay yeah that makes more sense, people in the old days were not particularly creative when it came to mounting things.

He's kind of in an Egyptian bird painting pose too

Is his bark cute?

This is hilarious and makes a lot of sense, having handled both animals, sea urchins certainly do bring to mind hedgehogs! Thank you!❤️

Oh my gosh 😂
