A little Sketch of a Fursona
I'm trying to practice drawing muzzles. They are so hard!

As fun as it is to paint combat and chaos, I love painting the peaceful parts of life too.

Nara (Elf), Prax (cute lil fella), and Tuck (Her Royal Feline-ness), have been inseparable for years. Between training and schoolwork, they always seem to find time for goofing off.

Feeling at a loss... My parents are reacting with homophonic actions toward me and my fiancé. I feel like I'm losing my family and it sucks. T^T

I no longer believe art can save the world, but I believe still that it can save me. So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. 🖤🤍

A concept I worked on as I step into doing an Elder Scrolls inspired concept line.

One of the feedback requests that I recieved during my portfolio review was that they wanted a character turn around. So I restyled my DnD OC Arrún and finally did a character turn around for her! 030

A little concept I did of a dystopian building set. I'd definitely like to update it with my current rendering capabilities.

I posted this on the other site, but I would be remiss not to show my little buddy I made for my game a while back. Say hi to Shukhlut Bluesky!
