I have chronic nerve inflammation on my hands so I don't do as much art as I used to, but I am slowly learning to manage it.

So I raised the saturation a bit and it is very impressive how much colour it adds in there

My beautiful lady <3
Photo of a white and grey cat, sitting and twisting to look back. Her nose is pink and her eyes are green. Photo of a white and grey cat in profile, looking up from a cat tree. Behind her, early sunlight streams on the edges of her fur, creating a sort of halo effect.

Dr. Nikké and Chitose from "We'll Prescribe You a Cat".

They are totally qualified to practice medicine, do not worry too much about it

I guess 2025 is the year in which I made actual progress with going back to drawing despite my hand pain :)

Anyway here's my Art vs Artist for 2025
A nine-panel “Art vs. Artist” collage featuring eight artworks around a central photo of the creator with a black-and-white cat. Top row: a colourful illustration of Sora and Riku from Kingdom Hearts, Sora laughing while the Riku kisses his cheek; a monochrome digital drawing of a cobbled alleyway with stone buildings and arched doors; a tarot illustration of a rearing white horse against a golden sun, decorated with flowers and ornate tack. Middle row: a pencil portrait of Even from Kingdom Hearts; the central snapshot of the artist cuddling a tuxedo cat; a digital illustration of a softly coloured slice of layered cake with pale green filling, chocolate drizzle, and tiny berries, set on a background of faint paw prints. Bottom row: a black-and-yellow tarot illustration of an octopus holding a lantern; a simple black-and-white line drawing of a cat perched on a robot vacuum; and an illustration of an anthropomorphic tabby cat in casual clothes, gazing off thoughtfully with one hand at its cheek.

A digital illustration with 2025 written on it. It stars: new food eaten! (next to a bok choy), old love rediscovered (around a persimmon), saved my (author's) ass (next to a glass of quark with raspberries), learned to make (next to potsticker dumplings and sticky mango rice), w.i.p. (next to cat paws), MVPs in the kitchen (near ginger, rice paper, honey, and sesame oil), aesthetic obsession (next to two red mushrooms) and best book (next to a sketch of Pratchett's Feet of Clay). There is an additional note saying "I also bought a piano".

It took me ages to find a seller in germany that actually sold A5 frames that were actually an A5 but I finally managed, so my dearest prints will be able to be placed on the wall soon! Thanks again @vexnir.bsky.social for the magnificent art!

Tweaked it a little, not as much as I wanted to, but at some point you have to draw a line 😅
A digital painting of sora and riku from kingdom hearts, laughing while hugging each other, sora's arm around riku's shoulders and riku's hand around sora's back, their other hands out of frame but supposedly holding each other. Riku has his face half buried in Sora's hair, and Sora's jacket is slipping off.

I redid the colouring because I was not quite satisfied :)

Could not do the prompts due to my health, and my hand hurts a ton now so I had to stop this here, but happy #sorikuweek2025 everyone!

Rook likes to ride our Roomba, so of course I had to draw him
A digital drawing in strong colours, festuring a black and white cat sitting on a roomba, looking proud. In front of him, two toy mice, a lightbulb, a sock, a piece of something long, a pencil, and three paper sheets await their doom. There is steam coming off the hoover. Behind him, a semitranparent halo with sunbursts. A digital drawing in strong colours, festuring a black and white cat sitting on a roomba, looking proud.

Isabella performing a perfect Shrimp pose, thus showing us all how to correctly use the golden ratio.
A photo of a tabby cat from above. The cat is brown and small with white paws, and she is curled around herself in a circle, with her face hidden by her front paws and her hind paws held straight over her head.
