Just a fursona drawover of a completely normal picture, nothing to see here
A picture I took of myself in the bathroom, wearing a black flannel shirt, blue jeans, and a green and white fursuit nub tail. I drew my sona's face and hooves over the picture as well to complete the effect.

What it’s like to be a sports fan and also an uber mega giga nerd
A breakdown of SEC teams’ chances to make the college football playoffs, including a separation of the teams into tiers, the conference standings, and win percentages for each contender’s remaining games (calculations are my own) The same thing, but for the Big Ten conference

Did another Halloween doodle of Merry and Rocky… or should I say Rawky
A hand drawing of my characters Merry the deer and Rocky the parrot dressed as Koops and Rawk Hawk, respectively, from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

Merry and Rocky are looking a little different… I always thought Rocky was the taller one
A hand drawing of Merry the deer and Rocky the parrot wearing kigurumis of each other. They’re posing with their arms around each other’s shoulders, and Rocky is flexing his bicep, which appears even larger than usual since his wings are stuffed inside the costume. Merry’s antlers are painted in a transparent PNG checkerboard pattern as if to say “pretend these aren’t here.”

A headshot of a green deer furry wearing a red flannel and a beanie (with a button allowing it to wrap around his antlers) against a yellow background with some falling leaves The same headshot but with a painted background of a tree with orange leaves and a grassy hill with more fallen leaves

We're about to find out how much we've matured from the Zabivaka Incident of 2018

Realizing you have free will is when the teacher shares a digital whiteboard that the entire class can draw on at any moment
A snippet of a digital whiteboard that includes a couple tic-tac-toe games, one of which is played between Xs and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsons. There is also a larger picture of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson labeled "Ryan Gosling."

Sketching Worlds

A little gift drawing for @muzzable.bsky.social ! You all should check him out if you haven't, he's a very cool artist and dude

Happy birthday Sketchy!!
An orange and purple anthro dog with a giant pencil, running across the line that the pencil is drawing. The dog and pencil are digitally drawn, but they're superimposed on a piece of notebook paper covered in hand-drawn sketches of the various themed OC's Sketchy has drawn this year.

Hit this Scrabble move today and I think I started levitating

Made a couple updates to Merry's ref sheet! Gave him a slightly darker coat and some texture on his antlers and hooves
Ref sheet of my sona Merry the deer. Complete with a graphic of his antlers changing throughout the year, including his caribou form in December. This is an updated version of a ref sheet I made last year, the only two changes being that the green on his coat is slightly darker and his antlers and hooves have a wood grain texture.

Learned about this guy today

Firefighter captain who secretly started thousands of fires during his tenure, sometimes "investigating" fires that he started himself

The remaining Galaxy 1 power-ups
A few drawings of Merry, my deer fursona, with transformations from various Super Mario Galaxy power-ups, set against a background of a pinkish-purple nebula. Ice Flower: all light blue with hair and fur that resemble ice crystals. He also has the antlers and larger snout of a caribou as opposed to a regular deer. He's skating on his hooves and holding one hand high, clearly enjoying it. Fire Flower: red and white fur, gray antlers and hooves, Bowser-like spiked collars, and a flame on the end of his tail like a Charmander. He's brandishing a fireball in his hands and looking fiercely over his shoulder. Spring Mushroom: Rather than spawning a giant spring coiled around him, this power-up turns him into a cyborg, covered in yellow and gray metal. His left eye and right arm are styled after the Gearmo robots seen in Galaxy, and his legs are giant yellow springs with hoof-shaped stompers at the bottom. Red Star: a red and black superhero costume with a cape and white gloves. He's flying with glowing aurae around his hands. Boo Mushroom: A pale green and white ghost creature, still clearly a deer but with a body resembling Eeries from Super Mario World.

Fun fact, this is how I hold my pencil
My hand holding a pencil with all my fingers minus the thumb on top of it, and the thumb underneath it as an anchor. Also a piece of paper with some sketches of Yoshi Another angle showing just how messed up this grip is. I swear this isn’t a joke, I actually hold it this way when drawing

Because football's starting up, I thought I'd show off my fictional football team, whose branding you might have seen in my art before: the Stelmont Dippers!

They're named after the Big and Little Dipper asterisms

I've also decided that my bird OC, Rocky, is the team's star receiver
A page of drawings: - The Dippers' primary logo, a midnight blue circle with "STELMONT DIPPERS" and a silver spoon with a star on the end, representing the constellation Ursa Minor - Stelmont's secondary logo, the shortened "Dips" in a looping, futuristic font - Rocky, my red parrot OC, in an all-white Stelmont football uniform, diving to catch a football with one hand - A couple bust drawings of Rocky: one showing him without his helmet, with long, floppy hair dyed midnight blue, white, and silver. He dyes his hair in the team colors during the season. Another drawing shows him preparing for the game, with his hair tied back and applying eye black, which will read "SQUAAAAAAAAWK" from left to right. - A back view of Stelmont's alternate helmet, which is only worn at home during night games. It's midnight blue and reflects the night sky seen from the northern hemisphere in the fall, with the lines connecting recognizable constellations drawn.

Made a couple versions of my sona name which read the same when flipped upside down

I think I like MErriDEW more than MERridEW
“Merridew” written a couple times, manipulated so that it appears the same right side up or upside down The same text flipped over
