Got my plushies from @crittervalley.bsky.social !! They're so cute and perfect, I was squealing putting their little outfits on. Love the variety fabric choices too, they're just so tactile?? Really nice seeing that kind of care put into plush clothes.
Three Critter Valley plushes lined up together in their outfits. From left to right they are Clover (fawn), Juniper (coyote), and Cinder (opposum).

Have a meme because I needed something simple and silly to do
An art meme titled "Let Your Ship Draw Each Other!" The first artist is Pecan, an anthro golden carp. She draws her partner Rhu in simply, blocky marker, with flowers growing around their feet. The second artist is Rhu, who draws Pecan in a light, sketchy pen style with hatching. In a doodle to the side, Pecan notes that she felt the flowers were necessary and Rhu says they love them.

Doodling in a class and when the instructor asks us to discuss a question with our neighbors, the person sitting next to me instead asks, "I saw that cat-fish you were drawing... Are you a furry?" 😂 Korey gave me away

Last Art Fight piece I forgot to ever post. Girl fed up with the countryside, and probably everything else.
A tiefling with pale blue skin and lavender hair holding a cigarette and looking fed up. Framed in the background is a castle peeking out behind hillsides, backed by layers of clouds and a rising sun.

Badges I made for me and my friends to wear at Anthrocon this year! I had a blast, thanks all for a great time 💚
A furry badge of a crocodilian humanoid with long black hair and wearing a teal snorkel, a tank top, and black shorts. They are swimming amidst bubbles that spell out "Gumi Shark" and reaching to pop one bubble. A brown and green alien fennec fox wearing a green snorkel. Bubble letters floating above the fox's belly spell out her name, "Pine." A humanoid canine with varying shades of brown and some gray blue and green markings floating behind a small school of fish and watching them (hungrily?) with his tongue just sticking out. He is wearing a green snorkel and swim trunks patterned with potion bottles. Green bubbles floating around him spell out the name, "Sorbet." The Sparradile, a crocodile/bird hybrid with green scales, and brown and cream-colored feathers, swims to look at bubbles spelling out the name, "Sparra." She is wearing a green snorkel.

Kicking off ArtFight with some WoF dragons for HybridTheSillyImp!
A pair of Wings of Fire themed dragons. Passionfruit, a purple and yellow rainwing, lays her forelegs over the back of her girlfriend Hyena, a brown and black Sandwing/Nightwing hybrid. They both wear necklaces; Passionfruit's is gold and Hyena's is turquoise. Passionfruit looks down at Hyena with a cheery expression, and Hyena smiles back begrudgingly.

I actually made the little card this year artfight.net/~Sparradile
Team Fossils ID card for Art Fight, featuring the Sparradile (a crocodile-bird hybrid with olive green and creem scales, a gray beak, and brown feathers tipped with cream) and sketches of five characters. It is noted that I will attack whoever (basically whatever characters inspire me), and am willing to make friendly fire and revenges (as I'm able.) The characters are from left to right: Korey: A cat-like critter with tall, multicolored ears and little fins on his cheeks. Diego: A blue donkey pegasus with a green and orange mane. Phoebe: A bellringer with brown and cream fur and yellow and pink markings. Aimee: A brunette woman, a little bit heavyset. Clem: A black woman with natural hair and wearing glasses. Human, feral and anthro are categories highlighted as characters that I have listed on my ArtFight profile.

A couple of my pets and a couple of fluffy client dogs. Milo's goofy face always brings me a smile P:
The inquisitive face of a broad-banded bamboo rat snake. The very top of his tongue is poking from his mouth Pippin the Irish Setter lying in the grass and squinting as his ear blows into his face. A freshly blow-dried fluffy white dog, standing on a towel facing the viewer. His hair almost entirely obscures his eyes. Milo the Shih Tzu sitting on the floor, looking up at the viewer. He is wearing a red bandana patterned with bees.

RAAAHHHH!!!!!

It is time
The cover of The Listeners, a novel by Maggie Stiefvater, pictured with the dachshund bookmark from her book-signing event. The cover pictures a black and white photo of a hotel server climbing a winding staircase with a room service tray. The dachshund postcard is a redraw by Stiefvater of El Jaleo by John Singer Sargent, but with a dachshund included. In the background of the image, Phoebe the Bellringer watches. She alone knows how ridiculously excited I have been for this book to come out.

Finally did some art for my #CampChimera Camper ID and then of course forgot to post it... but hey, I've got more merit badges now!
Camper ID Card for the Sparradile, a bird/crocodile hybrid with green scales, a cream colored belly, and reddish-brown feathers on her neck and wingarms. Her toothy jaw is open in a smile and she's wearing a teal hat with the logo of the Opossums Cabin on it. The ID Card lists 4 merit badges earned so far (Creativity, Bug Friend, Pet's Best Friend, and Eco-Engager). Added to her assorted skills is the custom entry, "Eating s'mores" (the most important skill, obviously).

Okay actually I did manage to get my phone camera to cooperate for a half-decent photo. World's toughest tiny spider

Indie bookstore day haul! Glad I was finally able to make it to Under the Umbrella for a signed copy of @restingdinoface.bsky.social's Last Days of the Dinosaurs

Spotted a little furrow bee on my veggies while I was watering the garden today. She walked right onto my finger to dry off for a few minutes and then went on her way. Too bad she lost a lot of pollen to getting wet, but it's always fun to spot a native bee!
A furrow bee perched on a fingertip. She is black with yellow-white hairs and narrow stripes on her abdomen. Little clumps of wet pollen have fallen off her legs. A furrow bee perched on a fingertip.
