A digital illustration done over a photo of a campfire showing an out of place, painted-looking wolf walking at the edge of the firelight, looking across the fire at the viewer. It is backed with a dull red and its breath is visible in a plume from its snout.

Mmm feeling like doing some clay stuff. Sketching out incense burner concepts
A series of sketches of planned incense burners. There are three backflow burners: a Fullbody sitting bear, a dragon bust, and a laying big cat bust. And there are three regular burners: a howling wolf, a bellowing bear, and a dragon.

perspective
A digital illustration of a nude chubby human seen from behind, raising their hand to gently touch a painted cave wall. On the wall is a large black bull and a red cow. The head of the bull overlaps the human so they are sharing the head, and he is looking back with a smile.

Its about looking into the past and gaining a new perspective on the world today sorta! Stepping outside of your own culture and worldview and realizing that the world can and has been wildly different, that we dont have to be stuck in our current cycles.

A photo of a variety of clay pendants and sculpture on a grey woven background. The clay is all mottled in shades of reddish brown, grey, and black. In the back is a sitting bear sculpture and a croaking raven incense burner. In front of them are five animal head pendants of various species. Around them are around a dozen flat clay pendants with designs including paw prints, spirals, and plant impressions. The pendants are all strung on brown leather cord
