I still want to make her jacket one day.....👽 #art #digitalart #commissions

Baphomet commission, adoptable of a black, anthro-goat lady with curling ram-like horns and a hand on her hip. A furred, whip-like tail curls behind her. She wears neon pink pants with a leather belt and chain, as well as a black bralette with a pattered jacket over it. The jacket has a printed pattern of different cryptids in bright, neon colors. The tips of her horns are neon green as well as her hoof tips. She has a third eye on her forehead. On the back of her jacket is a UFO with text that reads 'I want to believe'.

some tastefully censored yuri galkin 👀💦 you can use your imagination...

Cropped illustration of Yuri galkin, my dnd warlock, laid back on a bed looking lustfully up at his partner, who is currently having fun with him. There is a big black collar and leash around his neck, and a cigarette held between his fingers. He has mid-length strawberry blonde hair with blue eyes. He's a trans man with top surgery and a scattering of body hair.

hey look it's yuri in his school uniform (he dyed it, he will not wear turquoise) #art #digitalart

My warlock OC, Yuri Galkin, in his 'school uniform', which isn't too different than stuff he'd actually wear, because it's barely his school uniform. He has a red vest with a grey undershirt, brown pants, long leather gloves and boots and a black scarf. He has his tiefling horns and reddened skin.

so I found this friendly little guy hitching a ride on me on my way home and he was super curious and just wanted to hang out on my hand. unfortunately for him he's an invasive green leaf weevil so I can't let him outside, so I made him a little terrarium to live out the remainder of his days 🌿

dudes my heart is broken. this little birdwatching heaven we visit, an area of marsh, reeds and blackbird nests, was mowed down by the property owner. you can see in the first picture how high the cattails were, and we know there were a LOT of nests inside...all gone.

picture of a yellow-headed black bird atop a small yellow post, the background is high reeds and cat-tails.

after picture of the same marsh, all the reeds are gone and the cattails have been mowed down. there is an angry red sign saying 'NO TRESPASSING' despite the road being public property.

I'm done I'm done I'm done!!! Student loans paid off in full. 30k worth of debt, finally done. Begone, parasites, and good riddance!! Student loans shouldn't be a thing and no one should have to start their lives in debt!

Her right arm and head are dropped with gold, her right hand is mechanical and made from it. Yellow butterflies hover around her open palm. Her skull is cracked at the side to reveal pomegranate seeds. She is a warlock whose patron is the god of decay.
