It's my birthday! If anyone is up for it, I would love some art of Zorya, my Ukrainian pysanksartsvo inspired WHA oc! They are a witch who uses a kistka as their tool of choice, creating wax-based seals or using wax as a resist for larger dyed seals on fabric! If you're on #artfight, link below!

I discovered this book while researching my newest character & it ended up being gifted to me for my birthday! It feels like connecting with my roots in a way & I'm grateful for the hard work and effort put into this anthology. #ukraine #ukrainian #DViJKA #DViJKAcollective #queer

Book cover of "Queer Ukraine: an anthology of LGBTQI plus Ukrainian voices during wartime" edited and translated by the DViJKA Collective

@armd39.bsky.social suggested that the brushbuddy's necklace should be shelesty bells so I've updated it. :D What an absolutely brilliant idea! #witchhatatelier #whaoc #brushbuddy #brushbug

Digital art of a long tube shaped fuzzy critter. It is sitting on its haunches and holding a kistka in its front paws. Its fur is cream-colored with orange and white splotches, and it has big green eyes. Around its neck is a red-beaded necklace interspersed with hanging bronze bells.

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Jul 10

I did a few climbs and then cheated and worked on my brushbuddy a bit - tentatively named it Lokshyn but that might change?

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Jul 9

Ahh congrats on hitting and passing 500! Your art is so adorable and soft, it makes my brain feel happy! Feel free to vibe with anyone here: toyhou.se/SplitGillStu... but I think Koicha would look super cute in your style!

Someone requested Project Hail Mary from our library and I couldn't resist!

Close crop of the cover of the book Project Hail Mary with a white sticker covering most of it. On the sticker is a pencil drawing of movie-Rocky peeking out from the side of the sticker, one arm raised, with musical notes above his head and a parentheses translating the notes to mean "Enjoy!"

#ArtFight revenge on @nutcaseart.bsky.social! Love me a green red panda character (unsurprisingly)

A plushie style red-panda character with green, beige, and grey markings instead of natural colors, sitting on the ground and holding up a needle and thread. Their left leg has come off and purple stuffing fluff is falling out.

#ArtFight revenge on @bargonauts.bsky.social of the sphinx version of his character, Simon! #artfight2026 #teamtragedy #artfightrevenge #artfightattack #sphinxoc

A black jaguar sphinx crouched in the grass, wings partially open over his back. Soft golden ight comes from the top left.

Had a thought for an art fight attack and I'm hoping I can pull it off so I'm posting the sticky note doodle here for accountability.

Pencil sketch on pale yellow post it note of a deer like creature on a forest background. The upper part of the figure is breaking out of the background boundary

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Jul 1

Posted that doodle of Petra earlier and realized that Petra and James Ortiz have similar hair vibes. I knew there was a reason I liked this man 😂

James Ortiz with his large fluffy poofy hair escaping the gravity of his body and the earth.

Petra, a unicorn shifter in semi-human shape, sitting cross-legged on the ground and holding a cup of tea. His hair is also defying gravity in a similar way to James Ortiz's hair.

And lastly, the two idiots who haven't had their profile pics made yet. But yeah, #artfight time!!!!

A fullbody of a small gryphon with the face and wings of a barn owl and the body, tail, and ears of a red panda. The gryphon is drawn in a cute chibi anthro style with an excited look on their face.

A young man with warm brown skin sitting cross-legged on the ground with a cup of hot tea held between his hands. He has fluffy green, white, and cream colored hair and a pale green unicorn horn. His eyes are deep-set and he wears light yellow pants, a thick blue turtleneck, and a green floral sweater.

Also curse @bsky.app for not allowing us to upload our own animated gifs? Anyway, have a converted mp4 file for a functioning animation (also #gore #bodyhorror I guess?)

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· May 26

Also I need this cloak STAT. #wha #witchhatatelier

Comic panel from Witch Hat Atelier of Coco, a young girl, in winter garb featuring a knee-length cloak with a fluffy shawl around the neck, brimless witch hat, and fluffy boots.

Made a #ProjectHailMary meme after reading this line from the book: "Of course, it's not like I'm short on Taumoeba. I have a bunch of them /where my fuel used to be/."

"This is where I'd put my trophy - if I had one" meme image template with Ryland Grace's face (from Project Hail Mary film). Top panel says "This is where I'd put my astrophage" and bottom panel says "If the tauomeba hadn't consumed it all".

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Apr 16

An attempt was made 😅 I slapped some stripes on this cutie patootie tiger from AileenDoll but ran out of time so I do feel like they're a bit rushed. But still, 3/4 blank dolls painted right before the con isn't bad! . #bjd #balljointeddoll #aileendoll #anthrobjd #tinybjd

A tiny anthro tiger ball jointed doll. It is a pale blue resin and painted with blue stripes. It has a pink nose and pink eyes and is standing in a person's hand.

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Apr 15

A more direct view of the faceup sans eyes. I preferred the golden ones I have but they're too large for the faceplate to sit on the headback so I'll have to make some flat-backed eyes or get some at doll con this weekend. #bjd #bjdcustomization #bjdfaceup #balljointeddoll

Shoulder-up view of a small beige anthro tanuki ball jointed doll with a whimsical woodland theme. It is painted in soft browns and creams and decorated with little mushrooms, leaves, and flowers in red, green and yellow. The doll is being displayed to show off the paint and does not have eyes in the sculpt.

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Apr 15

Another doll mostly done for #NYCdollcon! My @cocoriang.bsky.social pocha ended up being a totally different design than I had planned so now I need a new name! Feel free to drop some suggestions in the comments! #bjd #balljointeddoll #dolls #cocoriang #anthrobjd #anthro #tinybjd

I don't know if I'll be able to finish all my dolls but I figured I could at least get my @ybeedoll.bsky.social crow kit presentable for #NYCDollCon! There are so many other little details I want to add but if I can't get to it before I'm happy with where we're at! #bjd #balljointeddoll #dolls

A small, crow-shaped ball-jointed doll standing on a black cutting mat with white gridlines. The crow is black and the joints are outlined with copper foil. It has a pair of antlers and sparkly green eyes. The whole doll is covered in lichen and moss and there are kintsugi-like cracks that are also foiled.

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Apr 8

Absolutely beautiful sketches I got in trades from BeWhiskered! Koicha from @elvenhound.bsky.social and Aurion from Cedar of @camphowl.com! Absolutely love both of these and am so delighted to add them to my collection!

Blue pencil sketch of a 'red' panda character standing on all fours and facing towards the viewer. They're surrounded by little tea leaves and stars and their name, Koicha, is written in bubble letters under their feet.

Black and yellow/gold pencil sketch of an anthropomorphic character that has a corvid skull surrounded by fluffy fur and rabbit-like ears. The sketch is from the waist up, showing the tail and expressive hands. The character's chest, arms, wrists, and fingers are decorated with gold bangles and chains. There's an accent of blue in the skull to indicate a glowing eye.

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Mar 6

it says you have 5 now, and I see the two from you and the other person who also couldn't see the comments and these two as well.

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Feb 11

MY BABIES ARRIVED! Their eyes follow you as you move and they have bouncy paws/hands! They are double sided, though the eyes only work on the front side. The paw can be placed on either side of the character! #kpopdemonhunters #derpytiger #redpanda #axolotl #fox #arcticfox #animalart

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Dec 4

Just so y'all know, I got the new bumper stickers in and the magnet version is doing super well, even through some pretty bonkers weather! Anyway if you're a fan of #matcha in all its forms, both sticker and magnet versions are up in the shop now! #matchalatte #matchatea #bumpersticker #shopsmall

Close crop of the side of a black car at the rear with a blue bumper sticker that reads in green text "Caution, this vehicle makes sudden detours for matcha." On the right of the sticker is a green colored lesser panda excitedly peeking over the edge of the sticker.

hmmmm.... what if.... an ornament?

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Dec 3

A good chunk of what I haven't been posting is my new character, Koicha, who I plan to use as my "vending-sona" of sorts! #furry #redpanda #matcha #fursona #furryart #furryartist #furrycon #furcon (anyway, if you want to draw art of them, lmk because I'm def. looking to get more art of them!)

SplitGillStudio [ArtFight Team Tragedy]@splitgillstudio· Sep 2

They also sent extra elastic, eye putty and some free eyeballs! I put them in for now so he'd have some peepers but I fully intend to making the actual eyes from the movie. I might even mod the eyes to be larger! 2/2 #kpdh #kpdhtiger #kpopdemonhunters #bjd #balljointeddoll #boxopening

Derpy has arrived from AileenDoll! He's so cute and I can't wait to customize him! He actually arrived the day after I left for a con but I'm home now & finally got to open him up! The extras are super sweet too and I love the little bag! 1/2 #kpdh #kpdhtiger #kpopdemonhunters #bjd #balljointeddoll
