Well, it was a good run while it lasted

My migraine tracker letting me know it's been two weeks since my last migraine. Unfortunately, the streak broke today.

When you are Christian but want to partake in a little bit of bene gesserit cultural appropriation

A metal cross pendant on a chain that seems to be something you wear around your neck. It has a sharp, retractable metal spike at the base. I have no idea what this thing is for. It got served to me in a Takealot ad with absolutely no other context.

Saw this horse face and had to speed doodle it

Pencil doodle of a horse face viewed from the front with its ears pinned back. It looks silly.

I've also painted some non-mammals 🦎

watercolour painting of Pearl the pink axolotl surrounded by greenery from her native habitat.

watercolour painting of Satin the crested gecko guarding a hoard of dice, surrounded by ttrpg supplies like weapons, coins and rope. The dull metal objects and dice numbers are actually mica paint and shimmer beautifully when the light catches it.

Watercolour painting of Silk the ball python wrapped around a human skull. Moons and stars are above her in shimmery gold mica paint. There are potion bottles and alchemy ingredients around her.

Couple of watercolour pet portraits I've done 🖌️

watercolour painting of a calico cat surrounded by succulents and pebbles. Her name was Pebbles, too.

watercolour painting of a matlese poodle with autumn leaves. This doggie's name is Pumpkin.

Watercolour painting of a mixed breed black dog with pointy ears and a doggie smile. She has grey hairs on her chin. She's surrounded by ttrpg fantasy items, such as weapons, keys, dice, coins, provisions and a scroll. All the dull gold items in this image, including the numbers on the dice, are actually gold micas paint and shine beautifully at the right angle. Her name was Ripley and she was friends with my own dog. She is very much missed.

Watercolour painting of a tabby with white cat surrounded by a scruffy mouse toy, pen cap, blueberries, melon, ghost pop and nik nak. Her name is Marvel.

Aw, thank you! I appreciate that. I love your work too, this has been on our wall for years 😊 (forgive the poor lighting, it's night atm!)

Ten years ago today 🥰 Marrying @thebeardlyben.art is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are simply magnificent. Ek is baie lief vir jou my skat!! 💖💖

A happy couple looking awesome exiting a small chapel. People are throwing dried rose petals all over us. I'm wearing a cream dress and Ben is wearing a dark grey suit with gold tie and pocket square.

Little concept doodles I made for a previous PC's pet mimic. Its name was Penny because it started off as the size of a penny. By the end of the campaign it was disguised as a pouch on Ursula's belt, to the dismay of any would-be pickpockets.

Some pen drawings of a mimic disguised as a coin. It has little sharp teeth along one edge and a forked tongue.

Artists, quote-post with something that's a circle.

Hell yeah, time to fire up the ole finger drawing app! 👈🏼 #makeaterriblecomicday2026

A messy finger-drawn comic of a snake skiing into a Spanx bag. When it slithers out the other side, it is wearing a pair of Spanx which has given it a pair of thick asscheeks. The file is named "Sssspanx."

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

A rather nice photo of Riaan Cruywagen, an Afrikaans news anchor who is locally notorious for never seeming to age. He was an anchor from 1975 - 2012. He's 80 now and looking much older. Locals still tend to have a soft spot for him.

Random Greeeeey!!! I'm so excited to get to play around with this 🤩

Here's a little Scarry-style doodle from my recent commissions! Twocandles is on her way to poison someone... For science! And also for fun! These are available on my ko-fi shop. Twocandles belongs to @m4n3ctr1c.bsky.social, commissioned by @optix2020.bsky.social ✨ thank you!

Happy pride from Khadhi

A pencil doodle of my leonin druid Khadhi panicking and sweating, underneath text reads "I put the pan in panic"

Thank you! I make a bunch of work for myself by rendering so many highlights though. But I do enjoy how it looks... ideally I want to experiment with more simple styles. I guess I kinda did with this one. If I coloured this it would be much more pared down.

Dwuff 🇿🇦✨@dwuff· May 25

This was the first time I kinda nailed down what her final design would end up being! And I think you've probably seen the most recent stuff I have been making of her.

Dwuff 🇿🇦✨@dwuff· May 25

She deeply cares about everyone's hydration, this was before she fell in love with Adrik:

Then Ben and I made this one together:

One of my favourite watercolour brands (Schmincke, from Germany) uses up their leftover pigments each year by combining them to make a colour called "random grey" and it's SO GOOD and I really wish I could get my hands on some!
