Test page as I struggle with writing an outline and committing to a format 🙃 #OCs #DivineInspo

Look at this doofus.

Meeting (again) for the first time. #OCs #DivineInspo

We saw a mysterious mustelid near Nada Lake on our Enchantments hike. The encounter stuck with me, so i wanted to try and sketch the sighting from memory.

More photos cause i cant stop thinking about it.

Got lucky and won a permit to go backpacking in the Enchantments 🏔️ One of the hardest hikes I’ve ever done, but more than worth it to spend three nights in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

My light-purple adventuring hat got so sun bleached it almost looked white, so I re-dyed it. I love revitalizing over replacing~

Page of scribbles as i get to know this new character. #OCs #DivineInspo

Feeling anxious before meeting a god. #ocs #divineinspo

Names and character sheets for this duo. Aldwin is an engineer selected to be the city’s annual ambassador to their strange and distant artistic god, Meraki, who draws and paints their world into existence. I’ll be tagging everything related to these characters with #DivineInspo

Rejuvenated by the power of a weekend backpacking trip. I love where we live so much~

Here it comes.

Finally decided on colors for these two. #characterdesign #ocs #DivineInspo

Spent the weekend camping, helping build trails, and enjoying a DJ set in the middle of the woods 🌳🌲🪩🌲🌳

I think this one is still my favorite. Its from my favorite campground and getting to look at clear glacial melt rapids for an hour is just ✨👌

Plein air oil paintings from CFT.

Took a break from the main characters to figure out what the rest of the people in this world/story look like. Seeing what kind of range i can get with vaguely indeterminate mammal people. #DivineInspo

Thoughts and prayers to the sandhill crane fighting for its life to get me my message 🫡

Test driving these designs by throwing some emotions at them. #ocs #divineinspo

Character design sketches, expanding on the ones I liked best from that last page of scribbles. The idea for the story is exploring the friendship between a trapped immortal art god and a mortal who lives freely in their artwork. #ocs #divineinspo

Character design sketches for a story idea… Normally designs come first to me and the story follows, but this time the story came first. So this is me fumbling around, figuring out what these characters look like. #DivineInspo

QRP with your pride flags 🏳️‍🌈

Goodbye Iceland! I’ll think fondly of this adventure for the rest of my life 🇮🇸💕

I’ve never been more offline.

Fun fact: Reindeer give out noseboops for free and accept neck scratches.

No but i got within punting range.

HEAVEN IS REAL

This place is so beautiful it’s upsetting.

This is phenomenal! I bet painting it was a joy. The fairyland loop trail is one of my favorite hikes. Actually painted on the trail in similar conditions a few years ago and couldnt finish before i had to flee the lightning. 🤣

Real busy, constantly going, but I’m having the time of my life here 💖
