The fourth is a redwood themed weasel with a shoulder-length undercut and markings inspired by a hermit thrush and wearing a big jacket. The fifth is a postcard-themed leucistic pigeon with afro puffs and a mail bag, with red and blue wing bars. Sixth is a sea lion colored and patterned like a marlin, with braids in a wave pattern.

made a new base -- an homage to the prodig-y one that served me so well back in the day! test driving it with some new little guys I'm pricing at 35usd each for now! 3 and 4 are pending!

four chibi-style anthro designs in a row. the first is a tiger whose stripes resemble shadows cast by jungle leaves, with dark green, curly hair. the second is a white cat with low navy blue spotting and a blue grid over their whole body like graph paper. the third is an autumnal jackalope with sticks for antlers wearing a red handkerchief and a blue coat. the fourth is a navy blue sea otter with white spots all over and fins like a coelocanth, and bright green highlights in their eyes and bioluminescent whiskers.

#artfight revenge for my friend feeniefoo who KNOCKED MY ASS FLAT with an AMV!! least I could do was a background! our otters hanging out kayaking and yakking :3

Digital art of two anthro sea otters in yellow kayaks, paddling down a shallow, slow river, smiling at each other. The closer one has shoulder-length brown hair in loose curls and cream fur with light brown arms and thighs, and wears an aqua life jacket. The further one is my fursona, with a cream face and paws, seafoam arms, and light brown legs and flippers. He has short blond hair, an orange life jacket, and colorblocked swim shorts. The characters are lined and the background is loose and painterly, with the sun casting dark shadows on the mossy rocks on the far bank and illuminating the tops of willows bright yellow-green.

attack for @justicebeetle.bsky.social but also for me lbr #artfight

digital drawing of a big buff superhero with his hand on the shoulder of a much smaller little superhero who resembles robin in many ways but isn't. The big guy has blond hair swept back, tanned skin, a srong nose and chin and sideburns, and a sparkling smile. He wears a blue/purple suit with a white collar, gloves, and a cape. He's saying "keep at it, buddy!" to the smaller guy, who is slouching, dejected, and whose costume is ripped and dirty.

#artfight attack for lorewyrm! I'm behind on posting oopsies

Digital drawing of a long, four-legged, wyrm-like creature with a harlequin mask and jester bell thingies comin off his head. His fur is teal, white, and orange, and he wears a ruffle collar. The design is inspired by artfight's Team Comedy. The creature is winding down the canvas, holding his long, twisting tail. He balances colorful juggling balls on his nose, has balloons tied to his tail, and holds cotton candy with the tip of his tail. Balloons drift in the background.

comm for a tumblr client!!

Digital illustration of an anthro character wearing a hi-vis jacket and waders releasing a harbor seal from a crate onto a beach. The character is a shark/donkey/koi, I'm told, and has pointed ears, a sharklike tail, and a blunt snout. He is mostly a maroonish color with splotches of cream and orange. The surface of the sand he and the seal are on is drawn, and a rectangle of sky behind them suggests the environment.

doodle of a neglected character

Digital drawing of an anthro ring-tailed lemur leaning back on an invisible comfy chair, holding like a gas station soda cup in one hand and appearing to be in the middle of saying something. He's got a lazy smile with half lidded eyes. His fur is a light blue-green kind of like the color of upholstery foam tbh, with white paws and ears and dark purple around his eyes, on his muzzle, and rings on his tail. He's wearing baggy pants, gauges, and a short-sleeved raglan style shirt. The body of the shirt is white and the sleeves are dark purple with a tropical floral pattern; the flowers are orange.

comm for @arlie.quest ! big dawg leading the parade, will you follow it? :3

Digital illustration of a macro, plush, quadruped dog walking down the middle of a downtown city street lined with pride flags. The illustration is circular, and the skyscrapers and lightposts bend around the subject in a fisheye effect. The character has fluffy, red-brown hair and freckles, and warm orange and brown fur (fabric?). It wears a rainbow collar with a lantern hanging from it and is smiling down at the camera. Its front paw is the only thing to break the circle border. The sky is filled with balloons and confetti.

:) Hi..... u already know I'm comin in with... Those Two Guys as all my examples LOL... i quote based on the specifics of ur idea but generally will be 120-200 for 2 chars!

Page with several drawings of two characters interacting. In the top left they're in superhero and villain costume with one putting the other in a headlock, top right they're embracing asleep on a sheet, middle they're in a car arguing, bottom left one is pinching the other's face and leaning in for an exaggerated kiss, and bottom right one is napping on top of the other's chest on the couch while he points a remote at an unseen TV. The characters are a buff, tan-skinned, auburn-haired, RBF-having guy and an expressive skinny pale guy with black hair with a rainbow streak.

Same 2 characters as previous image relaxing, drawn in a simpler style, one sort of laying across the other's lap.

Same 2 guys, with the skinny one lying on the other's outstretched legs, head resting on his tummy and looking up at him while he leans his elbow on the arm of the couch and rests his other hand on his buddy's shoulder. They're having a conversation musing about why people would possibly think they're dating. The lighting is sunsetty and there's out-of-focus takeout on the table in the foreground.

4 more! we got a lotta snarky grinners this time... and two older siblings of ocs in the first set. kind of a crazy pull since these were picked randomly

Pixel bust of a fluffy, blue-green and cream anthro shark with short lemon-yellow hair and eyes. He wears a pair of goggles on his head and has no ears, but a dorsal fin on the back of his head. He's grinning with sharp teeth.

Pixel bust of an anthro monkey with orange fur and tan skin smiling at the camera and showing pointed canines. He has fluffy hair stuck through a backwards hat and wears a yellow and white raglan tee.

Pixel bust of an anthro big cat that might be a snow leopard? He also has hair stuck through the hat hole and he's also grinning. His fur is shades of pale, cool brown, grey, and off-white. One eye is red and the other is turquoise. He wears a red collar with a turquoise lightning bolt charm and a white shirt with red sleeves, and a teal hat. His hair is off-white.

Pixel bust of an anthro calico cat smiling open-mouthed, the only one in the set not doing a cheeky grin. His fur is mostly black, with white on the lower face and chest and a splotch of orange over one eye. His eyes are warm greens, and he wears a collar that matches with a bell.

I did it guys I drew my fursona + pride art YIPPEE

Digital drawing of an anthro otter sitting at the edge of a pool with his feet in the water. He's rubbing the back of his neck in a sheepish gesture and smiling nervously. He has shaggy blond hair with a middle part, white face fur and forearms, teal fur on his neck and tail, seafoam upper arms, and light brown legs. He's wearing a shirt with stripes in the colors of the aroace pride flag and a queer flag bead bracelet, and orange shorts.

been doing some very very simple small binary headshots just because I needed to Draw My Characters again... used my wheel of names to pick the lucky ocs to Receive Art for the first time in 1 william years

small pixelly digital bust of an anthro shark character, the copout kind with fin "ears" and fluff. He's lime green with shades of yellow and orange and is wearing an unbuttoned shirt.

little pixelly bust of a toonish anthro monkey character of indistinct species. He has pink fur, a white face, a pink, heart-shaped nose, and fluffy textured hair. He's wearing a raglan with red sleeves and smirking.

pixelly bust of another indistinct anthro monkey. He has bright orange, fluffy hair and paler orange fur, and pale yellowish skin with freckles. His eyes are aqua and match the backwards baseball cap and baseball jersey he's wearing. He has a gold hoop earring on the ear we can see.

pixelly bust of a kragoc, a species by rivermakes that looks somewhere between a mammal and a reptile. This one has fur in shades of light, warm brown, cream, and white, and raccoonlike eye mask markings. Their ears are pointed and fluffy, and they have horns that are shaped like amanita muscaria mushrooms in an early stage of fruiting -- round, covered in white spots, and an orangey color. the character's eyes are green.

anotherrrr quick ota! those who REALLY know me know I used to make SO MANY primate adopts but I never reaaally got into the weeds with lemurs... well here's one!

Digital art of an anthro red-ruffed lemur. The art is sketchy and features a thigh-up drawing as well as a smaller, less-detailed fullbody without clothes. The character has dark maroon fur on the face, small pointed ears, forearms, and feet, and the rest of the fur is shades of rich orange and pinkish red. The back of the neck is white. They're very fluffy around the head, especially the cheek ruff, and have thick fur everywhere else on their body except the face, forearms, and feet. Their eyelids and palms are teal, and their eyes have yellow sclerae and magenta irises. They wear a black and white cropped raglan tee with a rainbow lightning bolt print over a fishnet shirt and black briefs, and a barbed chain necklace. In the smaller fullbody, the character has a buzz cut so only their cheeks are fluffy and not the top of their head.

I always miss world otter day 😭 but I did draw an otterish beast yesterday! a custom buizel for @ashtondeer.bsky.social :D

Digital design of an anthro buizel, a pokemon that resembles a weasel with two tails, fins on its forelimbs, and a life ring around its neck. This one is a sunsetty orange color with a pale belly. He has shoulder-length, wavy to curly warm brown hair with white tips. The life ring around his neck is red, as are his fins, and have retro-style stripes of maroon, red, orange, and yellow. The fins are also tipped with white. They're intended to resemble plane wings. He's also wearing goggles, which could be taken to be for swimming or for aviating. The fullbody is duplicated to the right with an added outfit: blue-green swim trunks and a green hawaiian shirt with yellow hibiscus flowers.

random design for today

Digital drawing of an anthro dog with short fur and floppy ears, mostly off-white with brown splotches and little colorful spots. They have shaggy off-white hair that covers one eye and falls to their shoulders. They're wearing a collar with an orange charm, a green and orange bomber jacket, light wash baggy overalls with orange blossom and polaroid camera shaped patches, a sleeveless white shirt, and a can tab as an earring. The vibe overall is summery, nostalgic, and warm, with oranges and blues contrasting.

fullbody for otterking! LOVES THIS CHARACTER SM an otter after my own heart

Digital drawing of an anthro southern sea otter. Their fur is off-white on their face and darkening shades of caramel to rich brown down the rest of their body. Their eyes, nose, inner ears, paw pads, and foot webbing is light blue. They're wearing an off-white sleeveless top tucked into baggy brown canvas high-waisted shorts with a black leather belt, and glasses. They're sitting, leaning back, and smiling at the camera. Surrounding them are doodles of sea life -- bull kelp, a purple urchin, and an orange ochre star -- against a seafoam background.

got a cute wah wip up for usd offers!

Crop of just the fullbody, with the clothes removed to show cherry blossom markings down one arm and that the torso and limbs are mostly a dark, tea-leaf green, with the lighter greens being concentrated on the head and back. There's a rainbow motif using pink to white to green that appears around their face stripes, on their back, and on their tail. Paw pads and nose are a deep purplish; tongue and eyes pink.

I really need people to know that lee is talking about this kind of take

screenshot "also cannot believe artfight thinks references are bad and cheating when we're literally in a world right now where gen AI can steal art with zero consequences"

screenshot "leonardo da vinci has been banned from artfight for his extensive use of references"

screenshot "gatekeeping the use of references in a free art event [...] is a choice that boggles the mind"

screenshot "girl did artfight really just say references are unacceptable". ron howard narrator voice: They didn't.

this took a suuuper long time lol, custom for sproutlette! it wanted a critter inspired by the melancholy vibe of a shoulder season cold beach, but heavy on the pastels... I went with a northern fulmar/otter gryphon kinda thing and added some long-tailed jaeger and brandt's cormorant spice!

Digital ref sheet of an anthro creature with the head of a northern fulmar, small otter ears, a long torso, back wings, paw hands, webbed feet, and a long tail with a feathered end. They have long, fluffy white bangs to one side. They have a resting melancholy expression. Their body is largely white, with pastel markings on their neck, shoulders, back, flanks, and legs. They have thin white whiskers on their elbows and flanks, and pearlescent scales on their arms. Their tail has long streamers on the two middlemost feathers like a jaeger. The ref consists of a main fullbody, a chibi wearing a pastel, retro windbreaker and shorts, a wing view, a view of the back of the torso, a tail view, and a color palette.

for something a little different here are all the slides from class project that have assets I drew

A presentation title slide. Yellow background with two blue squiggles like water in the upper left corner and green reeds across the bottom. The head and neck of a great egret come up on the right side in a clean lineless style with simplified shapes. Text on the slide reads "Comparing foraging rates of egrets across habitat types" with a list of redacted names.

Another presentation slide. Same background (yellow, squiggles, reeds). This one has text on the left and an illustration on the right in the same simple style, showing a grassy field area and a marshy area both covered in duplicated great and snowy egrets. The marsh has 20 great egrets and 15 snowy egrets, and the grass has 3 snowies and 5 greats. Text informs us about how many egrets were studied, where, and which species, and how much time was spent doing so.

The ending slide of a presentation. Same background as before, with only the text "Thanks! Questions?" and two illustrations of egrets. A snowy on the left and great on the right, both in exaggerated dancelike poses with wings out and one leg lifted. The great egret has a large fish in its bill, which is flopping and splashing sparkling water droplets.

last of those recent symmetrical designs -- a banded linsang :]

Digital drawing of an anthro banded linsang, a catlike creature related to civets and genets. They are tan with brown spots and stripes that resemble bones, and they have a sandy brown buzzcut. Their neck is long and they wear multiple chains, chokers, and a spiked collar. They have rings on both hands. Their right leg is made of semi-transparent amber with the bones visible inside it, as well as a few trapped insects. Their large eyes are also amber orbs. They wear several amber accessories, pendants and rings, and their striped tail transitions from tan to rich orange and brown.

the desk is just for legs

sketchy three-panel comic. The first panel is a POV view looking down at a cluttered desk, with my gull sona's webbed hands pushing a stack of notebooks aside, captioned "clean off the desk!" The second panel shows a laptop and plugged in graphics tablet sitting on the cleared desk space, captioned "set up my laptop!" The third panel shows my gull sona hunkering down in the chair, sitting way back on his lumbar vertebrae, immediately scooping up the tablet and laptop off the desk and putting them on his lap so he can thud his legs up onto the cleared desk space and work in this very bad posture.
