turned 30 today 🍀 never a better time to share my work if you'd like! #oc

Digital painting of an angelic figure cradling a winged lantern, from which inky clouds of night are winding upwards. Where the clouds obscure the angel's eye, said eye becomes a brilliant starburst.

Digital painting of a lone figure sleeping on the beach, waves washing around their head and shoulders. From a glowing shape above their head, tearful fish spring in all directions, dreams escaping the boundaries of waking life.

A digital painting of an anthro character leaning proudly against the wing of his shiny propeller-plane.

Digital painting of a man looking at the viewer from inside his tiny mismatched lab. Repurposed containers around him are full of vivid red life-forms, made from twisting organs and not much else. Yes he does love them.

A little promotional card I made for my website update, featuring a morose looking figure gazing off to the distance. (This art is from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith.) Text reads, "The Tarot: and internet shrine." url attached in my post.

me as depicted by and next to old friends 💚

Scanned pencil drawing of two figures together, both very late 2000's/early 2010's middle and high school vibes, including the art style. they are best friends!!!!!

Scanned pencil drawing of two very anime weeb figures drawn together with nicknames, one standing with a (very disinterested) vulture and the other sitting with a rabbit. A general vibe of middle school friendship pervades the image.

A charmingly childish pencil drawing of two figures dancing the caramelldansen dance. The text goes along with the song-- "o-o-o-oaooa! o-o-o-owaohah!"

A scanned pencil drawing of two anime weeb figures drawn together, catboys packaged up to be mailed away. The text reads, "we comez in a pakage." more very best friend middle school business. Painfully dated but cuter for it.

ephemera pieces from the 90's/00's

A neon-orange membership card for "Video City USA," a no-doubt defunct video rental store in Biloxi, Mississippi. The card notes that it's open 24 hours and that movies are due back next day by 12 midnight. The signature of the owner has been blotted out.

A polariod photo of a large decorative lantern hanging over a storefront in japan. A pencil description has been erased from its borders, faintly suggesting that the photo is from 2003.

A promotional sticker for Dollmore, the ball-jointed doll company, featuring a photo of one of their products and a little blurb about how they definitely make dolls and also sell dolls and don't you want a doll??

fursona update 6.5 .................. my Thing

Drawings of her today during downtime. My memory-drawing is more of an iconic Pig huh....

Photo of ink drawings of a pig lying in her pen. The top one was drawn after looking at the scene and then walking away, and has more stylized shapes. The bottom one was drawn while directly observing and so is more realistic, but not perfect.

for my best friend's birthday back in may 🎂💞

Digital art of an anthro furry character, a cute sphinx with lots of pink and cream in her fur. She's sitting cutely atop a neatly frosted birthday cake, ringed with candied strawberries and puffs of cream, a reddish bow tied around the whole thing. Text reads: "Dolce, for Clockrobber. Happy Birthday!"

Digital drawing, portrait of a humanoid character who is soft creams and blues with sunny yellow accents. They look at the viewer with a cute little smile, all round shapes and sweetness. The text is their name, Honey.

Digital art, a humanoid figure with long soft rabbit-ears and little flowers growing across his neck. He's purple and white, a cute floral pin in his thick hair as he looks down at a slice of cake on his plate, pleased.

playing in heavypaint

Rough digital painting of a fat figure, hair swirling about him in a thick black void. Angular stars spark out from the bright blue underside of his hair. He looks at you with blank black eyes and a smirk that knows something you don't.

arpg entries are always a good artistic playground (april) #pouflons

Digital art. A gryphon-like character, fat with a dark body and long white neck, is viewed from behind. He's painting an abstract rendition of the dark and rainy city outside his giant window.

Digital art. A goat-like creature with dark scales and tentacle hair frolics in a patchwork-green field among the flowers. A dragonlike pet accompanies him cutely.

Digital art. A goat-like creature with dark scales and tentacle hair (A) complains to his mentor, another goat-like creature striped with what seems like seaglass (B). They're working together in a farm field, planting.

Text:
A: "Why do I have to help with this stupid stuff anyway? Can't their plants spore by themselves?" (Note: In the ocean, kelp reproduces with spores, not seeds.)
B: "Things are different on land. Planting seeds is an essential step."
A: "Well then maybe they should just give up on land!"
B: (threatening tone) "If you don't help our gracious hosts I will tell your father."
A: ".... It's just a few rows I guess."

long days at work 🧑‍🌾

Photo of part of an old barn, looking out a door from inside. Vivid green grass grows outside of the cool shadows of the weathered building.

Photo of two cute russet-red piglets standing on their mom, who is only partly in frame. A sibling pokes around elsewhere. They are extremely cute, of course.

Photo of a bark cat who is not doing her job at all, being pet by yours truly while she lays on her very own jacket.

Another long night in this dark city.... 🚬🐱 a design for Scatterstar Isles, now sold!

Digital art of an anthropomorphic sphinx-type guy with warm grey fur flecked with a lighter grey. He's dressed fairly modern-ly, with a leather gun holster-harness and a long dark coat hanging off his shoulder. He lights a cigarette as he looks at you with cybernetically modified eyes; between the smoke and his cyborg throat element, he probably sounds like shit. Text reads, "Investigative Insights: Curio Auction."

archives, 2021 // getting out alive

Digital painting - a stone arch flanked by layers of foliage frames a pink sunset sky over the ocean. Shipwrecks poke out of the water in the near distance. An anthropomorphic sphinx character holds a battered metal briefcase, watching on from shore for a long moment before he abandons his lifeboat and heads inland.

from the archive / event art for Scatterstar Isles, 2022

Digital art of two sphinx-like anthro characters, one in a distant, icy past and the other in a library in the present. Reading the words of a long-gone archivist, scraps and pieces carried away by the wind.... how mysterious!

shades of green 💚 curios for the Scatterstar Isles ARPG, both sold

Digital art of an anthro sphinx-like character with two extra robotic arms, protective gear, and an electrified two-pronged weapon. He has a serious gaze with one prosthetic eye and a medic's symbol on an armband. Text reads: "Against the Odds: curio auction."

Digital art of an anthro sphinx-like character with vivid green eyes (one a spiral) and cascading purple flowers among their hair. Dark stripes twist across their fur, and green scales cover a clawed hand; more scales cover their long tail, which is tipped with a golden snake head. A wicked dagger is held sinisterly to the side. Text reads, "Snake in the Grass: curio auction."

finished raffle prizes from a while back 🖤

Digital drawing of a human-looking guy with pointy elf ears and an edgy fantasy outfit. A white streak cuts through his long black hair and he looks off to the side with a grim expression. Text reads, "Kade: raffle prize for Havoklysm @ Toyhouse."

Digital drawing of an anthro dog-like guy with angel wings and various scars. He's got a scalpel in one hand and his own flesh in the other, having opened himself up to find black metal bones, false lungs, and a beating blue heart. This seems like a depressing revelation. Text reads, "Moral: raffle prize for mvtualfuture @ Bluesky."

angelic opposites 🌓 a little batch of one-off #adoptables (mirror's light and earth power are sold but the others could be yours....!)

A set of six digitally drawn characters with cutesy proportions and wings. In order:

Fireheart - red-skinned angel-devil sort of being with a cool leather outfit, a sweet smile with spooky red eyes, and a heart-shaped flame.

Spiked Spade - blackened extremities and spikes across their body, even poking holes in their checkered oversized hoodie. Leathery wings and a spaded tail.

Dark Visions - Black and purple outfit with yellow accents and chunky gold jewelry. Dark eyes with yellow/green/purple irises match the eye-markings on their wings.

Mirror's Light - short-ish locs up in a ponytail type situation, framing mirrored-orb eyes. wearing a labcoat-like outfit with mirrored leggings, or perhaps a mechanical body, underneath. Wings seem to be mechanical and futuristic.

Earth Power - green and brown patchwork skirt with some sort of animal pelt draped over it and a fox-like fluffy tail hanging off the back. Looking somberly at a white bird resting on their hand. Arguably the most normal-looking of the bunch.

Skylight - somewhat abstracted weirdo with a white body, floating sky-patterned arms and hands, and blue-grey hair whose color seems to extend onto the face and down the nose. One eye is bright, the other covered by a square of sky, and more shapes float off their body. Big wings in the back are also sky-cloudy.

sphinx in pink 💕 a little design update for an old adopt I got back recently! this one was raffled off on toyhouse last month ^^

Digital drawing of a pink sphinx character, with a purple mane, stripes, and a hand at the end of their tail holding a ring of keys. Peachy pink wings hover detached over their back. They're updated from a much older, lower-quality design/drawing from 2017. Text reads, "Sphinx in Pink."

a hot new manga has hit your bookstore in 2005.... i wish haha. two of my most beloved ocs starring in a cover repaint that i wish i could read <3 #oc #ocsky #artsky

A digital painting of two characters aboard a spaceship, closely intertwined with each other. One, hardly dressed, takes shelter in the other's arms; the other looks with worry down at him, holding a blue feather fallen from his severed wing. It's all very anime, naturally. Text reads: "BIO ANGEL: heart of your universe. Volume 2. Story and art by Machineheaven."
