Also trying (again) to figure out how dramatic I want the lighting to be on this one. I am not a fast artist, and this is because I just… muck about, mostly. Eventually I hit the ‘eureka!’ moment. This one’s been eluding me for months. — #art #wip #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Henry

A drawing of Henry with his hood up, goggles on, and his respirator held in one hand. Behind him are flowers. Bright orange light is cast on his face, and the shadows are stark and pink.

Y’know, I never draw Errick in any kind of mask. Masks are such a THING in Alpha Base, and he’s the commander. He should totally get one of my impractical cyberpunk designs. Not going to be beating the furry allegations with this one either, though. — #art #wip #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Errick

A cropped screenshot of a rough sketch of Errick in a helmet and mask. The reference pane shows a loon with its beak open.

Star Bunny🌟 — I updated this one over the weekend so that I could turn it into a wallpaper for my phone. — #art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Henry

Digital art of Henry from behind. He’s looking back over his shoulder, and his long black hair has the shape of rabbit ears within it, outlined in white and speckled near the ends with stars. He’s holding a pet rabbit on his shoulder, and it, too, has stars on its forehead.

Because I don’t have enough hobbies to try to cram into my limited free time outside of The Gosh-darned Jorb, I am attempting to comprehend the baby step beginnings of Knitting. I have so far made. Two Very Tiny Balls (m’balls). They will be the victims for my inevitable fuck-uppery.

A photo of two very small, amateurish but still adequate yarn balls in orange and a kind of beige-brown. They are on a glass topper drafting table with work-in-progress art, a sketchbook covered in stickers, and a distant paintbrush.

Kintsugi — #art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Heinrich

A digital portrait of Heinrich in black, gold, and sepia tones. He has dark eyes, thick dark eyebrows, and long black hair fanned out in dramatic tendrils as he faces to the left, snarling. There are cyberpunk stylized black dog ears atop his head, outlined in gold and a translucent mask materializing over his mouth and nose. Its in the shape of a wolf’s skull. The bottom jaw is black and the top is white like bone. He’s wearing a black jacket with gold trim. The background is composed of geometric rectangles in dark brown and spattered with gold against a pale yellow like paper.

BIG. PILE. OF BOOKS. yeeeesssss muahaha

A stack of graphic novels from Iron Circus, included both volumes of Unsounded, Vattu, Rice Boy, The Last Delivery, The Worst Journey in the World, Shadoweyes, and The Girl Who Flew Away

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 13

And the last one!! \o/ Now I can take a break. T_T — Heinrich would, in fact, be wearing a helmet. But then again, if he’s shooting and driving at the same time, then the situation MUST be dire. — For @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 challenge #art #oc || #AlphaBase #Heinrich

Lineart of Heinrich on a motorcycle aiming a gun at something behind him.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 13

Found Family — The second last piece remaining for the #DrawEverythingJune2026 challenge by @adorkastock.com — #art #oc || #AlphaBase #Elliot #Orvin #Jacob #Herratt #Heinrich

Lineart of Elliot, her partner Orvin, her uncle Jacob and his husband Herratt, and Heinrich all sitting on a couch together. Everyone looks very happy and content, except Heinrich, who seems a bit out of sorts. Herratt is saying something to him.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 12

RunRunRun — One of the last three entries that I have left for @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 — #art #furry || #ProphecyOfTheCircle #Ilander #Myrnak #Verd

Lineart of three furries running towards the viewer. Myrnak is up front and looks determined. Ilander, behind him, is yelling and has one hand outstretched. Off to the right, Verd has tripped while trying to catch up and had both hands out to catch himself.

At the Victoria Pride parade today with @timmcosfur.bsky.social 🐱🏳️‍🌈

A photo of me in a CareBears shirt and rainbow over shirt, beside Tim in his blue cat fursuit in downtown Victoria

A photo of Tim from a low angle. He’s looking down and doing double V signs with both paws.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 11

Verdict: signs of what might have been a little pancreatitis episode a couple days back and early stages of kidney disease. I kiiiiiinda figured. It’s only stage 1, borderline stage 2, though, so we just make sure he’s well hydrated and watch for any changes.

A top down photo of Aleksi, the light orange and white long haired cat. He’s sprawled out on the carpeted floor, happy to be home.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 11

Handsome mandsome. He’s no longer acting acutely sick. Thank goodness? But wish me luck at the vet all the same. This’ll be the first annual vet visit I’ve had with him where when they ask if I have concerns, I have to sigh, steeple my fingers and go “Yes.” Cats shouldn’t be allowed to get old.

A photo of Aleksi, a light orange and white long-haired cat, in a perfect loaf, as viewed from directly head on. He has very very dark eyes (his pupils are almost always in big, round mode).

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 11

Back to just sketches for the last few entries of @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 challenge. #art #furry #birdsona #batsona || #Tim #Bently

A drawing of a bat furry and a barn owl furry in dramatic mid-flight.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 10

Doing the do-not-vomit watch over a usually not very vomity cat who suddenly decided to hork both a huge hairball AND all of his dinner tonight. Probably nothing? But man. You never know with cats. Especially old boys like mine. An unusual happening is an unusual happening, you know? >>

A photo of Aleksi, a light orange and white long-haired cat with white mitts and a white face. He’s lying on the couch, looking as though gravity is veryvery heavy.

The Boys Are Back In Town — Countdown until I (hopefully) finish @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 challenge. Four to go! x_x I had to draw my guys eventually. Errick gets the apple box. 📦 — #art #oc || #AlphaBase #Heinrich #Errick #Paul

A drawing of the main villainous (sort of) trio from Alpha Base, with Heinrich on the left, Errick in the centre, and Paul on the right. Each is shaded in a different colour. Heinrich and Paul are standing on ground level, but Errick is probably about a foot shorter than either of them and is standing on the lowest step of a staircase. Errick’s got his arms around both and he’s grinning. Both Heinrich and Paul have handguns. Heinrich looks aloof. Paul looks like he’s very happy to be there.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 6

Batch three! @adorkastock.com - #DrawEverythingJune2026 — #art #wip

A drawing of two tikedi, Aurorin and his brother Annen, in a fight. They’re obviously brothers but Annen is physically a bit bigger and stronger.

A drawing of Sethrin, a dark haired young woman with pale skin and freckles, charging with a katana in hand.

A drawing of Jericho, a pale young man with scraggly facial stubble and long, light-coloured hair, faceplanted into the ground and giving the viewer an unconvincing thumbs up. The shaky speech balloon over his head reads “Doing Fine” with an upside-down smiley face.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 6

Batch two for @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 — #art #wip

Line art of Derec, a canine-like furry with short curly hair, short triangular ears at the sides of his head, digitigrade feet with three-toed paws, and a long whippy tail. He’s wearing shorts and a wrap around his hips, with one hand on his waist and the other holding an umbrella over his shoulders.

Line art of Kirie, a furry of the same species as Derec. She has long, curly hair and much longer ears. She’s wearing a shirt, short pants, and a cape, and posing with a knife in each hand.

Line art of Ezra, a hybrid of tikedi (the furry species that Derec and Kirie represent) and tekk - a flying reptilian species. He has fins on either side of his head and large bat-like wings. He’s posing dramatically with wings extended and one hand raised.

Line art of Elliot curled up with a fluffy cat. She has thick, tightly curled hair, and she’s curled around the cat with it tucked against her chest.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 6

Didn’t get all of them finished before my brother came to visit, but I did get a lot of @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 prompts drawn, at least. I’ll post them here in batches and sometime, someday, I’ll finish my favourites in full colour. 👍 — #art #wip

A drawing of Security officer Chana posing on a chair. She has wavy dark hair, medium brown skin, a round face, dark eyebrows, and a confident smile. She’s wearing white shorts and a sleeveless top that shows off how athletic she is.

A drawing of Roderick on horseback. He’s pale, with scraggly dark hair in a ponytail, a short beard, and a miserable look on his face. He’s wearing a capelet over his otherwise drab clothes.

Line art of Angela reclining, leaning ln one hand with the other extended to lightly touch her ghost moose companion, Alces. Alces’ huge head is inclined passively towards her. She looks surprised and a bit in awe. Angela has long hair pulled into a ponytail. She’s wearing a simple sweater and blue jeans.

Line art of Orvin in shorts, socks, and a tank top, playing his shovel guitar. His back is to the viewer.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jul 3

It is now! My birthday! I've been around now for 41 years, and I've spent a significant amount of that time just drawin' stuff. As is Bluesky tradition: I'm humbly requesting a few reposts of any of my art, if'n you so please. :D 🎉🎂💙 -- #art

An energetically-posed cyberpunk portrait of Tim’s fursona. His mouth is wide open and he’s leaned back towards the right of the canvas with both fists up like he’s mid-dance move. He’s a blue cat with a white chin, darker blue stripes on his cheeks, a tail striped in tans and greys and blues, and curly blonde-tipped grey hair. He’s wearing an eccentric outfit in black, vivid turquoise, and a hint of blue, including a heavy coat with a flared out collar, a capelet, a cravat marked with a big green pawprint, and big pockets near the bottom of the coat with another little pawprint on the flap. He has a black and aqua-green collar on, a blue shirt, blue pants, and a green belt. At his hip are little plushies of Lucario and a Mudkip. The background is a gesture painting of a cyberpunk city, also in bright green and blue.

A digital painting of a brown and white hare with dark brown ears dramatically leaping into the air, its mouth open in a silent scream. The background is an overlap of two triangles the follow the hare's general mid-air body shape - one red triangle and one goldenrod yellow underneath.

A digital art piece of Paul getting pinned to the floor by Heinrich, who is in the form of a large, shaggy, brown wolf-man. Paul is a young man with bleached blonde hair, dark jeans, a heavy gray-brown sweatshirt, and a red collar. His expression is rightfully terrified, and he’s looking at the viewer as if pleading for help. Heinrich’s face is barely visible through the curtain of his long dark hair, but he is also eyeing the viewer, and not in a friendly way. The background is simple, in pale yellow and orange, featuring geometric shapes to border the two characters. There is a shadow bisecting the piece diagonally.

A digital drawing of Henry rubbing tiredly at one eye and squinting while a crack of bright golden stripe of light breaks the blue-tinted darkness, painting itself straight down his face. He’s wincing, his hair is a mess, and he’s still wearing his goggles on top of his head.

“Pass me that, would you?” — #art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Herratt #Jacob — For #DrawEverythingJune2026 by @adorkastock.com

A digital art piece in shades of earthy brown, featuring Herratt - a broad, heavily bearded fellow with brown skin and a mane of curly brown hair - standing in a corridor beneath ductwork, and holding a spool of cable. He’s passing the end if the cable up to someone who’s only visible as a dark-skinned hand and a tuft of equally dark hair. It’s his husband, Jacob, who’s busily fixing -something- as always.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 20

“You MISSED.” — Another for @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026! — #art #oc #ocart #furry || #ProphecyOfTheCircle #Shanka #Balta

A drawing of two furry characters - Shanka, who’s mostly gold furred with curly blonde hair and face markings, and his brother Balta, who’s primarily brown furred with slightly darker straight hair and similar markings to Shanka. They’re both wearing orange and blue shorts with a sort of short skirt on top featuring a triangle motif. Shanka is limping, holding his left leg which has been struck at the knee by an arrow. Damningly, Balta is carrying a bow. There’s a definite argument happening between the two.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 19

Winding down by painting with the brightest of colours, apparently. #art #wip || #ProphecyOfTheCircle #Shanka

A screenshot of part of a work in progress art piece in Procreate, featuring Shanka - a furry character with long ears, curly blonde hair, gold fur, and a dog-like face. He’s looking mad, with his head angled down but his eyes up at whoever has offended him so. He’s painted in a very saturated yellow and rosey orange against a bright blue background.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 19

At @ulzaorith.bsky.social’s book launch tonight and aaaaaauuuugh I’m both excited to read this AND excited to get back into writing my own. Listening to author’s read from their own stuff always makes my inspiration spark. Good words, Astra! Very very good words. ✨

A photo of the hardcover copy of Astra Crompton’s Battle of Heroes on a table at the Selkirk Cafe. There’s a red cloth bag, the edge of a white hat, and a DSLR camera visible in the shot as well.

Sometimes the only way to keep my brain working through the whole workday is to drag it along with my pencil. 😵‍💫 Stay Awake Sketchbook Doodles. — #art #sketch #sketchbook #oc || #AlphaBase #Henry || #chicken 🐓

A photo of an open sketchbook featuring Henry dressed head-to-toe in badly fitting, ragged clothes, including boots and gloves thar are too big, pants that are too short, multiple straps holding it all together, and a frayed capelet over the whole thing. He has goggles and a respirator mask on, and has an overstuffed backpack at his feet full of books and miscellaneous items, including one rod with a radioactive warning label on the side. He’s leaning against a wall with one hand, has one leg crossed against the other, and is holding what appears to be a street sign behind his back. The caption at the bottom reads “Henrys is Bugs” (author’s note: because he’s skinny like a stick bug)

A photo of an open sketchbook featuring a pen and pencil portrait of a very fluffy, fancy chicken’s head. It has a very severe expression on its face, which is haloed by feathers.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 18

Back to actually finishing some of these - featuring Lucinda (AKA Lucy), my Irish Comms officer, on a bit of shore leave between deep space science missions. ☀️ For @adorkastock.com’s #DrawEverythingJune2026 challenge as I sloooowly catch up. >> — #art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Lucinda #Lucy

Lucy, a pale skinned woman with curly deep pink hair that covers one eye. She’s in a dark pink bikini and stretched out on lounge chair in the sun. In the background are neon pink & orange palm tree silhouettes and the words “Wish you were Here”

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 16

I’m a little behind on #DrawEverythingJune2026, but not by much. Hoping I can catch up this weekend. In the meanwhile, a selection of WIPs for ye~

A close-up of Lucinda having a great time in the sun-bathing pose. She’s white-skinned, grinning widely, and has a cute little upturned nose and curly fuchsia hair that settles over her right eye.

A snippet of a drawing of two furry characters, Shanka and Balta, mid-argument. They’re uncoloured but on a goldenrod yellow backdrop. Balta, on the right, has a bow over one shoulder.

A close-up of Herratt, the heavily bearded and curly haired communications specialist in Alpha Base, looking apprehensive and holding up a cable.

A snippet of a morose looking Roderick on horseback. He has straight, messy dark hair that’s pulled back into a ponytail and a close cropped beard, both streaked with gray, and he’s wearing a capelet over his otherwise rather plain clothes.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 10

The WIP is WIPening. Boy’s got ears now. ✨ — #art #wip #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Heinrich

A closeup of a work-in-progress portrait of Heinrich. It’s sepia-toned, he’s facing left and snarling, and there are now tall pointed dog-like cybernetic ears appearing through his long, dark hair. They’re black with gold highlights, and seemingly transparent - the lines of his hair showing through are also gold.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 9

“Don’t worry, he’s nice!” — #art #oc #ocart #furry || #ProphecyoftheCircle #Kalder

A scan of a pencil drawing of a tikedi (a kind of dog-like furry species) smiling widely and wickedly while facing to the left of the canvas. He has shaggy fur, large ears at the side of his head, a toothy grin, and a mohawk. In the background his face is surrounded by a halo of white.

Meghan Taylor@talonserena· Jun 8

POV: You are about to be called something reprehensible. — #art #doodle #sketch #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Henry #Errick

A ballpoint pen doodle on purple notepaper of Henry, featuring the messiest attempt ever to pull his long hair back, and Errick, who is so short that he’s just a pair of eyes and the top of his curly-haired head. Henry is giving the viewer a scrutinizing look of mild disdain. Errick’s eyebrows are just pure Mad.
