My third time growing garlic and I’m so damn happy that this has been the best harvest! 🧄

Happy Disability Pride Month! I was diagnosed with Crohn's 16 years ago, Lupus 3 years ago and Lymphoma last year (currently in remission). Its been difficult, but has also made me recognize that you never know what someone is going through health-wise. ❤️‍🩹

I was about to start another new project when I came across this piece 😅 It's been two years and I stopped halfway through the low poly stage. I really need to get back to it some day. Concept by @spookystirfry.bsky.social

Work in progress of a 3D character model based on a demon hunter concept by @spookystirfry.bsky.social. The model is of an older woman missing her left arm, left eye, and left leg. Many items adorn her outfit, including the head of a demon, a pistol, a dagger, and many bags and pouches.

Aw thanks! 😊 I know its still wip, but I think sharpening the edges of the crystal and adding more distressed wear throughout would help. And just for inspiration, take a look at hand painted mini figs!

I might be a bit too excited after an announcement for a certain remake. 😅

Here are a couple of my favorite portraits that I worked on this year. Also, the best pet name I’ve seen so far goes to this kitty named Squeeps!

Going through some old external hard drives and found some art from 2016. 💾 Can you tell what game I was playing at the time?

I just realized, today is Ripley’s birthday! I can’t believe she is 3 already! 🎉

In case anyone is curious, I use a combination of chalk pastels and pastel pencils. My favorite brands are Stabilo CarbOthello and Sennelier.

Happy #caturday! It’s been awhile since I worked with chalk pastels, but I had a lot of fun with this portrait :)

My partner and I went to the Tulip festival up in Skagit Valley and it was amazing! This was the first time in a long while that I felt well enough to travel and we had such a lovely day. My cheeks started aching because I was smiling so much. 😅

After 10 years of infusions at the hospital, I had to take injections at home (for the first time) for my chronic illness. I made cookies as a reward 😅

Happy #nationalpuppyday❤️ It’s been almost 3 years since we brought Ripley into our lives! I wish I took more photos of her when she was a puppy, but she grew up so fast!
