New painting! Purple Rain -Great Blue Heron 🪶 16x20" Acrylic of Canvas I had a lot of fun painting this one, I dunno why I've started to default to herons when I'm not sure what subject to paint, but I'm not complaining :D Prints available in my shop www.inprnt.com/gallery/skid...

I was digging through some art folders and found an unfinished otter sketch from a few years back, strangely, I like it in its unfinished state, I think it gives it a weathered look.

Reposting some old art cause I have nothing new to share x.x I still like how this Jared pic came out from last year's Yeehawgust prompt: sharpshooter. Jared's a fun antagonist to write and get in the headspace of. He has layers, many of them dickish, but does the job #Skytown
