Non-mammal pets could be a bird, fish, reptile, snake, or even a bug 🪲 If you want, the animal doesn't even need to be a pet of yours. If you'd like me to draw a niche specific herptile, I got you.

my favourite sketches from the leopards I've done 💖 I'm a momma's [they], so mother and cub big cats make me sentimental

two pencil sketches of a mother leopard and her cub. the left shows the cub popping out of the grass to playfully chew on it's mother's cheek as she lays down. the second is the mother resting her chin on the cub's head, they both look comfortable and happy. they could be nuzzling each other. when scanned for posting the tone of the paper was edited to a warm light yellow and the pencils are a dark desaturated purple.

leopard studies!! I love big cats. and small cats. and medium cats.

Sketchbook page of two leopards, one is a full boy of a leopard walking, but I didn't draw it's spots. The other is a bust from the shoulders up, of a leopard yawning and showing it's large canine teeth. This one does have rough spots sketched in. These were done with pencil, and when scanned to share digitally I edited the colours to be a warm reddish brown.

Footsteps in the dark

Illustration of a blue bunny getting nervous out alone in the woods at night. It can feel that it’s being watched, as red paw prints of an unseen creature follow and encircle it.

some older studies of horses, one of my favourite animals to draw for many years now!

Two digital sketches studying quarter horses. The left is standing still with a light colour mane and tail while the horse on the right is rearing up, it looks playful but her ears are a bit pinned. This horse has a short dark mane and tail. Both horses have harnesses on and the drawing is done in a sepia tone.

sketches of Archer I did before his portrait 🪻

The previous sketches of Archer are seen in the top left of the page in colour--green and blue. The rest of the sketchbook page is filled with various studies of larkspur and forget me not flowers done in pen and marker in purple and blue.

I'm told you were the best.

#haruurara

A simplistic painting paying tribute to the Japanese race horse, Haru Urara. In the painting Haru Urara is running free on a lush, green pasture under a bright, blue sky. With the text "Haru Urara" both in Japanese and romaji, along with the year from 1996 to 2025 on the top of the painting.

seconding this, it's great that they complied and removed the AI, but as a company I previously trusted that trust is now on thin ice

good first step. You have to do more and do better, @jukeboxprint.bsky.social. show solidarity with the community that is a huge chunk of your userbase; maybe hire some feature artists to do a monthly sticker design? Give discounts to art professionals? and get rid of your AI autoresponder.
