Painted some of my favorite Scarlet/Violet pokemon recently :)

Maushold was basically created in a lab to destroy me, but there is something to be said for a tiny pink gremlin with a warhammer. I love them both so I had to paint themmm

I drew @elleskinner.bsky.social 's cat Scribble, I was struggling with the perspective so it ended up very different than normal #illustration #art

I tried to chibify the sword and shield dogs. Sword dog, sure, he's looking elegant like a tiny little my little pony.

And then there's Shield ahaha

Vex doodle!

Been thoroughly enjoying #TLOVM. I feel like each season is better than the rest and the adaptation choices are getting really interesting 👀

Catober 9 & 10: Stars & Small

A kitty flying through the night sky and a kitty that is making due with a box that might be slightly too small to sit in 🤔

Hen and Wren.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen and a Wren regarding each other quizzically. The hen stands in a patch of wild grasses whilst the wren perches on a small, leafless shrub in front of her. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The drawing is finely wrought and intricate. The piece is roughly the size of a business card.

#birdtober 9: ruby-crowned kinglet!

Little guy alert!

Reference for this (and most others) from iNaturalist w/ CC0 licensing

This hatching pattern from Halftone Hospital is my favourite thing in the world right now and I will stick it on EVERYTHING.

#art #bird #birb #ink

Ink drawing of a ruby-crowned kinglet perched on a branch facing the viewer with his butt tilted in the air. You can see his little ruby crown, which is emphasized with the application of a hatching texture scanned from a security envelope. He has a determined expression.

Had more birds suggested for sketch requests and oh gosh, twist my arm, right?

Stellar Jay is one of my personal favorites (they scream so distinctively) but the other two were fun to discover!

Catober 07 "Lamp" & Catober 8 "Make-Up"

I already used candle as a lantern so I thought: back-up plan, shadow puppets!

For "make-up" my excuse is I have been a sailor moon nerd my whole life and I had to XD

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Talamanca Hummingbird from the May #BirdWhisperer

I was really excited by the composition of the photo so I chose to focus on those shapes first and foremost.

I really like the light greens of the plants growing on the stump vs the background, it really pleases me

Days 5 & 6 of #Catober

The original plan for day 5 was a cat chewing on a houseplant, but that behavior kept looking real uncanny valley for a cat that acts like a person so I went with plan B.

The kitten doodling makes me so happy :3
