My take on the #finfolk prompt is a Lovecraftian Deep One! Meet "The Innsmouth Gaze," a big-eye denizen with tentacled charm and tubby snailfish friends. Original drawing is available.

Thanks @MabGraves!

Is a 22 day early "birthday favor" too soon?

A "If I've done anything you appreciate pls repost/boost/give to anyone's mutual aid/emergency commission posts"?

My basic needs are met, but I'm not in position to help more than repost/boost so giving to those in need is like a birthday gift for me

Hi I'm new here. Just trying out with not much expectation. I like singing. But I'm here to talk only. I'm a bit shy sometimes.

My latest for the #spellbook prompt is a WIP! Meet the "Witchcraft in Waiting" toad, daydreaming in Elphaba's hat instead of studying. 🐸 I'm painting this one in oil! Original will be available.

This fluffy red Chow Chow puppy is here to celebrate National Dog Day with you!

Dogs give us so much, this original painting was donated to help pets in need. My love for animals is why they are a regular subject.

I'm mad for Halloween, so I'm thrilled to get a head start on Mab Graves's Drawlloween prompts! My traditional art process is slow, but I'm ready to create as much as I can. I've included her list for anyone who wants to draw along.
