Hey there! I collated all of my Baba Yaga drawings for Baba Yaugust 2024 and 2025 into two coloring books and I'm pretty excited how they all turned out. If you want one, I can ship worldwide. Just DM me for prices. But even if you don't get one, I wanted to show them off. #babayaugust #babayaga

DECK the Halls 02. Queen of Cats. A necklace of bird/rodent skulls and a crown of tiny ribcage bones. And a neck ruffle. She is the queen of cats. But all cats are the queen of cats, so it's a shared title.

DECK the Halls 01. Jack of Books. This is going to be interesting. This took longer than I thought, of course, so we'll see how my approach changes as we go. I ran of out time for color. I like to post the ones I'm not happy with as well as the ones I like. Feel free to try one or two if you like.

I'm not sure how many of them I'll get to but my idea for December was to do a royal suit card for random stuff. This is the list I generated in case you want to join in with a quick sketch or two.

Baba Yaugust 25. Taxidermist. (Like last year, Baba Yaugust seems to be lasting far past August but I'm determined to complete it.) This Yaga flies on her winged alligator with her fox-headed vulture on her shoulder. Her eyes are the glass eyes of animals, in this case, a goat and a tiger.

The second one was a French anime called Arco about a time-traveling little boy who visits a girl from our not-too-distant future. I wasn't 'all in' on the character design but it was a really good story.
I think the Candy doc will be on Prime and I think the Arco animation will be on Netflix.
