she is NOT ALLOWED ON THE TABLE but we're all laughing too hard to reprimand her!!!
a cat curled up under a tablecloth that's folded over on top of her, peeking out with one eye and a paw barely visible.

a bonus reindeer has hit the toyhouse... witch's brew!
a caribou design on my base. this one is dark purples with bright purple bubbly markings, gooey lime green hooves, markings like eyes, long emo hair and pointy, twisting antlers striped black and white. they're wearing a black leather full body harness with green metal and attached leather bat wings.

🍂🪵REINDEER ARE UP LFG!!! YIPPEE!!! YAYY!!! 🦌☕
they're based on fall drinks, and you can get em over on toyhouse for 60usd each -- it's possible to claim here but I'm juggling two sites and you gotta have or make toyhouse to buy anyway 🤧
sheet of reindeer adopts! There's a pumpkin spice latte one, a mulled cider one, a salted maple pecan latte one, a london fog one, a snickerdoodle hot cocoa one, a campfire s'mores mocha one, a spiced pear chai one, and a spiced cranberry spritzer one!

want to do something for native folks today but don't have cash to spare? PLEASE go leave a comment to undam the Eel River!! it doesn't take too long, and the comment period ends the 30th!!

tinyurl.com/undameel
front cover of a zine I made for class LOL. It's titled Undamming the Eel. it has a picture of a river from above with text boxes talking about the river's size, protected status, and dams blocking a chunk of its watershed. Back cover of the zine. Informs that a plan is in place to remove the dams, put in a new diversion facility with a strict cap on water diversion by season, and give ownership of the land to the Round Valley tribes. It asks you to leave a comment for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission urging them to approve this decommissioning of the dams and non-project use of the land so this plan can become a reality as soon as possible.

and what if there were more sneak peeks. guys we're getting close to done
Cropped screenshot of caribou design where all you can see is a hoof and some of the character's side. It's an overall pale creamy color with light brown swirls, stripes, and splotches, and tiny specks of white and brown like cinnamon. Crop of a reindeer's flank and tail. This one is rich reddish-brown with a dark stripe on its side flanked by yellow, it has white spots on the top of its tail, and there are little leaves, redwood branchlets, and a pinecone in its fur. Crop of a reindeer's chest wearing a harness with a honeycomb pattern and a honey stick charm hanging from the collar. The fur we can see is white with dark flecks, and some patchy tan splotches.

there's also an intermediate fall plumage where I'm wearing earth tones but still accessorizing
sorta comic showing three species of birds in breeding and nonbreeding plumages, labeled "summer" and "winter". The summer plumages are much more colorful and the birds are looking cute and sexy, and the winter birds are drab and just sitting there. Below that is two self portraits, also labeled "summer" and "winter". In the summer, I'm wearing bright colors, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, eye makeup, and nail polish and my outfit is mutiple layers and different cuts. In the winter, my hair is shaggier and duller in color and I'm wearing a blue-grey hoodie and dark blue jeans, with no accessories at all. Text below the drawing reads "I am what some ornithologists would call an alternative strategist", referring to the Humphrey-Parks system of distinguishing bird plumages.

who would like some more choice fungi
A young Amanita muscaria beginning to open, with a deep red cap dotted with white spots of the universal veil. One billion small yellow mushrooms growing on a stump. They're probably sulfur tufts. A small brown mushroom with a flat cap and white at the base of the stalk. Probably a pinkgill, possibly a redwood rooter. Hand holding a large, whitish mushroom with a concave cap like a trumpet and a thick, stout stalk. Some sort of Russula.

is it too early for sneak peeks. is it too early for reindeer. is it too late for falloween
Cropped screenshot of a caribou design's face. Their fur is warm, soft orangey colors with white fluff, and their eyes are orange. They're wearing a collar with a checkerboard pattern of oranges and browns and yellows. Another cropped caribou screenshot. This one is in a halter and a brown leather harness with a collar, the kind a draft horse wears. Their fur is warm ambers with dark brown flecks and auburn neck fluff and their eyes are green. The collar has green gingham fabric inlaid across the front. A third cropped caribou screenshot. This one has mottled cool grey fur on their face, bright orange eyes, and antlers made of steam or fog. Final caribou screenshot. This one is warm, darker browns with a splash of white on their muzzle. Their antlers are branches with fall leaves turning.

base revamp comes with a bunch of different mix and match tack options I'm excited to use teehee
Digital lineart of an anthro caribou with antlers wearing a draft horse harness for pulling stuff adapted for a bipedal body and a bridle and reins. The same lines, wearing a halter and a full-body leather harness like for humans.

check out the animal.
Photo of a fisher, Pekania pennanti, a medium-sized brown mustelid with round ears, beady eyes, a long body, and large claws. This one is in its dense winter coat, so it's extra round.

fisherrr wip personal design #ocsky #furry (do tags work)
Sketchy digital drawing of an anthro fisher (a mustelid, like a marten). He's a big guy with a round belly, sleepy eyes and stuck out tongue. he's allover dark brown, darker at the extremities including the muzzle. He's wearing a forest green sweater, tan work pants, and an orange and green baseball cap with a fishhook through the brim.

Ween
really grainy pic of my wirt over the garden wall halloween costume (tall pointy red hat, blue cloak). it's very dark and I'm walking away from the camera on a path covered in leaf litter and you can't see anything else me hitting the dab in the costume in the woods at night amidst trees and fallen logs approaching the camera from deeper in the woods with one hand on a branch and the other holding a plush Eastern bluebird (it's beatrice!)

can I offer you a fungus in this trying time
A shaggy mane mushroom growing amongst redwood sorrel, white with a tall, unopened cap that has shaggy-looking peeling. A small, bright red mushroom growing in redwood duff. Probably a waxcap, maybe a Western witch's hat My hand holding the stem of a mushroom, underside of the cap towards the viewer. It's probably a slippery jack, a bolete. There are redwood needles stuck to its cap, and the underside is porous, not gilled. A collection of small charming pale yellow mushrooms growing amidst some moss. They're probably sulphur tufts.

qrp with your meme redraws

charliestairs the world 🔥
OCs drawn over a graphic with the text "beware all christians you could be speaking to a homosexual online! they communicate through phone and computer!" accompanied by a a photo of a shirtless man on a couch with a phone and a man in underwear, sneakers, and a big hoodie squatting on the floor to use a laptop that's on a table. The shirtless guy is drawn over with howlhawks' oc Charlie, a hunky, heavily tattooed guy with tan skin and short auburn hair and a goatee. The pantless guy is drawn over with my oc Alistaire, a pale twinky guy with short black hair with a rainbow streak. He's on tumblr looking at shirtless guys. Drawover of the "my knees hurt from sucking dick" "what were you sucking dick or something" comic. Charlie is the one saying his knees hurt, Alistaire is the one accusing him of sucking dick before he's finished talking. Drawover of a screenshot of a tiktok where Alistaire is in the bottom of the frame, seated, holding a drink in a tall fancy glass and talking. The caption is "my toxic trait is if I find out someone doesn't like me, I try to make it worse". Drawover of the picture of a guy holding a Monster energy and smiling scary style with a snapchat caption "kill". It's my oc he looks fucked up

anniversary piece for ashtondeer and his bf! this took way longer than I meant for it to but I'm super pleased w it ^_^
Digital piece of two anthro characters walking through a detailed landscape. There's an orange and purple ferret with binoculars and a golden-crowned sifaka with orange hair and a backpack. The background is modeled after Washington state. Mount Rainier is visible in the distance, an eagle is silhouetted in the sky, deciduous trees and ferns line the trail to the right side of the canvas and the shadows and branches of conifers on the right suggest the characters are about to enter the forest. The distant hills to the left surrounding a lake are covered in fireweed, a bright pink wildflower, and one such flower pokes up in the close left corner. Miner's lettuce and red columbine are also blooming along the path. A western tiger swallowtail butterfly, a yellow butterfly with black striping, perches on the close ferns on the right side.

photo of a fist (belonging to the photographer) being held out over a view from above of someone's window and the ground. He's wearing a beaded bracelet with blue beads and letter beads that say breaking bad. In the window, which is out of focus in the background, you can see a cardboard cutout of a human figure. The same photo, but now the fist is out of focus and the window is in-focus. The cardboard cutout is of Jesse Pinkman breaking bad.

Photograph of a Eurasian blue tit, a small songbird that is yellow beneath and blue above, with a white face marked by a black line from the eye meeting a chinstrap that wraps around the nape, and a blue cap. The back is greenish.

another fairly quick design! guess the bird :3
Digital drawing of an anthro gray fox. They have blue arms and flanks, a blue-green back, a blue tail, and the upper half of their face. Their chest and belly are yellow and the inner side of their legs and lower half of their face are white. There's a black streak down their chest, a black stripe down their tail and a black tail tip, a few random black spots on their shoulders and flanks, a black streak from their eye to the back of their head, and a black stripe down the top of their muzzle. Their neck is also black. They're wearing a dark green collar with a tan or burnt orange or dark yellowish oak leaf charm.

may as well post the finished cleaned up ref(s) of this cutie that sold a bit ago! this made me a little crazy about doing alt palettes for adopts but I'm trying to exercise restraint.
digital reference of a pink raccoon character with a strawberry beret and braided pinkish-white hair. there's a copy of the drawing with an added outfit, spring green overalls with strawberry-shaped pockets. info says that their name is Fraise, her pronouns are she/they/he, and he likes picking berries. the same as the previous, but edited to be orange instead of pink and have a pumpkin beret and warm brown overalls with brown leaf-shaped pockets.

drew one of my dainties for the first time in forever!
digital drawing of a "dainty", a species of humanoid, satyr-like character with a deer tail and hooved legs covered by decorative stockings that are part of their skin. This character is chubby with medium-dark skin, short black hair with orange and yellow highlights, a wide and somewhat flat nose and thicker lips. He has batlike ears with candy-corn-colored insides and bat wings with candy-corn-colored webbing. There are halloween-colored sprinkles in his hair and on his tail. His stockings have black upper borders and gradiate from white to yellow to orange with drippy borders. They're decorated with a sprinkle pattern and stickers of a bat, ghost, and pumpkin, and his hooves are black. He's wearing an orange and black hoodie and black jean shorts. He holds up a candy bucket with one hand and doing a claw gesture with the other, smiling with plastic glow fangs in.
