I was endlessly distractible tonight and ended up just starting a bunch of sketches. I couldn’t focus on just one no matter what. 🙃

I mean. Maybe it’ll serve me. I do kind of want to produce just more art in general…

#art #wip || #alphabase #Jacob #Herratt #Errick #Orvin #Elliot #Lucy
A rough sketch of Herratt, a thickly bearded wild-hill-man looking fellow who mans the radio tower at Alpha Base, giving his curly haired, bespectacled nerd of a husband, Jacob, a kiss on the forehead. A sketch of Errick making very animated commentary. A doodle of sequel Orvin sound asleep with gesture sketches of what will be his partners Elliot and Lucy hovering over him talking quietly (but with great amusement at just how asleep he is) so they don’t wake him up.

#cat || #Aleksi
A top down photo of Aleksi the cat curled up on the author’s chest, tucked in so close that he’s covering the lower half of her face.

Congrats on 1.3k! That’s an awesome milestone to hit!

Here’s a sample of some of my art. I’d love to be included if there’s still room.
A long horizontal digital art piece of Kaleen, a furry character with a fox-like face, long ears, and long wavy blonde hair. Most of her is shades of gold, but she has a white muzzle and orange stripes. She’s wearing a cape and something with puffy sleeves, and she’s smiling and looking back over her shoulder. A black and white drawing of Heinrich wearing nothing but a collar, a leash, and a mask shaped like a canine skull that covers the lower part of his face. He’s also sporting a pair of cyberpunk ears like a jackal atop his head, and a decidedly daring expression in his eyes. An energetically-posed cyberpunk portrait of Tim’s fursona. His mouth is wide open and he’s leaned back towards the right of the canvas with both fists up like he’s mid-dance move. He’s a blue cat with a white chin, darker blue stripes on his cheeks, a tail striped in tans and greys and blues, and curly blonde-tipped grey hair. He’s wearing an eccentric outfit in black, vivid turquoise, and a hint of blue, including a heavy coat with a flared out collar, a capelet, a cravat marked with a big green pawprint, and big pockets near the bottom of the coat with another little pawprint on the flap. He has a black and aqua-green collar on, a blue shirt, blue pants, and a green belt. At his hip are little plushies of Lucario and a Mudkip. The background is a gesture painting of a cyberpunk city, also in bright green and blue. A digital painting of Paul standing in profile, facing to the right. He has a rifle in a low position, resting at his shoulder, and he’s wearing goggles, a respirator mask, and a grey cloak with the hood pulled up. He has his red collar pulled up over the respirator like a scarf, and a thick tuft of his blonde hair is sticking out of his hood above his eyes. The background is a messy, splotchy red, and a stylized lightning bolt is striking from the top left corner of the background towards the bottom right, following his line of sight.

#art #furry #oc #ocart || #alphabase #Heinrich
A portrait of Heinrich as a tikedi - he’s got a very short, almost flat muzzle compared to most of them, and is definitely a hybrid design between his human self and a furry. He still has his long black hair and his brown eyes, as well as heavy dark markings on his face that mimic his eyebrows. His face is a golden brown from the nose up, and his lower face is white. He has a dark brown nose and pointed black ears that stick up and out through his hair. He’s wearing his goggles tucked in underneath his bangs and a loose high-collared black shirt.

Inevitable failure: so far I’m overcome with an urge to scratch him behind the ear and ask WHOSEAGOODBOY??

Perturbing.

#art #wip #furry || #alphabase #Heinrich
A very rough, unfinished concept sketch of Heinrich as a tikedi, drawn in pale red. So far he has a gesture of a pointy ear sticking out of his long, dark hair and his nose is now dog-like, but his muzzle is very, very short in an attempt to not lose the look of his human face. His eyes are pretty much the same as always. It’s a strangely cute compromise. There’s a simple profile doodle off to the left of the canvas as well.

Still poking at this fanart with a stick.

#art #wip
A work in progress sketch of Joker from Black Butler’s circus arc. Its coming along very slowly, but he has most of the structure of his whole face now, excluding one eye. There are only dashes of colour on it so far.

Somehow this feels like a companion to Paul and his nearly-broken nose.

Now I need to come up with something for Errick and get the whole trifecta in there.

#art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Heinrich
A portrait of Heinrich with wolf or monster features. His long black hair is a mess and he’s turned to snarl over his shoulder with sharp teeth. Pointed animal ears are growing, horn-like, out of the top of his head. He’s painted in shades of a dark, diluted green.

Good morning!

#caturday #cat || #Aleksi
Aleksi, a pale orange long-haired cat with a white face, snuggled amongst the rumpled gray blankets on a bed. His has settled his head down to tuck his nose under his tail in this photo, and only one eye is open a little.

Over the weekend I finally finished this little moss coaster that I’ve been working on and brought it to work to make my desk a bit more comfortable.
A photo of a white David’s Tea colour changing mug featuring leaves and ladybugs, settled on a soft coaster made of various latch-hooked yarns so that it looks like a patch of mosses. In front of the coaster is a teabag tray shaped like a fox head. In the background are various office desk ephemera - monitors, a keyboard, earbuds, and a photo of Aleksi the cat. The same coaster and mug buy from a different angle, showing off some of the different kinds of yarn puffs that make up the moss.

There was a gorgeous sunrise on the walk in this morning. 🌅
A photo of sunrise over a gravel trail through a park full of trees. The sky is bright orange and the clouds are lit up like a ribbon of fire. A photo of sunrise through trees. The sky is bright luminescent gold. A photo of the golden sunrise over the water, as seen through the branches of shrubs along the trail. There’s a dock visible in the centre of the photo.

#art #oc #fanart || #AlphaBase #Orvin #Nathan #BlackoutCity #Coda
A looser sketch of presumably shirtless Orvin with his head tilted up. He’s pointing at a nasty scar on his chin with a prosthetic hand. He looks amused and not at all perturbed, but is saying in a series of speech bubbles: “What? This? It’s just a scar.” There’s an ellipsis to indicate a pause and then he continues: “Could get it removed, yeah. Probably. But I kind of like it. As a reminder.” A digital portrait of Nathan, just head and shoulders, facing to the right. He's a stocky fellow with thin dark hair, glasses, a snub nose, a permanently grumpy expression, and a yellow sweater. Digital art of a bust portrait of Coda, looking off-camera against a simple grid pattern background. The colour palette is in browns, tans, and purpley blues.

Prophecy of the Circle: Jacind. It's Jacind.

He's a good dad, he's brave, he's calm, he's kind, he's pretty, he had a bit of a bad boy streak when he was younger - what's not to like?

#art #oc #furry || #ProphecyOfTheCircle #Jacind
A full colour drawing of Jacind enjoying a drink in the early morning. He's a brown-furred furry character with long, gold-striped ears and a gold-striped tail. His hair is long and golden yellow and tied back in a ponytail. Hes wearing dark blue robes with gold detail on them. The cup he's holding is blue. In the background is his son Jahrd, a white furry with blue markings and blonde and blue hair. He's wearing loose brown clothes and peering around the corner of a wall. An illustration of two furry characters, Jacind and Jahrd. They both have dog-like face and big ears. One, Jahrd, is white with blue stripes on his ears and scruffy short blonde hair. His dad, Jacind, is brown-furred with yellow stripes on his ears and long blonde hair. Jacind has Jahrd in a gentle headlock with one hand on Jahrd’s face, covering his eyes. Jahrd has a toothy little smirk on his face and a little heart in a speech bubble over his head, clearly enjoying the attention. Jacind is smirking down at him, amused, and lovingly calling him a “weirdo.”

Alpha Base: You'd THINK it would be a powerful prettyboy like Errick or Heinrich.

But no. It's Elliot's uncle, Jacob. He's the politest, kindest sweetheart, and knows how to fix EVERYTHING. He will solve every problem and be cute while doing it.

Regrettably: taken.

#oc #art || #AlphaBase #Jacob
A grayscale portrait of Jacob. He's got dark skin, darker curly hair, a narrow face with a scraggly mustache and chin scruff, halfmoon glasses and a very kind and gentle smile.

I toyed with the brown hair a bit back in the early days of his design, but we pretty quickly mutually agreed that it’s just not him.
A simple portrait of Paul with his original brown hair. Notably this is the first time I ever drew him, back in September 2023. A portrait of brown-haired Paul wearing an impractically overdesigned cyberpunk respirator mask in bright red and white. A sketch of Errick and Paul as Bob and Doug McKenzie from the Great White North, reciting the Canadian Twelve Days of Christmas. Paul has a beer bottle.

Paul is the only one I can think of. He’s not a natural blonde. His original hair colour is a rather uninspired shade of dirt brown, and he’d lose his little mind if the base ever had a shortage of bleaching agents.

#art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Paul
Digital art of Paul - a young white man with an undercut hairstyle where its long and blonde on top and very short and dark underneath. He has a spectacularly bloody nose, and is recoiling angrily, looking like he just got socked in the nose. The art is painted mostly in soft shades of light blue, except for the vibrant spray of bright red blood. Paul is positioned to the left of the canvas, baring his teeth and swiping at his nose. A digital painting of Paul standing in profile, facing to the right. He has a rifle in a low position, resting at his shoulder, and he’s wearing goggles, a respirator mask, and a grey cloak with the hood pulled up. He has his red collar pulled up over the respirator like a scarf, and a thick tuft of his blonde hair is sticking out of his hood above his eyes. The background is a messy, splotchy red, and a stylized lightning bolt is striking from the top left corner of the background towards the bottom right, following his line of sight. A digital sketch in tones of brown of Errick snuggling against Paul. Errick’s hair is long enough to cover his eyes, and he’s wearing an oversized heavy sweater with a wide collar. He’s nuzzling into Paul’s shoulder and hugging him, but he looks a little depressed. Paul is nuzzling him back and looking down at him with a little smirk. He has one hand on the back of Errick’s head. He’s wearing a plain, light coloured hoodie.

I didn’t have a brain to choose a subject for zen doodling so my Thingpicker Wheel of characters dictated that I draw Kaleen. It’s been a hot minute since I drew any of my characters from Prophecy of the Circle. 🧡

#art #furry #oc #ocart || #ProphecyOfTheCircle #Kaleen
A long horizontal digital art piece of Kaleen, a furry character with a fox-like face, long ears, and long wavy blonde hair. Most of her is shades of gold, but she has a white muzzle and orange stripes. She’s wearing a cape and something with puffy sleeves, and she’s smiling and looking back over her shoulder.

The vibe:
Heinrich, a man with long, black hair and wearing a sweater and jeans, lying sprawled on his side, defeated. He has a tiny speech bubble with a skull in it. The drawing is in black and white. Paul facedown on a bed, looking thoroughly done. His hair is two-tone: long and blonde on top and short and dark underneath, and the blonde hair is sticking up in the back. There is a little speech bubble over his head that simply has a little doodle of a face with x’s for eyes. A black and white pen drawing of Derec, a furry character with a long tail, sprawled facedown on a tile floor. He has a little speech bubble with an angry face doodled inside of it.

Well, that’s the biggest number I’ve ever had on a social media account.

I don’t generally put a lot of stock in numbers because I’m just here for fun and not profit but I’ll admit that it makes a bad day feel better.

We’re social creatures and it’s pleasant to be liked.

It took me so many attempts and references to get this one right.

Tough angle indeed. x_x

#art #oc || #AlphaBase #Heinrich
Digital art of Heinrich with the camera positioned low so that we’re looking up at him from approximately hip height. He’s leaning back, one arm outstretched to the viewer’s left and out of the frane, head turned as if looking around a doorframe, and long dark hair curling dramatically behind him. He’s wearing his Command jacket, zipped up, with a focus on the angled panels at the front. The hood isn’t visible, except as bunched fabric near the high collar at his throat. He has a belt slung at an angle over his hips. The entire piece is painted in a red tint.

Current followers on this platform? Probably Heinrich because all they know is my Alpha Base phase and -I- won’t shut up about him.

But all-time fave is likely one of my tikedi from Prophecy of the Circle. I’d say Jahrd himself, or maybe Stiggs. There’s a -lot- of love for Myrnak, too.

#oc #art
A black and white drawing of Heinrich in profile from the shoulders up. He’s tall, has a long face with a slightly crooked nose, dark eyes, and long, straight black hair. He’s wearing a pair of goggles pushed up on his forehead into his hairline and a few layers of clothing that are just visible through his hair as a multi-layered high collar and fabric draped at his chest. He’s also wearing a cloak or capelet over his shoulders. His expression is neutral and serious. Framed in the background are trees and bushes on an embankment leading up to a chainlink fence. A watercolour painting of Jahrd, a white-furred furry character with blue markings on his big ears and blue and gold hair, surrounded by a thick field of sunflowers and smiling up at the viewer. A drawing of Stiggs, a white-furred furry character with pale green stripes on his forehead, under his eyes, and a broad stripe along his very long, twisty tail. He’s wearing a black and navy blue outfit featuring a black silver-trimmed vest over a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, and he’s sitting on a stone seat with fingers steepled, long feet crossed, and a devious smirk on his face. The background is a pale blue wash of colour constrained in a rectangular border. A digital painting of Myrnak, a gold-furred furry character with side-swept orange hair, a blue patch over one eye, and wearing a gray-blue shirt, beaming proudly as he stands beside a cactus that is covered in fluffy pink and white blooms.
