Perfect atmosphere for Halloween night! My favorite detail is the ivy crawling from the eyes of the nearest statue in the 4th painting.

Draculily A bit that flips the script on a vampire and a vampire hunter. Featuring the voice of Claudine Guild as Draculily. (https://www.claudineguild.com) "Draculily"…

Draculily comes from an animated short of mine by the same name. Watch it here: vimeo.com/357001634

Dracilily, a humanoid vampire spider with six arms, holds a green lollipop out towards the viewer in one hand. There is a cricket encased in it. Draculily is looking at the viewer, smiling with an open mouth, and gesturing towards the green lollipop with 4 of her hands. The 5th hand holds a cricket lollipop in blue. Draculily is wearing a purple dress with 6 long sleeves. On top of the dress sits a yellow mantle with a red brooch, a high collar, and red interior fabric. The mantle covers the tops of her arms and has a bat wing shape on each side sticking out. She has two black legs and is wearing red boots. The toe of each boot has a pair of spiked shapes, they point up like fangs. Draculily's face and hands are pale blue. She has big yellow eyes with small black pupils. Her nose is two slits. She has two visible fangs and a purple tongue. Her ears are pointed and her hands are thin and bony. She has short dark hair with two points at the top. One segment of hair swoops down over her brooch. Overall she looks to be having a great time.

Happy Halloween from Draculily! Cricket lollipop, anyone?

Woah! My favorite part is how intense the swan's eye feels.

Illustration of three crows flying on a cloudy day. One crow is big and centered in the frame, with its beak open to caw. The other two are further away, following behind and above it to the left. To the right, a small triangle of bright blue sky pokes through the voluminous clouds. The clouds are pale pastel colors, ranging from purple to blue to teal to pink. 

Saw some crows on a cloudy day. Looked like they were having fun swooping through the air, following each other.

Illustration. Rika is smiling, down on one knee, and gesturing with an open hand towards Clodsire. She is wearing a hot dog vendor hat and apron on top of her usual business casual outfit. The Pokémon Clodsire, a round brown salamander the size of a large dog, looks happy with its mouth wide open in a smile. It is wearing a chili dog costume that makes its body look like a hot dog, with buns to its sides and chili topping above. A line of mustard runs from its back down to its head. The top corners of the illustration are decorated with kidney beans and slices of green serrano pepper. 

Rika's name in Japanese is Chili (チリ) and Clodsire's is Dooh (ドオー). Together that sounds kind of like Chili Dog (チリドッグ). I think the two would dress up like this for Halloween.

A male Red-winged Blackbird stands in profile atop a green tree during sunset. In the background, a large fluffy cloud is visible in the pink sky. The bird has bright red feathers on its shoulders, with a thin line of yellow feathers underneath. The rest of the bird is black. It is facing to the left.

Red-winged Blackbirds are a sign of Spring in these parts. The male's "conk-la-reeee" call is one of my favorite birdsongs.

Yay! I really enjoy getting to see Spellomancer's animations. Personal favorite so far is the raven character.

These poses are so much fun!

Image of a Pileated Woodpecker pecking at a bare tree branch. The bird is about the size of a crow and has a black body, a black beak, a white face with a black stripe, and a bright red crest on its head.

Look who I ran into while on a walk:

Ooo, that's a good one!

I see the vision! Here's a great shot of a Common Kingfisher, photographed by Raghavendra Pai.

Yes! Kingfishers are so cool. Do you have a favorite species?

What a lovely encounter! Pileated woodpeckers are so cool. They can also make some wild nosies.

Oh my gosh the plushies for Kichik, Bildit, and Axolati are SO cute!

Woohoo, congratulations to you and your crew! That's awesome news.

Enjoying the lovley sense of warmth in this illustration.

I really enjoy how you handled the neck pattern on this quail. The triangles have this great visual rhythm to 'em.

Color illustration of Yoshida the bird leading the player character through a countryside dotted with white flowers and lush grass. It's daytime, they pair are walking to the left, and mountains are visible in the distance. The player character's body is invisible. They are wearing a long green cap with a curling tip, and white trim around where their head would be. They wear white gloves, an orange vest with a circular blue closure, and a pair of round brown ankle boots. Yoshida the bird holds their gloved hand with one of his spindly black arms, pointing forward with the other. He has a confident expression. Yoshida's beak is dark orange, and his head is yellow with a tall green plume on top. His arms stick out of the blue and yellow bands of color on his neck. The rest of his bird body is purple. His bird feet are light orange, with 3 toes on each foot.

I had so much fun playing the Switch port of moon: Remix RPG Adventure from @oniongames.bsky.social in 2020. This is from back then. Yoshida the talking bird is a favorite. #moon_rpg #fanart

Looking forward to playing Stray Children!

Color illustration of a Rock Ptarmigan yelling into a microphone. This chicken-like bird is facing to the left, wearing a dark leather jacket, and holding the mic stand with its foot. The ptarmigan is in winter plumage: bright white, feathered feet, a red spot like an eyebrow above its eye, a black eye stripe, and black outer tail feathers. Behind the bird's head is an energy burst with pointy edges, in yellow with a similar orange shape layered underneath. The background is green. Text on the top right reads "ROCK & ROLL", text on the bottom reads "PTARMIGAN".

Rock (& Roll) Ptarmigan! #art #bird #pun

The cast of FRANKEN face off against moon god Eclypson. Bunko raises their sword, cape billowing dramatically. Condor jumps in with a pair of knives and a smug expression. Great Wizard Troab readies her magic. Balgus cheers while HEAVEN'S KNIGHT prays. Frankenstein looks off into the distance, shedding tears and smiling while inexplicably sporting Leiji Matsumoto-style eyelashes. And just who is that guy in grey, lounging out of reach on Eclypson's hand?

Made this #fanart after I played FRANKEN by @splendid.land back in 2022. Really enjoyed the humor and all the funny characters. The sprite work in battle was a real treat.

Play FRANKEN here: splendidland.itch.io/franken

Looking forward to Amazing Treasure Valley!

Glad to see this piece again! I really enjoy both the color palette and the sense of motion with how the sea of dogs flows around the central ornamented figure.

If you see this, post a bird! 🦆

Here's an illustration of some Hooded Mergansers I saw the other day. They start showing up in my area when the weather turns cold. #art #bird

The shapes in this have such a nice flow! Enjoying the brilliance of the colors too.

Ah shoot, I missed this! Will keep an eye out for 'em in the future, sounds like a fun team.

Aw, thank you so much! ✨✨✨ The visual references you posted over on Tumblr were a great help.

Greyscale illustration of the cast from In Stars and Time. Siffrin, Isabeu, Bonnie, Mirabelle, and Odile stand upon a patchwork brick floor, floating in a black void. In the background underneath the bricks, Loop can be seen on the left and the King on the right. Siffrin has a depressed expression and looks away from their group, towards Loop. Isabeau is clenching his fists and looks towards Siffrin with concern. Bonnie is brandishing their frying pan, looking towards the King with anger. Mirabelle has her rapier drawn, and looks towards the King with trepidation. Odile looks down with an impassive expression at the book she is holding. Loop has their hands clasped and eyes closed, as if in prayer. The King is crying, face obscured by clenched gauntlets and tendrils of hair.

@insertdisc5.com Just preordered the artbook! Been looking forward to it, "In Stars and Time" is a favorite. Stellar character writing and art direction.
