I wish Bluesky had a proper iPad app. I don’t like using it in this awkward vertical bar setup 😔

Bioluminescence………….. that’s wild…….. what a world…

Ooh nice! Yeah the original is from a series of tapestries - it’s called “the unicorn rests in a garden”. Seemed fitting for a horned dino.

Agreed! The natural world is so vast!!

In honour of the newly-discovered spinosaurus mirabilis, which has a ‘sword-shaped crest’ - and thus is akin to a unicorn. Whether spinosaurus mirabilis’ crest had supernatural properties like a unicorn’s horn, we may never know, since magical powers are not well-preserved in the fossil record.

Learning to paint in procreate! This is a flame bowerbird!

First time a customer’s ever critiqued me for providing service too fast. The very definition of “there’s no pleasing some people”.

Ohhh yeah!! I just can’t help myself lmao!

I simply cannot resist the sweet siren song of daily diary comics. Oh how I love them!!

Awwww mannnnnn why’d you build your tower on an active volcanooooo. Come onnnnnnn dude

And the last three!!

First four redesigns for ‘brush week 2025’! This was a fun little challenge. #brushweek2025

A scanned ink drawing of a dragon-like beast with fur accents. It is smiling crookedly at the viewer.

A beastie for you to behold :)

Dik-dik, anyone? Anybody? Can I tempt you?

(Experimenting with colouring scanned physical linework!)

Koi!!

That’s everything I love in a character…….. orinj :)

Skitty, if it were a bit more of a kitten! But it would be impossible to battle a Skitty that looked like this. Like, what, you’re gonna throw a fireball at a kitten? You’re gonna suplex a kitten?? Come on dude. Don’t. Don’t do that

A sketchy digital drawing of two characters, an Ethiopian wolf and a black-tailed jackrabbit. The jackrabbit is sitting between the front legs of the wolf and smiling up at her. The wolf is smiling down in return.

Eris 🤝 Jolly - first time forming a meaningful friendship? First time forming a meaningful friendship

A cartoony digital drawing of the head and neck of a black-tailed jackrabbit. The rabbit has a very intense side stare, ears slightly back.

If you’ve got a lagomorph character you Have to draw them with a big huge prescient stare sometimes. You Have to.

Two headshot drawings of a coati character. The coati is smiling in both, one with mouth closed and the other open. It is coloured in various shades of bright green. A stamp in the corner reads ‘fruityfinch’.

Twister the coatimundi!

Ohh it seems like bluesky is having a surge of activity as Twitter continues to shit the bed…….

A little late, but I liked the Halloween Ninetales you could get on Pokémon Go last month… love that fancy collar…

A digital drawing of a very fluffy and soft-looking white dog with light blue markings on his back, tail, and head.

My objective in drawing this was to depict him very very soft… and I consider my mission to have been accomplished.

Hahaaa yes!!

ARARARRARRR RARR RAR GRRR BARK BARK BARK

A drawing of a rusty red coloured anthropomorphic tiger. It has markings that look like cartoony little bones and skulls as well as stripes and spots. It’s grinning widely at the viewer, claws out, standing against a backdrop of trees and a full moon.

Do you think weretigers roar at the moon 🌝

A side-on drawing of a canine character whose body is facing left but whose head is turned to look right with a small smile. They have a warm orange undercoat, cream belly, and black head, back, and tail. Darker orange and black stripes are visible on the respective orange and black areas.

Calico! 🏜️

>:D

If I refer to my ‘ever-expanding world of animals,’ this is what I mean (with some placeholder images for those I haven’t drawn yet)!

My coterie… my bon-bons… mes petits chouxfleurs……. Most of them will never ever meet each other, but they inhabit the same world.

A black and white ink drawing of an anthropomorphic Jacob sheep doing a caber toss. He is wearing a kilt with shorts underneath and a dark t-shirt. The colour on the shirt is added with stippling and the colour on the caber with crosshatching. There are clouds in the background.

Day one: Jacob sheep

I’m going to use a variety of prompt lists for inktober - this was from faunwood’s “fauntober”!

He’s participating in a caber toss 🪵🐏💪

A headshot of a lion character smiling very enthusiastically at the viewer. They have very fluffy cheeks. They are mostly bright yellow with orange markings around their nose and eyes. Their eyes, mouth, nose, and the inside of their ears are blue. The image is signed “@fruityfinch”.

I simply cannot get ENUF orange/yellow/citrus themed characters

I’ve heard that anticipation is actually the most enjoyable part of any experience, so the GOOD news is that I’ll be able to benefit from anticipating a new console for a year or so while I save up the dough!
