Teenage Bluey and Jean-Luc walking in the snow, having some hot cocoa and donut holes during a visit in Canada.

It's cold out there! ❄️❄️ #bluey #bluefanart

Quietly my resolution every year is to be a little more active with posting, but that never pans out, so instead this year I should just color more lmao

A post on Bluesky by "Bluey Heeler📝" with handle @heelertrix.bsky.social on 14 November. "He thinks he can handle the spice, but I can tell he's not gonna last long. Not against the Spicy Champion!" Posted is a picture of Mackenzie, nervously waving off the spice of an Indian curry while tears well up in his eyes.

A post on Twitter by "🍟Maccas🍟" with handle @mackenzieBCAU on 14 November. "hawk blueah" Posted is a picture of Bluey, seemingly coughing up flames after trying the spicy curry herself.

Can't handle the heat🔥 #bluey #blueyfanart

Also hit 100 followers! Not bad for throwing doodles out into the void. Thanks y'all <3

Bluey sitting at a laptop, wearing glasses and looking at the viewer chirping, "Can't you see I'm busy, mate?"

Working dog at work. #bluey #blueyfanart

Character sheet containing the Heeler family dressed up and playing as Final Fantasy XIV characters. From right to left: Chilli as a high level bard "Syngbhyda Trachwyn", Bandit as a mid-level warrior "Girunugal", Bingo as a new conjurer "Sparkleshot", Bluey as a low-level black mage "Blubluey Bluey".

Friend asked what if the Heelers played FFXIV and well...
#bluey #blueyfanart

Jean-Luc and Mackenzie call out for Bluey's attention, and she thinks about for a moment because...

...Chloe and Judo are also calling for her, igniting a fairly early sense of... bisexuality?

Which way, modern dog? #bluey #blueyart

bluesky absolutely has a growth problem. at this point it's just me, the several thousand sockpuppet accounts i faithfully maintain, and you. and if you're weirded out by that, how about you just take a beat and imagine what an average day is like for me

The thing that bothers me about my content shift is that I reeeally don't know how I'm supposed to broadcast myself or "get into" another fandom. Doesn't help that social anxiety really likes to kick in with this kind of stuff.

A disaster imminent, Jack tripping over a rock and about to fall onto a triumphant Rusty holding a sword, while Mackenzie looks on.

So when are we getting more of these three?
#bluey #blueyfanart

Mackenzie engaging Lulu with a some scientific calculations, while Jack continues to study his map with little success.

Mackenzie being a good sport about being beaned in the head, walking it off with Rusty and Dusty.

Mackenzie happily encouraging chaos from an energetic Muffin, blowing away Socks while Bluey and Bingo watch on.

At the end of the day, Mackenzie rides home alone. No little siblings like his other friends. It makes him feel... a certain way.

"Only Child"

Maybe it's because her sister's trying to be more showy than her, but who knows? The Muffin thought process is mysterious to this day

A rough concept of an older Muffin (left, age 8) and Socks (right, age 6). Socks is being a general cute while Muffin grouchily stares her down.

Haven't drawn much due to health/work issues, but finally got another entry in the series, featuring the cousins! #bluey #blueyart

Pound Cake stoically blowing on a party blower, sitting in front of a cupcake with a candle on top while confetti falls around him.

Instead of cake on my birthday, I'm borrowing this cake horse to celebrate. #mlpart

Younger Rainbow Dash standing in front of younger Fluttershy, unabashedly exclaiming "Wow, you're so tall! That's so cool!"

I mean, she's not wrong. #mlp #mlpart

A rough concept of an older Bingo (left, age 9) and Bluey (right, age 11). Bingo is teasingly pointing at her older sister, calling out "Old!"

And now, more #Bluey posting, with the girls going into their awkward preteen years.

Spike encounters the Cutie Mark Crusaders on the street, the trio making and selling pottery potentially without a permit. As Spike crosses his arms and listens unconvinced, Apple Bloom refutes his accusations, saying "Listen here, we have a perfectly legitimate business operation, permits and all! Feel free to check the books yerself, library boy!" Sweetie Belle seems to be a bit stricken by the dragon, while Scootaloo is still focused on spinning clay.

Fortunately, Twilight also has the best assistant a researcher can have. Spike helps keep the peace at the library and does the bulk of the information gathering that's requested of him. Which means interacting with the more "interesting" characters around the city.

#mlp #mlpau

Twilight and Spike riding a commuter train into the city. Spike sleeps on Twilight's leg as she looks concernedly out the window towards the moon, holding the infamous Tome of the Two Sisters... or is it.

Keeping all those tabs open means a lot of cloistering away in her books, to the annoyance of library patrons and coworkers. Maybe she should ease up on the studying, but who knows? What if there really is a mare in the moon? And how long will be before she returns...?

#mlp #mlpau

Portrait of an alternate version of Spike (right) and Twilight Sparkle (left). Both are wearing sashes signifying their government positions. Spike is styled as "Rt. Hon. Spike Ignus-Sparkle", the secretary to the Head Librarian. Twilight is styled as "Rt. Hon. Officer Twilight Sparkle", Head Librarian in the Royal House.

Revisiting my very old #mlp "Diaries" AU, taking place in a highly modernized and uneasily utopian Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle, an aspiring state mage, is recruited as one of the monarch's closest advisors, a keen bookkeeper with eyes and ears all throughout the palace and the government.

Fanart of My Little Pony (G4). A younger Pinkie introducing herself to a younger Fluttershy by leaping up excitedly right against her nose, the latter recoiling back in surprise.

New friend new friend new friend new friend!

(Reposting old art from the twits) #mlp #mlpart

Bingo and Bluey holding hands and looking enthusiastically at something off screen.

Been wanting to draw some #Bluey and that means some coloring experiments to figure out a new process. Sliiightly different from how I color MLP stuff, but i think it looks good!

The struggle of following artists who insist on deleting their online presence and gallery every few months...

Digging through some old art to start filling this account out. There will be a lot of older Cake twins. #mlp #mlpart

Making a real late introduction, but hello! I'm cactus and been drawing ponies for a hot minute now. Though not as much lately, but hoping to get back to it soon. #mlp #mlpart

All the shuffling around has done wonders for weaning me off social media in general. Which is great for mental health, but kinda bad for artist reasons...

Mackenzie (on right) snickering as he hands Bluey (on left) a note reading "You're blue, da ba dee da ba di~"

Yo listen up, here's a story...
#bluey

Sketch of Bluey (right) standing on a book to playfully pet a befuddled Bingo (left).

Forgot to put this here. Working on various projects and had a strong urge to give drawing Bluey characters a try!

An alternative take on the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Sweetie Belle in front looking mostly unchanged aside from an amulet, Scootaloo hovering over her with an aviator cap and goggles, and Apple Bloom in tow in a uniform-like polo.

Suddenly remembered one of my old AUs that I can never talk about and decided to doodle these dweebs. #mlp #mlpart
