Multiple greyscale sketches of a wyvern with several arctic animal characteristics. The client for this one wanted something that combined the features of a bear, owl, fish, and various other wildlife. The next image features what we ended up settling on.

Greyscale layout for the final wyvern design with notes regarding texture and placement of features. We agreed early on to feature the head fins rather prominently, as well as the feathered, owl-like wings. I insisted on the little bear ears because I thought they were cute. 

Actual image description: A wyvern with broad, feathered wings equipped with dexterous hands and hooked claws. Its head is crowned with sharp fins that frame its beaked face that additionally sports a long, slender horn and gills that run along its cheeks. It’s tail is long, and think, lined with scales and tipped with a whale’s fluke. I, personally, think this thing RULES

Rough sketch of Yuma (lil sunshine rascal) as a wyvern (SCALEY little sunshine rascal) flopped on the floor with his big wings posed like a dog would with their unruly paws.

Oh god I gotta do alt text. Okay. This one’s a collection of four winged serpentine dragons with large curving horns and thick platting. He also has four lil arms, but those aren’t really visible here.

More of The Guy. His head, this time. These sketches feature a pair of long curved horns resembling the path of a planet’s orbit (to me, anyway) and a pair of lil fin-like ears.

A few very rough exploratory sketches of a basilisk with a sinuous tail lined with spines and sporting a fluffy voluminous mane.

#155 - #156 - #157. The fires of the Cyndaquil line grow bluer and stronger as it evolves. When closer to evolving, Cyndaquils and Quilavas will dig new burrows uninterrupted until it can accomodate their new stage.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Reminder that pinning an image-only feed is peak.

People tend to say what annoys them, but show what they enjoy. So vibes are always better. It also makes interacting with art/cool things way easier.

And its helped me be online more without flooding my brain with the bad.

Different Monster Hunter chibi adopts. They all have different lore and adaptation to various different environments. The monsters are an electric Zamtrios, a poisonous Lagiacrus, and a fire Royal Ludroth.

I don’t think ppl understand just how awesome getting a tip is, even like $1 is enough to put a smile on an artists face.

Most of us are afraid our prices are too much half the time anyways 😭😭😭

Two anthropomorphic furry rabbits holding hands against an abstract white blizzard background. One rabbit is black and tan, with a blue shawl and black skirt. The other is pale white and tan, with an orange and yellow diamond patterned shawl and tan pants. They both have a medieval vibe in their clothing.

Color drawing of an orange dragon with a body consisting entirely of orange flames and sparse craggy armor soaring into the frame as a jet of blue and red fire swirls around him, disturbed by the beat of his wings.

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

A drawing of a leviathan rising from the water, causing enormous waves in the process. The leviathan is grey with a light underside, and has bright purple stripes down his back. The mouth which is also open is purple. The sea is icy, the sky cloudy, as if in arctic waters.

An art from a monthly art challange with people. The topic was Scale. Personally, I briefly referenced the greek mythology of the stymphalian bird; a voracious avian creature with a bronze beak and feather made of sharp metal.

VERY rough sketch of wolf Link except he's got big dragon wings and a big dragon tail and cool pinion feathers and FLOATING HORNS because those are NEAT and I LIKE THEM (there is also a Midna, but the projects weren't related)
