Re-doing the colors a smidge on the dragon piece, including brightening the background and saturating it, did wonders I think. Feel like I can actually finish this guy soon, maybe in one more session, two at most? but gotta shift to commissions again tomorrow

A large orange and black fox demon leaps through the air at the viewer. His face is an exposed skull, glaring at the person he is attacking, as his arms are twisted back around him, wielding a massive, orange-glowing scythe that spews ash and flame from the other end. With one knee raised, and the other leg pushed back, he leaps through the air despite his hundreds of extra pounds carried on his gut.

A grayscale sketch of a lion-beastkin character named Ursa. The tall, lanky-yet-muscular lion-like figure is walking forward towards the viewer, on a dirt path, tail swaying behind her. She is looking up at a small bird that has landed on her large paw, as others fly in out of curiosity as well.

A colored sketch of a grey wolf/canine character resting and reclining on the edge seat of a couch. He is unclothed, minus a blue silk sheet that is draped over himself, with one hand holding it in place, as he grins at the viewer.

A colored sketch for @kelteo.bsky.social ! The weekend is almost over, and it's a bit chilly outside. Someone looks under-dressed for warmth, but I bet body warmth may do just fine.

Thank, Kelteo, for trusting me with your guy! c:

A purple and green armored Symbiote man (like Venom of Spiderman) strides towards the viewer. He is stepping through fire-y clouds of dust and ash at his feet, one arm connected to a massive formed blade on his forearm. His other hand is pointing aggressively at the viewer, with three goopy tentacles shifting to form blades at the end of their tips, pointing as well. His long, yellow-gold tongue twists and curls around in the air out of his terrifyingly sharp-teethed mouth.

A character painting for @fimbulvetr.bsky.social . I think stopping Bellow is going to require a LOT more firepower... or running faster than your slower teammates.

A large, white foxcat demon leans against a bar late at night. He is clothed in a small leather coat, and a pair of pants that are frayed and stretched tightly around their legs. A long, fluffy tail drapes along the ground behind them, as their large belly dominates the scene. With one arm raised and a hand behind his head, Shard glances at the viewer with a hungry look in his eyes, licking his lips.

A character painting for @shardartel.bsky.social ! No need for the kitchen to worry; Shard's looking like they found their own snack~

Had to start off the painting queue with not only a great looking character, but a good bit of softness. c: Thank you, Shard, for trusting me with your guy!! 💚

What's a cosmic reality-bending dragon do to relax and unwind? Some planetary gaming, of course!

A nice planet and moon to lounge on, some UFO Starbit Soda, a rift portal for my monitor, and a kingly-sized controller.

Welcome to my Nebula!

Wasnt interested in highguard but im not celebrating its cancellation.

Its fuckin weird how negative some of yall are.
You shouldn't want anything that isn't fortnite or marvel to fail, a variety of different games is good. being happy a studio closes makes you sound like anti woke chuds

There's a Microcenter bundle that I would grab but we still need to get our car inspected and new tags, and taxes are coming up that will probably absolutely destroy me, so I must resist for at least a month or so. Just need to work harder in the mean time...!

Learning and realizing my CPU is going on 10 years old as I install a new graphics card (thank you falindrith ;u;), staring at bundle deals and wondering how I can manage to get one before things get even worse so I can coast for another ten years. Hmm...

Dromiceiomimus: I'm not.

Utahraptor: But pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, so they're not part of the same clade as us.
T-Rex: EUGH!

T-Rex: Utahraptor, I am TRYING to achieve some sort of ENLIGHTENMENT here, and instead I'm being bogged down in CLADE DEFINITIONS. How about this: we're all LIFE, so we're all in this together. Ruin that!!
Utahraptor: This would be much more compelling if I didn't have to devour other forms of life to maintain my own.

Garrett's unsure if he woke up to the first day of Macro March a LOT bigger or if he's still dreaming. Either way the big bat is enjoying the view!

A sketch for @blufo.gs I took in a rush a while back to help with some plumbing bills. Anger unchecked, Fogs tends to go a little bit over the top. (Note to self, ask him to do this more often.)

A silver dragonborn stands on the beach at the waterside, hands raised up behind his head as he flexes his body, showing off every muscle from his arms to his legs, wearing only a pair of swim trunks. Water cascades at his feet, as the sun sets in the distance behind him.
