A couple years ago I found one in my parents garden. I've never found any in the places I rented. Now I'm moving into house we have brought, I'm getting the garden set up with a compost heap. I find they like those.

Honestly they are such a joy to find.

This was done earlier this year. My more toony style in all digital doodle. He's Issac, an Amogello. He runs a auction house full of antiques, may be traumatised by some of the furniture. Best to not ask really.

The final artfight attacks for 2025. It was fun and I hit my goal! I do have two IOUs out for revenges though. Those will be the first things I get on with in 2026 I think.

A gift piece of a Amogello character for a user on TH. Closed species.
I surprised myself with how "soft" this came out. I'm messing around with different traditional ink colour and then colouring digitally.

The first fanart I made for this game was honestly, far too soft and strayed too far from my usual style. I really needed to correct that and draw it back in my usual style. I find that if I make art for a "cozy" title, my style strays, I don't know why that happens. #coralisland

Drawn from a prompt from a user on PillowFort. I'm going through a stressful time and there is no chance of drawing every day for Smaugust. Hopefully I can get at least 5 done.
Smaugust- 1
Prompt- Low level

A little bit of world building in regards to my merfolk.

They galumph like seals on land. They don't have magic to turn their tails into a pair of legs. That kind of power would come from a powerful magical individual, it's not a species wide ability.

It's always nice to go back to drawing animals in ink.

Here's another older sketch for my greater harpy gals. I must get a reference sheet done for this species.

Anyone else prepping for Artfight? I know it's early but I want to have as many refs done as possible this year.

headshot of a reptilian like creature. Green with brown and red markings. Long snout with 12  long teeth in top jaw and 10 in the bottom jaw.
 Small yellow eyes under its heavy brow which is also where the large nostrils are.

This is a creature from my headworld. This species "Orstix" is used as a "capture mount". They are creatures of high value in function and breeding/ collecting.

probably worth painting the inside black anyways as that will help. The white will bounce a lot of incoming light as it currently is.
