Hehh. What does the horse say? VROOM VROOM!

Today I learned: the headless mule exists. :o
I will read about it

I figured the head is a bit hard to see, but I felt like it makes sense, metaphorically, for it to seem like it lost its head (I drew this to vent some feelings)

Fire horsie. Brought to you by metal horse (me). I think a horse of metal and fire is typically called a motorbike

Quiet, peaceful, homely ๐Ÿ˜… Feels more like a little coffee shop than a shopping mall. It's reassuring to know (with as much certainty as is possible nowadays) that everything you see is human-made.

Unfinished version of the drawing above. Outlines are drawn with a black gel pen. The details inside the figure, drawn with a pencil, are faintly visible.

Half-finished version of the drawing above. The figure is mostly colored, aside from a blank patch over the hindlegs.

If I understand it correctly, the thing is that they are too understaffed to have full support for hosting NSFW art safely. I'm not sure what that means in practice tbh

I was thinking of Cara, until you said nudity. ๐Ÿ˜…

I don't know. I was thinking of just opening another bluesky account for nsfw if/when I feel like getting around to it. I have security/privacy issues with Instagram.

Maybe a Discord/Telegram/Signal server

Kata opens a can of Corm Flakes for a bunch of tame pygmy cormorants. The birds sitting on her shoulders are eager to make the contents of the can disappear into their beaks. She lets them, but she eyes the nondescript chunks of processed food with some suspicion.

A can of Corm' Flakes for the mini sea ravens. "Salmon flavored" implying it's not salmon? Then what the hell is in it...

A warm-up drawing. I'm trying to resist the urge to keep tweaking it until the heat death of the universe

Pegasus! Fluffy! He's so fluffy I'm gonna die! (there's probably a gif for that)

Lovely creatures and drawings ๐Ÿ˜„

Happy Three Kings' day! Lately I've been drawing the creatures of some of my mutuals as warm-ups. Here are some. (@paleorex.bsky.social @upongoblinhill.bsky.social @quinnred.bsky.social @gaelcasas.bsky.social @dimetrodone.bsky.social @whiteraven90.bsky.social)

Ah I'm sorry about that! I do want it out there, instead of having it collect dust on my drive alone. I was just a bit nervous about having it up as a WIP. It's not the same but I can't stop thinking about how some people treat early access games๐Ÿ˜…

If you grabbed a cat I hope it met your expectations, or if it didn't, then I'd like to know why, so I can do better in the future. Also thank you if you left out some coffee for Santa!

I closed the shop, but I do want to make the cat available again when it doesn't feel like a WIP anymore.

When choosing Ko-Fi for this, I wasn't aware that there is no review function. I'd have liked that ๐Ÿฅบ

But it's nice that there are over 100 copies of it out there now, I didn't expect THAT many

Found that changing the Scale value from 0.7 to 0.1 makes the fur on the head look almost identical to the way I intended it to look. Not sure why this is, but yay (I swear I'm trying not to work on the cat)

The concept art I did for [NDA]; it boosted my self-confidence into the stratosphere. And the concept art it encouraged me to do for my [self-imposed NDA]. It was very liberating. ...๐Ÿ˜…

I think rigging isn't categorized as art? but I like that a lot too of course

Grid of 9 square pictures, a photo in the middle one, and various 3D and 2D works in the others. 

In detail: Photo is supposed to be a self-portrait but the phone is in the way. Top left is a snippet of Phoenix's reference sheet. Top one is a sketch drawn about what Pegasus may sound like. Top right is a logo for a personal worldbuilding project. Middle left is a 3D cat model, middle right is a digital painting of Griffin, bottom left is a 3D model of Kata, bottom middle is a 3D model of Pegasus, bottom right is an unfinished 3D model of a very large building.

This year I did all the things, and everything happened too. Maybe next year could be... bit less wall-to-wall action, bit more rest

Can't believe I Blendered Pegasus this year, feels like forever ago

Got an urge to prove that I mainly do 2D art, for some mysterious, unknown reason.

These were preliminary sketches for the illustration below

I do have Nomad, for PC! I had some issues with it. Main one is that I couldn't change the mouse button loadout in the shortcut customization menu. I'd probably use it if it wasn't for that. I've been waiting for a long time for it to come out on PC ๐Ÿ˜…
