Cutea Arts

And the continuing animation work, this time for Sai and her Snow Leopard OC.
This piece actually contributed to me paying for my new animation software that meant I could extend the length and complexity of my animated stickers.

In my continuing adventures with Acrylic paints, I found Glow in the Dark Acrylic. I used this umbreon painting to work out how effective the paint would be used over yellows and whites. Honestly I think I could have done a much thinner subtle outline for the umbreon. But overall I loved this.

And for those who love a good timelapse.
I sketch all my designs traditionally on paper before scanning them, then I refine them in a digital sketch. Then you see the rest of my process in the video.

I started of July by studying the Japanese Kemono style of furries. I quite like how the face shapes are less "mascot like" compared to western designs, and you see that change evolve in my style over this year.
Here I wanted to experiment with a Jackalope.
Wifey immediately stole her for her own.

July was a little quieter on this side of my artwork, although I was still playing with Acrylics and animations.

As a little side thing.
I found my very first attempt at acrylic painting from two years ago, the little Eevee. On an unprimed canvas with the thinnest paints.

Now hanging up in my hallway as a set.
I grew up with the original Blue, Red and Yellow. Although I will always hold Gold as my favourite I'm the series.
Sadly I lost interest in the mainline series before the 3DS games came out.

And my big project of June. Each one drawn and painted on Canvas to be Triptych for our front hallway.
Each one was painted over a week in acrylics. The bulbasaur my own design, the squirtle based off one of the classic cards, and the charmander was inspired by another artists drawing.

Another animated emote for Iklicki.
This one was the last one I made in Clip Studio Paints basic animation suite before I realised I needed a more dedicated animation software.

Odd selection of emotes that were also picked up during June. The OC on the far left is a Gargoyle for Juniper. That one gave me a lot of trouble trying to fit into a chibi aesthetic.

My clients voted on a set of Pride emotes in June which seemed appropriate.

June, what a month. I got taken over by a fascination with Acrylic painting that's still going strong.

And my Collar Days picture. XD
I remember finishing these emotes for my clients, and boyfriend looked over my shoulder and said "those look like that Gorillaz album".
I couldn't help myself, I cobbled together this mock up of a Collar Days album cover. This one makes me smile each time I see it.

The NonaMuffin.
A client requested their friend drawn as a muffin, apparently I hope Oddworld on the brain very strongly in May. Because I based the picture design on RuptureFarms food advert posters. That game had some amazing artwork behind it.

Part of my happy wiggle animation set.
Some clients had ears, others didn't but did have wings. So I compromised on making independent animations based on their anatomy.

My little Godzilla in a Monkey onesie chibi's I made for boyfriend.

A Raventaur quick sketch which turned into one of favourite practice exercises. This is based on #oddworld Steef design for the Stranger. This is straight up study of one of his portraits from the game art. I love the body proportions that was used for this taur style and want to play with it more

Alot happened in May artwise. I started picking up small animation projects that would start my exploration into better animation software.

A last little bundle of emotes I did at the end of April to finish the month off.

Oh, and also her obsession with MyMelody. We have statues and plushies of her all over the house now.

This one MyMelody statue, that I painted for my wife in the colours of her OC. This seemingly innocent statue was the start of my obsession with acrylic painting.

This ChuChu picture from #gundam Witch of Mecury was something both me and wifey talked about since we saw that episode. It was only in this April where I felt confident enough to draw it.

April was the start of me going down the rabbit hole of Acrylic paints and animation. Although I squeezed in some practice with facial expressions.

March was my quietest month for Art. How appropriate that the only SFW work I did was of my wfie's OC suffering burnout.

Growing up Ampharos was one of my favourites, and any run in Pokemon gold would include grinding that grass to get a Mareep early. Seeing the mega ampharos with glorious fur mullet inspired this little basic design of an anthro mega Amph

This basic little emote was the start of my descent into animation this year. I'd seen the boykisser emote done with this tail wag and made my own for a partner. Oh would my tail animations evolve this year.

February was my quieter month, focusing on practicing and studying some fundamentals.
