My painting WESTERN DOWNS

20 Days left on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter!

Today, I figured I'd share the colored version of the short, 5-page comic I wrote for The sparkFLAME Anthology from earlier this year -- with lineart by @mikeluckas.bsky.social and colors by @loopyyylupe.bsky.social!

(Pages 1 and 2)

Hehe thanks! I'll definitely share him here from time to time

King Cheetah!

Like, I get that taking a popular TV host off the air is hugely representative of the problems right now, but the censorious efforts of Republicans are literally trying to get trans people's existence labelled as pornography and punishable by 20+ years and $100K fines for literally existing online.

Didn't know Captain Kirk was chill like that ✨
Took Rodeo to the Anthrohio picnic last week 🌵
Hope y'all don't mind the occasional fursuit posts on here lol, I'm proud of how he turned out

I specialize in painted covers and do interiors as well!

Figured I'd make a pinned post

I still have to make actual art for him, most of the art I have was planning stuff for his design for the suit haha so he's changed a bit throughout the process. Need to make a proper ref sheet sometime

This is literally Troy Bolton

I'm super happy with how he's come out so far, it's been such a fun side project.
Took him on a test run at #matsuricon2025 yesterday and had fun running around as a cringey dumb stuffed animal again. Thank you everyone for the compliments on him !!! It seriously means so much ❤️

It was impossible for me to handle wearing costumes, or do theater at all which was really upsetting. I've been able to control and treat my disabilities well enough in recent years that I felt comfortable trying it out again. So I decided to make Rodeo between projects and commissions
