Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall.

Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost β€œhome” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

A black and white rabbit drawing. It is leaping through white space with two leaves bordering it decoratively. The rabbit has ticked fur and closed eyes and appears content. The page itself has small printed black dots in a grid.

They're not exactly your traditional herd-mates, but they all seem to love a good frolic in the meadow.

Another nature spirit drawn in blue and red pencil. It has a wet shaggy mane covering its eyes, and two horns made out of wood. It has big paws and a tail that drags on the ground, and subtle stripes.

Ooh, ok! These are great photos. I'm tempted to say Bombus vandykei, because the cheek seems shorter than my other closest guess B. flavifrons. Either way, they're both small, scruffy little bumbles

I feel like I see a lot of mustelids these days :0c Badgers and stoats and the like. I think?? A lot of them have that kinda ~Patagonia brand of outdoorsy wear to them. I also see a lot with just like.. forested landscapes drawn onto them in place of markings. If that makes sense

A digital reference sheet for a nature spirit. It has long flowing fur in a light tan color, though on its side along wing-like fur protrusions, are squiggle like markings. It has two sponges growing on its small head that resemble horns. It's "nature feature" sprouting from its back is a large chunk of quartz. It has three glowing lemon sharks swimming around it

A pink psychedelic horse-like nature spirit, with lavender stripes and spots on its midsection. Around its neck are winged maple seeds, two of them forming horn-like protrusions. in the upper corner are three young baby bullfinches. They're the spirit's familiars

This nature spirit fades from a dark brown head into a white rump, with scale-like markings making the transition. It has ferns clustered around its head that resemble hair, though under special circumstances, the ferns overtake the creature's whole body. It has a single horn on its forehead to which a flag is tied

This spirit is mostly sleek black fur, though around its head are organic white patterns. Its front legs are made out of dead branches, which form into hoof-like shapes at the bottom. It has a deer-like look to it.

I've been drawing nature ghosts lately (for an #art game called Those Who Went Missing)

A young herring gull flies off of a cliff with a black crab in its bill. Behind it, tall clouds loom over a now-calm ocean. Seaside goldenrod waves in the foreground. The colors are greens and oranges and have a nostalgic feel to them.

A hand drawn map of a fantasy campus, in a watercolor style. The buildings have red tile roofs, and they sit perched on white chalk cliffs with dark foliage on top. It's vaguely mediterranean in appearance.

The character is standing straight with their hands placed on the bottom of a warhammer, using it as a prop. The drawing is black and white. The character is middle-aged, short, and has a tuft of black wavy hair poking out from under a patterned hood. They have iron armor boots, large leather gloves, and a patterned tunic. There are several spider-web motifs on the hood and the tunic that allude to their commitment to Lolth.

ANYWAYS, some character art for a #D&D NPC I got attached to.

God, I'm glad I graduated before GPT, but also I want my masters someday. Though right now it feels like a bit of a pipe dream with what's happening in the US (gestures vaguely) hell world.
