Specimen caught approx. 2 minutes after raiding the staff room's supply of snacks.

Tutorial 1.1 Gotta start at the bottom and read through all the parts ya wanna skip. The trick to mastering programs and moving from one to another ive found is to just force yourself to read the documentation line by line and follow along with the tutorials of 'open a new file using File > New'

Today was supposed to be more practice and then it turned out cute so I put a lil more polish in it and added lighting and a sticker border. Do tigers also butt wiggle before launching the hit n run?

So Im shifting to a screenless tablet for better posture and starting PT for my shoulder, and the pain has been way better for me. Time to practice and make lil doodles to get that coordination back from using my smart tablet to draw all the time

I love drawing scales, so pulling back for comic/animation designs feels so bad. But knowing I can save my hand hours of repeating squares feels so good. It shall remain for illustration and super closeups only

Oklahoma is always going to be a special place for my heart. Nothing will replace the red earth, towering storm clouds, and yote screeches at night. Where my mother's tribe has traveled since time immemorial. But healing cannot happen when hurt still occurs, and the kiowa have always migrated so...

Coyote in a field of sunflowers I wanted to do some furry style work after doing so much comic stuff and this was a self-indulgent piece of how I've been feeling lately. Maybe a postcard print? Little glimmers of euphoria are like sunbeams you have to catch between flowers #furry #furryart #coyote

Digital art of a of a furry coyote tilting its head up towards the sunlight with a closed eye smile and blurred foreground and background sunflowers surround it.

Fast tracking prints and deciding on what size Nargacuga looks best and ships well. I think I may save the 11x17 for in person since it may not ship as easily. The medium 4.5x11 seems like it would be the easiest to get to people without bends and shipping damage.

A series of prints in various sizes of the monster hunter monster Nargacuga. Featuring an 11x17 print, 4.5x8 print, 5x7 print and two bookmarks in large and small. Nargacuga is rendered in watercolor with ink with digital shading and adjustments.

It's pride month! On one hand- happy pride!!! On the other, things are getting worse in places like where I am in oklahoma. Especially for trans people. So keep your bricks on you and (aaaaaah get me outta here) keep fighting and surviving.

Starting a special sketchbook. Trying to stop using a pencil to sketch and just go in with a ballpoint. It's my self imposed homework for line confidence.

Deciding to try and post more, even when I freeze up thinking its not going to be useful or insightful enough to bother with posting. Maybe just throwing out little moments all the time for practice.

When you panic to get a piece of art done for posting BC your social media feed hasn't been updated in days and you feel compelled to put something out. ...And it turns out great. ...And the one you've taken your time planning and working on for two weeks you want to throw in the trash.
