I dreamt about a documentary on the US's fall into fascism of which the final tipping point involved RFK eating mac and cheese with chopsticks. The end credits used an alt-rock song with the lyrics "we're ten ways to Rome". I'm not from the US.

A side project I’ve been tinkering with: pomodoro timers where a creature slowly grows as you work! I'm in academia and I've been binging "study with me" videos lately to keep me on track 😭 And since I have an unhealthy attachment for virtual creatures I made this little buddy. #art #characterdesign

A drawing with four stages of the same furret-like creature: egg, newborn, youngling and adult. It has a long body with six legs, big ears, a cute face and fluffy fur around the neck. The later stages have a small horn and luminous wing-like appendages.

My #adopt for the griffia Gacha! I had a ton of fun designing the clothes especially. The belt straps were meant to evoke a trellis, and I wanted the face markings to look like the stamen of a flower. I’m so happy they’ve finally got a home!

A chart I drew because a friend sent me a picture of a daddy long-legs #spider #uselesschart

A 2D plot titled "Spider size chart". x-axis: diameter. y-axis: thickness. The plot show different zones depending on the diameter and thickness of the spider. Spiders of the according thickness and diameter are drawn on the plot.
- small and non-thick: teeny tiny babies
- small and thick: cuties !! (jumping spider zone)
- medium diameter and medium thickness: normal spiders (nothing wrong with being normal)
- high diameter and low thickness: stop saying there is a big spider i'm disappointed (with a drawing of a daddy long-legs and a text saying "still cool but not big")
- medium to high diameter and medium to high thickness: "wow that is a chonky spider"
- high diameter and high thickness: i am impressed but also ma'am i will ask you to leave
- top right corner (extreme diameter and extreme thickness): this is your house now

Three pieces I did for a trade with Motiivatiion (on KoG, sorry I don't know if you're on Bluesky!) It was very nice drawing humans/humanoids! If you see this post, thank you again for trading with me <3 #digitalart #ocart

A fullbody art piece of a Baldur's Gate 3 character with light brown skin and dark brown hair. She has horns and pointy ears, wears all leather excepted for the top, where she only wears a feather coat open on her chest. Blue jewelry contrasts nicely with her skin. She has heterochromia and freckles, as well as pierced ears and nose.

A fullbody art piece of a robot cat maid. She has a robot tail and big ears. Her eyes are red and she has a mischievious expression. Her shoes have tiny little cat faces.

A fullbody art piece of a humanoid creature inspired by marine life. Her colorscheme is pink and black. She has colored sclera and big eyelashes. She's taking a alluring pose and looking down at the viewer. Her pants define her waist, and she's wearing a striped long-sleeved crop top.

A digital drawing of a Guardian (from the Kingdom of Griffia ARPG). The design is dark and mysterious, with piercing golden eyes and deep red scars.

A digital drawing of a Bagbean (from the ARPG Kingdoms of Griffia). He's inspired by a flamingo, with pink tones, big wings and black legs. He wears an old-fashioned elegant coat with a tie and small round glasses. He's looking down at the viewer while taking a smoke.

In France, April's Fool is "poisson d'Avril", lit. April fish! I'm not a big fan of pranks so I did paper fish (tried my hand at collage and watercolor) It had honestly been a while since the last time I created without purpose, and it was super nice.

A paper cutout of a goldfish painted in soft warm colors. It's pretty cute, if you ask me.

A cupboard cutout of a fish with collage elements on it (flower pictures from a magazine, brown paper, newspaper bits, washi tape, etc...)
The vibe is pink and soft and spring-like.

A collage in the shape of a fish, with meadow-themes elements (waterlilies, pond, etc...)
Words have been cut from a magazine to form the sentence: "rituel pour se souvenir d'être soi".

Hi guys! I've wanted to try my hand at designing adoptables again, and today I spotted a bunch of pigeons that made me think about Hatoful Boyfriend (a dating sim in which you date pigeons). So here's a pigeon design :D #adopts #adoptables #adoptable #art #birds

A drawing of a rock pigeon with a dark body, orange eyes and pale wings. A branch is sticking out of his butt, and he looks completely done with life.
Next to it is a human reprensentation of the same pigeon, a male-presenting character with mid-long dark hair, the same orange eyes and unamused expression. He's wearing a turtle neck under a jacket with a wide collar.
The text reads "Pigeon adoptable - 25$"

Commissions for @griffsnuff.bsky.social! More minimalist designs are so nice to draw, it almost feels meditative... It was a pleasure to draw them! You can DM me for alternative no-background versions if you want (and full-res, idk how Bluesky will compress these)

A digital drawing of a Bagbean with an elegant white, beige and blue-grey color scheme. Their theme is "Wood Fish" so they have a wood fish bag. They look stern.

A digital drawing of a Bagbean with two tails and messy blue hair. She wears an oversized t-shirt and looks nice and peppy.

A digital drawing of a witch-themed Kryptox. She wears a witch hat with moons and stars and looks fun and happy. Her eyes are bicolor.

#tokipona translation of "L'Albatros" by Charles Baudelaire, one of my favorite poems. There is a huge disparity in words endings distribution in toki pona, so it was very difficult to keep the rythm and the rhymes while conveying the meaning. Corrections and suggestions are welcome!
