iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

(day 6: ogre) It's 2026 and I had to resort to homestuck. Remember when homestuck had like imps and ogres and whatnot? No you don't #inktober #inktober2026 #homestuck

Crude ogre from homestuck. Yknow, like the imps but big.

I also didn't know how to pull off the pose with smashing the ground so it looks more like he's smashing something at desk height. Sorta. I hope that makes sense

(day 5: smack) Smack as in like. Talking smack. That counts, right? Why am I explaining myself, I'm supposed to be doing whatever! This doesn't matter!! Well the "bullying a random bystander" angle could use more expression work, yeah. #inktober #inktober2026 #scalie #toad #eel

Zinovya (frog (toad)), Andras (eel (?)), collectively shittalking someone offscreen.

Well ok Zinovya seems way too excited about it.

Haven't done anything digital in color in a while. Threw this together before sleep. I do not know how to render metal whatsoever! Also finished MM7 this week! Marrow furnace for Dr Wily. Now #megaman #burstman

Burst Man and a Met HELPLESSLY TRAPPED in an IMPENETRABLE BUBBLE to everyone's sheer HORROR

(day 4: cactus) Very ugly weird cactus that we have at home. Why did they invent this #inktober #inktober2026

Cactus sketch, except the cactus is like... several dozens small cacti? I don't know what specific kind of cactus this is. It's whatever

(day 3: miniature) Bit early. Model car that has been sitting on the top of my desk definitely gotta count as something miniature. As I'm typing this Fourmaux is in the second place in Rally Italia! Unless I'm actively jinxing the team right now. I mean it's Hyundai, so #inktober #WRC #hyundai

Sketch of Adrien Fourmaux's rally car. Well, 1:16 model of the actual car. That's still car

(day 2: relic) If i want to do self-indulgent ocean scenery stuff like this is necessary #inktober

Old chest underwater. That counts as a relic! Ok I think there isn't even anything left in the chest, is it really a relic at that point

(day 1: apple) Trying to get out of my comfort zone. Hope I can get far enough into this! I mean the amount of trees I've ever tried to draw is really not a lot. #inktober

Crusty-looking apple tree in a garden. I think apple trees look like that. It's been a while

Been playing MM7 and i just kinda like the guy. Trying to get a grasp on megaman designs feels tough but that's life #megaman #burstman

Burst Man sketches (from Megaman 7). There's been some attempts at coloring

Her ass does not know who Fatboy Slim is. #toad #frog #scalie

Zinovya the horrid middle-aged frog again. Loudly on the phone. Wearing the "I'M #1 SO WHY TRY HARDER" tshirt, y'all know the one.

Haven't even made up a name for this guy yet. He's very, *very* obviously inspired by all of YMO and also by Sparks a little bit. Design-wise the "poster" prolly has issues, I'm no designer for sure, but it was a fun experiment. You gotta have fun with it, right

I DON'T KNOW, I COULD BE WRONG BUT IT SEEMS TO ME IT'S ALL GONNA WORK OUT #poster #furry #hare

Dapper-looking unnamed hare OC in a poster kinda design. Lyrics from Yukihiro Takahashi's "It's Gonna Work Out" shamelessly pasted in the background

Really love how you work with your typography like that, on top of everything else. This feels very playful and it fits and its awesome

Zinovya, normal morning I've been trying to force myself to do draw on paper and it's been a struggle but you gotta do it. #toad #frog #scalie

Zinovya (oc, middle-aged toad woman (the frog one. not the mario one)). Having a completely adequate reaction to waking up any earlier than like, 2 PM. Am i projecting here? Surely not

Making a big ol' pinned post for once. Hi, I'm Jade! Or J. Etc. Amateur hobbyist artist, hoping to keep working towards getting better. Hope to connect to more people on here; do feel free to reach out. Don't have much else going on here at the moment! But we'll see. #furryartist (...mostly?)

Lizard with horrid posture and a graphic tablet. Hi. That's me

Quick (sorta) photo studies. These are both rough in different ways and I'm not exactly happy with them, but they can't all be winners can they. Just like the Williams torture labyrinth this year! #f1 #art #carlossainz #alexalbon

Carlos Sainz photo study. Color balance is a bit off, I think. He also looks sorta shellshocked, but honestly every single photo of him in 2026 sorta looks like that, so

Alex Albon photo study. This is definitely noticeably *off*, although I think I got the eye shape right. Texture and colors seem to be better here though

( #artfight 2026 ) Attack on @batgalitz.bsky.social featuring their frog librarian Nemi! Cursed to hear random passersby at 2 am I think artfight somehow just led me to a lot of different frogs. #frog

Nemi, frog librarian, standing in a terribly-lit library corridor, actively hearing someone out of the view despite her wishes

Delightful filmmaker gremlin. #artfight 2026 attack on mimisues (@mimi.sues on instagram) featuring their cryptid Braxie. #alien

Flatwoods-inspired alien Braxie staring down a butterfly; in an attempt to get maybe like 10 seconds of wildlife footage. Hopefully. Come think of it, this doesn't look like a camcorder, this is just a normal camera. I didn't think this through. We can just say that alien camcorders look like that.

Properly starting out here. #artfight 2026 attack on @mikashida.bsky.social featuring their frog Arao. #furry #scalie <- (do frogs count as scalies? Close enough in my book, i think)
