Boo 2017-2026 You are sorely, dearly missed. My biddy Boo. You were always one in a million.

Been figuring out how to acrylic marker lately as a nice change of pace. It's been difficult to differentiate between an absence of energy or a sense of serenity that I'm not accustomed to. And so, lacking deeper inspiration, I train my quiescent trad art skills on landscapes. #arrtx #acrylicmarkers

Here's more of that tiger-like one (code named: Black Hole Tiger). I may do more with this one in particular since it combines two of my favorite things; tigers and black holes.

Side view of the "Black Hole Tiger", with its jaws opened in a wide snarl. A faint light can be seen being emitted from the hole in the center of its forehead.

A forward-facing view of the "Black Hole Tiger". A black hole actually visible in the hole in the center of its forehead.

The same forward-facing view except the void in the center of its head is empty.

Been obsessed with drawing a specific type of critter lately. I feel compelled to call them Daemons, but might go with something more original later. We'll see. Right now its just a concept inspired by a dream (the OG being the lion-like one), that I've sort of been running with.

Ruptured purity. Crop in the thread.

A stylized and detailed digital painting of a wyvern and a unicorn locked in combat. The composition is circular/spiraling with the dragon sort of wrapped around the unicorn, its teeth sinking into its back while a back leg is drawn up, talons scraping down the unicorn's flank. Stylized blue smoke pours from its nostrils and around its great curved neck while the unicorn's horn strikes through its armored chest and out its back, tendrils of stylized blood spray unfurl in flourishes that coil around some of the smoke and down one side of the composition, again coiling around one of the wyvern's wings and a part of its tail. The unicorn's expression is fierce, teeth bared in a furious battle cry. The wyvern seems too focused on being locked into its prey that it hasn't yet noticed the fatal blow.

Noble Espionage. More crops in the thread.

An illustration of a highly detailed, symmetrical drawing of two foxes fighting; pressed chest to chest, jaws open in defiance of one another, mirroring each other, unable to separate due to the ornate collar ensnaring both of their necks, binding them together. A series of small, golden, swords jut from various openings in the collar. In the centre of the collar, is a very obvious keyhole. The foxes' nine tails branch out behind them, neatly and precisely entangled by stylized vines dotted with blue columbine flowers. At the roots of the narrow tree that can be seen sprouting behind the foxes - something of the source of all the vines and flowers - roots can be seen splaying out, once again ensnaring the legs of the foxes and pouring from the eye sockets of a human skull. Perched in a nest directly above the foxes' heads, is a European magpie with a golden key clutched in its beak. The next is overflowing with treasures like a golden goblet, a ring, and a broken pearl necklace that drapes from the nest itself and entwines around the nearby branches, almost like a banner suspended over the dueling foxes.

A crop of the aforementioned image, focusing on the foxes' head, their open jaws locked over one another.

Some WIPs previews. Apparently, when left to my own devices, I like to draw things fighting each other.

The unicorn fiercely pierces the dragon's chest with its horn, although the blood that sprouts forth seems to be "infecting" the unicorn, spraying over its face and neck in dark veins that complement the curling and detailed lines that comprise their manes.

Whether that's learning how to better navigate my life, overcome my personal shortcomings, process what I've been through, and to be content with who I am and what I'm capable of, or learning how to navigate 3D art software, I hope 2026 will be the year that I actually make something truly amazing.

2025 was technically a great year for me, which I'm truly grateful for, especially after having come out of what felt like a very long gauntlet of trials and traumas. I don't feel like I've produced a lot of impressive work this year, I've mostly been focused on self-improvement and learning -

3D render of a lean female werewolf against a forested backdrop at night. She is hunched over in an aggressive position at the camera, snarling fiercely. She has dark red eyes that match the dark red of her fur. The lower part of her face is tan, as is her underside, while her extremities are black.

A 3D rendering of two characters facing one another in a confrontation. The taller is a young man with fox-like tail and paws, he has swept-back horns on his brow and long, dark red, hair. He is gesturing angrily at a shorter, voluptuous figure of an elder woman in a dark dress with waist-length, wavy, gray hair. Her hands are on her hips as she glares defiantly at the other. A basket sits with a mysterious box on the ground between them. The background is forested, but the two stand on on a brick road that makes up the exterior landing of a castle, part of which can be seen behind the woman.

A 3D rendering of a cat seated upon a fancy pillow. A jeweled crown hangs around its narrow shoulders. All objects appear as though they're made of bronze or aged copper.

If you see this, post a picture from your device without explanation.

A cat so black, even against a bright wooden floor, his features become lost against his fur, and only two round eyes peer up at the camera from the void.

When the Many-Taled Trickster became the tricked. A scene from Valefar's past. Crops in the thread. #dnd #dndoc #oc

Illustrated scene of a horse-sized, monstrous, fox (kitsune) severely injured in a burning, fae, forest, pausing to rest by a stream. He's bleeding, having become more mortal through the loss of most of his tails, while attempting to escape the hail of black witch arrows that now protrude from several places on his subtly glowing form. The blood is in dramatic contrast to the pure white of his fur. Notably, the kitsune has small horns on his brow, and his proportions and features are more exaggerated when compared to an actual fox.

Colored sketch commission I got a little carried away with in the spirit of the season (Halloween). A Worgen shadow priestess character corrupted by the Old Gods. I don't think she has a name yet. Fuller image in the thread.

A Worgen (werewolf from World of Warcraft), in an arched-back sort of pose, mouth agape as thorny, multi-eyed tentacles spill from her gullet. She has multiple, glowing, eyes on her face and parts of her body, and large, crescent-shaped, horns. The corrupted magic is manifesting as dark purple tentacles pouring from the back her head, as well as horns poking through her hips and arms.

Happy Halloween, Bluesky! 🎃Or should I say "Howl-o-ween"? 🐺

A fully rendered, shoulders-up, portrait of a tan and dark brown werewolf transforming in a dark forest. The light of a campfire can be seen in the background, and the glow of a large full moon can be seen peaking through shadowy trees behind the werewolf's head.

Colored sketch with loosely rendered background of a dark brown werewolf on all fours, stepping out of the grass at the edge of a paved road. Light from an oncoming car(?) catching the tapetum lucidum of its eyes, making them glow slightly. In its mouth is the lower part of a bloody, human arm. A small, plastic jack-o-lantern bucket clinging loosely to it.

A side-view of a man, screaming in agony, as he transforms. The composition is unusual in that his back is to the top of the canvas, as if pinned to the ceiling, indicating that his world is being turned upside down by this. Blood falls in straight lines from his yawning, sharp-toothed, mouth and the emerging talons from his finger tips. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive.

A cozy, living room scene of three characters - two of which are werewolves. One is on the floor, his back resting against the cough with a large bowl of popcorn between his forepaws. There are popcorn crumbs stuck to his nose and scattered about on his chest fur. Despite this, he's looking quite grumpy, likely because of the other two cuddling behind him, therefore ruining his full moon vibe. The werewolf on the couch rests over the human's legs with a peaceful and content look on his face, his head in the young man's lap, who is gently petting him. The window in the background frames a full moon peeking out between stormclouds as rain pelts the glass.

Been drawing a lot lately. Sassy werebird, Zen, and their tormented human form, Gabe, for Onom. Love this character.

A collection of six sketches of the same character, Gabe, transforming into a toothy, werebird-like creature with pointed ears and wing-arms, named Zen, who is based on a jackdaw.

Finished the little maquette of Autumn, but she's been kind of hard to get good pictures of in the way I would like. Guess I just need to fiddle with it a bit more. Autumn was sculpted in Zbrush, rendered in Blender.

Same werewolf but more of a foreward-facing shot, close-up, of her snarling face. The dark red of her eyes is more clearly seen here.

Full-body side-view of the werewolf. Once again the lighting is a bit more moody, a contrast between moonlight and some off-camera lamplight in the background.

Inspired by Silent Hill F. I love demon foxes so much. I just think they're neat. Doodle sculpt in Zbrush, rendered in Blender.

The bust of a demonic fox with wildly exaggerated features and black eyes, although the third eye on its forehead has a glowing, red iris with broad, dilated pupil. A small foxfire is suspended over it, vaguely reflected in the void of the pupil. It has a broadly grinning mouth with too many sharp teeth and two, lolling tongues. A glowing, round jewel is suspended between them. Three other small foxfire flames surround it, adorning a mysterious, swirling texture behind the fox's head.

The same fox head rendered from a 3/4 right side view. The swirling painted textures are more easily viewable on its neck.

The same fox head at a slightly more left-sided, 3/4 view. The irregular structure in the background illuminated by some soft backlighting frames the foreground nicely at this angle.

This is Boo. He is round, and what he lacks in a tail he makes up for in the length of his hind legs. He also would like to try whatever you're eating.

Haligren @haliteatiger.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

No longer confined to A-pose, Autumn is now slightly more dynamic at the cost of a few bits of detail and what not, which is fine. Nothing I probably wouldn't nitpick to death anyway. I think the model itself is nearly done. Next I wanna make some props to turn this into a little vignette.

A WIP 3D rendering of a skinny, female, werewolf. She is mostly a dark red, with dark extremities and pale underside. She is in an aggressive pose, wide stance with arms out stretched and back slightly hunched. Her hackles are up and her snarl is fierce. Her eyes are dark save for a small glint of blood red. She is supported by a small round platform.

The same werewolf but a little closer, knees-up, three quarter view.

Haligren @haliteatiger.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Setting aside the quest for full on rigging and fur for something a little more indulgent. I wanna make a usable model some day but honestly right now I just sorta wanna make something more... complete in its own right. And have fun doing it.

A close up of a WIP 3D model of a snarling red werewolf. Sort of a top-down, three quarters view. Notably the eyes are black save for a subtle red gleam.

Haligren @haliteatiger.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Also still hacking away at Autumn. Just a quick Snarl Test to see if her features and stuff lined up properly. Still a long way to go.

The same model from a slightly different, more top-down, angle.

A full body shot of the entire model in an A-pose. Her identity as a scrawny, female werewolf is more apparent here.

A 3D doodle inspired by that commission I got from @sorotrax.bsky.social a little while ago. c: Finally figured out what Dynamesh does and I can't believe I hadn't sooner.

A rough "sketch" of a 3D model. A dragon with tiger-like features and pointed, canine ears. It has two sets of horns that curl backward, one set curls down and around towards its jaw. It has protruding fangs and tusks similar to an Asian dragon, and bristly whiskers.

A forward-facing view of the cat-dragon.

Look at this la creatura we rescued at work. I practically begged my in-laws to allow us another cat, but alas. Can't get another animal until we move out. Funny/sad thing is that I'm 90% sure this was the kitten I saw at Petland weeks ago that I totally would have adopted if I could have.

Two photos of a tortoiseshell calico cat, predominantly black and orange tabby with big round yellow eyes. Her name is Zsazsa She is over a year old but still looks like a kitten on account of her small size and lean build.

Below the photos the text reads;

Pet ID: 9203
Sex: Female
Age: 1 year old, young
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Size: Small, 1.50 kilos
Adoption Fee: $350

This lovely girl was hiding under/near the garbage compactor by the employee door for a few days. After a daring capture by our Rapid Mobilization Team, she was bathed, fed, and taken to the Humane Society. She has remained unclaimed.

Personal Testimony from Jeannine:

Zsazsa spent the night in my bathroom after being rescued, she is a very affectionate girl. She purred and rubbed against me every time myself or my boyfriend were in the room with her. She is definitely adventurous and scaled everything she could and tried very hard to escape and meet my other cats. Very energetic, soft fur, and long, lanky build. I think she would be a perfect addition to any home.

They made this thing for Me Specifically through Careful Scientific Research.

Screenshot taken from FFXIV Mogstation Online Store of a giant, fluffy, house cat with ornate blue ribbon bow around it's neck, and an Elezen (elf) seated upon its back. The cat resembles a breed of cat called a Maine Coon and has bushy fur with brown and light brown striping, white muzzle, chest, and fore and hind paws. It is quite detailed and well-rendered.

Yet another sculpt for the bin. This time it was because a technique I was using to join subtools together was slowly corrupting the mesh and I hadn't realized it until I was almost done. This thing is basically useless now. Weeks of work fucking gone.

Unfinished Zbrush sculpt of a skinny, female werewolf.

Autumn-doodlin' time in Zbrush. I'm probably going to redo her head completely later though if I keep going with this. Was mostly just messing around and suddenly sculpted a full body. Whoops.

I really want to do another more fleshed out, painted scene from Valefar's DnD game again at some point, but posing stuff in Daz and tossing on some effects in CSP will have to do for now. Tfw you're magically compelled to bite the hand that feeds you.

3D rendering of my DnD character, Valefar, (a fox-like satyr, basically) with a wild-eyed, yet empty, look on his face. His pupils are dilated and his bloodied mouth slightly agape revealing his fangs. His face is smeared in dirt and soot.

Must be further east. No wind and the thunder is fairly faint now. Told my family if the wind starts picking up, we're going downstairs... I've been through a few tornadoes in my day and I think we're safe.
