Kickstarter for the board game contract launches in a little over a week. After, I'm planning to ask my boss for a couple of weeks so I can clear out as much of my owed work as possible before going back to contract stuff. Hoping at that point I should have a better work/work balance, lmao.

Payment processors, banks, & politicians knew we would slow down to a halt eventually if they held out long enough. If you're not still calling, writing, emailing, @ ing on socials, what-have-you (though calls are best), now is as good of a time as any to start back up.

So, a cool thing happened at closing ceremonies. I am pleased to announce I'll be a Guest of Honor at @furrymigration.org next year. Honored by and excited for the opportunity!

A mock computer desktop screen shows a game booted in windowed mode, with four members od an adventuring party queued and ready to start play. The first three party members are Rico (labeled as the Con Chair/Party Lead), Inkmaven (Artist/Guest of Honor), Vonzent (Artist/Guest of Honor), and the fourth member, also a guest of Honor, has errored out.

We're all set up at #FurryMigration! Come see us at booth E63. I have at-con commissions open, and we have absorbed a pillar (by choice!) #FM2026 #FurryMigration2026

The Inkmaven Art booth set up in the dealer's den at Furry Migration 2026. The table has been moved next to a nearby pillar, which has been covered with prints. Screen printed shirts, wall scrolls, lanyards, stickers, and other colorful goodies are displayed.

Our fest job started yesterday, and typically Monday would be a rest day after two 12ish hour days on our feet outdoors... But contract work means deadlines, so there will be no such rest for me this week! I am armed with caffeine, wish me luck 🙏🧋✨️

Since I am not con crunching for this one I had the opportunity to scan it at several stages: initial inking pass, line weighting, and toning. You'd be forgiven for thinking my lines are done when all of the pencil is replaced with ink, but not so! Kinda fun to watch it all come together.

Today' work was very slow going, but I finished this toned lineart for @talon.dragonchat.org ! Very much looking forward to the eventual digital colors on this one. #furry • #furryart • #anthro • #traditional • #traditionalart

A grey piece of toned paper featuring an illustration of Talon, a maned dragon. His wings are spread and he gracefully arches across the page, thoroughly wrapped in aerial silks, danging from one outstretched leg. The silks bind tightly around his hips and tail, keeping him aloft.

Thunderstorms this morning means no big rattly equipment on the roads, and Wisp is living her best life again. What a sweetheart.

Grey tabby Will o' Wisp is belly up on the couch, curled around her human's hand as she happily receives belly pets.

Inkmaven @ FM @inkmaven.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

While Wisp's eyes are no longer a concern, she has taken to hiding all day in the closet downstairs because the bulldozers and rollers working on our roads outside are shaking the whole house and causing quite a fright. Poor kiddo. Not sure if I should be trying to coax her out or let her be.

Will o' Wisp, a grey tabby, sits nestled in between some clothing and cardboard boxes.

Forgot to formally update but the mysterious eye thing was completely gone by morning (???) So I have no idea what to think. At least it saved us a surprise trip to the vet, but I'm going to keep a close eye on her for the next few days.

Inkmaven @ FM @inkmaven.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Ohhhh boy it looks like Wisp has some sort of a corneal abrasion, but it's 11pm here. Arden is going to call the vet tomorrow and see if we can get her looked at. No idea how that might have happened, poor bean 😰

A piece I don't think I ever posted of my current D&D character, Tarot. They're a paladin of an old, forgotten god of chaos. #digital • #digitalart • #humanoid • #OCsky • #repostyourart

Tarot (he/they) the dusky purple firbolg sits cross-legged on the floor in their camp clothes. Their chin rests in one hand, and they look offscreen thoughtfully. The amulet of their god, Adna, hangs loose around their neck: a simple oval with am engraving like a fan or wheel, spokes swirling outward from the center.

For @timegear.ink featuring @arukanoda.bsky.social's Tal'whe. When your well-traveled friend takes you to the market festival for the first time ✨️🍎🐟 #digital • #digitalart • #humanoid • #fowldyr • #repostyourart

Looking down on a narrow section of golden cobblestone, Vesma (front) is completely amazed as she slowly wanders between market stalls, with Tal'whe close behind. There are colored flags fluttering overhead and many fresh foods to be purchased in the stalls. In honor of the festival, Vesma and Tal'whe have swapped some clothing elements: Vesma is wearing a rusty silk sash with golden coins and orange fingerless arm gloves, while Tal'whe has adopted her friend's bluish tones by way of a sash with red fringe.

I am absolutely exhausted from vacation, and slowly coming to the realization that I haven’t had a real "break" in weeks so I think a few days of rest are in my future. I may pick at commissions today and then get some mail prepped if I have the energy but besides that, I intend to be horizontal.

Various traditional #artfight attacks from this week! I bought these scrapbook paper cards like two years ago and have barely put a dent in my stock despite having used a lot of them, lol. #traditional • #traditionalart • #humanoid • #artfight2026

A woman with tanned skin, an unusually long neck, and blue-green horns winks at the camera. Her mossy green hair is loosely tied into a bun, with loose strands that are starting to break free. She wears a neck wrap the same color as her horns, and a dark navy blue shawl. She is framed by rolling golden dunes, and a metallic gold/rich blue border. There's a mechanical pencil and metallic gold marker laid near the piece for scale.

An illustration of a blue-skinned woman with an undercut. The long portion of her hair is white, but the "shaved" sides have a texture like crystal. Her pointed ears and shoulders are covered in sapphire scales, and her arms are crossed. Her stoic pose mirros the rather serious look on her face.

A textured piece of chocolate brown paper features a sketch of a young man with brown hair, a large jacket, and a satchel. His jacket and the edges of the paper are decorated with metallic gold designs. His hands are in his pockets, and he looks thoughtfully to one side.

POV: Torreys Peak from the saddle.

POV: you are Ink, sitting at a trail marker between Greys and Torreys peaks in the Rockies, at about 13,700 feet of elevation. You are seated in a pile of scrag, with Torreys peak to the left, a shaded valley to the right, and small fluffy clouds overhead. Your legs are crossed and you're waiting for your companions to return from Torrey's Peak.

I am mostly free of contract work for the next few weeks while the company is at a con. This week Arden and I are on vacation and I plan to focus on artfight, then it's back to commissions (finally!) when I'm home and in the office again. So if you see an influx of personal art, now you know why!

Leah appreciation post 🍃 All art pieces (and character) belong to @kaneewing.bsky.social ! #traditional • #traditionalart • #anthro • #furry • #furryart • #repostyourart

Leah the dryad-vixen preens her "fur", pulling stray leaves and smoothing down the vegetation that covers her arm as she reclines gracefully.

Leah sits on a tree stump, holding a freshly plucked flower. Motes of pollen float in the air around her, and a few creeping vines of the same plant twine around the base of the stump. She gives the viewer a half-lidded smile.

Leah crouches amongst the boughs of a tree, her voluminous hair and tail filling out the branches. Her arms grab the branch above her head, one knee folded to rest on a thicker load bearing branch just below waist level. She has the same alluring smile that seems natural to her face.

Leah luxuriates in a bed of grass and flowers, her arms behind her head and buried in her textured hair. It splays out on the ground behind her, gently displacing the vegetation.

An illustration of blue dragonborn Nyomtasaliath (Nyom for short). He is wearing fine blue robes with decorative gold and silver trim, as well as a belt with leather accessories. Next to his body is a breakdown of his major stats (strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. Nyom excels mostly in Constitution and Wisdom, and is fairly average in all other stats.)

A golden skinned woman with voluminous crimson hair rests cross legged in a tall wing backed chair. She's dressed in khakis and a button-up shirt, but her heels have been discarded for comfort. In one of her four hands is her cell phone, she seems ware that it is necessary for the moment, but is paying it the least amount of attention possible. She looks quite bored.

Angus, a humanoid with wavy black hair streaked with white, stands at the bottom of the frame looking up. Looming over him is a dusky purple, monstrous hand with sharp claws. A toothy smile hangs farther in the background, and the two are surrounded with a jagged, smoky looking essence of some kind. It envelops Angus, swirling around him. His regularly blue eyes reflect some of the sickly yellow of the essence.
