Thinking about bug people today. I think this guy is called 'Manny' now because I kept hearing it over and over again from my kids audiobook. #art #digitalart #oc

Had an idea for a race of frog goblins, tentatively named 'froblins' that I'm testing out, trying to nail down a style. Tried to land in the middle of a few takes I had. Let me know how I can improve on this idea! I'm looking at you @jorion.bsky.social #Art #CharacterDesign #Frog #Goblin

Has anyone else ever noticed squirrels completely freezing up mid snack? Is it PTSD? Did they forget they were squirrels? Makes me laugh every time

Also I found this in the bottom tray. I assume it's white gouache as there was evidence of it's use in the tray itself. What is this lid? Is it for hanging from a nail?

First stop on the magical mystery #watercolor tour is this vintage Marabu watercolor set. Nearest I can guess it could be from the 60s? in West Germany! It's missing a few colors but they look fantastic and vibrant. I especially like the silver and gold. #vintagetreasures

I found some old mystery #watercolor paints at a garage sale for $1.50!! I imagine some of them are quite toxic? Going to sort and clean the goo off them and make some color swatches! #bargainhunting #vintagetreasures

Finished this up in the hot sun at our booth at the Lavender Festival nearby. I'm liking this more 'line and wash' approach to keep me from going crazy with too much realism! #watercolor #painting #art #lavender #honeybee

Ouchy... I fell down a #blacksmithing hole for the last month. Had a lot of fun though, and I did my first forge weld today! Did some more watercolors also, coming soon 😗 Anyone got any ideas for cool things to make? Giant swords are out, but dull butter knives are definitely in.

It happened again... I fell down an #GameDev rabbit hole and started working on a semi-cozy magical farming incremental mashup using the character I designed the other day. This is just a #mockup but I have a working prototype going in just under a week! Encouraging progress! #indiedev #godot

It's time for another @dmacalvert.bsky.social #MashupMayhem ! This time I rolled Goblin and Cowboy so I went with a more sketchy sepia rendering. Makes me want to play Peglin... #art #digitalart #characterdesign #goblin

Nobody told me you can use gradient maps on just lineart! I'm also noticing I have a long way to go before I can draw the same line over and over again consistently. Even with onion skinning this was hard. #Art #Animation #DigitalArt #ClipStudioPaint
