From the sketchbook - played with one of the new watercolor paints from Schmincke, Tundra Green! It's gorgeous, 10/10 a new favorite. Painted in the Stillman and Birn Delta sketchbook which is an ivory cream color. #watercolor #dragons

Did manage to finish this and get prints in time for GWF! I finished the pencils for her years ago when she was first introduced. It was a little tricky trying to update the shapes and proportions and smooth out the textures from my old scanner, but I'm glad she's finally finished!

Was looking forward to visiting the St. Louis zoo for months, what do you MEAN the high that day is 54 degrees??? (I know this may not be cold for some folks, but I thrive in 80-90 degree weather) I only checked because I thought I might want to pack shorts for that day :/

Final commission from my summer batch! This was such a cool dragon design and color palette to work with, I had a great time!

Took advantage of the window of having power but no internet yesterday to finally start Monster Hunter World. Really enjoying it so far, but I'm absolutely overwhelmed by how much STUFF is in it, both to do and for customization. The monsters are peak though 🤌

Currently it’s looking like my town is just a smidge outside expected cone for Hurricane Isaias. Were prepped as best we can and hoping it’s going to drop from a cat 3 to a cat 2 as forecast. Praying for minimal damage and quick cleanup after 🙏

I think I did see a photo of that on here a little bit back! I would definitely love to see it in person!

There are currently 15 barding options; if you check my media tab or scroll down a bit you’ll probably see them. I’d love to do more if this does well but this was all I could manage for now with the starting budget and time o7

Holy cow, thanks for all the enthusiasm for my chocobo project! For those asking/interested, I do plan to sell these on my Etsy shop (currently US only, I’m sorry), it just might take a while to get the listing going since my schedule is packed this fall. I’ll try to update when they’re available!

Thank you!!! I’m going to try and set up an Etsy listing after the con, it just might take a bit with my packed fall schedule.

Thank you!!! I’m hoping to put up leftovers in my Etsy shop after GWF but it may take a while since my schedule is packed until Thanksgiving and I have to figure out how to best arrange the listing with options. I’ll try to make some status updates on bsky after the con. :)

The chocobos are about ready for their con debut! I’m so excited! Big thank you to @wildeprints.com which is where I got most of these stickers printed. Their stickers are super vibrant and it was a huuuge help having an actual person listen to the project needs and ensure that these would work.

When you’re trying to con prep and suddenly you also have to hurricane prep (should be ok, but always good to be safe)

Praying I can finish her in time to get prints for GWF 🙏 The original pencil sketch is actually pretty old (I think I drew it right when she was introduced?) so it's been interesting trying to clean up the older proportions, flowers, and general pencil technique, but she's coming along!

I just think it would be so sick and cool if every state would handle sales tax licenses for temporary vendors the same way (ideally the way Georgia does it where you mail in a check and form after the event and it’s free. Would love an online option but I can live with checks if it’s free).

New stickers have been sitting in an Atlanta mail distro center for 4 days now according to tracking and I’m like…please don’t be lost…I need my moogles… (usually once my packages hit Atlanta they’re out for delivery 1-2 days after).

The cover I painted for @applefordhearth.itch.io's cozy-melancholy solo journaling game Awakened Applewood! This was such a joy to work on <3. Available digitally and in print! at rpg-trader.com/products/937...

The cover for a solo journaling game called Awakened Applewood (by Appleford Hearth Studio). It is painted in watercolor, in a style meant to evoke illuminated manuscripts. The central image features a carved wooden dragon walking away from a stone shrine. Beyond is a hilltop castle with a thriving riverside town below. Surrounding the central illustration are twisting branches and four vignettes showing the dragon talking with various villagers.
