I'm especially happy with this month's patreon sticker!! The colors came out so vibrant. I probably love it just because it's so blue. My brain loves blue

A few color tests for Megrez! I’m having so much fun playing with lighting. I wish every scene had a little glowing creature in it

I’ve been quiet here bc I’ve been traveling - but I needed to pop in to say that I filled up my water bottle at a gas station soda fountain today and somehow ended up with a cursed hi-c / water combo

I was packing up some art to send to @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social and I realized I never shared this illo! This one wasn’t for a project, it was just for fun. Usually when I draw for fun I end up drawing a lot of stars and clouds lol

I've been trying to teach myself how to draw horses better. Luckily it's not hard at all because their legs are so normal and very easy to understand

I've had the pleasure of watching Casket @casketjones.bsky.social develop their new comic "Chicken Legs." What an impressive debut! Great drawing, fun premise, and a real eye for all the finer points of comic book storytelling that can make a page sing. Go look! chickenlegs.the-comic.org/comics/1/

It’s been two years since we met our dog. She walked into that tiny room, so scared and still healing - and immediately curled up in my partners lap. I still have no idea how a dog that’d been let down so many times could be so trusting. Happy birthday, Tibby. Please stop getting older okay

There's something about having done your taxes and the turdotax ads no longer spike your cortisol... I feel like I've broken a psychic curse

I just love clicking around the internets and stumbling upon someone's whole beautiful fictional universe that they're slowly building through comics or pose or anything. I love stories

My dog has leaned that if she lays on her back and looks up at me with sad eyes I won’t make her go to bed. I can’t handle it. She’s too cute and I’m only human goddamn it

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
