Ahh yes, it's all coming together. Just need to add some more details. #wip #watercolor #cat

Watercolor of cat standing on a light garden path at night. The flowers are a warm violet. Lanterns light the path.

First layer is looking a bit spookier than I planned lol. But hopefully it'll get a bit more whimsical with more color #wip #watercolor #cat

Spent $850 at two vets to have confirmed that my bird is fat. We're going on a diet lol.

@cozykathryn.com book 6 is HEFTY! I love seeing it physically on the shelf. (Also it seems like I either misplaced Horns of the Hunt when I moved or forgot to order it 😅 I'll have to rectify that)

Initially, this was supposed to be a funny drawing of Aly being annoyed by birds in the morning, but I could not get the birds right, so here's her ready for a fight! And I had fun adding some iridescent paints. @cozykathryn.bsky.social I'll get the birds down next time 😂 #art #watercolor

Alyssandra, pink haired, armored elf. Ready for battle.

There was going to be birds in this sketch but nope. They just didnt look right 😆 so I just changed the whole concept

Going back even further into the archives to when I was learning to use gouache. @cozykathryn.bsky.social your stories got me to try new things! First gouache and then ink! As a rogue main in rpgs, these two were my automatic faves. Rooting for their romance to end well!

#ThrowbackThursday (are we still doing those?) to my ink drawing inspired by @cozykathryn.bsky.social 's Marsilia being badass. Spicy cinnamon roll, indeed. She can heal. She can send you to the afterlife. #fanart #traditionalart

Ink drawing of Marsilia, good boy Shuck, and good spirit raven Astud. Marsilia and Shuck have red eyes, Shuck has more eyes than usual.

My largest painting of the year so far (9x14.5'') after a looong break from art. This goes with the lastest chapter of my crime family novel I don't talk enough about. I post it on Scribblehub (though I'm open to suggestions to other places) www.scribblehub.com/series/84930...

I finally got to writing this scene! (Well, kinda, there's another one 5 chapters later) The painting took me almost a week of painting. Totally wrecked my back 😂
