Finally got the set of Gruzzles I wanted to get out there, had been messing with ideas for awhile, and wanted to have some more eccentric ideas. (some info abt them in alt text) Along with that, I may make a design guideline for Gruzzles as I would like to see other people have their own Gruzzle OC.

that phase in OC designing where I get out of my seat and start pretending I'm them and doing cool swoosh actions at nothing in particular for 10 minutes before I go back to drawing them

[Serious post, Heads up to my followers] Recently, two people I have spoken to in DMs have been hacked, so I would like to drop this message about one of the methods. Be careful of accounts acting suspicious in any manner. (some details about the hack in alt text) 1/2
A hack that involves a compromised account requesting you to join their server for an event, in this case involving their friend's birthday. They then upload a file containing a trojan which leads to the account becoming compromised and repeating the process to another person.

Commission for @experimic.bsky.social (18+ page) of their silly zorua, Tal. It was very fun working on this style of model and their trinkets!

Had heard that fat bear week was coming up and had a poster contest as well, so decided to throw my hat into the ring with another wallpaper post!

Fun fact: Ambrosia can control their resin/sap and use it in different ways. They are able to conjure some of it out of thin air but use their abilities to manipulate their body as well!

A friend mentioned how well I do when it comes to assigning heights for my characters, but honestly my metric half the time is what height I find optimal for hugs. Case in point Gruzzle fluff

Heres an updated ref for one of my long time species: Gruzzles! Had been having them for awhile but wanted to make a new ref for them!
[A ref sheet of the Gruzzle species, a group of Bee bear hybrids]

They are just over the height of an average man standing, though a little lower when on all fours.

They can produce honey, most effectively doing so after eating fruit. With this honey, they can use Honeymancy for different abilities, such as healing, firing a blast, and other cases. 

When sleeping, Gruzzles rest inside a bubble to keep themselves protected.

Gruzzles are able to fly and on rare occasions are slowly seen hovering at the treetops of forests. 

Gruzzles are quite docile, only attacking when offensively provoked. Gruzzles themselves are also capable of fostering a small community when they stay in an area for awhile. 

Design wise, Gruzzles have a large paw with 4 prints, one center one and 3 for each finger. Their tail is a mix of a regular tail and abdomen, which is very fluffy, and has a stinger at the end. 
Gruzzles can have different fur patterns, referred to as "Pollen patterns" and splotches of spots where honey is visible known as "Honey spots".

Questions about Gruzzles are welcome!

Maxtanuki all bosses + cutscenes (no damage)
An arrangement of 4 of my OCs and my sona, featuring An unnamed wendigo in the forest, Burzz the Gruzzle in a very compressed version of an upcoming ref, Pucky at In-n-out, and Thundaga with the dustloop page focused on Axl Guilty gear's j.H.

all bosses compilation of Maxtanuki HD for Bluesky, and Nintendo switch 4. (HD 2.3+0.1*2 extra mix) Like, comment, follow.

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Expanding on character some, for now they're named Thundaga for now and they carry to sticks they use as weapons (more to come with that if I make them a ref)

Have been wanting to adjust the Ranuki's design to be a little more stout, chubby and simple in design, but I still dont feel like what I have right now is the image I had in mind. Friends I showed it to liked it tho so thought id show it here.

Heads up for ppl whoved ordered a minecraft model from me! If your model doesn't have a bow, crossbow, or shield animation, I'm available to add those in not only for free, but with an additional animation alongside them. Just reach out to me in DMs. (Offer applies to commission and raffle models).
