Pokemon. I was a child of the 90's but never had a portable console growing up, because we were poor. I liked the show and collecting TCG art, but lost interest at some point. I've since tried LeafGreen and Sun + almost beat them. I just don't care much for games that involve level grinding tho haha

I go to respond to a post by an artist. I type a response to their artwork. I stare at my response. I overthink my response. I get embarrassed and feel there's no point in me opening my damn mouth. I delete my response.

Ella is a character that doesn't show up for a while in my comic but I can't contain her. I wanted to update her design a little bit, but I'm sure it'll change again by the time I get to her in the comic. 🙃 #gummibears

Oh hey! I guess it's #portfolioday ! I'm Nova, and I just draw for fun these days. I'm extremely hyperfixated on The World of Teddy Ruxpin. I mainly do digital art, but sometimes I experiment with markers and pencils too.

FUZZY FIRE (1983)  Acrylic on watercolor board - 25" x 31" I never heard the rumors of a missing H. Beam Piper manuscript, which ended up being this story. I was doing all sorts of covers for DAW as well. 1/6 #art #booksky 🪐📚

Driven to the edge of a cliff by a raging forest fire, a furry alien with brilliant green eyes props up an exhausted companion. It stares off panel right, but at what? Some hope of escape? Below is a hint of ocean. Behind is a growing blaze from which other Fuzzies are fleeing. A bandage wraps the leg of his clearly injured companion. Options seem limited but our Fuzzy hero stands resolute gripping a spear in hand.

Pass it along - please let us see your pfp in its full sized glory! Just one of my experiments with traditional media. My silly little girl, Ilaine Bixby.

I slept on Ms. Clover's design and decided to go for a second attempt. She needs to be older, wiser, and I'd like her to be wider. The pic I made before she looks like she's probably 20 years younger than intended. Still a work in progress, but I feel like I'm getting closer to her.

Two black and white sketches of a female bear-person (or Illiop).

Nova Visitor @novavisitor.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Concept art for a new character for a story I want to write. Her name is currently Miss Clover. She's a seamstress, if that wasn't obvious. A younger version of Ilaine is training under her. I need to draw her a bit more to get a better feel for her design.

A bear-like person (or Illiop) standing on a white background, facing left. Her hair is pulled back in a braid, she has green eyes, little glasses, and a green dress with a white apron with pockets. The dress also has little pink flowers all over it. Around her shoulders is a yellow measuring tape.

Young Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby. Experimenting again with Grubby's design, this time giving him clothes and orange fingers.

On the left is a brown anthropomorphic bear, wearing a yellow short-sleeved jumpsuit with a green vest over the top. On the right is a yellow anthropomorphic... centipede? Octopede. He's kinda centuar shaped, with six feet (hands) on the ground. He's wearing a sleeveless light blue top that drapes over his back segments, and dark blue shorts with a matching belt.

@heroforgeminis.bsky.social I got a mini printed of my illiop OC, Ilaine Bixby. There's some brown on her skirt I don't know where it's supposed to come from besides a possible printing error, but other than that she's perfect.

I saw @michaelwhelan.bsky.social Michael Whelan is on bsky and now I have to make this post. I recently bought and framed a print of one of my favorite old sci-fi book covers by him! Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey. I love the Little Fuzzy series by H. Beam Piper and Whelan's take on the Fuzzies.

Nova Visitor @novavisitor.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

some friends said that it'd make a cool shirt design... so i redid the linework but BIGGER so that i can put it on a shirt. lmao. we'll see if i get a top made or not. summer is coming and i could always use more tank tops

Linework of Grubby the Octopede and Teddy Ruxpin walking together, fully white but surrounded by scribbly rainbow colors on a black background.

The original screenshot's compression makes it hard to look at, so I had to clean it up.

Grubby and Teddy walking together. The linework and colors are clean.

My first tablet was ALSO a Wacom Graphire 2! An orange one, and later, a blue one. I didn't replace them until like 2016ish when my friends at the time bought me a Wacom Intuos Pro, which I'm still using now.

A group image of (left to right:) Grubby the Octopede, Prince Arin the Illiper, Newton Gimmick the Perloon, and Teddy Ruxpin the Illiop who is holding a bucket, standing next to a river, looking at The Wooly What's-It on the right, who is sitting under a waterfall. Wooly looks annoyed at them.

My part of an art trade for PrinceArinFan84!

A full-body sketch of Prince Arin from The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin. He is holding his hat to his chest with one hand and is holding a small bouquet of simple daisy-like flowers with the other hand.

A work in progress image of the Prince Arin full body line work. The sketch is barely visible underneath and the flowers have not been inked. I was not happy with how my flowers were turning out, so I was gonna redraw them.

The inks of the same image, with a sketch of a different bouquet of various flowers. It's basically the bouquet from the Love Songs book cover, but flipped. I'm sorry for cheating. (Sob emoji.)

The same, completed, full-body drawing of Prince Arin, fully inked with flat colors on a white background.

I got one of these in the recent drop, didn't think she'd bring the crystal cluster design back! I love Maya's skirts so much, I had to grab it. The skirts are stretchy and comfy and cute and twirly and they have REALLY BIG POCKETS! Also they're ethically made, which is pretty cool too.

A couple of Pascal doodles for @thegummiway.bsky.social ! Because I got his collar wrong before and it was bugging me, I needed to draw him again.

i asked for a teddy related doodle request and a friend suggested garfield and teddy.

Two sketches of Garfield's head. The top sketch is in the original art style. The bottom sketch was an experiment with his head shape to try to make him look a little more like a real cat.

Teddy Ruxpin sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, with Garfield curled up on his lap with his eyes closed. Teddy is petting Garfield's back with one hand.

I hung out with @thegummiway.bsky.social today! Had a great time. He brought his screen tablet and let me try drawing on it. So here's an obligatory Teddy face, and also Pascal. I never use screen tablets specially for drawing, so it was an interesting experience.

Doodles. Teddy's open-mouthed smiling face on the left, and Pascal's head and shoulders on the right.

Colored the last pic on this sheet :3

A clipboard holding a large piece of paper. On the paper are colored drawings of Burl and Ilana Ruxpin, one with Ilana running to Burl and another where she is jumping into his arms. Also on the paper is a drawing of Grubby the Octopede.

A close-up of the drawing of Burl and Ilana Ruxpin with Ilana jumping into Burl's arms. The drawing has been shaded with a pale purple marker but is otherwise uncolored.

40 years ago today, the first episode of 'Adventures of the Gummi Bears' aired. Even at 7, I knew it was special. The magic, adventure, and heart lit my imagination. Decades later, those bouncing bears still my inspire stories, art, and creativity. Thanks to all who made it a reality. #gummibears

This is the closest thing to scenery I've tried so far. I really have nooo idea what I'm doing. Wish me luck as I try to colorize my entire comic project this way 😵‍💫 i forgot and didn't have room to mention that i'm also using a white POSCA paint pen

I've been practicing with traditional medias! I have no idea what I'm doingggg. I want to be able to do scenery and stuff too, and actually sketch on paper again, but honestly I'm not sure how or where to begin anymore. microns, Blick studio markers, and Prismacolor pencils, mostly on card stock.

Took a break from comic work today.

A colored digital illustration of Burl Ruxpin, Teddy Ruxpin's father. He is a bear-like person, or "illiop". He is wearing robes and a satchel, and he is carrying a pack on his back full of plants of some kind. He is turned to the left but is waving and smiling towards us.

We never see who Quellor is under the mask, but I have a head-cannon theory that he's an illiop (the same race as Teddy Ruxpin) who was disfigured by the ancient crystals trying to gain power. Change my mind! 😁 #teddyruxpin
