I saw some triangle shaped headphones, and thought, what if animal characters had headphones that matched their ears? LIke their ear shapes. Tried to draw some on a dog.

In @scruffydraws.bsky.social "The Lost and The Wanderer" I liked the reoccurring action of Kreg holding Rusty's finger. It was a sweet bonding moment that even helped later on in the story. I thought I'd try drawing a close up of it, just for fun.

Been watching #Bravestarr again. Did I post this one here? 30/30 pretty cool. Have him again.

I liked the sketch so much that I rendered it a bit more. A cute little drawing. #tiger #cat #sketch

So I don't have an art fight account; but I am willing to do art trades this month. Just "art fight" without it being art fight. Here are some OCs.

"Bright Eyes... Burning like Fire..." Watership Down is one of my fav books and I wanted to have some merch of it. However, I decided to make my own after searching what was out there. This one's more symbolic and a "deep cut". I also included an alt. version. www.teepublic.com/user/randomkooldude

For 5th anniversary of #kidlitpostcard day, the theme is "You - as a kid." I wanted to get personal with this one. When I read as a kid, I was so focused on the story that my Mom said It was like I were ten feet underwater. I wanted my #illustration to reflect that single concentration.

June is my birthday month so I'm offering a deal! 25% off any commission placed this month! Even a little sketch will be discounted. Thanks for looking! #art #digital

I did this for National Alligator Day! Featuring Brok from @cowcatgames.com ! A fun drawing. I think he would like a toy gator.

It's in Print! My story is now in a Zine! I had the idea for a while, then I finally wrote it down, finally set it in, and now it's finally here! I hope all enjoy a noir like weasel detective. I would value comments and feedback on it too.

My attempt at Fenwell Fox, a goodhearted but downtrodden tramp who can't get a break. He was in a few kid's comics around the 50s and he caught my eye. Cartooning isn't exactly my strength.

I watched Buddy Thunderstruck recently and decided to do a few doodles of Darnell. Unfortunately, a glitch happened and I lost my work. This headshot had to be done from scratch. And I added some value to it since it solo without the other doodles. Oh well :/.

Artists! Show what built your style! The funny thing is, this stumped me. I drew and traced as a child, but it never was "my style." I copied. Even with fanart, I can copy the established style of the source. For my own art, I wanted to understand, the skill of it, the practice of it.

Hi #portfolioday ! I'm Diego and I'm gonna be real with ya, I like drawing fan art. Yeah, check out my site www.artbyDiego.net but lemme just give you some fanart. Available for commissions and projects!

Little drawing requested from a server. Ott in the outfit Eddie from Dog City wore that one time. I had fun doing this, and it was nice to do art that was actually fun! And easier than usual.

Hello #kidlitartpostcard day! I finally drew an idea I had for a while (clown badger :D). I also tried it in a different style than I usually do. I like drawing animals, fun characters, and charming situations. Seeking an agent and representation. Open for work! Porfolio: www.artbyDiego.net

I was able to do a commission for @ramonwilhelm.bsky.social ! He wanted this painting and provided me with wonderful photos of the chickens and yard. I'm glad he liked it! It was an ambitious piece that I think I accomplished. #digitalpainting #noai #tiger #chicken

Looking over this year, I felt like I didn't do much art. But the ones I did were pretty good. And I'm glad for my patreon support for the sketches. I hope to do more commissions too. #artvsartist2025 #art
