Reading about him more, he does fall under the trope of "gender change as survival necessity, not as choice" that somewhat bothers me. But also, he is a dog. I can't be upset with that.
Image of Kurt, the protagonist of Fire Emblem Shadows. He is a transmasc prince wearing royal attire, holding a sword. He also has dog ears and a tail.

More #Hurtland progress. I laid out these sunset colors on this scene, but I actually think I want to go for a darker dusk palette instead. It's a good thing I didn't commit too hard on this piece yet.
A work in progress concept painting of a barren desert landscape at sunset. The scene is painted in vibrant oranges and dark reds. The silhouettes of three canines preside in the foreground, looking at a loosely-defined larger creature on the horizon.

About Me: Video Games! I made an old version of this template years ago, but I couldn't find it. This one feels a bit more accurate to my current self anyway. Also, "favorite game" is so fucking hard.

Alright here you go. I hope you like muscular dudes! This was a study on drawing what I see, trying to stay as close to realism as possible. Original reference photo comes from MuscleFetishGuy.

Made this for #makeaterriblecomicday2026 Pee butt is an apt name for it, ngl
Single page comics of two OCs. One is a human, and he lifts a cloche off a jar of unappetizing-looking mushy peas. He says, "You've heard of peanut butter... Now, get ready for... Pea butter!" His furry boyfriend exclaims "Pee butt!"

They say that sucking at something is the first step to being good at something
Two panel comic. The top panel is a man on stage standing in front of a screen that says "Have the COURAGE to SUCK in PUBLIC." The bottom panel is the same man on the ground behind a tree and some bushes with another man, while a police officer looks over them with his arms crossed and his foot tapping impatiently.

#indieanimationday is a thing? Hello! I'm making an independent short film about two creatures in the desert and the tragedy of their survival. It's called Hurtland! You can find semi-regular updates on the project on my Kofi: ko-fi.com/album/Hurtla...

#Hurtland progress update: I'm working on storyboard revisions, and I made these two sketches that I'm really tempted to color in and fully render right now. But I still have other scenes I need to revise first!

I had to remind myself that art is fun, so I drew OCs! I included short bios for each of them to give you an idea who they are. None of them belong to the same universe, so it was a challenge putting them all together.
A lineup of OCs doing the High School Musical movie poster pose together. Each OC has their name on top, and a short bio of their pronouns, species, and gender/sexual identifiers on the bottom.

How Is the Queen? More Hurtland concept art. Early on in the project, I had the thought to make it pixel ditherpunk. But I recently figured out index tones in Krita, and I think this is easier.

Shy This is the first time I've depicted Lou in any color. He deserved it for Pride Month!
Lou, a trans man with long dirty blonde hair and whiskers of facial hair, poses in a modestly seductive way while looking towards the camera. He is nude, and the light falls in stark shadows across his skin. White text displays on the wall behind him and on his body. It reads, "Are you shy? Or have you never had a truly and mutually beneficial relationship with anyone else before, which makes relationships feel like a burden, and your reluctance to interact with others is often misread as shyness all because of your perceived femininity?"

The point of art is not beauty. The point of art is expression. Art is highlighting an idea and going, "Look at this! Listen to this!" But the viewer must understand why. If the purpose of your art is just beauty, then don't waste my time. Show me an emotion. Make me feel something. Give me a thought to ponder. A puzzle to solve.

Unused drawings from the TOKOPHOBIA postmortem. The first one was turned into the finale and zhuzhed up, the second one didn't fit in pacing-wise, and I deemed it unnecessary.

One last piece of art to end the year with. I made this a long while ago while stressing out about health and car insurance. Fitting considering the news.

If you love adult animation, and you haven't checked out Carol & the End of the World on Netflix, I wholly recommend it! When it came out I gave it a pass because I didn't like the art style, but I was so wrong. This show captures that feeling of being the only person not having fun at the party.

A figure in blacklight where just his head and hands are visible. They are dripping in neon fluorescent goo laced with black beads as if they are viscera. The figure stares at the viewer with a single pink eye, an uncanny smile on his face. A crescent moon lingers in the background.

This was my grad cap when I finished SCAD. I want to carry this kind of energy forward into my art from now on. I'm so tired of perfectionism holding me back.

Happy Holidays from Yulion Wintersborough! I know it's a little late, but I wanted to make sure I took time with this piece and had fun with it. The character is a reimagining of my FFXIV character. I'm still futzing with the design. This one was quite improvised.
