I got the cutest little mini figure from @smallbizcat.bsky.social at Polaris and just finished painting it! These blindboxes are such nice quality, I love the weight the figure has to it!! The base is still bare because I have...plans..

Photo of a figurine of Freddy, an anthropomorphic frog and mascot of the artist Smallbiz Cat. He is wearing brown corduroy pants, a purple sweater and a yellow scarf. He is carrying a big toadstool mushroom.

Another 3/4 view, in the other direction this time, of the same figure.

I'm super excited to finally have @gomalemo.bsky.social 's stunning book in my hands 🥹 Can't wait to properly go through it and try to figure out some Kanji because right now I only know like..five 🧍(this is actually exciting to me) But also LOOK AT THE AMAZING ART & DESIGNS!!

Picture of a book that features illustrated fictional beasts and Japanese Text on the cover. There is also English text reading "Field guide - Lē Yamamura - Book of paintings".
On top of the book lies a postcard sized print of the cover.

Incredibly vague question for people who do #SciArt of animals specifically, like for encyclopedias and such: What's the process like? Sincerely, someone who can only imagine achieving these levels of detail/accuracy when replicating a single picture. [Image for reach]

May I offer you some T4T Pikachus this pride month? I'm planning on making these cuties into stickers :D #art #illustration #pokemon

Two Pikachus hugging. The left one's tail ends in the straight edge, typical for a male Pikachu. The right one's ends in a heart shape, typical of a female Pikachu.
Both of their tails have cartoony, stitched scars near the end, indicating that they're trans.

I'm mildly obsessed with those cheap ballpoint pens from BIC (this is not an ad) I love using them for studies 🥺 #art #SciArt 🐡

Four blue ballpoint pen drawings: a cockatoo, a harpy eagle, a snowy owl and an american kestrel.
All of them are depicted as portraits, except for the owl, which is depicted with it's whole body.

CW: This is a drawing of a big animal-like beast with a lot of blood on it, and the ribcage of it's prey off to the side (not super realistic, but detailed enough to probably warrant warning) My iPad tracked a total of 8h 45m for this and it's finally done! :") #art #illustration

A digital illustration.
A large, fictional creature with big horns, tusks, grey fur and bright yellow eyes is walking to the right, it's head turned to the viewer.
It's large front paws, chest and mouth are covered in blood, which is also trailing behind it. Next to it's hind leg there's the rib cage of the animal that fell prey to it.
The background is a snowy landscape with pine trees and mountains.
Fog is covering most of image.

The same illustration but without the fog-layer. The blood is now more clearly visible.

Recently finished this critter for a trade with someone! This rendering style takes a while (both pieces I've made in it have tracked 5 hours) but I enjoy it nonetheless :) (Also yes I'm very much open to art trade offers! Trading/bartering is amazing imo :^) ) #art #digitalart #illustration

A monkey-like creature on all fours, facing the right and having their right front-paw lifted.

The face sort of resembles a Japanese macaque, or just a monkey in general. The snarling muzzle is red and the skin blends to a lilac toward the forehead.
The eyes are entirely white, as well as the longer fur around the face which also continues down the back like a mane.
The front hands resemble tiger-paws but are green in color instead of orange and blend into short, black fur at the elbows. The rest of the torso is black.
The backlegs are colored like the front paws, the right foot is a paw and the left is a monkey-foot.
The character is wearing black shorts that are ripped at the bottom.
Their tail is an ochre-colored snake with dark patterns, purple & white splotches and a purple head. It's mouth is open, revealing fangs and a red tongue.

(Best viewed with your display on at least 50% brightness lol) Did a little experimental piece for an art exchange event and am kinda really proud of it! #art #illustration #digitalart

A digital drawing of a dragon, depicted as a bust with no visible arms.
The dragon is facing right, has mostly dark brown fur and a lighter beige underside. It is smirking and it's narrow eye as well as windows along it's neck are glowing in warm orange light.
There is also an intricate marking on it's chest glowing with the same color.
The background is entirely dark and the dragon almost blends in if it weren't for the orange glow and the grey smoke that is coming out of it's nostrils and surrounding it.
This character belongs to "EXECUTIONSTYLE" on Toyhou.se

First real attempt at linocut/-print and I'd say it's a success! The letters were added w some stamps I found in the basement lmao

Two prints. Both depict a standing pigeon facing the left. The print on the bottom features text on the right next to the pigeon that reads "I poop on Nazis". Each word is in it's own row and the letters aren't uniform, due to them having been stamped on individually.
