Another illustration I forgot to share on here. Rope was a pain to draw, but I am intrigued by fishing orbs.

Two cats on top of glowing, glass fishing orbs in a dark void.

Painting of Ravioli in what I like to call her July Dress. It’s meant for human babies so it doesn’t fit quite right. But she feels pretty in it.

A very fluffy orange and white cat wearing a pin striped dress with stars. Her chest has a pink tint, presumably stained from the watermelon slice in front of her.

First two pages for a pixel art webcomic I’m working on. Not sure what to call it yet, but this chapter is “Special Delivery”. TW for blood & fantasy world violence.

A giant pelican flies over an island village. It is shocked as a can in its mouth begins to stab it with a knife. The pelican ejects the cat from its mouth, and she tumbles towards the village below.

The cat is falling and hits a roof with a thud. A man with a large scar on his head looks up, “huh?” There’s is a rumbling noise, and then the cat falls past his window. He exclaims, “HOLY-“

Was in the mood the make pixel art, so I made this mock battle screen. Which ended up inspiring me to make a comic.

A battle screen depicting a man and a cat facing a giant cowfish. The man bears a golden seahorse canon, and the cat wields a sand bucket on her head and two scoops. They are on a tropical island.

For new years, my husband and I continued our tradition of drawing in Magma together. He did most of the environment. I drew the cats & did the coloring.

Many cats gathered in a living room. The living room features a brick fireplace and various fishing themed decor. Cat are drinking, eating snacks, and dancing.

For Christmas I made my husband an RPGMaker game. It’s a ~10 min, visual novel-esque experience. We appear in an ethereal art museum where each piece can take us back to a moment in time. By the end, we decide to voyage out into the unknown- to create new memories.

Text box: "I get it now, each piece takes us back to a moment." A pale, blue museum with arches, heart motifs, and sculptures.

An indoor garden with running water. There is a large, magical creature in the water.

A gallery with various drawings/paintings, mostly cat related.

Text box: "What was your favorite part of the museum?" Two people and some cats sitting in a small cafe. A seal is working the counter.

This is the first RPGMaker game I’ve finished! It’s a very personal project I made for Michael for Christmas. I just remembered, I tried to make this sort of gift for him THE LAST 2 YEARS, but I never got anything close to done on time.

A drawing of cats and leaves floating around the title “Lost in the Moment”. There are some floating buildings in the distance.

This was my last project, Nora the Snow Piggy. I’m working on a set of 3. Unfortunately my sweet baby cat knocked the brown piggy off the counter and it fractured a bit, from the base up the cheek. Repaired it with some resin, but I want to further reinforce it with some epoxy just to be safe 😭

I finished my Beluga doll! I had to learn how to make a sewing pattern for this project. The Seal doll is all done too, but he needs clothes (& my husband is developing the clothes for that one). Hopefully we can get pics of the couple together, soon :)

From the 1 night June had Herbert at her apartment. She gave him a little spa treatment.

Monotone drawing of a woman sitting on a stool and holding a teacup. She is next to a clawfoot tub that contains a little creature with floppy, round ears and flippers. The scene is candle lit.
