Barely finished this in time for Smaugust, but I'm definitely wanting to do more with this design sometime later

And man, the right arm was super painful. At that angle it's basically nonexistent xD

(ignore how messy my living room is I swear I'm cleaning it soon) Was trying to figure out the pose and idea first but realized it was a little too complex to get down the way I hoped, the model definitely helped with some details.
Stickybones poseable doll for reference

Needing to balance values a little better for clarity, doing another later because this process is fun as hell. Putting a little more effort into planning at the start, and just excited to see where this eventually goes.

Process video for anyone interested. Didn't really have any major plans going into this one. I just wanted an excuse to draw Weregarurumon, and also wanted to try a cell shading approach for an illustration.

Wanted to test out a slightly new process after artfight. I definitely think there's some potential, going to tweak a few things but trying this a bit more again

Tbh I feel this design has a lot of flaws where I may revisit them someday, but still it was a lot of fun xD
Flats version for ease of viewing. 
I wouldn't want to unleash this upon anyone though >__>

Aaaand the final few attacks I was able to get in before artfight ended! Really had a lot of fun with it this year. Not sure if I'll be able to do as much next year, but had a lot of fun drawing everyone!

Final animation for now, but I have two more in progress that I'm hoping I can complete before artfight is done. It's the first time I've really delved into this process and man, it's addicting.

But in good news, after waiting since August we finally were able to adopt a new kitten! Loki has been needing a companion, and we haven't introduced them just yet. But Willow is probably the most adorable and social kitten I've met. Excited to see how they get along.

Hoping to do some more art again the next few days but the past few months have been very tiring. If nothing else, we finally were able to replace our old couch and some things are improving.

On top of that, I still don't have most of my taste back after the tonsillectomy where red meat tastes like nothing, and surgery on my left hand went well but I won't have a full range of motion for awhile.

Finally had a PT meeting yesterday and confirmed I'm dealing with nerve bruising/pain that was probably caused from a bone marrow biopsy (results were good, showed negative).

Rat blanket was from RattyCreations, still one of my favorite blankets to use. Had to sneak my two rats (Shadow and Moon) from a few years back on it though

She will get attention at any cost, and it's hard drawing with a cat shaped void in front of my screen sometimes Loki being an utterly adorable gremlin

... But if I shared more wip's or quick explorations on ideas vs more time on a single piece I'd be spamming things out way too much, too >_>

Zephra @zephra.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
It's interesting seeing some of the conversation online about finished pieces vs wip, too. Someone theorized that seeing the wip gives the viewer a say in the final image where their imagination adds to it so they get to add to it in their own way.

Zephra @zephra.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Yeahhh... Though I do at least understand how some art may have more relatability even if it isn't nearly as much a time commitment.

Zephra @zephra.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
But also I'm talking in circles with that. If nothing else, the last year or so of art has been some of the most fun I've had, and going to try to keep being active online where I can.

Zephra @zephra.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
That's kind of how the past few years of convention sales have gone where I've pushed for it (since it allowed me to travel still), but it compounds with not growing any presence where I always just wonder if my art is headed in the wrong direction.
110
Zephra @zephra.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
For context, MFF 2024 I got into the DD - cost me around $2.2k to go to the convention (couldn't find someone to split the room with) and I ended up making around $2.5k for the entire weekend ($1.5k in merch sales I believe).

Zephra @zephra.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
It isn't a guarantee, but it does make things easier for travel if I could support it, so that limits a lot of things. I really want to try and go to more cons again soon starting with TFF again next year but I'll have to see how it goes
