Attempt two of the tutorial, and a bonus mini one in blue with custom felt frame. I really like that watercolor has nearly no set-up. You just grab a cup of water and go. Cleanup is just a bit of rinsing, maybe letting things dry.

I made a model based on @\amberlea-draws mini-cheeb of Kinu, and then recreated the "No one's around to help" meme by JerryTerry on YT.

Little guy'd them.
A sunset over the ocean is shown in the background. The foreground is a rolling grass hill set some distance from the ocean. In the bottom-right is a grey and small purple vulpix.

I don't know who does the Steam sale doodles, but they do a good job. Many of them I wish were a little bigger so I could steal them for desktop wallpapers.
Screenshot of the 2026 Steam Spring Sale animated webpage banner featuring a chicken pulling on a dragons tale. It's done in soft colors.

Playing around with blender and made a grungy almost liminal scene. I like those images people do with putting a little guy somewhere, so I did the same with the blender render and put a fox-jester OC in it. Fox og design @/tidalcraftfox.bsky.social
A dim and grungy interior is lit with a couple panel lights. In the center of the image is a blue and red jester-like fox character. Small in the hallway.

Latest practice doodle of me trying to improve head proportions and lineart through drawing and youtube tutorials. Kinda liking Hive's tutorials.
An anthropomorphic wolf head is done in basic lineart. It is colored a light brown messily in a vaguely watercolor style.

More physical art medium practice. This time of an adopt from @\kryotea.bsky.social done in marker. Turned out better than the crayons.
A light and dark brown colored dog is shown at a side angle. They have 2 stripes on their back and a short puffy tail.

I adopted this fox from @\justadog.me and used it as an excuse to try and draw physical media. Specifically crayons this time. I've not used crayons in forever. I may have a major skill issue with them. I don't know why there are so many chunky globs. Ignoring that, my perspective needs work.
A lavender/purple fox head is drawn in crayons. The eyes are large and orange. It has two little teeth at the end of it's muzzle. The crayon has several globs of wax all over. The  entire image is a bit grungy and lopsided.

My sibling, who may be going by NB they/them terms now on, wanted me to post the OG file they made. In part, because it's kinda wild. They made the image in modern MS Paint, but the text was typed into MS Word, screenshotted, then pasted into paint. One screenshot for the font border, one for color.
On a teabag background, there is a braixen in brown and cream colors holding a green cup and green teapot. The cup is held out toward the viewer as in offering. She is located above the word ZinZiv in bold font. The teabag has a piece of paper on string attached, and in smaller bold font, the braixen's name is printer, "Cinna"

I wish there was a federated shop system. Some way of subscribing to online shops, and being able to search products from all subscribed shops. Something that lets small businesses/artists run their own stores, but also allows customers convenient browsing across favorite stores in one view.

It was hard keeping a straight face trying to paint this model at this angle. Have another goofy screenshot, and a render of the glaive itself. Inspiration of Monster Hunter glaives, Shiisa dogs, and the spider lotus flower. When I finally draw myself a fursona, I will have them posing with it.
Similar to quoted post, this Shiisa dog face is uncomfortable close to the camera, and goofy. Unpainted, it looks like it is made out of shiny black rubber or plastic.A 3d model of a glaive. It is has a dark red staff, with a terracotta shisa head biting the base of the blade. The blade is metalic and just from the shiisa's mouth as if a tounge. The blade as fire impressions. At the bottom of the glaive is a terracotta ball, bound to the staff with red rope. From the ropp are red tassles tipped with yellow balls in the style of a spider lilly.

Making a 3D model of a Glaive, in the style of a Monster Hunter weapon. I want to make a fursona, and I have ideas, but kind of intimidated to even really start.... so I started with an accessory instead.... Look at this goofy ahh
A 3D model of a Shiisa dog stares at the camera. It looks goofy. It appears as if made of terracotta, with yellow and black eyes, and white teeth.

This is actually what I did for Kinu on the gate. I created a terrible model, and placed it in front of the background image to try and get the pose/angle/scale right. Then used that as a reference.
A torii gate in a yellow field of short wheat is shown as a 2d plane in Blender. The Torii gate is red, and has a night sky within the frame, but a warm tinted daytime outside of it. Ontop and in front of the Torii visually, is a polygonal fox posed as if sitting within the image.

Back home from #ANE. My sister (with her Rooibos OC) and I gave out free cinnamon tea at the con for fun. The idea started thanks to Cinna, my cinnamon/tea braixen adopt. My sister made a custom felt badge for me shaped as a tea bag for the con. Hope everyone that got tea enjoyed it!
A felt con badge is shaped like a flat rectangular tea bad. At the top, a green label says Cinna. At the bottom of the bag is a brown colored Braixen holding a green cup held in offering and a teapot in the other hand. The Braixen is posed behind and slightly overlapping the badge name of ZinZiv written in bold font.

I've not drawn chibi before, so decided to try and chibi-fy Kinu. This is the result. Not perfect, but it turned out cute. I learned there is a fine-line between chibi and baby. For this, that line was too much forehead in my first attempt drawing this. OG design by @\keldel.bsky.social.
Kinu, an anthropomorphic cream-colored fox is presented twice. The original design in the upper left corner is about 7 hears tall. In the bottom right corner it is redrawn about 3 heads tall in a chibi style. She is in dark robes, with a multi-rope orange sash that has tassels hanging off. She has red eyes, long ears, and wispy hair.

Happy New Years! This took forever and I'm still not super happy with how it turned out. It's not as cute as the ref. OG design/adopt from @\sylfeanne.bsky.social (I'm not sure the etiquette on this. Is it preferred to break the @ link to prevent spam notifications or not? I see both going on...)
Vulpix, a six-tailed fox pokemon is mid leap. The tails are lavender colored, with forlegs, paws, and hair purple, with grey body fur. The eyes and inner ears are teal. They are adorned with some gold jewelry. They are in front of a sunset, ocean, and a small portion of grassland.

I think I finally got the base to a point I kinda like. I forgot to color the ears earlier x.x. Now onto expressions! I've not done a ton of expressions before, so good practice. It's working out well but my first attempt at a sad expression came out angry... Looks good so I kept it anyway lol
Cinna brown braixen is presented in headshot form. Multiple headshots are in a row, with each iteration expressing a different emotion. Neutral, happy, really happy, angry and sad.

I've been struggling last few days to get this headshot right. Why does art have to be so hard.... at least I think I have it about right now. Character is Cinna, an adopt designed by @giyuyuchan.bsky.social My plan is to add Cinna to my site and have her talk about tea in a PMD-style dialog.
A brown braixen with red bandana is presented in a neck-up headshot view. The headshot is repeated horizontally, with each iteration getting better. (Hopefully)

I was advised IRL that they did not contrast well with the sky. Added little highlights and clouds to provide better contrast. Then tried adding shadows since... clouds... I think it was good advice.
A torii gate stands in a sunny desaturated field of short straw-like plants. The gate has mist flowing out and through the gate is another world bathed in moonlight. Atop the gate sits a fox humanoid wearing dark robes and an orange belt. The robes have dark cloud-like design along the bottom hem, and stylized trees on the sleeves. They're head is pointing to the cloud-filled sky, however their eye is turned toward the viewer.

Some art I made of an adopt I got from @keldel.bsky.social. Pretty proud of it! I can't decide if I should name them Ziv and use them as an avatar or if I should go third-person and name them Kinu... Either way, I plan to use this as an entry image for a geo/neocities style webpage in the future.

Sun DCA from FNAF made as a present for a friend. Inspired by alnica.bsky.social 's felt dogs.
Sun, the day care animatronic from five nights at freddy's. A cartoon yellow sun face with white eyes and teeth. The rays face and features are made out of differ layers of felt stacked on each other. Underneath the face is a red ribbon bow and 2 golden bells. The background is a single light blue sheet of felt.

Gift art for Tehaxis on FA of his werewolf OC Mora. I tried to put her into that Sidon pose from Zelda BOTW. This is by far the hardest art I've tried anatomically. It's not quite right but it feels like I rolled a critical success and made something arguably outside my skill level.
A muscular werewolf holds left her arm out fist raised to the side crossing her chest. Mouth open and grinning. She has light brown tips to here fur and blue eyes. Down her chest is a glowing blue gemstone. She is in front of a snowy background with abstract teal buildings to her sides and pine trees behind.

I decided to draw Laguna from #MoonlightPulse. I played it first on the train ride to AC. It's a good game!
A blue fox, Laguna, is shown mid-jump with water streams swirling around their body. The background is an out-of-focus mountain. The whole image is cool-colored.
