I love it when cuties get angry

I know its offensive but it only makes you cute harder

quickie to close out the year

Its cold af out there, keep warm and stay safe as we head into the new year!

Pretend its still the 25th...

Merry Christmas Everyone! Sorry Im late but I love and appreciate you all and I hope you continue to have patience with me as I sort myself out!

How did we get here...

How did this happen...

...

Okay maybe it has something to do with being distracted while wearing platform heels...

... and your dress slingshotting off of your tail spikes after you tripped over a log

Weve all been there

2026 Calendar for Heartleaf

The fine folks of Heartleaf games gathered a bunch of artists to put together another calender and invited me to tag along! You can find the campaign here

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/heartleaf-games/beast-world-2026-pinup-calendar

I hopped on the male version this time went through the entire Vinland Saga anime as I was working on it!

There is...

Get up, Im hungry

Another quickie but its a butt so its fine

I hope

This was another trust the process sort of thing where I kept going back and forth between its fine and the proportions are hella busted

The lighting is mostly what I wanted but I had to force a few things for readibility/ times sake

Late to the party

Farm birb got all worked up for nothing

___

Thanksgiving was fine! No drama, everyone behaved, best I could have ask for! Sorry for the quickie vibes and slapdash BG, time was too short for that!

just mik

Trying to finish some art up before Thanksgiving dinner which promises to be fairly dramatic lol

Im ready to reburn bridges against anyone who tries to press me on why I havent spoken to them for 8-15 years because I will tell em

My plan is to behave, dont get me wrong, but unless some dramatic personal changes happened some people who are gonna show up just dont know how to act and Im not the same person they remember me as

With that out the way...

...here is Mik,...

Happy Halloween Y'all :D

I made it in time yay!

I did want to spend a few more hours on it but the clock ticks for thee

SO

Here is Missy doing some fatherless behavior in the middle of the street this Hallows eve~

also PSDs/ Recordings will be posted tomorrow for now Im going straight to bed lol

Furluminati: Master Viper

I know its about a week late but I did finish this on time, I just forgot to post it because emergency work got in the way lol

But yeah, I didnt honestly know what the plan is for some of these character picks. Its semi random, picks are dawn from a pool of characters we submit and voted on every 2 weeks, and I guess in my hiatus from participating she won her place in the pool and then RNG picked her.

Well... the next one is even more questionable lol. Not my taste personally but...

Early Halloween pic, enjoy!

Sidequest: can you spot the intrusive thought?

Foxmom

Foxmom Ceroba from Undertale Yellow

Havent played it, looked over some stuff to come up with the design of this drawing, and I gotta say shes really cute

I was originally gonna post it as my triumphant return to the waifu/ furry illuminati event but I was late  and decided to take my time on it instead of being just a quickie

On a totally unrelated note I now know what a dead swamp tree sounds like when it hits the side of your concrete block of an apartment lol

Is this a crossover episode?

Diane is not convinced this is going to work out

Bojack... has other concerns

_____

Fell down a youtube shorts hole and I started scrolling through art videos

Got some neat insight into inks/ sketches and the mentality of trusting the process (instead of painfully overthinking things) and what came out was a bold approach to using simpler but more thicker and confident lines for things like the face. Leaning into the natural energy of my strokes instead of focusing on ...

less aggro version

I accidently flattened the wip in a non cloud folder so I had to go back and draw the clean version over what I dubbed the 'aggressive version', ie the version with the offmodel makeup and gun. I thought about getting rid of the piercings/ ear mod too but I think that is good compromise for people who could appreciate Judy art like this but are put off by the gun and etc.

Luckily because I save redundantly I was able to salvage parts of an older wip to get some of the lineart to help wi...

Dont forget to use protection

we stay strapped~

Its a matter of perspective...

A point of view if you will...

An anal POV perhaps

Mik... anally? its a possibility!

______

Ive been having fun with the color pops

Sharper, more saturated lighting too

Theres a certain clean glassy vibe Im going for that is smooth and shiny but not overly detailed

I wanna indicate more than describe

Something squishy and warm~

Like an onion

I just wanted to draw Toriel

Halfway through the drawing I decided to go on a different direction

Then I redrew the face approximately 8 times, dropped the water layers, got frustrated, and added more time just drawing over stuff, adding details sometimes and taking away details in other times once I began to lose the plot

It was supposed to be finished on the 8th and it is now a week later

I spent an entire drawings worth of time on revisions

Ill let you guess w...

Busy month

One of the biggest aspects of the recent move of mine back to my home town has been well... reconnecting with family and friends I havent seen for a decade

Part of that included several hospital visits for several people

I wont get into details but life is happening fast

I am making progress in getting back into a more organized and productive work rhythm but the loss of art over time and subsequently supporters has been noticed

Ill recover, but mental health demands I...

Get in loser ;3

This is my AU Noelle and Suzie where Noelle is a 22 yo lifeguard and she is trying to get Suzie to come in so she can teach her how to swim

Just a bit of taunting/ teasing

Man...

I went through older doodles a week and found the basis for this pic and picked at it until I decided to speedrun this booty

Well... my first mistake is not resizing the drawing after I cropped it from the doodle page

At 3k its still high rez but lower than my normal standard of 4.5-5.2k

My second mistake happened after I finished the pic - it has an extremely similar pose to the vaporeon+buizel pic

UGH

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I like the face tho

The outfit c...

Another Vaporeon Design

I have 2 vaporeon characters swimming in my head... one admittedly less concrete than the other

I wont change the design of the vaporeon from the other wip, but this one I wanted to do something different from the original wip

One of my vaporeons has short bluegreen bob hair with the lime green accent and a bit of a stocky bodytype. Thats the design from the other wip.

As for this wip I decided to change it to another vaporeon Ive toyed with here and there - one that use...

So I kept drawing....

I think 95% of this has been completely redrawn to get to where we are

Indeed I reached a certain point in cleaning the last version that I realized it would literally take less time to reink and color again due to how use flats as stencils for my airbrush technique....

Which is ironic because I used a decidedly different technique for this version where instead of large airbrushes making a blotchy smudgy mess I used a hard paint brush this time to carve out more distinct shapes a...

Some more wips

I tried and failed to finish these 4 new pics by the 31st (these pics)

I also failed to finish the Mae and Izzy from last month

Shame!

Well... worry not, I wont wander off for the next few weeks again, I wanna finish all those pics in the next few days... but I started to see the work suffer in trying to rush things and Im here asking for grace on this monthly art drop!

I want to do pretty art

It should be cute/ hot and it should sparkle...

... I dont feel ...

unfinished potential cuties

Im still not sold on the face/ eyes on either one

Getting kind of a generic face vibes, things might and most likely will change the next time you see an update, but these are where these drawings are at currently

I would have rather these be done by now but it is what it is :D

Isabelle is mostly inked and Mae...... I decided to take in a different direction from the original sketch since I noticed I drew several thick tetonas in a row and that made me self-conscious about t...

Batmom

I like how the colors came out

Its very similar to another drawing I did with the exact same lineart a day earlier that I lost due to a bluescreen corrupting the workfile lol

That said I like this drawing... getting into thicker figures now that I have more confidence in doing so and its been fun

I like the thing shes eating conceptually even though in reality it might be terrible

Imagine watermelon ice cream scoops (with sour berry bits that look like seeds) that has ...

posting from new home :D

YO!

Been a few weeks

Have some non-sandy cheeks!

The culmination of a years worth of anxiety and stress has come to pass and while the move was a storied few weeks things are calming now that the move is done and over with

And then my computer died lol

Gonna spare you most of the details

One day suddenly Windows became utterly unusable

"Unknown Hard Error" was the only message I got but beyond that all I could do is open the task manager and...
