Visual-Dev Dump: Judy's Home at Quokka Heights

Ya squirrel's been busy. No wonder movies have so many people on them.

Just figuring out the home in its entirety - how it fits into a story - has been a struggle. But it's been a fun struggle. I don't do visual development for environments often so I'm in new territory. Feel free to read through my ideas!

February Arts + Update

I'll be very surprised if any of you know who the above character is!

It's February and at the moment I'm trying to spend time learning how to draw again. I want to improve drastically in many areas, so right now I'm in my messy artist phase where I throw random things at the canvas and study programs I've always wanted to learn but had no time for. I'm hoping to share, but full disclosure because I'm spending MUCH-needed time learning the arts might be a littl...

Uncle Nick - Cotton's Questions + Judy's Siblings

3AM Trivia

A continuation of the tired Nick doodle from earlier XD Cotton likes to stick by Judy's side most of the time, but tonight she seems to have plucked up enough courage to ask her co-babysitter to play 20 Questions with her. This sequence has been living rent-free in my head for a few weeks.

Hopps N' Wilde - the Final Outcome

The ZPD's Smallest Duo

Took a while to finish this one, but it's finally done - thank you so much for your patience, KaijuKing!

I worked really hard on this one and though it took a little long I'm really happy with how they came out! Kaiju and I were on the same page and aimed to showcase their friendship dynamic, something I really wanted to pivot towards this year.

Carolling Bunnies (Complete), UN Sketch and Last Commission

Showing more art to the donation tier for this post!

Sketch requesst by Patron Gerry featuring some of the Hopps lassies - Judy, Cotton and Bonnie - in Victorian era caroling dresses. A bit of culture I got to learn and study and had a good time drawing overall - it's amazing what a few weeks of no drawing can do to your art. Big thanks to everyone who came out during the streams!

Alba | Zootopia the Series

[Zootopia the Series is a running name for a series and storyline I've been creating as an expansion to the movie. When I write, I do so thinking of it as something to be watched, not read. So pitch bibles, loglines...I'm essentially writing for tv, and all the art kind of reflects that.]

CNMC Has Arrived!

They're heeeeeere! Ah, I can't believe we finally made it to the finish line!

This standard manga-sized comic was printed on 80 lb satin text paper and features a 110 lb cover with Soft Touch lamination for an extra shmexy feel. Seeing something I made like this makes me extremely happy despite the time it took and only makes me want to continue making more stories! Thank you so so much to those who stuck by this little story to the end and I do hope you enjoy your copy!

2021 Print Flash Sale

Hi guys and Happy Almost Hump Day! 

I have 5 leftover prints that I need to rehome so I wanted to make sure all Patrons who were interested in prints already got them before I make this public. Due to shipping prices unfortunately I can only ship within the United States (unless you want to pay high shipping costs). Will ship this week before Friday if payment is received before then. DM me on Patreon or Discord if interested.
