Hey ya'll!! If you follow my social media (mainly Instagram and Twitter) you will know I recently quit my part-time job as a Sales Associate at an art store. Unfortunately, the work environment there was just getting too toxic and unsafe for me to be in so I took the step towards removing myself from there.
So NOW I will be working on doing my art as a job instead! I'm very very excited for this transition because I've always wanted to do my art as a job (but I never had the time cause ...

Finally got the first look at the enamel pin I'm making for nayspinclub on Instagram (a custom pin trade)!! There's only two edits I believe I need to make :3 This being the first sample, it does NOT have the screen printing parts (where the hair is and on the pawpads/tongue) but the final sample and other pins (50) WILL have it of course!! <3 Enjoy!

Here's the lines colored in with the character design!! I quite like it!! <3 I gave em two different hair options cause I liked them both equally!! Do ya like them?
I'm still trying to think of how to make the half of the body interesting BUT original!! I don't want this to end up like waterdogs, constellions, fountain tigers, etc. ;; So if ya'll have any ideas, feel free to tell me in the comments below!!

I've been pondering on making a new Closed Species!! I remember when I used to be into the whole species scene and I really miss it tbh!! ;; <3 Here's some ideas for my new species I'm hoping to make!!
1st image is the lines for my concept...though it's probably subject to change sometime!! ^^' 2nd and 3rd images are the Notes I took on my phone for my general ideas on the species and how it'll work!! Of course, it needs a LOT more brainstorming before the species is finalized...!!

I had time before work started today so I went ahead and continued my work on this Outfit Chart for my boyo Benji! <3 Got the clothes lined!!
The 2nd outfit drawn (top row) is designed by my friend offbrandsalt21 on Instagram and the 3rd outfit (tow row) is designed by the lovely keinineart on Instagram!! I loved the outfits so so much, I just HAD to include em in this Chart!! :3
Hoping to finish this sometime soon in my free time!!

Got the new beanie sample for the yellow beanie!! The issue with the original was that the outline for the bubble tea cup was magenta when it was supposed to be this orange color! <3 But they whipped up the new sample really fast so I'll be getting them in the mail soon!! ^^ Very excited!!
The embroidery looks a tad bit dark here but I think it's just the lighting/shadows of this manufacturer photo! I'll take better photos once I receive them in the mail :3

SO the original beanie manufacturer's communication got worse and worse as time progressed so unfortunately, I will not be working with them ;; I also went to a 2nd manufacturer but their quality of the samples I received did not live up to my expectations!! This is a 3rd manufacturer!!
Fortunately, the quality looks REALLY nice!! Sadly, they got the outline embroidery thread color wrong for the yellow beanie hat ;; It was supposed to be orange (I think this is funny n' ironic cause wit...

Worked today on sketching out the Stickers for June n' July since I posted my To Do list for my Patrons earlier today <3 The sketches turned out so good, I figured I could use em for the lines (I cleaned them up a bit too)!
For June's Sticker (1st image) it was originally a snarling dog but I soon found out I can't seem to get the snarling, angry look well with my art style ;; But I personally think this new sketch/WIP is wayyyy better than the original!! I hope ya'll like i...
