STARTAIL: Playtest Characters!

From left to right:

Sammy Jukes, an overworked secretary of corporate space who was practically forced by her family to attend the vacation and take a break from work. Energetic, excitable, and just a tad naive.

Amelia Lancaster, an intergalactic treasure hunter who's usually up for just about any job, no matter how dangerous. However, the longer she's here at this resort, the less it seems about danger, and the more she worries for the sake of her waistline. Cocky, sly, and more...

Covid and Power Outages

Hey y'all! I'm gonna keep this brief since staring at screens kinda fries my eyes right now.

So, I've got Covid. My mom brought it home with her and now my whole family has it. I think I've finally got past the peak worst of it, so I should hopefully slowly get better from here (fingers crossed).

I haven't been able to make an announcement for a while because I've been in bed rotting and we've had our power going out over and over due to the high winds and the wildfires nearby. ...

Knot a Problem

You know, there was a whole list of side-effects on that bottle that was probably worth reading. Or... you know, just don't take the WHOLE bottle.

Starting the new year off with something SPICY!

A gift for a friend, who wanted nothing more than to bully the poor dog. 😔

Apologies for the low output!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to everyone for how little new art and stuff there's been recently!

Between the chaos of the holidays, various real life stuff, practicing art to keep from getting rusty after focusing on Gorge Valley for so long, and now working on my new TTRPG, Startail (news on that coming soon, by the way!) things have been very slow on the output side of things.

But rest assured, I've got plenty on the way soon. Art and Startail content wil...

Startail Cover Art!

Holy MOLY this one took a while. But I really like how it came out.

The cover art for Startail is officially finished!!

Thank you again to everyone who made characters for it, whether or not you got selected for the piece! ❤️

For anyone who doesn't know:

Startail is a TTRPG that I'm currently working on set in a sci-fi setting of anthropomorphic animal species centered around elements of weight gain, inflation, expansion, ...

Happy Thanksgiving you guys!

I know not all of you celebrate, but in this quiet point between posts, I just wanted to take a second to thank you guys for supporting my work. Life has been a bit hectic lately, but the support you guys give is genuinely staggering.

Without y'all, I wouldn't be able to make Gorge Valley or any of this art, so seriously, thank you guys so much for making it possible for me to even do this at all.

I don't have the words to express how grateful I am to each of you guys. Whether you...

Y'all remember that one mouse girl design from ages back? Well, we got another one to go with it!

Another design from the STARTAIL universe, this time it's my friend's character, her Space Pirate wolf, Jenna Banshee.

Haha oh jeez I sure hope she doesn't get fat or anything that would suck

ELVES!

Well, the poll I posted a while ago was kinda split on every single platform, so I decide "eh, screw it", and I started with some fantasy designs. Next thing I do will probably be anthro-related, don't worry!

Originally, this was an experiment to see if I could draw in a semi-anime style, but I feel like I lost a lot of that identity in the style of these once I moved onto rendering. I'll need to work on that if I ever wanna try this again in the future.

But honestly...

View Post

ELVES! (wip)

So, I threw a poll for fantasy races vs. anthros, and it was practically tied on almost every platform I posted it to. Here, the Discord server, Twitter, etc.

So I figured since I haven't done many humanoid character designs, I'd give it a try. Plus, to mix things up, I decided to experiment with a more anime-ish style. Here's how it's going so far! Still very WIP, but it's not looking half bad imo :)

(ALSO HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! PRETEND THEY'RE SUPER SPOOKY <3)
