Pitka, The Fall Fox

And the last of the guardians, but certainly not the least ow o

Pitka - As the guardian of Fall who protects The Ancient Forest during his season, Pitka is associated with bounty and harvest. He is a jovial and merry sort who enjoys nothing more than a good party or revel, something he encourages during his season and among his followers. It is his job to essentially harvest the remainder of the forest before winter, having great feast of the remaining fruits and increa...

Keerah, Summer's Sovereign

Here we have another seasonal guardian....well "guardian", she is a greater spirit that aids the other 3 in keeping the forest safe...kinda >w <

Keerah - Keerah is the Guardian of Summer and like the other spirits, guards the forest during her respective season. To call her a "guardian" is a ceremonial title, as she is in fact completely insane and does as she see's fit. She technically protects the forest because she sees it as her own personal play pen, keeping ...

Urga, The Winter Wolf

Another guardian of The Ancient Forest, this time we have our spirit of the winter season. Gonna keep the animel head/human body theme uw u

Urga - the ancient spirit that serves as the guardians of Winter. Urga is associated with the moon and death, with one of his major duties being watching over the souls of The Ancient Forest and shepherding them to the after life.

Kahli, The Spring Serpent

So for those of you who have followed me for abit (lol if any of you have) you know i have had this big snake character named Kahli who i mainly drew because i wanted a big monster bottom >w <

Anyway i was thinking on that lizard design i did and i figured i would apply some of what i liked from it to Kahli and update his look, so now he is a snake head on a human body. Honestly Animal head/Human body is a design im a huge fan of and need to do more.  any way time for lore.&n...

Meaty Lizard

Was doing some more practice with some higher effort rendering, it actually works really well and i dont really need a shading layer cause its already in the like...base layer though using different tints and shades. 

As of now i think the only way i could do like more advanced patterns is either to get really good at painting or use multiple layers, we shall see uw u

This green lizard with the red mohawk has shown up in my art before and i have never done anything with him, ...

CommProcess: Horror Movie Night

a flat comm for @/grimreeper448 of their adorable slugcat sona having a horror movie night with my big himbo wife, Honey. uw u

Its always nice to work on this kind of slice of life stuff for Honey, even when people commission it with their chars cause i get to think about them in mundane situations. Honey being a big momma bear type usually will round up the big spoon, but he does welcome those brave enough to try to make him the lil one.

Also i dont imagine he gets scared of horr...

WIP: Tikka's Ship

i was feeling a lil inspired last night and again i come back to what exactly i want Tikka to be. They have gone from a space pirate, to a mech pilot, to a fighter pilot but i think i like the idea of a fighter pilot. I have always been a fan of Star Fox and picturing him in a similar kind of setting and game fits really well. ^w ^

So have some designs for the Flamenco Ace! This would be Tikka's custom ship that they fly and honestly im just trying to settle on an aesthetic. The rub is ...

CommProcess: Healing for Leoforce

A flat comm for @ForcedPuns over on Twitter of their big lion man spending more time with their little healer bunny friend.

SO I LEARNED SOMETHINGS, like how to use a stabilizer here in the year of our lord 2023. So hopefully the linework here looks way cleaner.  Honestly i can notice the difference but it seems slight but i intend to keep using stabilized lines to make my lines look cleaner.

other than that this was a pretty straight forward comm uw u

Lil Binch

Still not sure exactlly what i want to draw but i doodled this lil bitch last night, they spend all day tearing up your furniture and leaving dead mice in your shoes. But still expect you to lavish them with attention

i have always loved more simple cartoonish designs but i can never really settle on them cause i also like really detailed designs, at least when it comes to things like clothing. 

i think i remember at one point thinking about doing more simplified cartoonish c...

Kincaid sketches

Sketches i worked on over the weekend of Kincaid, just touching on their design as well and getting in some hot bird content too.

I may go back and color these but i dont know, im not really feeling inspired in one way or another. Its not art block its just kind of not knowing what i WANT to draw?

Ill keep doing doodles and sketches between comms as i work through the week, hopefully something will grab me so i can get some premium content out ^w ^

New Bird Sketches

was doing some doodles to practice a new rendering style on and i found myself drawing this bird design again. People seem to really like it and i dig it myself, i even have an idea for the character.

I like the idea of him being some kind of sheriff, but i cant choose between the name Cassidy or Kincaid

Let me know what you guys think ^w ^

Render Practice 1

Lol a lil more technical content, im trying to work on stepping up my rendering game a lil

So this one is a lil more layer oriented cause i not only do some blending of tints and shades on the painting layer, i also still do a multiply and overlay layer for shading and lighting. 

The goal is to basically show more details or make certain areas pop more without using lines. Please let me know what you think ^w ^

Trinket is so used to getting wrecked like a cheap back alley goblin that he actually falls apart when your gentle with him. He is so not used to the feeling that he struggles to keep his composure which naturally leads to him running his mouth and cussing more. >w <

Brash and Rev: Mornings

Fresh from the new tablet, feels good >w <

Honestly i just miss drawing these two interacting in casual ways and its something i will think ill try to do a bit since you guys wanted to see more of these two.

Rev usually gets up before Brash and handles the cooking, but usually gets distracted once Brash is up. When they get done spending their time though they usually sit down for breakfast before getting into what ever trouble they have up for the day uw u

Nessie: Sneakin' in the Barn

"Ricky was getting in another hard days work, out in the field keeping eye on the automated plows and getting them running again if they ever broke down. The sun was high and the only thing keeping him from being drenched in sweat was the lil shade he got from the cap on his head.

You spot an adorable gal on the side of the road waving you down, yellow sundress barely being held down by a single well placed hand as the wind blows across the flat fields. You try not to ogle to much but its to easy to notice...

Usagi: Loving to Please (ft. Donkles)

with a new sona design of course i have to indulge myself a little and i was encouraged to use my friends character. Fortunately i had a perfect idea. 

Since it is my sona, i will openly admit im extremely susceptible to positive reinforcement when it comes to certain things.  I also like to please people and make them happy, so when i vocally hear them telling me im doing a good job it flips my switch a lil >w <
