I love it when my friends tell me about their OCs and lore. "Look, I made a guy. This is why he can't ever find peace. Here's his dick"

Concept art featuring Two of my original characters. this took a while because I was trying something a little different with the background art style. Not 100% satisfied; but at this point, it's been too long; so chalking it up to experience. #OC #OCart

🐾 Meeow, hiii~! Gonna come pet me and get cozy~? 🎨 Some comfy-cozy kitty art by @sioteru.com! #Furry #FurryArt #NSFW

Website update! I've put up a bit more information for my commissions :- www.gnotknormal.com/artwork/comms You can now see examples for everything in the "A La Carte" section, along with updated ToS (vital read if you ever want to #commission me).

Wow, there are so many species of squirrel

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

Well, those boots were not made for walking

Already said it before but I'll repeat myself again If you're an artist and you only draw for high numbers and attention, you will not be happy with yourself This kind of mentality can kill creativity and motivation to the point where you'll think you're worthless for "not being popular enough"

Do any of you folks think you'd rename an OC because there is a character in popular media with the same name? (it's not a real/common name).

When you’re visibly queer it’s very easy to become alternately treated like a eunuch, an amusement for others, and a threat. It can easy to underestimate just how quickly the treatment can shift from one form to another

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

#Inky from my graphic novel, 'Qin Terra'. Inky is the titular character's younger sibling. They're kind, sociable and just an all-round sweetheart. #art #webcomic #originalcharacter #oc #qinterra Character: #aemu #closedspecies #child Style: #partialbackground #fullbody #digitalart #fullcolour

ordered my new screen tablet! it feels so weird, as someone who has always been poor - to replace something that isn't broken or damaged. my current tablet works perfectly even after several years. heck I've gone through less than half of the pen nibs.

Fresh new leggy

working out the UVs and textures etc. this part is a bit more tedious and less fun than the modelling itself. #3dmodel #blender #blender3d #3dart #oc #wip

More #3dmodelling fun. Original #lowpoly model (670 polys). And a newer "overworld" model, even lower poly, #chibi -fied and with only 237 polys haha. #3dart #ocart #art #blender #blender3d #3d #modelling #digital #originalcharacter #oc #myoc

today I bought myself a proper dad jumper. from sainsbury's. it's grey. 1/4 zip.

your heart jumps because you saw that celebrity you have a crush on. mine jumped because I had a passing thought about my special interest. we are not the same.

Mega dragonite awakened something within me (the need to draw it as salamander) Inspired in part by the work of RJ Palmer of course! #dragonite #pokemon #realisticpokemon #megadragonite

Today I have achieved 1) low poly model of Woofe, 2) lots of work on my #3d mask, 3) ordered a new mattress, 4) cooked dinner, 5) ate chocolate Deffo going to need a rest day tomorrow, but happy with this :D #blender3d #blender #lowpoly #lowpolyart #art #3dartist

Despite being so busy last year, I've actually posted all of the artwork I'm happy with in Bluesky already. I want to keep active and keep sharing my #art, so here is an old one of Ruska from my graphic novel. #digitlaart #artistsofbluesky #comics

OKAY 2025 is done. Here is a little display of my #art through the year. I'm proud that I've done something every single month, as I haven't managed it the last few years. For 2026, I'm hoping to keep at it! Got lots to work on :D #artsummary #art2025 #digitalart #furryart

More work on it, can't wait to print this at some point. Just need to get the motivation to finish it (help)

Maybe next year

Every time I draw my sona he looks less and less like me irl lol I spent too long on this and now I feel like the expression is just soulless ;_; #artwork #me #art #digital #ocart #digitalart #oc #mysona #LGBTcreator #abstractbackground #humanoid #queercreator #humansona #midi #transartist #gnotoc

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

❤️🔵🔥 #Digimon

I stuck it in aseprite, made it smaller and used indexed colours from my custome palette. I quite like how this looks, but it still doesn't have enough flavour to it.

Tried to do a #background study. God I suck at these. Honestly, if anyone can give me like a STARTING POINT for learning backgrounds I would love to hear it. I'm not talking about landscapes, necessarily. I'm talking about environments in which to add (a) focal character(s). #art

ATTENTION ARTISTS AND ANY ASPIRING PIXEL ARTISTS!!! Aseprite is on sale on Steam!! It's a Pixel art program for art/animating and I highly recommend! (I have almost 700 hours in it!) It's $13 and a one time payment for an excellent program!!

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Banking app: you've just received loads of money :O Me: no, that was me. That was my money moving from another account. You were THERE !!

On his way to deliver a big o' stabby #MonsterRancher #Daton

Shameless plug for the site ko-fi here: this is one of the animals I've had to drive the farthest to photograph! I will happily travel for photo opportunities but it's $$. This site has no funding outside of donations, so any contribution really helps. ko-fi.com/animalphotor...

Okay so I've been very quiet because I've been working on a project! Not a lot of space to chat about it here, but essentially I've been designing fox fursonas. Go take a look at [my website](www.gnotknormal.com/projects/fox...)! I'm very proud of myself :3 And share if you like! <3

oh my god this is so fun. xD I love it (playing it now)

reading about genAI slop brokers makes me want to draw more weird manual art. extremely realistic brachiosaurus reconstruction for you

You have to be incredibly lucky to rent a home that any landlord would be happy to live in.

Parts and Pain. A good lesson without the harmful stereotypes.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends. scz.org/blog/the-rea...

no idea
