This is a big part of why I founded the animal photo reference repository: because AI slop has made finding good, real references harder while promising using them doesn’t matter… I hope to see more efforts exist to curate and restore accurate references for all sorts of subjects and places.

I have thousands of photos. Trace them. Mash them together like Frankenstein. Collage. Experiment with mixed media. This is why I make and share stock photos for artists. You can learn from what's REAL and make it YOUR OWN instead of having something done for you that isn't your own vision.

Michael, my favorite neighbor, broke into my house again and rubbed up against everything Michael's a cat btw

Sounds like a warzone outside so I'm guessing the Dodgers won 😂

The pomeranian across the street is dressed as Chucky 😂

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 28: Inspirations Here's a little doodle of Aster in Howl's coat because they're both magical drama queens who love trinkets. I'm prepping for Day of the Dead so I didn't have a lot of time today 🥲 #oc #art #ocart #artsky #ocsky #digitalart #OC-tober2025

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 27: redesign I went with Cassian and kept the sickly, necromancer hermit look. I wanted to also highlight his life after escaping Ethelred. He lives in the woods, foraging materials to make medicines to sell. He looks too nice, lol #oc #art #artsky #ocsky #ocart OG v new

A casa de banho ✨ A viagem de Chihiro #fanart #ghibli

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 20: Community week! Cheating a little by just doing free sketches, lol. Character credits go to @/moontokkym @/DasIstWunderblyat and @/justincarbunkle Check out their work on #Tapas! #oc #art #ocart #artsky #OC-tober #characterart

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 19: Palette #7/ Adventurous This is a scene from later on in Dreamseer where Aster dives into some freezing water for a shiny crystal, lol. I had some trouble deciding what to draw, but I like what I ended up with! #oc #art #ocart #ocsky #artsky #OC-tober2025

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 18: Palette #6/ Monster/Scary Okay, so one of my unpublished WIPs has a manticore in it, which was perfect for today! I love mythical creatures and monsters so I had fun doing this, but it's really rushed because I was out all day, lol. #oc #art #ocart #OC-tober2025 #artsky

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 17: Palette #5/ Serene/Magic Back to drawing Aster! His earring turns into a bird that carries messages for him when it's urgent or something he wants to keep secret. Or when he's too lazy to write a note, lol #oc #art #ocart #artsky #OC-tober2025

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 16: Palette #4/ Angel Combined prompts again and decided to go with Alyssa this time! I think the palette really suited her, even if I half assed the wings, lol. #oc #art #ocart #characterart #artsky #ocsky

This is going viral again...thought I'd post it here for awareness! In unrelated news, I'm open for work!

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 15: Palette #3/villain Went with Ethelred from Antemortem because he's one of my fav villains. He's such a horrible person, lol. This was a really fun palette to work with! #oc #art #ocart #artsky

New chapter of Dreamseer is up on #Tapas! #booksky #webnovel #tapasnovel #fantasy #romantasy #BL tapas.io/series/dream...

#bweirdoctober2025Day 14: Palette #2 /romance Of course I went with these two. Really enjoyed working with more muted colors! Wish I had more time to refine it and do more details, but that's how I usually feel about the palette challenges, lol #art #oc #ocart #artsky #ocsky

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Go support some streamers, content creators, artists, podcasters, story tellers, writers. There's all kinds of Indigenous excellence to celebrate.

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 13: animal/silly/palette #1 Decided to mix all three prompts and ended up with Oliver and Alyssa in animal onesies JoJo posing 😂 Alyssa's doing my fav pose, Caesar's. Oliver's so done with this, lol #oc #art #ocart #artsky #ocsky

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 12: Weaknesses From an unpublished WIP, here's Oliver absolutely sucking at a racing game, lol. He can play anything else but racing games are his weak point #oc #art #ocart #artsky #ocsky

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 11: Strengths Elias is handy with knives, daggers and all manner of pointy things. They come in useful during all the many times he gets into trouble #oc #art #ocart #artsky #ocsky

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 10: Symbolism/Themes There's a lot of symbolism in Dreamseer with all the things Aster sees in his dreams. The blues and purples represent magic and the asphodel hints at Aster's future, with the watch reminding him he's short on time. #oc #art #ocart #artsky #ocsky

Now why would anyone write a Hitler isekai? I'm so tired ya'll... 🤦🏻‍♀️

#bweidOctober2025 Day 9: Inventory In the world of Dreamseer, mages use accessories made from metals and crystals to make magical artifacts that serve other purposes. Here's Aster's everyday items and him getting ready with a little added bonus #oc #art #ocart #artsky #ocsky

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 8: Personality Aster has an odd personality. He's very manipulative, but also nice, so 🤷🏻‍♀️ He loves to joke around and tease. Lately, he's had a lot of fun picking on his husband and spreading rumors about why they married so suddenly. #art #ocart #ocsky #artsky

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 7: Home Using some old art because I'm feeling a little sick. Aster's home has been the Magic Tower for a while, where he spends most of his time with his assistant/student, Quinn. He's been living with his "husband" lately though, lol #art #ocart #ocsky #artsky

New chapter of Dreamseer is up on #Tapas! #WebNovel #TapasNovel #writing #booksky tapas.io/series/dream...

Was gonna write but now there's someone holed up in a house down the street and there's like a dozen patrol cars and a helicopter outside, so...🥲

#OC-tober Day 6: Relationship Could I have done something romantic? Yes. But these two are so funny to me. They're fighting over an apple, not because either really wants it but because they don't want the other to have it. They're besties. 😌 #bweirdOCtober2025 #artsky #OCsky #ocart #art

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 5: Under-appreciated OC Here's Penny! She's keeping the family business going, but she's not very good at villainy and neither are her henchmen, but she tries! 😂 #art #oc #ocsky #artsky #OCtober

Day 4 of #OCtober : sona/self insert I don't really have one, but here's the doodle I use as an icon/profile pic #bweirdOCtober2025 #art

People who use AI generated images: it's just as good as real art! comics made with AI:

#OCtober Day 3: Fav OC No surprises here, but my current fav to draw is Aster from Dreamseer! He's a mage who can see the future through dreams and is currently in a fake marriage. He and his husband get along surprisingly well, lol #ocart #oc #art #bweirdOCtober2025 #artsky

Day 2 of #OCtober : Old OC Here's Eli, from Vigilante, a grumpy college student and the current crush of the local vigilante! #art #ocart #characterart #bweirdOCtober2025 #artsky

First day of #OC-tober and I'm starting out with this guy from Antemortem! Can't wait to introduce him and show you all how much of a jerk he is, lol #art #characterart #ocart #bweirdoctober2025

Thank you for all your kind messages, my dad's operation is finished and they removed a tumor from his colon. Hopefully, he'll be able to fight off the infection with antibiotics too. If you can, please donate to my ko-fi to we can afford paying his surgery 🥺🙏 ko-fi.com/studiowanwan...

New WIP sketch. Got lazy eventually and used my pen tablet instead of the display one because I wanted to stay in bed, lol #art #oc #ocart #characterart #artsky

New chapter of Dreamseer is up! Check it out if you like fantasy, slow-burn romance and BL! #booksky #BL #TapasNovel

had a bit of time to finish that one character re-design for Antemortem! #art #ocart #characterart #digitalart #artsky

Doing a redesign of a character from Antemortem and I really want to get back to that story so I can introduce this asshole 😭😂
