GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

A handful of the many bits and bobs that are in progress right now (some past this stage, but I liked the look of the linework). I've been so quiet because of "things", but I've been busy! I have a lot more going on than even this in actuality 😬 I miss sharing stuff, so here!

Pushed the sketchbook's media tolerance limits with this one. Sköll is always a delight to draw <3

Thank you so much @thattrafficcone.bsky.social and @blackwing24.bsky.social for thinking of me. These sketches of Idet and Dust are so sweet and unexpected, and came at the perfect time since life has been pretty rotten and now I'm sick to boot. An absolute spark of comfort and joy out of nowhere! 😭

We've made a feed that is JUST our free art reference posts! Should contain almost every post we've ever made that included free references! Which is a lot. bsky.app/profile/did:...

"Dreams of Sunbeams" (Bronze-Winged Pionus) 18”x18” oil on stretched canvas I will miss you, always A memorial painting of my girl, four years in the making.

Gonna try to post some sketches and stuff that's gone vastly (even entirely) unshared from over the past few years. These ones are sketches of Nadamat, a Kravosi OC of mine, and best boy that needs me to draw a lot more art of him for how involved he is in my stories

Hey! I'd like to make a thread demonstrating drawing tips. Not "how to draw" but "why I draw this way". I was going to start with some simple "I wish I had known" but - what would you like to see? Ask how/why I do/would do or approach [X] and I may put it in the thread! Share so more folks can ask!

Creature design for an art trade event, this one was for @lepaondu.bsky.social 🖤🐋

the minotaur aka the winged lion

Today, I spent most of the day without power or access to my projects, so I camped this tablet and sketched things to pass the time. Today also happens to be the 20th anniversary of one of my favorite games, Okami, so I snuck this one in. I feel a replay in my bones.
