❤️ I'VE MOVED ❤️ @kmcritterart.bsky.social

Will be moving to "kmcritterart" on here where I will be posting my work from now on.

I don't share WIPs a lot of the time but it's fun to see an artist's process (imho) so I thought I'd post one for anyone who feels the same.

What's this? Another coyote? (Just an underpainting for now)

Border collie sketch, other (more polished) stuff in the works but for now have a random dog.

Apparently it’s only 30% of people who have a narrator type voice in their head and who think in images and voice. I can’t get over that, I cannot get my brain to shut up, it’s like 800 thoughts of nonsense all running at once

Moleskine spread with some friend-shaped sketches.

A piece for @alexpuffle.bsky.social who was patient with me juggling projects (thank you!) these characters were fun to work with <3

"Provision" 18x24 on canvas board.

A little preview of the painting I'm working on.

hey not to be all corny but please understand and internalize that your creative work is vital and beautiful whether others see/hear it or not and that your creative expression enriches the world just by your having done it

Painting of Skulldog's "Mischer", such a cool character design.

I really wish I had a looser, more expressive style. I don't like that everything is contained so well, I want my work to have "life".

"Victory" 16x20 Acrylic on Canvas

The sketch for my most recent piece.

"Clockwork" 13x13 Acrylic on Wood

A magpie and wolf merging, I had some direction for this piece at first but it has evolved a bit and I'm not even sure how to describe or title it. Now I have to get creative with layering colors with all the overlapping elements...

Reminder to my artist friends that this awesome site exists. It lets you pick a species of animal, set the orientation of the skull, and then search for pictures of that animal that match the skull position. Also, consider tipping the creator if you found it useful! x6ud.github.io#/

"Bounty" current work in progress...

"Agnus Dei" 7x14 acrylic on canvas

Updated ref sheet for my fox gal who I still have not named...

"The Way Home" a gift for my grandmother. ❤️ 12x24 acrylic on canvas.

An abyssinian because they are simply gorgeous cats! Colors are a bit brighter in person. 7x14 acrylic on canvas.

I happen to love coyotes and their mischievous nature in stories. I wanted to capture that personality here. The background is based on the canyon lands in Utah.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FAR. Your characters are all so fun but I never draw dragons so this was overdo.

A little gift for chalkrub, as I just had to try my hand at the lovely Mendel!

"Drink Deep" My last painting of 2023 and a good way to wrap up the year, looking forward to a new chapter.

My yearly Christmas card design ❤️

8x13 Acrylic on wood

Making progress!!

For my friend Sunny, a.k.a DuffleFig!

Just sharing a bit of my process.

"The Seeker" A gift for Mar (Maranda Cromwell) who has given me so much inspiration.

Pensive pachyderm? Seems like a good enough title ;)

A sly fox enjoying some blackberries. A fun piece I did for my nutritionist.
