I can’t believe it’s almost 2026. It feels like yesterday was 2019.

Just a bit of an update. I might do more later on tonight, but I’m a little tired of looking at this thing. #art #wip #monster #oc

Those eyes… The image of the black hole really stuck with me after seeing it so long ago. It had shown up in a lot of my past works and creature designs. #art #creature #monster #WIP

Christmas Eve…

More work for my personal project. I might like drawing grumpy old men. #art #oc #ocsky

The Hanged Man but with her clothes on! Slowly chipping more away at this creature in between other work. #art #creature #wip #oc

Finally getting around to drawing my ocs again. Starting off strong by drawing the Sentinels… who uh… never show their faces. Real productive use of my time. #art #oc #ocsky

The Hanged Man; part of a larger creature design that I am working on. It’s partly an art trade and partly for personal work. #art #sketch #creature #oc

Took some time out to start attempting to redesign stuff from my longest running project. This is just form 1 of many. After letting the design take shape in my Paint doodles its final time for the real deal lol. #art #oc #characterdesign

I love having artist friends! I get to ask them to draw funny things and it just makes my day. One of the best feelings in the world is to have someone else embrace the madness!

I’m rooting for the beastie here, sorry Pomni and Jax…

I love going to bed and waking up worse!

Some #sketches I forgot to share the other night. Based on some of @eronous.bsky.social wacky anecdotes, a first and second attempt since I wasn't satisfied.

Holiday doodling #art #sketches #critters

Critter scribble #art #sketch #critter

More work on a fan project that I have been working on for the past few years. It’s been on the back burner for a while now as I got pretty severe burnout. #art #sketch #wip

Messing with a shared canvas thing with a friend. This is my side after I plugged in my tablet. #art #sketch #oc #ocsky

Critter doodles #art #sketches

First snow fall of the year… followed shortly but the second and third. It’s whimsical the first few hours, but terrible when you wake up in the morning and have to scrap ice off your car.

Goldie For whatever reason, everything just worked out with the tablet. I’m not sure what I did, but it feels smooth now. #art #digital #creature

I hate AI images so much. It’s fairly difficult to find good reference photos without accidentally getting a few that are AI. I hate how you have to look at every picture and ‘verify’ that it’s legit. It just makes me so sad.

Some critter doodles that I like. #art #sketch #creature

Random #doodle I made for a friend, I'm happy with it so there it is. #OC belongs to @eronous.bsky.social

More tablet testing, the change in process is pretty jarring. It’s going to take a bit of time to get back to normal. #art #sketch #creature

I am fascinated by so many different creatures that simply just terrify me. For example, the bobbit worm is so interesting, but if I saw one in real life I think my soul would ascend to the next plane.

To make toothy critters or not? That’s the real question.

Buys tablet, still uses MS Paint… Something about just lets you be bad. You have a mouse, an idea, and absolutely no hopes of trying to make it look good. These create the best sketches ever!

I wish that I had the skills to make all of the tools that need. It would be so much easier than hoping someone else had made something close enough to what I need.

Someone got the boys some wearable blankets. I seriously need one of these, it’s so cold up here now! #art #sketch #oc

Putting “stock image” at the end of my search like it’s going to save me.

It’s going to take a bit to get used to the new feeling and layout, but for the first time in a while have a digital sketch! Yes, I did in fact draw on the background layer lmao! #sketch #art #oc

The new tablet came in much sooner than expected. All hail overnight shipping?

There is a certain joy in just creating something that I wish all could experience. There is nothing better than looking back at something and saying, “yes, I made that.”

Ishkarn and Alheim, two guys who are so similar that it leads to them despising each other. #art #sketch #oc

This is Eronous he can control fire, lightning, and is stronger than normal. He has is anemic and hasn’t learned how to go down stairs without having a near death experience. Just stand atop some stairs and you’ll be safe from him or something. He also forgets that he can be useful… #oc

Dragon thing, I’ll keep shading some other time. It’s very relaxing. #art #sketch #dragon #wip

I probably should look at making a proper portfolio. All my files are so scattered…

Creature scribbles #art #sketch

Finally! I have ordered a proper drawing tablet. No longer shall I be confined to my terrible old laptop!

More sketchbook work. It’s been a long week. #art #sketches #oc

It’s the little things in life… like being able to go to bed early! After a few weeks of going to bed at 1 am, it felt good getting to call it at 9 pm.

Some random sketches from my notes. I have been looking at looks of snakes for the past couple of days. They just have nice jaw structures, very good for making things out of. #art #sketches #dragon

For as long as I have been on the internet, only now have I finally installed an ad blocker. It is so much nicer now.

I spent so long doom scrolling on YT shorts yesterday that I deleted the app from my phone. It was bad. Hopefully I can slowly kick that habit. Short form content has been such a terrible thing for me.

Please accept this terrible photo of my cat. Her loafing skills are not up to par. #cat

Taking a deeper look at my characters and world building, so much of this is just bad! Many times have I looked back at my notes and just shook my head.

More OC stuff. It’s been a productive few days, I have sat down and actually working on characters. The laptop that I used for PS all but gave up the ghost. So, I’m looking into getting a proper drawing tablet! #art #sketches #oc

I’m reworking a lot of characters from one of my projects. There was a lot that I was unhappy about, but I have been given the space to make those hard changes. It’s easy to get stuck and just let annoyances build up. I spent too much time on just a few characters that I neglected many more.

Another simple sketchy #dragon bust. I like the rocky texture on this one. #art #sketch

Random creature doodle from one of my notebooks. Maybe I should collect a whole bunch of my notebook doodles. I have made some decent things. #sketch #art
