I recently learned of a mythological creature from Korea called the Yeongno, which I thought was super cool, so I doodled a version of Kiiro inspired by it. #eattherichgotoheaven

I'm much happier with this more cartoony version of Kobold Kiiro - now all I have to do is figure out how to draw them "on model" consistently. Ha, yeah good luck with that 😂 #ocsky #fursona #kobold #digitalart #cartoon #drawing

The more I worked on this, the more things I found to dislike about it, and the more time I was spending trying to get it to look "right" - I eventually decided to just stop fiddling and get to work on the next iteration

I had this idea the other day that wouldn't leave me alone until I drew it: what if Kiiro was actually more like a Kobold? I freaking love Kobolds, so yeah, here we go... #WIP #workinprogress #sketch #kobold #fursona

I've been experimenting with an overhead camera to record my process because I have an irrational fear of being accused of using AI...

check out the difference a little reference can make 😜 don't ever let anyone tell you it's cheating or a waste of time 😘 #digitalsketch #artWIP #fursona

I started doodling this in pen and acrylic markers and now I want to remake it digitally with reference 😂 #artWIP #doodle #fursona #acrylicmarkers

This commission took me way too long to finish, but I really enjoyed the process of making it. Client asked me to draw their cat as Chiron the Ferryman, but with some specific quirks about their pet. I absolutely love bringing these sort of mash-up concepts to life 🥰 #CommissionArt #noAI

I had such an enjoyable time working on this commission last year for @ankaret.bsky.social - I'm so happy with how the lighting turned out. I don't get to go full-out with backgrounds like this often enough, but I'm glad that I did it. #humanartists #noai #commissionart #digitalart

I think I've finally drawn Kiiro enough times in their new possum form that I'm gonna call this project done. Now I can finally draw them doing something cute later... 🤭 #characterdesign #OCsky #furryart #fursona #nonbinary #enby #introvert

I could keep fiddling with this version for forever, but not get any closer to what I actually want because I made too many little details I don't actually want to draw again 😂😭 time to start over again, I guess 🤣 #characterdesign #OCsky #furryart #fursona #nonbinary #enby

I need to correct my previous statement: I'm not "still" feeling cute, no no no - I'm *finally* feeling cute, despite being nearly 40 and looking like a carbon-copy of my dad and grandpa. #nonbinary #transjoy

My art-brain wouldn't leave me alone until I made a version of this in my usual drawing style/process so I could have a new cartoony profile pic. It makes me laugh, okay. #art #cartoon #selfportrait #artforme

that moment when you take an unflattering selfie and realize you look *exactly* like your dad, and your mom's dad, but don't give a fuck because you're nearly 40 and still feeling cute; #selfportrait #art

Hiya #PortfolioDay I'm Keirin - an enby character artist/illustrator and aspiring writer from Minnesota. I like drawing silly little guys, curvy girls, and soft boys in pretty dresses for the ttrpgs I play. I do commissions sometimes too... ko-fi.com/kiiroarts/co...

here's my third attempt at redesigning my #fursona Kiiro, with opossum vibes - much happier with this version #WIPart #sketch #characterdesign #OCsky #furry #furryart

second draft of Kiiro's redesign - tried a more colorful version that ended up looking too busy for me, but I only realized it halfway through the cleanup phase

None of us are free until *all* of us are free ✨

I've been working on another redesign of my fursona, Kiiro, for the last couple days and I like the direction its going.

I was worried I wasn't going to be able to finish my offering of Bubbles, my goldfish mermaid, by the end of #mermay but I made it just in time!

if you see this, post a witch! 🔥🧹

My commissions are currently open on Ko-fi at last year's rates 😍 I need to draw more and play less - I just need the right motivation! Priority is given to requests featuring anything on my "Likes Drawing" list 😘 ko-fi.com/kiiroarts/co... [ #commissionsopen #commissionme #digitalart #noAI ]

I finally finished this reference sheet commission I've been working on off-and-on for about a year and I feel such a huge sense of accomplishment. This one really benefitted from revisions I made along the way as I learned new things. [ #artcommission #dndart #refsheet #kobold #noAI ]

I've fallen back to drawing more SnicSnek because he's my comfort OC these days. I finally got around to figuring out how his mummy-claw-gnoll-leg weapon looks anyway... Now I just have to figure out what his new outfit looks like... [ #kobold #OCsky #sketch #WIP ]

I want to go back to bed to finish the dream I was having but I was rudely awakened by being too awesome standing up to the bullies in my own head

I'm streaming some drawin' stuff tonight 😊 www.twitch.tv/kiiroarts

I started working on a new design for my tiefling cleric, Gentle Pheminé, today. She's such a cinnamon roll, I want to draw her more. [ #characterdesign #sketch #OCsky #DnDart ]

I've got all these digital paintings sitting in a *nearly finished* state but I keep jumping onto new projects instead of just finishing them. Now I'm overwhelmed and can't decide which I should go back to first....

I just want to find a new magical, supernatural, "monster-of-the-day" fantasy series with an Edwardian aesthetic. Is that too much to ask?

I will not be obeying in advance. #nonbinary #neurospicy

This will be the last time I talk about this but it pisses me off that the main concern of the US government is banning TikTok but not even worried about making regulations on generative AI which poses a far more serious danger to everyone

It's #PortfolioDay and I want to share some of my favorite things I made in the last few years that I still love and want to make more like it in 2025. I play a lot of D&D and other RPGs and am planning to make a lot more TTRPG related stuff in the future.

I've got so many half-finished drawings from 2024 I haven't posted to any of my galleries, it's kinda overwhelming. It's just like my pile of washed laundry waiting to be folded and put away, but it keeps getting bigger and bigger and now I don't even know where to begin... 🥺

I wanted to practice drawing SnicSnek's face using giraffes and horses for reference, and ended up with this. #SnicSnek #Kobold #SillyFaces #SillyLittleGuy #DnDKobold #DnDCharacter #DnDArt #NoAI #DigitalArt #LineArt

I love this little guy so, so much. I get to be a complete chaos gremlin playing him and it's just been an absolute treat. #SnicSnek #Kobold #DnDKobold #DnDCharacter #DnDArt #DnDCharacterArt #CharacterArt #DigitalArt #NoAI
