Arting with a Bipolar2/ADHD brain: when you're done, you're DONE. Had a burst of productive energy, but now you're hitting a wall? Concentration suddenly scattered? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Don't just trudge on. Listen to your body. Take a breather. Eat good food. Get rest. Tomorrow is a new day...

Current comission WIP

Really old sketches of mine that a freind had in her sketchbook and was sweet enough to scan for me! Damn, I kinda miss two of these characters: Angus the lynx and Marcellus the necromancer bunny. They were for a heavily "Slayers" inspired fantasy story I've had knocking about in my head for ages.

Another 2 rough commission ideas sent to a client. Time to wrap up my day and give my drawing hand a rest. Woof. I'm "old" or something. 🫠

Another finished commission! Artwork for a very cool visual novel project. That's about all I can say on it. Colours are my speculative touch, as I've just been providing the line work for my cleint :) Interested in a commission? Here are the deets bsky.app/profile/daem...

Yes, I'm still working on a small batch of older commissions as well as the recent "emergency bills" ones. I still have room for one more from the emergency batch! IF interested, check my ealier posts.

A cat a day keeps the blahs away...

Just finished commission 1 of 3. Still have one more space open! Check my posts for details.

Heyo, I've decided to add one more spot! Probably won't be done by Dec 1st given the time frame, but if you can work with that, give me a shout! daemonscratches at gmail dot com. Let me know which style you'd be after in your email, and which email I can invoice you at. Cheers!

The roughest of rough ideas. This is how it always begins! A big fluffy mess 😅

Today on "Things I'd Rather Not Be Doing", my apartment management gave a less than 24 hour notice of entry for annual unit inspections. While this isn't actually a big deal, I just have to declutter, the routine loving part of my brain has categorized this event as "rude, obtrusive danger" 🤣

Damn, this really took off! Thank you all! Still one spot available!

I don't think I've shared this. In October I wrapped up my 9 month contract as a digital ink & paint artist on this sweet upcoming Cartoon Saloon film! Beautiful animation, wonerful designs, and heartwarming story, I'm excited to see it debut in 2026! www.cartoonsaloon.ie/julian/

I'm in a "can't pay my bills and need cat supplies" situation for November. I've a couple of old owed commissions, but I need to make an emergency exception and re-open: 3 slots 1 character $120 USD (flats/ BG splash) $150 (BG/shading) USD Done by Dec 1 email me at daemonscratches at gmail dot com

Cycling this around one last time. Picked up her paw print memorial today and I've had it energy wise. I'm exhausted.

I hate posting this, but I'm in a bind. Even if you can't donate, shares are still very much appreciated. Thanks 🙏 gofund.me/fe4d620df

Rest in peace and breathe easy, my sweet Elzie.April 2013 - October 11 2025

Trying to rustle up the energy to finish this old commission! I'm still figuring out medication dosages and balancing work with managing my health. It just is what it is. I'm dealing.

The seamless co-op mod makes Eldenring feel nostalgically Skyrim...

If dysfunction is a function Then my must be some kind of GE-NI-US... youtu.be/eGyhggr96Uk?...

I haven't made a music post in forever. I like sharing what nourshes my core. Meshuggaaaaaaaaaah! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyWb...

It hit like a truck. I've been having mixed hypomanic epsiodes WAY more than the euphoric ones, and this is WHY I've been misdiagnosed for DECADES with just unipolar major depression and anxiety. I JUST learned about mixed hypomania. It makes SO much bloody sense! I also rapid cycle. So that's fun.

Finally decided to revisit those goofy Brutal: Paws of Fury characters and did my own rendistion of Indrah aka "Foxy Roxy"

A vibing Sharky...

Work friends

I'm hype if this is actually going down...

Hard to believe this little dark void maniac turned 13 this month! Happy birthday month, Allie!

Always wondered why it's a weird concept for an anthro character to have a regular animal as a pet. I guess we're so used to thinking of ourselves as so far removed from nature that we forget we are pretty weird animals ourselves?

Hey, if anyone's into TCG Pocket, add me!

Excited to say that it was confirmed today that I'll be recieving my first named credit on an animated feature! I do have previous experience in feature work in prop design and some development stuff, but have never been credited as an individual. It was just the service studio as a whole.

I'm really trying to make things right with commission catch-ups. I don't know what to do with myself or how to even handle my brand. I'm trying to be kind to myself, but I'm honestly feeling like a massive ass. Personal life is still a mess. Striking balance where I can when I have the energy.

What started off as a completely different idea turned into a angle puppy... WIP of a Tindalos Hound I've been chipping away at on stream.

Small sketches of Amelia... more tubby 'round the middle required.

Believe it or not commissions are NOT dead, but I'm not taking any until I've addressed these very long overdue ones. I'm not a complete shithead. Just... been very effed up for a year+. So anyway, here's the latest! Ref sheet. Yeh...

It's cake day. 44 candles... I'll get my tutu and a damn extinquisher ready!

Somehow I've managed, but after months of unemployment I am now back at a studio as a digital ink & paint artist on a 2D feature. Also, screw X. I've removed my accounts from that platform. Blegh! Where the hell have I been, though? Out of my mind. Getting that back one day at a time. Rebuilding.

Happy 2025! Not dead! Huzzah!

UwU I need to log in and post more often. Here's a quick rough sketch I did of my cat, Allie, slinking away to find security under some blankets during my building's fire alarm testing. I always feel bad for pets when loud, scary things have to happen. Might animate this later.

Finished commission! Character belongs to my client (I'm so sorry, I don't know your name on this platform!)

Commissions update: Doing a lot of starting and stalling. Mental health is still not great. Thanks for your patience.

Latest commission! This one's for Eligecos... Commissions are still open, BTW!

Recently finished commissions! Characters belong to my clients.

Today's finished commission!

Wow, I am SUPER lagging on posting here! Uh, so here are some more commissions I had cranked out.... characters belong to my clients!

Recently finished commission! I'm not sure if my client is here, so no direct tag, but character belongs to him! Metalhead cheetah! Of course this one was right up my alley 🤘

Ermahgerd, Blurskee Accurnt! Welcome to my personal little hell bubble!
