Cuteness is always the answer.

Been struggling with tooth pain for 2 months & finally have surgery scheduled for next Tuesday. Estimated cost is $1100 & could really use some help 😭🙏🏼 I have adopts, bases, small merch & commissions available @ ko-fi.com/bloodfirewolf #bloodfirewolf #commsopen

Ohh heartbreak. Jackie and Shadow's clutch was... eaten by ravens over the weekend.

Finally had some time to post this lovely piece of art I had commissioned from @likeshine.bsky.social of a Star Trek Online RP character that I RP with named K'tarn. I believe that Likeshine is still open for commissions, and she does some pretty damned amazing stuff!

It’s that time of year again! #mestrong5k

This is my friend Morticia. Or my friend Gomez. Tbh I can’t exactly tell them apart.

Another art post? GASP. This was for Manu Koa and Ralen. I don't do a lot of scenic stuff like this so it was a fun challenge! Thank you both very much <3 #art

We can't stop here. This is bat country! first art post of the year, only took me 9 days :/ TY again to Grael for the commission! This was one of my favorite things that I drew in 2025.

You’ve been pulled into the corgi tractor beam. There is no escape.

I wish I could properly express the horror I felt just now when I tried to save an important file in Sai, and got the error that it was unable to and had broken the canvas. I felt like my life flashed before my eyes in that moment.

Why does Aunt Clara hate Randy so much? She made Ralphie the pink bunny suit, but nothing for Randy.

So so cool, thank you !!!!

Oh, the scream of despair I emitted a few minutes ago, when the power blinked out in the middle of a perfect sunny day, while I was working on a commission due next week…

@likeshine.bsky.social, the cookies are an important offering

2025 kind of broke my spirit, y'all. This has been updated quietly in the background, but not as often as I should. Still got about 50 folks to go. Sorry to have let you all down. Happy Un-Birdstaking! Use the link if you wanna look closely. www.melissasumby.com/wp-content/u...

Gonna be afk til Thursday, be well, say hi to your crow bros and eat many cookies while I am gone 💚
