a funny little frog hovers up to you and looks you right in the eye. do you: a) pet it softly and gently on its lil froggy head b) pick it up and hold it, or c) stare back unblinking until it gets the hint and leaves

here's a new upload of a picture i made a while ago! story is in the alt text! Part 1 has my giant shrew monster lady HECATE hunting down American Neo nazi terrorists in a south american country "United Federation of Prospera" #monstergirl #ocsky #valiantwarriorsquadron

Uni sometimes turns into a weird shape :3

It's my birthday!! I'm 49 - how did that happen? I would LOVE it if you could share or follow my art for my birthday, that would be a brilliant gift! Thank you everyone who follows and comments, it is such a great place here! 49 feels ace btw. #artshare #birthday #watercolour www.emilyhare.co.uk

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

New painting from Steve R Dodd - ‘Deep Space: Broken Moon’ (2024)

I just realized I have never posted this.

A universe in motion seen from the International Space Station during a night pass over Earth (view fullscreen).

The Great Old Ones - this is something already existed in my mind when illustrating the previous cephalopods piece; and so glad I’ve completed it so now I can display them side by side💙 Never stop missing prehistoric cephalopods! Thinking about making this one a silver foiled print as well!

A rare Shin piece

Lil shin doodle for some lil prints #godzilla #kaiju

can I finish #Invertober2024 before #Invertober2025? unlikely, but I have some time before Silksong, so might do some catchup doodling Day 7 - Chrysis ignita (Ruby-tailed wasp) ❗ #SciArt #invertebrates

oh you can’t even provide a process video for your AI slop? bohoo miss me with that as i struggle and succeed at wing sparkles

Some art experiments! This sketchbook smears like hell, so I've been seminforced into using ink. The minimal pencil sketches seem to erase completely which allows me better pose planning. Here's WRAITH and JANAVARA just standing. #valiantwarriorsquadron #ocsky

what's your "artist red flag"? 🚩 im too flighty and get REALLY INTO a project only to get bored after a while and move onto something else, leaving a trail of unfinished WIPs in my wake :<

As promised: character sketches!🐦 The first is "Buzzard Roost's main protagonist, Ray, a detective whose father was killed in a shootout by the Irish mafia. The second is of Don Gino (Giovanni Luciano), murdered in cold blood by an unknown assailant. #art #traditionalart #noir #furry #furryart

finished his piece this morning! Crystal and her Bf! they go synchronized swimming in the Big Mean Monster Queen building private pool as exercise and a mean to bond together! its funny how dignified i made her BF because he is a giant doofus. #furry #ocsky

Another piece of work I don't think I shared publicly, this one from a couple years ago. This creature is a Thaed leviathan, revered and feared by the Kravosi almost universally. I've always called them caraskin, but I'm currently a bit wobbly on the name. They're one of my most beloved creatures.

veronica and her best friend MAXILLA after fighting a convoy of EF-ENGLAND soldiers. The two differ politically, MAXILLA a marxist, veronica a centre-right monarchist and baroness of the HCA. both enjoy killing neo nazis, but war is war and it takes its toll on both. #valiantwarriorsquadron #ocsky
