This weekend is looking to perhaps have a decently large site update 👀 I'm going to start adding subpages that are linked thru other pages but not on the main directories, because. Mystery. But I have pages written for at least 2 regular characters and at least 2 more that will be indirectly added.

Just checked today and the No gen AI directory seems to have no more pending apps?? AND the application form is open? That can't be right. Anyway, appreciate any shares to get this into the hands of people who need visual artists for their projects!

Another ink painting for my site! This is the "Enter" image though the text isn't on this version. This is an original take on a "questing beast" type creature where the descriptors line up with a unicorn instead (long legs, white fur, 1 horn, etc) [ #Art #FantasyArt #InkArt #TraditionalArt ]

Just found out SCP Containment Breach got an update after like 8 years and put on Steam for free with workshop support. I'm too much of a weenie to actually play this game for more than 10 minutes but it's so nostalgic to see it again 🥹

The heron beast – illustration commission I had a lot of fun with!

Turns out Ko-fi is blatantly allowing bots with galleries full of GAI, specifically says not to report them unless there's specific illicit depictions (the same guidelines actual art has to follow basically.) Anyone care to put a word in with me? ko-fi.com/survey

Nuriel above a dusky sky for @bardy.bsky.social [ #Art #FurryArt #Dragons ]

Banner art from last year! It's landscape format so please full view! I mainly did it for my site but I use it on other platforms that let you have a banner as well. It's acrylic ink + acrylic markers + colored pencils. This one looks extra cool IRL. [ #Art #TraditionalArt #MixedMedia #ForestArt ]

🫶 Reauploading my 200 Free to Use Emote Bases on here too🫶 - can be used for absolutely anything/without restrictions again but: - DO NOT edit out the watermark when using them/DO NOT sell as your own bases, thank you - layered psd file download below ⬇️

One of the acrylic ink paintings I did last year for my website! This is the 404 page image, though the text is not on this version. Torch in his plant dragon form. [ #Art #Dragon #DragonArt #TraditionalArt ]

Surprise me commission for Corvarrow🪽

making a note to myself to come update my icon and banner later. since tumblr is determined to launch itself off a cliff (for real this time?) I may need to move over here lol. Hi everyone! again!

Finished colored sketch for @corvarrow.bsky.social! [ #Art #FurryArt ]

Occasionally I remember this platform exists, lol. Not too much going on with me, just been working on art for an eventual website project these last few months. Couple more pieces to go and I will be freeee to finally build it

#IronArtist commission for @corvarrow.bsky.social! I don't know if an automaton needs to preen, but I thought it was a fun idea. Iron August special: l-james.com/iron-august/ #Furry #FurryCommissions #ArtCommissions #CommissionsOpen #BskyArt #ArtistsOnBsky

So like, artists, this is super helpful. You buy it once and then you can just use it forever. Also IT INCLUDES A PART ABOUT AI USAGE AND AI TRAINING which you *definitely* want to protect yourself against. I can't scream it loud enough – YOU WANT THIS TEMPLATE. #Art #ArtResources #Artist

An emoji challenge thing I participated in! There were 4 different emoji sets we were supposed pick from ~ I picked 🪽🌹🪐 (wings, rose, + ringed planet) and decided to do a themed peryton! ---- #SketchbookArt #Peryton #MythicalCreature #Deer #Art #Wings #DeerArt #InkArt #WingedDeer #FantasyArt

Also thank you to whatever channel is continually airing The Day After Tomorrow, my apparent go-to background noise for projects when I'm not motivated enough to pick something else

Started painting a windstone dragon I got for my birthday last year (I'll take pictures if it turns out nice) but I'm using a wet palette for the first time and omg. why haven't I used these sooner

Perpetually forgetting to post here - my new paint water jars! The originals were plastic powder drink tubs. I redrew them and had one-off mugs printed. Very happy with them! What do I even tag these though lol #Art #PaintWater #PaintJars #ArtistThings #CustomMugs

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Hi everyone, I'd like you to meet Seto! He's the newest of the Sweet Pea hoarde to join. I just love his two-toned eyes! Thank you so much to my customer for helping bring him to life:) If you'd like to join the Sweet Pea dragon crew with your very own custom dragon, get in touch! 🐲✂️🖌

Waiting to see how my current project will turn out but in the meantime thought I'd share these Bloodborne coasters I made myself a few years ago #Art #Bloodborne #Crafting #FanArt #CaryllRunes

Something a little different, didn't know what to draw on the 1st page of my new sketchbook so I tested out some Grabie acrylic brush markers. Featuring: Sigilyph, just because I haven't drawn a pokemon in 500 years #Art #Pokemon #Fanart #SketchbookArt #Sigilyph #PokemonArt

My wish for everyone in 2025 is that all creators can purge the word "content" from their lexicon you're not making content my friend you are making vlogs, webcomics, sculpture, paintings, crafts, zines, music, etc etc just tell people what you make

Thirsty

First art in 2025, hope there will be much more (⁠*⁠ﾉ⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♫

A couple of maps I put together for my worldbuilding. There are more map variations and waaay more details on my tumblr (see link in my attached post), but it's a world that had 1 plane of existence split into 3 and stack on top of each other. #Art #Maps #Worldbuilding #FantasyArt #FantasyMap

Bird study from the other day. The references were from Pexels; I'm a little skeptical of the specific finch name but I do think it is a finch of /some/ kind. Other than that, I like how these came out. C: #Art #SketchbookArt #sketches #ArtStudy #Birds #BirdArt #Finch #Robin

My favorite cat photo lately 🤣 My best girl sitting politely in the sink #cats #CatsOfBluesky #TuxedoCat

did not have OFF mortis ghost making a resurgence on my 2025 bingo card but i am here for it

SALMON. I just think they're neat. #art #SketchbookArt #FishArt #Salmon #SockeyeSalmon #sketches (Working on a couple things I can't post yet while still trying to finish this sketchbook in the next 2 weeks)

It's finally done! 🤍✨ I've tagged and archived ALL 670+ of our free pose references! These are the references you see me post to socials, including our Pinterest. This library will be updated each pack launch, and more filters will be added. It's just a little library for now, but she'll grow.

King of Swords -- Griffin -- Persian Mythology From the Tarot of the Divine #tarot #art

Sketchbook page of one of my older characters, Shiva. She is a robot dog and has a couple different designs that I've drawn at random but I think this one is pretty cute C: #art #sketches #SketchbookArt #FurryArt #Anthro #OCArt

Sketchbook page of Sybil from Pseudoregalia, done right after I beat it. It's very short, you can definitely finish it in a weekend, but it's super fun! Kind of Mario 64 type movement + Metroidvania type exploration #Art #Fanart #sketches #SketchbookArt #Sketchbook #Pseudoregalia #FurryArt #Anthro

Ref Sheet done! Easy peasy. Nybrieth is a pretty old character, but she's been redesigned a lot and I never made an actual reference before now #art #dragon #RefSheet #OCArt #oc #DigitalArt #procreate #DragonArt

Should have a new ref to post sometime tonight or tomorrow. This one was so simple it was refreshing 🤣 I want to upload some older stuff here too at some point, but I haven't mustered the Strength yet

Got a couple of my OCs printed as #heroforge minis since there's a sale going on right now. Here's one of them - they turned out soooo nice!! Great packaging as well. Probably not going to get around to painting them until after the holidays so at least they'll be nice and safe til then.

I notice that everyone on YouTube calls a sketchbook that doesn't have pretty finished art in it the "ugly sketchbook", when that's just a regular sketchbook being what it needs to be lol. Petition to call the ones with perfect illustrations the "coffee table sketchbook" instead

A thread of useful tools & posts for ARTISTS, which can help you get the most out of Bsky and protect your space here. I'll be updating this as I find more, so if you know of anything I haven't included, please let me know! Reposts are very welcome so more people know! [ #helpfulbskypost ]
