I'm planning on entering the NYC Short Story Challenge, which is accepting registration until January 23! It looks like a neat event and comes with access to a good quality writer's forum. nycmidnight.com/ssc

I haven't been very active lately! But have been busy working on some things behind the scenes, which should be fun for the next art show; November 22nd at the Jingle & Mingle Craft Show at the Alpena Boys & Girls Club. (1/3)

When I worked at Wally-world I was shoehorned into working register for a brief stint, probably not long before I left. There was one person I met very briefly during that time that immediately piqued my curiosity and I kinda wish I had more opportunity to chat but he seemed like he was busy. (1/2)

Some work on textures and color vibration.

Some random critter sketches

Standing here.... Sometimes, I forget Bitsy is capable of seriously maiming you if she wants to.

I was looking through my DA gallery not too long ago and saw a rendition of Asriel that sparked a need to redo or at least reapply some creativity to the character. It's been awhile since I've played #Undertale but the music still gets me.

Trying something a bit unconventional, working out designs for a character. I'd like to sculpt said character eventually, and have some materials that would be incorporated, so I painted them in roughly to scale on a photo reference.

I had the opportunity to make some cinnamon rolls with someone near and dear to me recently, and it got me thinking that it's been awhile since I've done some still life painting.

It's my bday! I guess it's tradition so if you'd like to share these favorite pieces of mine feel free :)

First artfight attack of 2025! "Bee" for Duckadoodle artfight.net/~Duckadoodle #artfight #artfightattack #orca #digitalpaint

So I've recently discovered the absolute chaos of Legends of Avantris (@avantris.bsky.social) shorts.

Literally me🥲 sorry friends

One of the longest and most complex scenes I've done to date, this painting has finally been finished! Sponsored by my good friend @okapi.tattoo This piece is inspired by the works of @jasonrainville.bsky.social and @sketchylogic.bsky.social (1/7)

Something a bit different. #foxart #foxes #digitalart #rebelleart

Returning later than anticipated with an update. Our unnamed Mongoose has undergone some changes but I landed on something that worked and went with it! The combination of different entries was a challenge, but a fun one! There may be further development, but today seems like a fitting day to share

A doodle for someone close to my heart. ^^

Progress has been slow between other things, but I got a little bit of preliminary painting done today.

A simplified look at our Mongoose! They'll likely look a fair bit different once I get into line art and painting, but it's a start. (From another Let's Make An OC on social media)

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. In this case, ❄️"A Cold Journey"❄️ is probably the one! I ought to try some more in this vein of work. (But I say that about a lot of different things.) #artsharing #art #winter #anthroart

"Let's Make an OC!" painting made with Clip Studio Paint. Thanks to the contributions of: @sunny-pup.bsky.social @shiashnaky.bsky.social You two are awesome! Thank you for the team effort in the comments. :) #anthroart #letsmakeanoc #makeanoc #originalart #furryart

An update on "Let's Make an OC"! I'm a little late with this, but it's taken me a bit to come up with a design I think would work. The hair in particular has been a learning experience, and I'm not entirely sure if it works or not - but it's all an iterative process! #anthroart #digitalpaint #wip

Trying to break out of the usual angles. I've had a building sense of stagnation around the ways I portray my characters and the lack of environmental influence thereof. Maybe just getting in my own head, but hopefully there will be some more interesting stuff soon. #rabbitart #anthroart #holt5art

I'm curious what you'd come up with! I'll see if I can bring 'em to life if there's enough info to go by.

Cover art I did for the first book of "Last of The Wild Days", by Daniel Loney.

Going to try something different today! I'll be attempting an hour-long live paint session from 12:00 - 1:00 PM! Maybe longer - will see. Feel free to join for a bit & throw some music on! magma.com/d/div6jdp86x

Some rabbit chain-posting! (Feel free to add)

Some loose pastel work from awhile back. I've still got plenty of small & medium prints of this one available, and now possible to buy through a little shop online: holt5-art.square.site #foxart #pastelart #furryart #holt5art

Kinda lost track of Inktober over the weekend! "Remote" really brought nothing interesting to mind, so a random goat instead. #inktober2024 #goatart #holt5art
