ok bad news I lost my job but good news maybe more art. Because no job.

Kind of too stressed and busy to draw, this year is crazy. I'll get back to it as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience!

Happy New Yearrr! 🥳

It me. It's my avatar, drawn this year! Not an art card but would fit on one. I came up with my username first, and then thought, hm, an orange (butternut soup is orange) cat inside a bread bowl, cute and small and something that'll fit in the avatar box.

This was probably an early 2023 card but I'm pretty intensely happy with this one. It's cute, and I like the colors and comp.

This is the second King Salmonid card I've done, the first being a Cohozuna that I've already posted. I still haven't drawn a Megalodontia (but when I do it'll likely look just a bit more like the concept art.) Horrorboros is cool and I TRIED to capture the iridescence of the scales, didn't quite get there, but I like it. I really like this one, drew it in the past year or so.

Pokemon Legends Arceus was THE most fun I think I've had with a Pokemon game in a loooong time (I've been playing since Gen I). So this is one of two PLA cards I've done, and I genuinely need to do more. Hisuian Zoroark is pretty sick, I like it way more than the original one (sorry original one, I do love Unova, but). I like the almost painterly style the night sky has in PLA and I tried to do something to catch that feeling in both this and my Warden Ingo cards.

I love Salmon Run SO MUCH, you have no idea. I was a day-one Eggsecutive VP in Splatoon 3 easily. I barely get to play but doing art of it makes up for it! Sort of! The player you see is quite small irl since this is an art card. :) I wish the ink on the ground was better, lmao, but I love the rest of it.

[butternuts00p]

Relatively new card, Bowser, drawn and colored either late last year or early this year, I'm pretty sure. The IRL picture has a warmer tone, my scanner seems to give everything a slightly blue-er or green-er tone. The yellow is more yellow, so I should adjust it, but I have not! Close enough! :)

For whatever reason this is saved on my computer as Miraidon. Good job! Koraidon card from probably late 2022, more likely early 2023.

[butternuts00p]

This one is not very new at all, but! I still REALLY love this one! I love the colors, the shading, the linework, comp, and overall even the background, especially for the time period I did it. Which was........between 2017 and 2019 I'm pretty sure. 2020 at the latest? I need to make sure the dates are on all my new cards' backs, lmao.

[butternuts00p]

Dave Goelz and Gonzo, drawn in early 2022 I'm pretty sure. This is another where more ambitious shading would've been good in a couple of places, but also it's got the photo studio vibe (father and zany son) and that's more or less what I was going for, so! It works. :) Art cards are fun, putting more than one subject on them is a little tricky.

[butternuts00p]

This card was drawn probably 2020 or earlier but I didn't actually get around to coloring it until probably 2022.

carbinks are reaaaaaaally cute but I can't help but think, hm, yes, that fur is definitely asbestos.

[butternuts00p]

I really like the background of this one (especially in person, stuff always looks better in person) but the Umbreon is not quite right. I'm not 100% good with animals yet! But I still like this card. :) Drew it 2023, I'm pre~tty sure.

[butternuts00p]

Drew this one probably 2022? Colored I think 2023.

One thing I wanna do in the coming years is really try to learn how to do more ambitious shading. That would've been good here. But I still really like this one. :)

Emmet Otter from Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas (which I just did my yearly watch today, thank you! Love that movie.) If you haven't seen it yet I recommend it. Cute with a lot of heart, and the famous Paul Williams did the songs (in Muppet work he's known best for A Muppet Christmas Carol and The Muppet Movie.) I drew this in probably late 2021.

[butternuts00p]

Chopper with ice cream, drawn and colored like, uh, about...a year and a half ago? Maybe two? In any case I do actually have stickers of this made! Whoa! I haven't SOLD the stickers, but I do have them. They're about 1.5", I think. I do not have an online store, I was GOING to try to do local art/craft fairs, but...I haven't had time, oops.

And yeah I am bad at getting rid of the last little artifacts when making it transparent, but you can't tell in the final sticker since it has an even white border.
