Drawing plants around me from life~

I recently bought a bunch of gouache and watercolor brushes for Procreate, and this was a fun opportunity to test them!

I used real watercolors and gouache a ton years ago, and this the first time I've found digital brushes meant to replicate them that feel natural to use. Modern brush makers are really next-level~

Reminiscing about my Girafarig crossbreeds and Stantler splices inspired me to do another crossbreed set, this time Ponyta and Rapidash! Mostly just an excuse to draw Weird Horses lol. Which is your favorite?

also y'all I've tried so many times to write fanfiction and the stories I work on get so unhinged it's not even fan content anymore. Why did my yugioh fic become a novella about sad gay track athletes being persecuted at a catholic high school in the 90s. There aren't even any card games. I tried to rectify this and my next fic turned into trauma surgeons playing recreational baseball. I don't watch baseball. Somebody let these poor boys play card games.

Anyway I ended up with werewolf story about colonialism that I'm never finishing so I guess you can look forward to some gay sports stories vaguely based on yugioh coming out in 2024

Hey all, I've been off social media for a couple years but I am in fact fine and doing well. Mostly I've been working, but lately trying to make time for art. I did some illustrations for a story I'm writing and just finished a commission, so progress. When I get back from vacation I'd like to start posting art again.

Anyway this is the kind of stuff I've been up to

ancient Evil Sealers TM? idk have it anyway

If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.

I’m trying to play botw without looking up stuff for it. I don’t really know how many hearts it takes to get the master sword. It definitely takes more than I have…

A human figure? In one of MY quickpaints? It’s more likely than you think. References are from Lotr filming locations in NZ.

I’m getting close to the end of my BOTW adventures, it is making me reflect and giving me feelings I didn’t expect.

Oh whoops! That's supposed to be her leg, lol

I imagined his arm was in his lap or still bracing his shield. (Link's pose was simplified after the initial sketch)

Sometimes you just try to make a tender painting and then Perspective
