A little bit more progress today

I was having problems with lighting. If I could have started a little earlier.. oh well. It's that time of the year 🍁🍂

Last Lines Tag

I was tagged by @makkuromurasaki ,whose art is so rad, it blows my mind. Thank you 💚

Rules: Write the latest line from each of your wips (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are wips you are working on.

Whelp... I only have the one fanfic so... from what will be my last chapter of Wraith in the Ruins, The Living End:

Hancock didn't even hesitate.

😅 Anymore and I'd give too much away, but that really is the last line I wrote this morning.

As far as art wips; whooooo boy I've bunches. Most of which are literal lines and circles and aren't worth showing, but here are some with substance:

A big mixed-media piece I'm doing with Oswald the Outrageous from Fallout 4

Ghoul Fan A from the same piece. I'm going to have a couple of these folks that will be more detailed and stand out from the crowd.

Bird 1 of 2 from my Duality of Man green heron piece.

A piece I'm doing for my buddy that's going to be called Babe in the Woods

As always, no pressure to the tagged: @its-sixxers @so-i-did-this-thing @lookbluesoup @thenightmotherwrites @robobrainmurdermysterytheatre

And literally anyone else who would like to share. @ me and everything😁👍

Thanks again for tagging me!

Working on the second bird for my Duality of Man piece

The neck has been redacted. Repeat. The neck has been redacted!

I finished the two American goldfinches, Sunny and Olive, today!

All's good above the vine

[boarix-draws]

All the songbirds have found their way to the vine, though some took different paths to get there.

You can be assured, most are chirping all at once and making a delightful cacophony

Bonus:

Next is color!

[boarix-draws]

Colors have been chosen!

The final two birds for my Road Less Traveled piece.

Is this a Tufted titmouse, or a chocolate kiss?

[boarix-draws]

Finished the templates for the 2 Black-capped chickadees today

Though are lacking in neck they make up for it in overall cuteness 🤗

[boarix-draws]

Lady finch template is done!

[boarix-draws]

Template 1 of... 3(?) of the American goldfinches is done. This lil feller will be part of my large compilation piece that has the nuthatch as the focus. I'll have a couple of lads and at least one lady finch, along with some Tufted titmice and Black-capped chickadees.

[boarix-draws]

Template for my White-brested Nuthatch is done! This bird will be part of a larger piece that'll include American goldfinch, Black-capped chickadees and other birds yet to be determined (maybe a Northern cardinal?)

Something, something the road less traveled...
