This is a bit of a lead-up to my next big project (for my educational instagram account) on domestic animals, but I felt it would be a good standalone post. After doing a bit of petting zoo work I’ve realized many people have misconceptions over what makes a goat a goat and what makes a sheep a sheep.
Hint: it’s not the horns or the wool or the beard!
The Hermit's Return
Descending with the dawn from his alpine hut, this reclusive goat’s return to town marks the beginning of solstice celebrations for the court of Winter.
–
Inspired by sunlight glistening off snowy boughs, the majesty of dawn in the mountains, and by the jewel-like fruit of evergreens.
Painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Accented with gold ink.
The artwork is framed in cream and gold.

This is Raimen. It is very wild and untamed. It's part of this survival fantasy game that I've had in my head for a long time, but Idk how to make a functional game, so I can't.

This was supposed to be finished by Halloween...oops. Wanted to highlight the strange and surreal; the vice-like grip of obsession and the weight of internal contention. The dichotomy present in such...a crazed euphoria whilst it liquifies one from the inside out.
