vega my best friend vega

#my art #oc #vega #anthro #furry #cat #i LOVE you old women i love you cranky washed up irreverent deeply unhappy old women with issues #i downloaded a new brush pack (thank you thedawner) and i finally have what is known as a ''noise brush'' - we are so back #rendering is soooooooo difficult for me. shading. texturing. etcetera #but i'm carrying on regardless and this brush helps #through death of self belief. and torrents of bad practice and neglect of studies at an early age #the self-improvement in art comes to you direct regardless. no amount of procrastination can keep it down #anyway i'm trying to make some better refs for my characters (kind of. as close to ref sheets as i can make anyway) #and this will be part of one #vega has always been a bit elusive for me to draw for whatever reason but i'm pleased with this vega face

been doodling some bri'ish wildlife - love seeing these guys. because they are the classics aren't they?

#my art #animal art #illustration #''love seeing these guys'' has only ever seen 6 of them #as if the elusive dormouse would ever grace my presence. and i still doubt the existence of snakes in england #drew the fox and pheasant because they're symbolic for two of my silly ocs then was like why not make a whole page of these suckers #lots of fun! if anyone's interested i'm gonna open up some slots to draw animals like this on kofi or something soon #can be pets etc. ocs too maybe but they'll be more expensive. not sure how much i'll charge for them but we shall see #lots of art to come...........i swear on it...........i'm about to go for a walk and maybe i will finally see a grass snake #(it's raining so this will not happen) #animals: ring necked pheasant. grass snake. european badger. red fox. barbastelle bat. mole. red squirrel. hazel dormouse. and hedgehawg #i had to compress this to hell it's so large #i need to take like a base photoshop class to learn how to actually use it cause the size of my files is actualy getting ridiculous #if i didn't compress this it would be 30 mb. this cannot be normal

challenging myself by engaging in the ancient art known as "dynamic poses", but making it harder on myself by ignoring the noble practice of "using references"

#my art #oc #florawell #belvedere #goblin #dragon #i prefer the wips i posted to my sketch blog tbh they look better than the finished thing. but nevertheless. #i also accidentally gave belvedere furry hands this time instead of his usual bald goblin hands #i think it makes him look sleeker but i prefer his ratty hands. we live and learn #fun fact i have around 20 ongoing projects which i have been workin on simultaneously which has resulted in me not getting much done #but now they're all nearing completion at once so you'll see a bunch of art from me soon maybe #when i open comms (VERY SOON.....big things coming....) i'm considering tacking on an extra option for sketches like these #cause i can do them for relatively cheap without spending hours working for peanuts #anyway. i'm seeing a horror movie yet again tonight. immaculate was surprisingly good so let's see if this one is good

thank you for the birthday wishes and thank you very very very much for 5000 followers!! wow!! i hit this around a month ago i think, but it's a big number and i want to once again say I appreciate everyone for all the support <:'^)

i'll try not to write a mini essay and wax poetical, but it's coming up on three years since i started this blog after years of putting it off and i'm so glad i did. thank you for following and for all the nice comments you leave, it makes me super happy......much love. muah. MUAH

#my art #oc #midge #i get extremely down about my art sometimes cause as with 90% of artists i think i'm never gonna be good enough #and i do want to write and illustrate my own stories/comics/kid's books some day so it's easy to get into a pit of woe #and i know social media numbers really don't mean everything but it does give me a confidence boost that SOME people like my art

#my art #oc #midge #midge has been reborn on this holy day after a one year drought of midge drawings. kind of like jesus #i don't draw midge enough (says this about 70% of ocs) #there's not enough hours in the day to spend drawing my funny guys #you should dedicate every modicum of free time to the creation and realisation of ocs. always remember this #i didn't like last year's midge drawing but i like this one so all is well in the world #having a chill birfday this year. had a nice lunch (honey hot chicken burger mmmmmm i love hot honey mmmmmmm) #imp #fairy

art trade from twitter!! funky guy comin through

#my art #oc #furry #anthro #this thing is cool as hell. thumbs up #twitter is so much more nervewracking than tumblr i was scared to even open up trades #tumblr is like sharing things in the shelter of a bush or something and posting on twitter is like being naked in the middle of a desert #anything could come and kill me #anyway i'm gonna go assemble my tea which consists of a marinated chicken salad in case any one cares (everyone)

funny scrumpy gif

funny scrumpy, lovable I love funny scrumpy. funny scrumpy. funny funny funny scrumpy, look at the scrumpy. scrumpy smile. smile scrumpy

#ask #anon #u get me anon…..funny monkey gif lives in my heart and soul forever #I hope to god this is what you’re referencing actually otherwise I look insane #this is the closest to a face reveal that chalkrub incorporated will ever give - blurry 2 second gif that exposes my sock

nonono i love his randomly shaped antlers they fit his vibe perfectly. chaotic kind of man. Welcome To My Twisted Antlers

you are of course right, i should just commit to it and make them even gnarlier. it's an artistic choice and not a consequence of me being too lazy to figure out antlers.

#my art #ask #anon #oc #murdoch #this has been in my inbox for ages i'm sorry. i drew this and was like no i can't post this....his face is messed up #but now i don't care because i like Welcome to My Twisted Antlers too much to not post a reply #i'm not posting much for whatever reason but i am making a lotta art #i tried woodburning recently so i'll take some decent pictures and post that at some point

Just so you know, tumblr is currently using art for AI training and the only way to stop them is to go into your settings and turn it off 'third party sharing' manually (on each of your blogs)

i've done it already ty! i doubt it'll do anything, but whatever. i've already resigned myself to my art being stolen by ai - it is what it is

maybe i can destroy ai scraping singlehandedly by only posting my drunk ms paint trackpad drawings from now on

train off THIS, assholes

#ask #anon #i don't really have anything to say about ai art that hasn't already been said #but it sucks being passionate about something that's so undervalued and looked down on and openly mocked #(i say as i mock my own art in the above post) #oc #hrl
