another webfishing screenshot redrawn with artistic liberties in rebelle 5.
i've been having fun figuring out what 'works' and what doesn't in rebelle; some of the brushes are too "noisy", or textur... |

referenced a photograph of an area i used to LARP in with a friend. it was probably one of the few parts of my middle-school life where i was happy. the highland pinyon tree is not a very photogenic p... |

getting used to this new cheap-paper-quality sketchbook; it sucks for dark colors and sharp pencil tips, but it does feel nice to color with using duller pencil tips. i had fun brainstorming this pie... |
| my wish | |
| |
a larger test of the new sketchbook. the paper is kind of cheap and has a waxy feel to it, which can be fun to color on but not so much to layer on. i found myself poking a hole or two from overworki... |

i did a couple drafts of this before i got to this point. i did some of the coloring digitally for toby here because... drum roll... my inks arent waterproof. i was SO MADDDDDDD at finding this out b... |

inspired by early morning california road trips i took as a child to visit relatives. i was always so awed by the towering hills on either side of us as we navigated into valleyways. i used to imagin... |

for my friend's birthday ^_^ i have drawn her fursona before - i helped her design this one! - but i wanted to draw her again for her birthday. i decided to take some inspiration from one of the 'EXI... |

this was a heavily edited mixed media piece. originally it was just watercolor but the colors washed out the lines really really bad style. so i salvaged the lines somewhat in csp and used some water... |

scrabbling around with rake brushes; there used to be the word 'run.' written on the tail of each silhouette, but i ended up deciding against it. i also initially had the foxes be pure black, but it... |

| scraps of glass | |

i have lately become more obsessed with this border between glass and texture. i have always been enamored with fogged glass, both artificially fogged and organically.

another watercolor painting of my yard with some border touchups in clip studio. not much i want to say about it, but i think i did a nice job with the variety of greens i managed to make here. i alm... |

i wanna take more photos for edits like this. maybe when the weather gets nicer. i enjoyed how this one came out a lot.... |

another edit of a photo of a cutout. i took this photo spur-of-the-moment; my yard has a lot of strange 'yard art' or 'redneck sculpture' in it, and that includes this strange rusted metal wheel fram... |

| the embrace, part ii | |
| |
in truth, it was another take on part 1. i like this one because i feel like it's gentler, and so i interpreted it as 'part 2' in the end. it feels sort of like a reflection of how my own relationship... |

one of my first pieces where i was still struggling with gripping the pastels well, and figuring out how to feel for the hardest edges on the ends.... |

this was, i think, a first draft or first pass of my chroma's key piece. however, the odd tilt of the frame and general bad placement made it hard to photograph without my camera leaving a shadow, an... |

experimenting w/ oil pastels, it's very rewarding and feels kind of youthful or unrefined in a fun way... |

therianism is a very dear thing to me. it is a very immutable aspect of who i am and who i ever was. if you took off my human self youd be left with a weird dog. you know?
