Comics - Xander and Famke

Continuing with showing some older art. This one featuring two FF12 OCs, Xander and Famke. I dont think I've uploaded this before, and probably because I was too shy at the time. This was done for ...

Turak the Bone Collector

Those who know my mass effect OCs might recognize Turak's name. I've been wanting to design my krogan into various races in the zelda universe and I thought a rito would suit Turak well. I went wit...

Baby's first role play chat

I met a friend via Yahoo! Clubs back when that still existed which at the time were basically mini forums and a chat room. I just got my own computer and internet access and Ive been reading every ...

Wanna see some old stuff?

When Im in an art funk I look through old works. Years ago it used to make me cringe with the whole "oh god it was awful" but now it makes me happy. There was a degree of "devil may care" attitude ...

Overload

A little bit of vent art but, I dont know how to explain it other than it's just something that needs to happen

Cat Shenanigans

Last week I was making lunch after doing some work, and one of my cats was at my feet begging for some treats. I wasnt watching where he was exactly, but as soon as my foot stepped on a cat toy my ...

A few goals met, and some rambles

Let's get the rambling out!

There's so many things happening in my personal life, but thankfully nothing really horrible (they do suck), just small things that seem like they're piling up. An...

September here we go!

This month started a little rough for me. My partner and I had to take a trip with his family to see more family and it was a stressful time for all, but we pulled through together ✊

Tales of Hyrule - Chapters 7 and 8

With both chapters out now it felt like a good time to post my pieces done for our chapters along with the sketches! These last two chapters have been awesome because Werewolfsister joined Dwickery...

The shenanigans continue!

More drawings I did for my zorca blog, having fun with story threads and spoiling myself by drawing my characters. Doing story/RP threads on my blog was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Which i...

Shrimp Heaven

This was a little unhinged story Dwickery came up with and I wanted to illustrate it and make a post on my tides blog. He and I were talking over dinner one time about a completely unrelated topic ...

Paprika - Spicy and Sweet

Maybe a little nsfw cuz of the pick up line but other than that >> <<

Stuff in the works

Here are a few things I'm working on regarding my Tide's blog. Some of these will pop up or already have appeared on the queue I set up there. I mentioned in a previous post about doing things for ...

Im slowly working on character bios to post on my Tides blog. It's slow going because writing takes me a long time to do, and I get hung up with wanting to make new art for information posts like t...

Paprika - The Shark and the Wolf

Sharing these with Chaotic-Zora's permission! A while ago I came to them with the idea that their OC, Thresh, and my Finn...

Paprika (sorta?) - If looks could kill

I'D BE DEAAAAAAAD

This started out as sketch practice with Fat Fin and doing expressions for fun. I liked one of them a lot and decided to ink it digitally and it came out wa...

Paprika - More pin ups!

In between everything, I was taking time to indulge myself with more Fat Fin pieces. A friend also suggested Lurona pinups! I want to do more pencil sketches because I like the texture of it but I ...

Tales from Hyrule: Chapters 5 & 6

Been busy the last few days drawing and personal life wise. The month is coming to a close and despite doing my fair share of doodles Im feeling a little scatter brained! Last week my partner and I...

Sketches - tumblr shenanigans

When receiving asks on tumblr its fun to answer with drawings. There were a few times when I opened requests and I was pleased with the response! I want to try that here as well. Have a set time wh...

Sketches and small updates

Happy July...or as happy as you can be. The beginning started off really rough, and I kind of crashed out after a weekend outing with family. While it was a nice distraction from everything 2025-07-08 18:28:46 +0000 UTC View Post
