Festival Fox

I’ve been moving into a new place, which has been sort of interrupting everything else but is otherwise really good for my personal wellbeing. And now I’m finally able to share this Juno scene!...

Most of what I sketch doesn't go anywhere. It's just getting out ideas and accumulated that much-desired "mileage". But this page ended up b

Bastetodon

A few weeks ago, a research article described a new genus of prehistoric mammal -- Bastetodon. The name was enough to get my attention, and yes, it honors Bastet herself. Fitting enough, s...

While the last set of sketches was a little more moody, here's a more positive tonal shift. Top center is a color thumbnail I worked out for a trade with Luthien Nightwolf, whose work has br...

Skunk Shaman

If you have questions, she just may have the answers.

While working on concept sketches for the bear shaman who’s shown up in a few pieces a while back, I wanted to explore other healing/me...

Studies for “January” take up the bulk of the page, wherein Juno consoles her friend Petra, who’s going...

Kimber

Every once in a while I gravitate back toward macropods for some reason that probably has to do with their big ears, big feet, and meaty tails. This time I can sort of pin 2025-01-14 22:12:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Scribbles (deer, fox, and noodles)

Even though I do the bulk of my sketching digitally, I also take a physical sketchbook pretty much everywhere I go. Including coffee shops.

I used to do all my work in paper sketchbooks, what...

Winter Fluff

The temperatures have plummeted and reindeer are showing up everywhere. Not that you'll hear me complaining about it. Lucky them, to have so much natural fluff they need scant else to keep warm. Ju...

Sketchbook (PAGE 7)

Sketches from several Decembers ago. And there's a few different things were going on here... Kalahari visiting a bear shaman, a weasel in a bind, and a rare masked palm civet. This is also where I...

Taking a Rest

The caress of the breeze, the tickle of grass, and just enough peace to let your mind wander.

Sea Otter

She never wanders too far from the coast. The salt in the air is too comforting, and the quality of the shellfish doesn't improve much.

Someone in my life had a real affinity for sea otters, ...

Sketchbook (PAGE 6)

Here's a much more recent peek into what I've been sketching behind the scenes. Plenty of Juno, making faces and getting into various sorts of trouble. There's even the linework for a sticker desig...

Sketchbook (PAGE 5)

A bunch of unstructured dicking around mostly -- but really, that's pretty much the usual. The concept sketches for "B...

Naturist District

Another exploration of the naturist district that's shown up a couple times before ("Open Air Market" and 2024-09-25 22:04:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Art Batch (2023)

Yeah, posting the compiled collection of last year's artwork in August makes me look like a total procrastinator. As I've hinted in previous posts, I've been doing a lot more unfinished sketching o...

Petra the civet kinda steals the show here. I was still exploring her as a character and trying to get inside her head. We have the initial sketches for 2024-08-07 21:27:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Hyaenodon Mom

POV: you wake up in the Eocene.

Age of the Hunter

On the windswept plains of the Eocene you might find a Hyaenodon surveying the undisturbed wilderness. Her life is a daily balance between brute force and meditative precision, all in service...

Sketchbook (PAGE 2)

Plenty more Junos, with Brandy the porcupine showing up too. And some mouse bomber. Besides all the random doodling, I worked out the beginnings of 2024-06-25 23:36:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Morning Stretch

It's another morning at the weekend naturist festival, and Juno has to get her stretches in before a day of running around naked.

No surprise Juno shows up again wearing nothing but her bare ...

Kipper Fishing

Several years ago, when I was just getting acquainted with digital art, I drew this piece featuring an otter comin...

Another peek into my digital sketchbook, and Juno steals the show in this one. Mix that with some vibrant color studies and I had the beginnings of 2024-02-28 01:54:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Sketch page (April 26, 2017)

Almost none of my digital sketches were created with the intent of anyone else laying eyes on them, so they can end up looking rough. Still, I've had a number of suggestions over t...

Catch of the Day

For an otter, there is no better way to slay a salmon.

Wherever the new year finds you, I wish you a kind and generous one. Even when turbulence and uncertainty are the order of th...

Magic Is Easy

Juno being a little fire fox.

I'll never be able to play with fire unless I get more practice in with the sock poi. I'd love to get a 4-beat fountain down but I keep hitting ...

Raindrops

Just when she sat down for a break, she has her game rudely interrupted by an approaching afternoon shower. Maybe there's just enough time to make it to cover and wait it out.

I saw some yell...
