MLDrackal- Icon commission
Here's the full res download for this commission! It was fun to play with colors while shading this!
The Wild Within
(Here’s to hoping that transparencies work with this upload!)..remember to let loose and just create whenever possible. —Here’s a fun little symmetrical wolf creature that I made to play with shape and color a bit! I’ve included two versions, one with significantly more color play. I’m also testing out a new harder pixel brush with less aliasing for a sharper look. It was a fun creative experiment between commissions!
Jasiri- Heheheh (Patron Appreciation Gift)
Here's the first of this round of patron appreciation gifts I'm hosting over on our discord!And, what a fun kickoff image!<3I really enjoyed working on this for this rad Chee!
RAGE- a gif test! (Photosensitivity Warning)
Hey everyone! This was a really fun little project I’d like to share with you all! I used a fun animation tool that made things “shaky” and complained it with some glitches to make a RAGE DOGFeel free to use this for any personal projects, avatars or anything!(WARNING: files are somewhat large)
Tiger Freebie!
I made a quick little symmetrical tiger icon/emoji/thingie!Feel free to use this for personal icons/emoji/pretty much anything thats non-commercial. (personal use only, just credit me!)
GHOST
My late night muse took over for me again!This is all posca pens (bullet style tips) and black ink. No sketching, just going at it with no true aim. This changed, evolved and grew on its own as I just freely created. I particularly got interested in how the harder texture of these bullet tipped posca pens actually caught the fibers of the paper, and caused a flicked paint sorta texture as I was working. I really wanted to lean onto this, and gene...
Golden Hour
A (very late) bday gift for Hellinois!All of my art is a bit slow at the moment but I’ve been working on this as I can over the last few months! This is Sin, for Hellinois!
Hello everyone! I’m looking for SUGGESTIONS!

Let me know!What would you like me to work on immediately next?! Please comment here or in discord with your ideas!
2016/17 initial Levi concepts!- Recovered
This is super cool! I found some one the first concept sketches as well as the uncompressed first ref I ever made of this chara! I’m always happy when I can recover old art and accessing an old chat dug up a bunch of goodies from the end of 2016-early 2017! And, this is also a great time to say that I’m finally working on a new ref for this OC which I’ll be sharing in discord later today! It’s still in a WiP stage but I’m excited to fin...
Let the Color Out
I RECOVERED SOME VERY OLD ART I THOUGHT I LOST!I’m so thankful to find this piece again (in full quality even!) so I wanted to share it here so it will never become lost again. This was a highly experimental piece from around 2015 and I feel like it was a sort of precursor for where my art was going to go naturally over the years. I still really enjoy this piece but I wish the composition was a bit different. I’m considering doing some edits ...
Ancestral Spirit
Spooky art, a month late!Truthfully, I wasn't sure what to do with this one til today..This pic was a ton of fun and a lot of experimentation! I used procreate, aseprite and clip studio paint for this!It started as just black and white, just working with negative space and texture. I then put it in aseprite for the dithered gradient to give it some depth. I then went into CSP and added shading and highlights with halftone brushes.It reminds s...
Fakemon- Growlbeast
A little while back I did this little AI twitter game where you make an AI make a Fake Pokemon based off your username (https://twitter.com/Growlbeast/status/1574805813146910722)and I kind of fell in love with the little bugger I got! I had to draw it immediately: (https://twitter.com/Growlbeast/status/1574823555203833857)I felt like it seemed like dark/ground type and I really wanted to make something more detailed for it! I think, eventually I&...
Werewolf Quinn Badge!
I haven’t made a badge in AGES! This was a fun practice on something I’d like to offer in the future to patrons for commission! Something more heavily detailed like this takes a ton of extra time! This also allowed me to feel out how I’d like to make more simple shaded badges if I do a public badge commission opening for a con! I hope some con themes in the coming year will be exciting again! I truly miss the creativity behind the original ...
HAPPY SPOOKYMONTH!
I hope to have some treats for you all available soon!For now, have a spookyscarywoof! --Small heads up, I'm planning a special halloween livestream (like I typically have done!) but I will be on picarto (likely, not sure 100% on that) so I don't have to worry about content ratings as much!
Growlbeast- FakeMon
Growlbeast Dark/Ground This pokemon lives in dark caves during the day and emerges to hunt at night. It's strong claws can dig new dens in a matter of minutes.--There was an AI that makes fake pokemon circulating on twitter and a challenge to enter your username to see your generated fake pokemon and I got THE CUTEST FUNNY LITTLE GUY! I HAD to draw it! I also wanted to emulate Ken Sugimori's art a bit <3here's the original tweet with ...

Stink creature!!
Sometimes you just gotta draw a ClassicGrowl!I still am very fond of this character, and after several years (I think around 5??) I’m considering going back to this design as my sona. Maybe the solution to all of my searching over these years is just to give some fresh life into what worked for me before. I want to make some small changes to her, some of which are seen in this pic! I hope to eventually make a new ref too cause I feel like that ...
Patron gift stream icons!
I had a really damn fun stream last night where I did art for a bunch of patrons! This is for Tweak, Wolf (who now has my older Wolverine chara!! Her name is Amadi now!! Check out the rad art Wolf has gotten of her!) Arkson and KaijuHyena!Characters belong to their owners, and my gratitude belongs to you all! I hope to do some more freebies for patrons soon! Be sure to check out my streams so you can get some art! I’d love to make something for...

Owl Speedpaint- SAI2 Test
I'm trying out SAI2! This week, I used some bday money to get myself a screenless, wireless huion tablet! Why? Well, I wanted a better tool to help facilitate me learning blender and also make pixel art easier on my hands!So, I've been playing with art software to familiarize myself with using the new hardware. I feel, once I become comfortable with the tablet, I can much easier learn something brand new, like blender!!So, I used the symm...

Happy Bowser Day! - Full Res DL
I had no idea it was Bowser day today but when I saw it I was so stoked to draw him! I never have tried before so I wanted to give it a go!I also wanted to stay true to the style while giving it my own flavor here and there! Let me know what you think! I had a blast with this <3The BG was made by splicing together screenshots of Bowser's Castle from Paper Mario (n64) and then quickly painted over before finishing it off with a procreate halft...

I’d like to host tutorials in discord chat!! Let me know what you think!
Weird Wolf - Style exercises
The fun of having a simple character, that I can just play with has been really incredible for creativity. I love playing with shapes and styles with this weird wolf! I'd like to share a series of practice works like this as I make them (i'll upload 2-3 at a time like this!)Weird wolf is a ton of fun to draw, and honestly freeing in ways!
TRASH
Sometimes you just gotta embrace your inner trash panda.I love raccoons <3
