Wip version of a trimax panel redraw. I do have the finished version as well but I kind of didn't like how the background turned out, so even though this is a little scrungly I still prefer it
#art #watercolor #trigun #vash
A watercolour painting of vash the stampede from Trigun. He is depicted as a bright red silhouette with some minimal shaded definition on his coat and hair; the lenses of his glasses reflect brightly. He is posed dramatically on a rock, with one leg bent and his coat tails billowing. The background consists of rough orange pencil shading with a yellow border around his silhouette.

Unicorn! Violence! #art #watercolor #fantasyart #normalbarking
A watercolour painting of a long-furred pink unicorn with a long tail. It has another unicorn's severed and bloody head impaled on its horn. Some old gore is splattered across its face and front hoof. It walks jauntily forward, left to right across the page.

Fester's Special Party Trick of "turns into several ribbons" #art #furryart #oc #sketch #normalbarking
A pencil bust drawing of my character Festeghet, who is part of an original species (benko). Their general shape is vaguely mouse-like, with large round ears and a long rounded snout. They are drawn in profile with one wide eye visible, looking back at the viewer. Festeghet is covered completely in loose spiral patterns, most prominent on areas with a wider unbroken surface area such as their cheek and shoulder. The spirals gradually become bolder further from their eye, eventually unraveling completely into disconnected ribbons. This effect obscures what the actual shape of their snout, ears, and torso would look like. The lowest ribbon fades out and isn't connected to anything. Handwritten in pencil is the text "Festeghet Concept #2", located a little below the sketch.

NO-NAME #art #watercolor #abstractart #fantasy #oc #dragon #normalbarking
An abstract watercolour painting of a dragonlike creature. The background is a pale yellow-orange which fades out near the edges of the paper. The subject looks towards the viewer, their face completely shadowed; their body extends past the right edge of the page. They are painted in a rich blue which deepens into black where the shadows are thickest, around primarily around their eyes and the undersides of their horns and chin. They have a main of straight fur which hangs downwards. The vague impression of a wing is visible to the right, but most of their body is indistinct; only their face has any significant detail. The blue of their body is lightly splotched onto the background behind them.

A watercolor painting of a wormlike dragon with pale skin and a red eye. It is depicted crawling through the ground like an earthworm, some parts of its body obscured. The image is set up like a cross section of the ground.

Mewmie doodles :] #oc #art #sketch #furry #normalbarking
A pencil sketch drawing of my character Moony, who is a vaguely dragonlike creature. There is one large bust sketch and three smaller doodles along the right side of the page. The bust sketch features moony in a 3 quarter view. Moony has a long snout with a leonine nose, horns and ears like a bull, and a scruffy mane which continues into a beard. In this image their eyes are wide, with a lightly shaded sclera and iris and white pupils. They have prominent laugh lines and a somewhat serious expression. The first of the small is a simplified sketch of moony's head with their arms visible and their paws brought up to their face in shock. Two exclamation points are by their head. The second sketch is another simplified moony with an elongated face and two question marks by their head. They look confused and a little spacey. The third doodle is moony drawn in the style of the little ms paint looking guy looking back and up (couldn't find the meme name, sorry). Moony's head size has been exaggerated, and they're seated with their back facing the viewer and large eyes looking up and back at the viewer. They have wings and a tail with a tuft of fur at the end.

Oh birdgirl we're really in it now #art #oc #sketch #furry #normalbarking

They have a long neck and a fairly tall crest of feathers. The image contains the text "Solïa concept #2, (dated) 03/10/24" handwritten in pencil.

Some concepts for a moony painting I'm yet to fully realise
#normalbarking #art
A highlighter, pen and pencil bust drawing of Moony, a dragon-like creature with curved horns, a shaggy mane, and feathered wings. They are depicted with one wings obscuring the bottom of the page, glancing anxiously towards the viewer. The entire drawing is overlayed with stylised mist, which is defined not by lineart but by cutting in to how the image is rendered - the otherwise black pencil background is instead left blank where the mist is, and the details on moony themself are washed out, reduced to only blue highlighter and pen rather than the pinks and purples used elsewhere. One whisp of mist cuts directly across their one visible eye, leaving the lower half of their iris completely white. A scan of two pencil and pen sketches. The first sketch has the same composition as the highlighter drawing in the previous image, except in pencil and with less detail. The second sketch is a zoomed out view of Moony in the same pose, where it is now visible that they have their back to the viewer, looking over their shoulder, and they're standing on a curved pathway surrounded by fog. In the foreground, there is a warning sign depicting a crossed out eye with paneiakei text bracketing it (reading "meiyi esya"). A smaller sign lower on the pole depicts a star-like sigil obscured by a cloud. In lower left the corner of the image, there is a note reading "PATH OBSCURED".

Anyways. Moony be upon ye #art #watercolor #fantasy #oc #furry #painting #normalbarking #artistsupport
A detailed watercolour bust painting of moony, who is an original character. The painting has been digitally scanned. Moony bares passing resemblance to a dragon; they have horns and ears like a bull, a long snout with a leonine nose, and an extensive mane which covers their neck, chest, and the borders of their face. They do not have scales; their skin is dark in colour, with purple and green shading like a crow's wings or a beetle. They have feathered wings with the same colours. Their mane is brown. Moony is posed with their body and wings facing to the left of the image, with their neck craned such that their head is visible in profile view facing to the right. The one eye that is visible has a dull pink schlera, a pale pink iris, and a white pupil. They have prominent laugh lines. Another angle of the painting described in the first image, this time as a photograph rather than a scan. Moony's feathers and skin have been painted over with multichrome paints. From this angle, the multichrome appears to be a mix of blue and green on the feathers closest to the camera, and more purple toned around their face, which is further away. Their iris also appears more white than pink. A third angle of the paint, this time a closeup of moony's wing. Their feathers appear bright purple with blue undertones where the light hits the multichrome paint.

I haven't had the time or energy to prepare more postable overmorrow stuff but i have always liked how neat this paneiakei alphabet reference turned out so. Conlang be upon ye #art #worldbuilding #normalbarking ...not really sure how else to tag this one. It's the language moony speaks, though!
A 10 by 4 grid displaying every discrete character in the paneiakei alphabet, which is a conlang. Each paneiakei character is drawn with red watercolour, and labelled in black with a smaller english name. The names are as follows (quit screen reader now if you don't want to hear forty random sounds. Unlikely to be accurate pronunciations): Ah; tche; se; yi; iks; oi; ja; de; ao; ge; it; ei; ar; sphe; hei; ou; ï; zha; zo; phe; ot; sha; öm; thi; ut; äm; ve; urn; re; rur; em; or; oh; pe; ku; ee; mu; no; wa; te.

Various grotesque studies
#art #normalbarking
Two studies of different grotesques. The one in the upper right portion of the page is a smooth, lizard-like, and generally typically gargoyle-shaped creature, with a somewhat leonine face. It is drawn with yellow, pink and blue highlighter overlayed with each of as shading, and heavy black pen hatching in the darkest shadows, and as sketchy line art. The second grotesque in the lower left is more overtly feline, and is drawn with a yellow/orange/red magic pencil, along with the same style of black pen shading and line art. Both grotesques are depicted with their mouths open, though the first almost seems to be smiling, while the second has a more serious expression. A highlighter and black pen sketch of a gargoyle's head. It has large, wide ears which are slightly pinned back, and it's eye and mouth are deeply shadowed. Its tongue lolls out of its open mouth, and the end of its snout has a hook to it not unlike an eagle's beak.
