I had so much fun drawing Lesbian Lake Landscape that I decided to make another piece of pride flag landscape art, this time based on the agender flag. I think this one turned out even better than the first!

I'm seriously considering doing more of these, maybe even going through my whole set of pride flags in alphabetical order.

But that would mean the androgyne flag, which consists of just 3 vertical stripes, is next... *artistic eye twitch*

I've been trying to mostly stick with just using the shades that are actually on the flag, except for some sky gradients to make the clouds visible, so it'll be interesting to see if I can pull this off, or if I'll end up having to bend some rules to make it look good.

​Maybe I could draw a blue waterfall on a purple crystal cliff, adorned with pink flowers... yeah, that could work.

This is an experimental piece, my first attempt at creating art exclusively with the colors of a pride flag, as opposed to drawing black outlines or foregrounds and filling in the openings with flag colors.

It's a bit rough in places, but I feel like there's a certain charm in that, a reminder that art doesn't have to be polished and perfect to be beautiful.

A fae casts a glamour to take the form of a normal child... or a child's mind soars into a world where she's a creature of power and magic. Which one is it? I'll leave it to you to decide.

In this speedpaint, I'm designing Kivara the Charishi kitten, a chaotic little member of a feline species in my fantasy short story and upcoming novel, Upholding the Covenant.

While I design her, I'll be sharing cute and funny Kivara moments, new facts about Charishi culture and biology, and insights into how the jock baby's friendship with nerd ambassador Orennian developed.
​ 

She's here! That horrible, adorable little fur monster I've been posting about finally has a face to go with the shenanigans.

Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals, I'd like you to meet Kivara, the Charishi kitten from my short story and upcoming novel, Upholding the Covenant.

This picture put up a heck of a fight, which is appropriate for a kitten who will try to fight ANYTHING from loudly dropped boxes to thunderstorms.

You'd think an artist who's lived with cats almost my whole life would know how to draw them, but nope, I did not. At all. So this picture was a total learning curve for me, and it looked like ass until I added the stripes. After that, it all started coming together.

I had a rough idea of what Kivara looks like, but a lot of the details needed to be ironed out and experimented with on the fly, so I was actually designing Kivara while I drew her.

​I decided to record the process for a speedpaint, which I'll release soon, and even though I did a rough practice round before starting to record in earnest, the parts I recorded still added up to almost six hours.

​And that's not even including the bits of tinkering I did while the second-last video was rendering and I thought I was done (before I realized the ears needed fixing), and widening her raised forelimb to match the planted one!

Still, I'm glad I stuck with it, and didn't let that struggle be the final word on whether or not I could introduce Kivara's cute, bratty face to the world. I think this picture captures not only her appearance, but her alert, energetic, inquisitive and mischievous personality.

Designing not just a character, but a species.

Kivara is the first Charishi I've ever drawn, so to some extent I was figuring out their traits as a species while I was drawing her.

I wanted to give the Charishi more distinctive physical features to differentiate them from real-life felines and make them more unique, but so far, most of the ideas I've had just haven't felt right. The one thing that did stick was those big, triangular tufts of fur on the ends of their rounded ears.

Speaking of which, Charishi ears aren't normally that huge; Kivara's just special that way. She's the runt of the litter, but she has the voice, ears and attitude of a much larger creature, haha.

As she grows, her forelimbs' digits will elongate into fingers, and she'll start to shift to a bipedal stance as her default way of walking. But she'll still be able to drop to all fours for a startling burst of speed!

She'll also start to wear clothes; I need to figure out what kind of outfits the Charishi wear. Probably some sort of loose, roughly knee-high robe that can comfortably accommodate both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion.

If you like this bratty baby enough to bring her into your house, you can get Kivara on T-shirts, stickers, coffee mugs and more in my RedBubble and Society6 stores!

And if you want to learn more about Kivara, her species, and the world she lives in, you can follow me on social media to get notified when I share more updates.

For my latest pride flag cutout art series, I wanted to try something more ambitious. Instead of having a single theme for the pattern, I drew seven different layers of the world: 

1. Outer space, with planets, comets, moons, and UFOS.
2. High sky, with birds, wind, and clouds.
3. Low sky, with treetops, dragonflies, and butterflies.
4. Ground level, with flowers, grass, and other graceful plants.
5. Underground, with tree roots, bunnies, and mice.
6. Shallow water, with sea stars, sea horses, and vividly pattered fish.
7. Deeper ocean, with jellyfish, octopi, eels, naked sea butterflies, larval lionfish, and ctenophores. 

​
I'd initially planned to keep all the cutouts fairly simple, but as I so often do, I wound up getting more and more detailed. I went overboard with the butterflies and dragonflies, and I went absolutely apeshit with the fish, haha.

For those who are curious, I created this by placing a layer of black on top of the color layer, then erasing holes in the darkness, allowing the colors of the flags and the pastel rainbow background to shine through.

​I also added spots and shimmers of white to give it brightness and texture.

I hope you enjoy the result!

​I was fiddling with the settings on my favorite snowflake brush in Krita, doodling and adding colors at a whim, and this kind of just... happened.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Time for another snowflake series, this time in my favorite color. :)
 

It took me several tries to get a background that both complemented this pattern, and would look good when tiled.

​Below, you can see one of my earlier attempts; the contrast was so high that it distracted from the snowflakes, but it looked so good on its own that I decided to use it as a standalone art piece.

I don't quite remember who, but one of the people who was looking at my snowflake patterns had a great suggestion: take a bunch of the snowflakes I've already drawn, and combine them into one pattern.

It took me a while to get around to doing it - too busy making new snowflakes and other art, haha - but I finally did it, and I'm glad I did!
