I did a whole series of tiny mice in my sketchbook ~10-12 years ago. As I dig up more, I’ll post them.

I haven’t posted in a while. It made me think of all the stuff I have made but kept (mostly) a secret. Here’s a Christmas painting for my father, circa 2021. Holbein Acryla Gouache on paper.

Playing around with animation on Clip Studio Paint! So far, I like it much better than Photoshop - exporting this gif was sooooo much easier than in PS, though it didn’t give me as many options in the dialogue box. If you’re an animation pro, CSP might be too simple. For someone new to animation, though, I found Clip Studio to be very user friendly.

Hi folks! I’m not super active on here anymore but! I’m still making art! I post a lot more on Twitter (@vortexcritter) and Instagram (@claire_moonbean). I also started a Patreon earlier this week so that I could get founders status before they change the pricing. I don’t know what I’ll post on there but hopefully I’ll come up with something soon!

Anyway. I finished this painting recently- “Vulpes,” 24” x 36” oil and aluminum leaf on canvas.

Also, this is the second version of this post. Before I had written this really long post about how I’m still making art and stuff but I don’t post on tumblr a lot anymore, followed by a promise to try and post on here more often even though the platform is kind of broken and keeps flagging repeat patterns as adult content, and then the post just FAILED and vanished. Sooooo, yep. Anyway, I’ll still try to post on here if the platform lets me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fortunately I copied and saved this in my notes so I can just paste the content of it fails again. Lol.

Hi folks! I haven’t posted here in a long time but I wanted to share this Halloween costume I made. It was partly inspired by the horrible bird people in Heironymous Bosch paintings (The Garden of Eathly Pleasures especially) and also partly by just some Halloween raven and red riding hood spooky fun. Hope u all enjoy xoxoxoxo
