Labramon needle felt that I finished back in.........February |D Oops, time flies! Anyways I'm really proud of him. He's semi-poseable and looks great next to the Paomon and Xiaomon I made.

Here's an otter character named Manu I made for redcar_tenken on Twitter! He wanted to surprise his wife for xmas. Did my best to get the markings symmetrical, but overall I think it turned out really well!

Here's a Dracomon needle felt I made recently! He was so fun to make, & he's semi-poseable too~ I also made Petitmon & Babydmon for fun c: If you want a Digimon like this I have one commission slot open! Prices vary but something like Dracomon would be about $150. You can see a bunch more photos here! https://twitter.com/K_Bolte/status/1577329282610737153

Sculpture for my friend Wolf Chi of his character Asi! He wanted a sculpture that could double as a candleholder, and he made me a sketch to work off of. I'm not sure if the clay would actually be okay with a live flame right next to it for long periods of time, but for the last photo I lit it anyways. The long pieces of hair were a challenge to do, I fashioned the long shapes out of clay and then curved a piece of foil into a dome shape and laid them inside it to bake. When they were done baking they retained that curved shape. Also, for some reason my acrylic paint was leaving a strange texture when I painted this piece. It was very rough and left small little round bumps instead of a nice smooth coat of paint. I'm not sure what caused that- I sanded down the sculpture and tried repainting it twice but I still got the same result. Maybe my paint is too old? Anyways I think I was able to recreate his sketch pretty well, so I'm happy with it  Made with Super Sculpey clay over a wire and foil armature.

"Paradise is when I'm with you" Fanart of Kiba and Mew from Wolf's Rain. I really loved the episodes with these two! I wish we knew more about Mew. I drew this last year and forgot to upload it. I didn't draw the background, it's a compilation of shots from the show

Here's my main team from Pokemon Legends Arceus! They're all named after Cave Story characters. I've trained Staraptor, Floatzel and Hippowdon before, but I've never trained a Flareon or Weavile, so it was fun to have them on my team

Commission for Raolin of Princess Greatness the Nightwing! She's a character we don't see much in the books but I think she's pretty interesting~

Happy Halloween! This is fanart for my friend Lucid of her character Rhys from her comic The Hunt! https://twitter.com/thehuntcomic

When the werewolf form for Rhys was revealed I was like ‘yes my time for fanart has come’ haha. I did a limited color palette challenge for this one, and also did the face in Wolf's Rain style cause I just finished rewatching it. Also gotta give a big thanks to my friend Sam for redlining the pants for me cause I’m bad at clothing

Anyways if you like gay boys and werewolves and ghost hunting check out the comic~

Did another piece of lfdonohue94's character Jack the Wyvern~ He's such a fun dude to draw! A flying pose was requested for this one but it kinda turned into a backflip or something, oops XD

Colored sketch for LFdonohue94 of his char character Fuscina!

My friend Raolin commissioned me to draw a scene with young Prince Arctic and his mother, Queen Diamond. Based on the interactions we can see between them in Runaway, as well as Arctic's thoughts about his mother in the prologue of Darkstalker, his childhood was really terrible. Diamond would have been EXTREMELY strict with Arctic throughout his entire life, because if he messed up in some way it would reflect badly on her as the queen.

I've seen fans of the series talk about how Darkstalker had a horrible childhood, with parents who fought all the time and a father who was indifferent and cold towards him. But nobody ever seems to realize that Arctic's upbringing was a whole lot worse. At least Darkstalker had a mother who adored him, a sister he was really close with, friends at his school, and a loving soulmate (for awhile at least).

Arctic had none of that. His father is never mentioned so I assume he is dead. He had no siblings, and since Diamond never talked to anyone below the first circle, his choices of friends were probably really, really limited. In Runaway he mentioned a weapon's teacher he was close with, but to my knowledge that might have been the only kind dragon in his life. And of course, that same weapons teacher is one of the dragons he accidentally kills. That would have destroyed him- and we can see that it does. He has PTSD about animus magic for the rest of his life.

Arctic was never really shown love until he met Foeslayer. It's no wonder he fell for her so quickly. And even though he hated the Night Kingdom, going back home meant going back to Diamond, who despite her words in her letters, felt no love for him at all. He really had no choice but to stay in the Night Kingdom, where at least he had Foeslayer and Whiteout.

Anyways, I could talk about Arctic all day, he's a really well-written character and I love exploring his backstory!

A commission for Raolin of a chibi Icicle. This was a lot of fun to do, I hope to draw more chibi dragons like this in the future c:

[diverteddreamstudios]

A silly commission for my friend Estrus on Discord He wanted me to remake the Neverending Story movie poster with his Legendz Griffin and Cait Sith. Since these are his personal Legendz characters they have color schemes different from typical members of their species

I normally don't do backgrounds for commissions but since I had a direct reference to go off of for this one it was pretty straightforward c:

[diverteddreamstudios]

Commission for Lfdonohue94 of his take on Chibi Shiron! I have to say, I prefer this design for him over the hamster like one from the show

[diverteddreamstudios]

Commission for Raolin of Prince Arctic and Foeslayer napping with their newly hatched dragonets, Darkstalker and Whiteout~ Drawing this family in happy situations is so healing for me I just want them all to live a good life ;^;

[diverteddreamstudios]

A commission from Reptek of Greymon and Shiron the Windragon as friendly rivals. I can't remember the last time I drew a Greymon, it was nice to have a chance with this comm! Also I'm pretty pleased with the pose for him as well, drawing forward facing stuff can be hard for me still haha

[diverteddreamstudios]

Another commission for Lfdonohue94, this time of his Wyvern character Jack! Seriously, Legendz has such cool character designs, I never get tired of drawing characters from this series c:
