Some new background work from my WIP volcano game
[img id] Cel-shaded, painterly, digital art of a volcano, drawn from the foot of the volcano looking upwards into a crisp blue sky full of leftover smoke from an eruption. The clouds encircle the volcano's peak like a halo. [/id]
Capture them gently
[img id] Digital cel-shaded art of a white unicorn fleeing an unseen hunter in the woods. The unicorn leaps across an isometric chunk of land vegetated with plants drawn in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript -- stylized grass and unknown plants, twisting painterly tree trunks, and broad paisley leaves. An arrow with red fletching stabs a tree behind the unicorn, just missing its mark. Below the unicorn, a small hedgehog mom has just rolled in some fresh grapes and is bringing them on her spines to her children in a burrow underground. [/id]
Rexy had a great time playing in the volcano today. Now it's time for his nap! ☺️
A splash illustration from my WIP game about old dead dinosaur gods who live in volcanoes.
[img id] Dark, cel-shaded illustration with outlines of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton draped across volcanic rock on a black background. The bones of the dinosaur are as blue as the rocks, and it seems to have taken its nap in the bowels of the earth. The skeleton faces right with its limbs akimbo, like it just fell down there, exhasuted, and turned to bones. An ominous red light glows within the T. rex's skull, hinting that it might not be entirely dormant. [/id]
The game in question is almost here! Currently tweaking the volcanic eruption right now! But we will be releasing it soon!!
Underrated reference photo tbh
[img id] Digital, cel-shaded artwork of the snake-necked turtle in the quoted photograph. The pose of the turtle has ben very closely studied: It floats mid-swim, long neck extended to maximum length, looking upwards at something to our left. Its skin and shell are gunmetal green, with a seafoam belly and thin light rim around its shell. Its feet are webbed and also armed with giant claws. This artistic rendition of hte turtle places it weaving through verdant, aquatic grasses set in a mossy-green isometric chunk of environment. Generic aquatic plants, also brightly green, wave in the background currents. [/id]
Art drawn by @sarahwithtea while group watching the splashdown tonight.
I draw wings all the time yet still forget that all the different feather sections can move in different ways
[img id] Digital cel-shaded art of a gyrfalcon perched on a pile of sticks, stylized as an isometic square 'chunk' for the purposes of the illustration. The gyrfalcon has a white body with speckled feathers, and light beige wings with large brown chevrons running down them. The bird is fluffing up its wings impressively, throwing all its feathers into a chaotic array. [/id]
I had a request for a "Bug" based on open source reference photos...so have a Carabus auronitens!
I used research-grade photos by Ludivine Lamare to figure out how the iridescence and anatomy worked.
[img id] Digital cel-shaded art of a Carabus auronitens, a beetle with a rainbow sheen. It's stepping off of an isometric chunk of rotting wood, complete with gross little hairy bits and maybe its own droppings (unclear, I was referencing from a wikipedia photo as well and the bug is surrounded by wet brown dustbunnies of some kind). The beetle itself is mostly a very dark gunmetal teal, which shifts in the light from dark green, to lime green, to limey yellow, to sunburst orange, to molten magenta. It has red accents on the tips of its legs and big red mandibles, too. The beetle is about to politely step off of the wood chunk because it thinks this whole thing is too silly for it to participate. [/id]
I think I could get into the habit of daily-ish animal studies like this, if people wanted them!
(Would also be open to volunteered free-to-use shots if there are any indie nature photographers out there who don't mind me selling the resulting art)
[img id] First image; Digital cel-shaded art of a little round Tasmanian Devil showing off all of its teeth… And I mean every last gleaming tooth in that stinker's head. It's sitting and yawning on an isometric chunk of earth, among bits of grass, weeds, sticks, and stones. Its fur is glossy and black, it has a patch of white over its heart, and its ears are translucently pink and coverd with hair. It also has long whiskers coming from its snout.
The second image is the photographic reference used for the animal. Not much was changed except for mild cartoonification and the isolation of the earth the critter's sitting on as a chunk. Photograph is courtesy of animalphotorefs on bluesky.[/id]
*sniffs u*
got any earwax?
[img id] A silly cel-shaded digital art of a calico kitty's face, up close. It's drawn from the perspective of a person trying to sleep but then the kitty shows up and steps on their chest in search of a humble, home-made snack. She has big green eyes and sort of business-like attitude, the same vibe a kid has when they ask if you got games on your phone. [/id]
Surprise! I've been working on a little free game about Tittivillus, the patron demon of typos.
Titivillus Teaches Typning is a chaotic typing game where your own mistakes will come back to haunt you -- but don't worry, you've got friends in high places who will help you with that shame bag of yours.
This free game is available for in-browser play on itch! Tumblr suppresses links so search for 'chromokun' on itch to find all of our games, including this new release!
[img id] 1st image: Cover graphic for the tiny but fierce indie typing game, Tittivillus Teaches Typning. It has a lockup in medieval-looking letters on a gold label, hovering over a plush green background. The titular Tittivillus demon pokes up from somewhere offscreen, just his blue batlike horned face visible from the nose up (and a little bit of his friendly smile). His wings spread out behind him and are mostly cropped by the graphic's constraints. Regrettably, as of typing, this game does not have any purposeful built-in accessibility functions for low-vision or blind users. The general consensus on the play experience is that it's a really nice typing game but the demon (and the accompanying main gameplay conceit of typos coming back to haunt you) can go jump in a lake.
2nd image: Cropped screenshot of the game, depicting the player character as a hapless monk in front of a vintage Dell computer from the early nineties. The monk is wearing soft blue robes including a snood cap and long flowing sleeves with enough room to stuff his belongings into. The monk is sitting in a chair in front of a desk with a nice green tapestry, with a chunky beige keyboard for his fingers to eventually flail over and press. The monk appears to be inside of a stylized cathedral of some sort with fancy tall gothic windows looking out on quiet darkness. The monk has a speech bubble overhead: "So if I don't make any mistakes, I don't need to worry, right?" is what he says. It has a pointer finger shaped like a medieval marginalia indicating that the player may proceed to the next bit of dialogue at any time.
3rd image: The game's title screen, including a luxuriously embellished 'Tittivillus Teaches Typning' done in the style of the Book of Kells. It has a few modern customizations in the face of Tittivillus, an abbot's face, a pirate worm, a snailcat, a skull, a horse with a cross around its neck, a big viking ship with a dragon's head, a fat king cat, a bird with a flower on its head, and three rabbits with jobs in sattelite architecture, writing, and sewing. These medieval miniature additions have personal private meanings that will not be shared here. The title screen has a distressed monk at the table in the foreground, which is the player character in-game.
4th image: A screenshot of the gameplay, featuring words that drift down and must be typed before they reach the bottom. The player character is in the lower left corner and must type away via Monty Python-esque animation of stiff limbgs. Off on the side is a 'shame bag' that fills with flying letters until it falls on a sleeping abbot. Two demons hang out in the rafters of a stylized cathedral interior: One is a large dragonish demon who spits out words, and the other is the titular Tittivillus, a little blue monkey bat guy with white wings that have red pinions. [/id]
link to save you a google search ^ absolutely DELIGHTFUL game love the little demon faces
btw for these things tumblr actually has a 'source' option where you can input the source of your post and have it link to your game in the post source below the rest of the post. this doesnt suppress the posts because theres no link in the post + its a core function of the website buuuuuut no one uses it lol
What...
I legit didn't know about 'source' option... ...
...
...How long have I been on this site, again?
Well, next time I need to point tumblr to our scrungly little games, I will do that instead! Thank you for being so helpful!
Attention all crows: One weird trick will save your life!
(Color and contrast touchup of my old comic, based on one of Aesop's fables)
[img id] A two-page spread of a digital cel-shaded comic about a thirsty crow on an ancient Greek desert island. The hooded crow (gray with black wings, head, and tail) soars through a blisteringly dry sky, under the heat of a white sun. The crow spots a lekythos, or ancient Greek pottery that can stand upright and has a handle and a spout on top. The lekythos is handsomely painted with red clay, black paint, and white paint in geometric stripes. The crow alights on the top spout of the vessel in order to peer inside. A bright blue avian eye lights up: This lekythos is full of liquid! However, the lekythos's spout is too tall for a crow's beak to reach all the way down to the drink. Desperate, the crow first spots the skeleton of someone else who died of thirst, but notices a solution nestled in the bones. Bit by bit, the crow picks up a pebble at a time, depositing it into the lekythos. It takes all day, beyond the sun setting over the ocean, but finally the crow gets a precious sip. It appears that perhaps the liquid is a bit alcoholic…or maybe crows just like to sing as they flop uselessly in the earth after a day of hard work. [/id]
Aww, lookit im, Titivillus, patron demon of scribes, has all the pokes full of naughtiness (and tpyos)
Since this is going around today, if you like medieval stuff can I interest you in checking out my video game where you play as a little medieval bee avoiding evil manicules? I made all the art for this, and my spouse (chromokun) coded it up.
Sound on is recommended for full effect :)
(And yeah, we might be discussing a game concerning Tittivillus in the same style)
fortis Fortuna adiuvat!!!
Hey guess what we have a Tittivillus game out! See, I followed up on my promise.
Collect Them All!
Here are all 24 drawings of extinct animals I did for Art Advent Calendar 2025, in a single post for your ease...yes, this has nothing to do with me exploiting a chance to show them all again... For individual alt texts visible in the text of the post, please browse my Art Advent Calendar archive tag here: https://rawrdinosaurfriends.tumblr.com/tagged/ArtAdventCalendar
For those who only follow my main blog, I compiled all the dinos from my art advent calendar project. Turned out pretty well, I think!

Hello everyone!
This year I've decided to participate in a 24-day long 'advent calendar' of art. Mostly what appeals to me about this challenge is the ability to provide my own theming and materials, but still participate in the hashtag. Provided I can keep it up, I will give you one fossil critter per day until December 24th.
I know it's not the same as having a comic update, but, with the aggressively extinction-themed video game I am making on the way, I want everyone to know that I am still alive and around!
Day 1: Velociraptor
Chomp chomp! This guy was actually as small as a housecat.
[img id] Digital cel-shaded art of a little velociraptor with a big nasty attitude. The velociraptor is posed in an attack position with its mouth wide open, tiny needle teeth ready to chomp. It is colored somewhat like a roadrunner with speckled brown feathers and red eyes. The velociraptor is perched on a square isometric chunk of rock meant to look like a bit of Gobi Desert where this dinosaur once dwelled millions of years ago. Tufts of desert grass stick out from the chunk. This image has a watermark appended to one side of the dirt platform: http://hmcgill.art [/end id]

I don't need new animals; I still like the old animals
[img id] Idle animation of a cartoon cel-shaded woolly mammoth. She stands on all four feet gently inhaling and exhaling, while her fur reacts and her tail and trunk waggle slightly, in a super fluid manner. Her fur is more on the orange side of brown, shiny and lustrous...a healthy pachyderm with gorgeous, liquidy eyes that you could sink into forever! Basically she looks like a woolly mammoth in original vintage late 90's Littlest Pet Shop toy aesthetic, but as a gif on your screen. [/img id]
