Elephant/Dinosaur Hybrid - The Terraphant

So I’ve been playing a lot of Dauntless this year. Terra escalation is already out but I started designing this creature before it was released. It was an idea I had for the escalation boss. It’s a kind of scary elephant / dino hybrid. I’m not sure where I’m going to take it from here but it was fun to design :)

This is like my first landscape painting ever! Based on a photo I took near the house we stayed at in Norway! It was a really amazing trip and I'm so honored I was able to participate in one of LightGreyArtLab's residencies!

This may differ from a lot of my other artwork but as an artist I'm a curious person who wants to draw a lot of different things and exeriment with different medium and style. It's always nice to try something new! Or something you haven't done for a while!

It’s been a really long time. I’m relaunching Wolf Years to the best of my ability. I’ll do my best to update once a week! I’ll be traveling in May and June but have some pages already done from the beginning of the year. I hope you enjoy the story.

Just in time for con season- I'm relaunching my webcomic Wolf Years!

I meant to get this out way sooner but have been dealing with some mental health issues. But this story is really important to me and I am committed to telling it. There might not be much to this update but there's 30 pages online if you want to check them out @ wolfyearscomic.com.

I'm going to be at VanCaf (table N2) this weekend! I'll be handing out sparkly Wolf Years character cards and have some comics, prints, stickers & buttons!! I hope to see some of you there. I'm excited for my first trip to Canada!

Shiba & Sunflower I had so much fun with this piece and will have it at upcoming conventions! This year I'll be attending VanCaf, CAKE, FlameCon and SPX ♥ Of course I'll also have some new comics ♥

It’s been a while hope everyone’s April is off to a great start! ✨ Here’s an illustration from an upcoming self-love zine. It’s a personal project designed for the Light Grey Art Lab Residency I’ll be attending later in June ✨ It’s going to include comics and illustrations and I’m going to continue with my limited palettes 💕 Hope you enjoy this 3 color illustration about my love for tea!

Morgana is my favorite. Here's some old sketches I might color one day

I've put over 200 hours into this game now so I might as well fess up.

Finially finished an autobio comic on my feelings last week on IWD. I was experimenting with a limited pallete and it was really fun. I think having a unique look is the the thing I struggle with most when it comes to autobio comics. Also, finishing them.

Raccoon & Peony Another critter from my familiar spot color series! Raccoons are one of my favorite animals and I really had a lot of fun illustrating this piece but this will probably be the last one for a while. I really need to hunker down and work on some comics!

I'm so excited to announce that I will be an artist-in-residence in LightGreyArtLab's new Norway Residency! I'm honored to be among the artists in Team Sol! This trip is going to be really special for me. My Great Grandparents came to the United States in 1915. So I'm a 3rd generation Norweigian immigrant and this will be my first time visiting my 'home' country. I also have to say here that I support all immigrants especially those who are undocumented, who are protected under DACA, who are in limbo because of a change in their immigration status, who are currently in the process of being deported or those who have already been deported by the Trump and Obama administrations. I support you and I support immediate citizenship. Stop exploiting immigrants as scapegoats and cheap labor.

Wolf & Dianthus Another one from my familiar spot series ♥ This illustration is 4 colors and you can see the single layers on my instagram if you're interested ♥

Fox & Marigolds | 3 colors Another one from my #familiarspots series. They keep getting more intricate but I had to go all out on the fox prompt. Also this piece might have benefited from me being very bored when visiting my parents.

[krowencrow]

Keeping on with this little project I call #familiarspotcolor only now it's moved into limited palette as opposed to spot color hmn.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has gotten a good start to the new year. I'm in a rough spot but hoping to get out of this rut soon. Here are a couple of December highlights from my instagram :)

Most of the animal illustrations I've created for my buttons thus far! I think I'm only missing a couple of the most recent ... Most of these are still available in my Etsy shop!

I love designing & illustrating Christmas cards I've done 2 designs each year for 3 years now and I believe it's a tradition I'll continue :) Here are my new 2017 designs as well as my Riso cards from last year! All of these are currently in my etsy shop! There are only a few of the Riso card packs. I no longer have access to a Risograph so I can't make more which I'm super sad about :( Please support independent artists this holiday season!! It's really important and means the world to us. Of course it's wonderful for people to enjoy your work online but artists need financial support to keep producing work. I'm so thankful to everyone who has enjoyed and supported my work. Before attending conventions I would have never even known I would have such support. I'm able to keep producing work because of that experience. The experience of knowing that people like my work enough to talk to me about it and buy it. Sorry that got a little long but GO support your favorite artists in some way!
