The Nearsighted Microraptor's Art blog

Hi, I'm The Nearsighted Microraptor, and this is my art blog, where I share a variety of my work as well as I can.

I've got a website: https://thenearsightedmicroraptor.neocities.org/ It's home-coded and a bit of a mess, but feel free to have a look

I've also got a Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thenearsightedmicroraptor I sell digital products such as colouring pages or adoptables. Feel free to have a look!

DNI: terf/radfem, racist, exclusionist, proshipper crowd, queerphobic of any kind, anti-human rights of any kind.

My entry for the @poketcg-art Kanto redraw event! I looked through their Kanto tag until I found a card I thought looked fun to redraw, then picked based on that :>

Original card under the cut (illustrated by Jerky):

Yet another redraw for the @poketcg-art event! I'm so happy I could manage to snatch up a card for Hoenn during the first checkpoint, Hoenn was my first pokémon game and Cacnea one of the very first figurines I owned <3 I've been enjoying painting digitally and using limited palettes, and making this was a real party.

Original card by Tika Matsuno, Poketcg-art's scan of the card is below!

Also a gif of my progress below the cut, so you can watch my scary flats turn into an adorable cutiepie in just a few layers:

It's been a very, very busy year, but I still had time to make many fun and good pieces of art <3 Not all of these have been shared yet, but I'll try to remember to post 'em soon!

EDIT: I WROTE 2025 IM A CLOWN. OH NO.

EDIT 2: There I fixed it. It's perfect and seamless and nobody will ever know. :)

Seeing as Chickensmoothie has announced their new guest artists, I should be allowed to share my finished application. I did not get in :( If you too think I should have been made king of Chicken Smoothie please bombard Tess with pleas for forgiving that one time five years ago when I said "shitpost" on the forums and had a link to my gallery where I had posted a scary sheep.

Last time I moved house, I redid the display in my table, and seeing as I have to pack everything anyway, I assume I'll be doing the same this time. So I took some photos of my favorite sections for posterity 💖✨

Seeking council with the Owl

The explorer

Spring cleaning

Rockslide+bugslide

Ghost housing

I'll make sure to share whatever I end up with next time ✨🔍
