This was exhausting and took way more time than I meant it to, but I'm reay happy with the end product!
"Tell Me More" is a contest entry for the beautiful bizarre magazine, and I feel like this fits that description pretty well!
A horror deer inspired by a recent post about zombie deer disease, and the general horror trope of fucked up deers as an indicator of the relative health of an area.

As pride month comes to an end, I wanted to make something documenting BoD’s queerness, since it probably won’t come up often in the text, particularly since Red and Fane look straight at a first glance. How are they at a (presumably) human pride parade when the canon story is set in an alien steampunk world? I dunno, I just wanted an excuse to draw them in their pride colors. Explanations of each below, if you’re curious. Red: pansexual (shirt), demisexual (flag cape). She’s a gender nonconforming woman who enjoys masculine styles and will date anyone, regardless of gender, as long as she has an emotional connection with them. Fane: bisexual (shirt), progress flag for general queerness. He likes both men and women, but is attracted to different things from each gender. If these definitions of bi/pan/demisexuality aren’t perfectly textbook, please don’t come for me in the comments. I’m working from the most common definitions I could find. Oh, and by the way, both of their sexualities include trans people 🏳️⚧️
There's a drawing meme going around on twitter, and I couldn't not draw Red for it! She's too rowdy for an outfit with a proper cutout, hopefully her pj's count. Red (she/her) is a character from my animatic, Better Off Dead. #shirtcutmeme #artmeme #twitter #originalcharacter #characterdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUmh8HLYsO/?utm_medium=tumblr
Unfortunately the installation crop isn't ideal for this, but this is a project I made for school! The prompt was just "the best piece you've made in art school"... which was really hard. But I love how this came out! You can view it in full on my website (sleepymoth.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtJz_QLO80/?igshid=1pyvvf2nxzkj6

My thesis project, and the reason I've been MIA lately!
Okay so, it took me forever to post this because the formatting on insta sucks, but this is my illustration IV final project. It's a three page comic containing two characters I've been work shopping for a very long time. Because of the limits of the project, I could only do 3 pages, which is why it's so short. I'm planning on doing my thesis with them as well, in a different context. https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1BNUwnMOv/?igshid=gdw6rvsmuthz
A good little boi... Hes a Caterpillar dog. A dogepillar if you will. Hes very excited about everything, and I love him for it. I like to think his boofs are soft and quiet, so he doesn't disturb anyone. A polite little lad. Also his feets make a satisfying *pat pat pat* noise when he walks. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CJWebnkQz/?igshid=1voapdilf7c6y
Harlow again! I wanted to work with perspective and how it works on a (mostly) human body. Also I needed to figure out what his mask looks like. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZU-b2HWDM/?igshid=ksbjn2odpaac
New semester sketches! In order of appearance; Red in the rafters. Harlow with his batons and mask. My DnD character, Ward, except hes all grown up now. Red biting someone on the leg. Fane comforting his big scary doggo wife. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HFx91HFPB/?igshid=1m2xbt7ozsr30
With the stress of finals over I just really wanted to draw a mothmun. Hes the same as a moth man, except better in every way. The arrow pointing to him has a caption that tells you he is "a perfect boi" because he is. #mothman #moth #lamp #sketch #mothmun https://www.instagram.com/p/B6IzmERn025/?igshid=1f50ammw1ngzz
I normally dont do movie recommendations, but if you're at all interested in 2d animation you should totally check out #klaus on netflix! #fanart https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JuA10n39q/?igshid=jld4tdpzs38d
This is a draw this again with a speedpaint! I really like drawing this gory ass girl for some reason, and I recently saw Lex from madeyewlook is doing subscribers art as body paints, and I wanna get in on the bandwagon. If lex or anyone else wants to recreate this as body paint I'd be totally into it.

My latest illustration project! The concept for this was simply the word "deep". I immediately went to thoughts of the ocean. Acrylic paints on mixed media paper. #illustration #deep #thalassophobia #illustrationprocess https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cM9ghHaio/?igshid=12p6buy534446
Updated commission info! September commissions are open. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QNRaEHDs3/?igshid=r2bxi4ejusr1
What a slut... Harlow studies to help me with anatomy. He may not be technically human but his body is close enough. I didnt include his scar or tattoo in this one because I just didn't feel like it *shrug*. His bowstaff can break into a pair of batons and the ends can catch fire, which is how he earned the nickname "phoenix". He moves like a fire twirler/dancer, I think, which is very different to his mum, who is a brawler through and through. #harlow #betteroffdead #bod #anatomy #partialnudity #originalcharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KCG-Lnt7g/?igshid=1s7odneqxq0vh
