Astro-axolotl - Bubblegum Punk

A young black woman with a wide stance stands on a purple stage. Her back is to the viewer but she is looking over her shoulder and smiling defiantly. She's playing a dark purple guitar with gold tuning pegs and a black strap, a cord leads out of frame to an amp. Her hair is short and natural, with the strands that frame her face dyed red. She has two gold piercings in her ears. She wears a jean vest with a black sword enveloped in flame stitched on the back, long green pants, and red boots. She's silouetted by a blue spotlight in front of her and it to the side by blue light.

18 and ready to scream. Meet Chel, the lead singer and guitarist of Flame Blade, Kira and Midas's band. She is sooooo fun to draw.

We Love An Alien Ecosystem In This House. We Also Love Giving Deer Spine Spikes To Defend Against Big

We love an alien ecosystem in this house. We also love giving deer spine spikes to defend against big birds and making fungi trees will bioluminescent spore pods. Image Id under keep reading.

Image Id: An astronaut in a pale blue space suit sits beneath a dark green tree with heavily textured bark. At its base, same green shoots point up towards the astronaut and the branches which have glowing oblong blue pods at their tips. The astronaut has black boots, pants with pockets on inner and outer calf and thigh, and a gray belt with many pouches. Attached to the belt is a knife in a black sheath. She wears a gray oxygen tank like a backpack and  gray tube threads into a hole on the chest of her suit. Her helmet screws into her suit in a gray ring at the neck. It is stylized with an ear level blue circle that is surrounded by a gray ring with a stem that connects to a triangle at the based of the helmet. There’s a blue patch on her shoulder. Brown hair frames her smiling face, eyes wide with delight and wonder. She reaches with a black glove with gray bending fingers and a blue stripe across the back towards blue floating glowing spores. The background is a field of red grass beneath a dark blue sky with a flush of yellow at the bottom. The blue is filled with stars the same color as the spores. A herd of strange deer with spines on their back graze in the distance. One looks at the camera. One walks towards the left. One eats with its head buried in the grass. Beneath the stars their is a city  of green and blue cylindrical buildings with rounded tops and spherical protrusions. The lights in the windows are blue like the spores and stars. Orange lights hover in the sky. A translucent blue dome with a hexagonal pattern near the top surrounds the city. /End Id

A Water Color Snail. They Are A Cuban Painted Snail. Their Name Is Sheldrake. Might Make Some Snails

A water color snail. They are a Cuban painted snail. Their name is Sheldrake. Might make some snails for sale if they become popular. 

Image Id: A snail on a light, warm gray background. The snail’s head has two gray eyestalks and one small gray tentacles. The head is red on top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom. The center of the spiral is white. As it moves out it becomes yellow, then green, then white again. Then it shifts to dark brown, to brown and orange and finally to red and yellow.

A cartoon green frog with brown spots and a paler green underbelly sits behind a gray stone wall with his front feet on it. His eyes are large and yellow and he is wearing a purple witch hat and cape tied with a lavender ribbon. There are two potions to other side of him on the table. The left is pale blue and glowing, the right is a dark bubbling purple. Three potions are hung from a brown vine above him, pink then orange then pink again. On both sides of the potions are glass orange spheres filled with fireflies with vines twined around them to attach them to the hanging vine. Behind the frog, a pale blue moon hangs in the purple sky. Yellow fireflies flit around the booth.

Will you buy his wears? He promises he knows what they all do!

Older piece (fall 2019) but never posted it and still like it a lot.

Fun Background Experiment. Featuring Spooky Floating City.

Fun background experiment. Featuring spooky floating city.

Image Id: A woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a cream sundress with green ribbon waste band stands in a field of green grass. She has a cream hat with a green ribbon band. She holds the hats brim and looks up at a floating city. The bottom is made of three rings with blue fires on the bottom that get larger as they go up toward the city. The city is made of different sized towers covered with ivy with rounded or pointed tops. There’s a central tower with three rings around. Its top is an observatory dome. The city is purple, silver, and gray. Wispy clouds surround it.
