I think most Lovecraft-based art is horrible. But I really like that. It's ~14 inches tall.

Spearthrower made of antler showing a young ibex with an emerging turd on which two birds are perched, found around 1940 in the cave of Le Mas d'Azil, Ariege. The ibex figure is about 7 cm long, and dates to about 16000 BP.

This was one of the first examples of mass produced art. Fragments of up to ten examples of this design have been found, which means that scores or hundreds must have been manufactured originally. The joke must have been very popular amongst the people of the time!

canvas is a little larger this time! one of my friends said that since i did a "summer" tree and an "autumn" tree, i should try doing a winter tree. i found a cool silhouette of a tree on unsplash so i used that as a reference for this one. also i tried using a technique for the sky that i saw on youtube, idk if it really fits that well but it'll do for now

i'll get better at it eventually :)

This one started from me messing around trying to practise painting fur more, but then it just started to take on a mind of its own and it turned into this! I hope you all enjoy!

This one took me forever, but I'm really pleased with how it came out. I've been through so many revisions with this one it's not even funny, but I think it came together in the end! 😃

Typically, I would post a link to progress pictures and files associated with this drawing onto my Internet Archive account, but Internet Archive is currently still not allowing logins at this time. I shall upload the files there once logins are reinstated. Apologies for any inconvenience!
