Is there anything more satisfying than arranging something in rainbow order? Didn’t intentionally pick rainbow colors for this illustration’s color scheme – just a happy accident!

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

A (very inaccurate to the story this is from 🤷🏻‍♀️) warm up painting from last month.

It'll probably be a little quiet around here for a while as I'm super busy working on things I can't show yet, but I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their September 💛

Back to school 🐈‍⬛📚✨

if you’ve been following me long enough you know I love a mimic. From my false faced mermaids that I’ve been painting for years to butterfly dragons, I’m a big fan of illusion in the bestiary world.

I bring you the Ginkgo Draco, another member of the Botanical Drakes.

It might be tempting to just slip this little guy into your pocket and take him home, but beware - this particular species of tree dragon's skin excretes a highly caustic acid when they're nervous, and they're pretty much nervous all the time.

As poor Clementine can tell you, Hero work is tough! People are always complaining, expecting you to solve all their problems, help them out of binds. You’ve got to look your best and put on a brave face, work late nights, and mysterious malevolent beings are always showing up, cloaked in smoke and stormcloud, hellbent on wreaking their wicked havoc on your beloved town…

Worst of all, sometimes you have got to attend Committee Meetings!

If you’d like to read about Clementine and all her many woes (and triumphs!) you can find them in my book, The Grandest Tales of Clementine – Kickstarter ending July 31st! Just 6 more days to go and we are so close to funding!

(there's a link in the pinned post on my profile, for some reason trying to add a link here keeps failing :C)

Art fight attack on Scarf cat draws/Sketch the cat on instagram!

I love their character Lucinda she has such a cool design and vibe!

Kinda forgot to mention here, I'm doing Artfight this year though I won't be super active during it, as I'll be taking my time with my attacks/revenges due to other commitments offline.

Hope you guys have a great time!

Dream big, little Ember! - This is a poster I illustrated for my upcoming debut picture book, The Bakery Dragon!

My take on unicorns! I'd really love to make a mythical creature field guide someday, since the Spiderwick Field Guide is what inspired me to start drawing in the first place 🥰
