Death Petal Art

I don't post many sketches, should I change that?

...Anyway, this is a sprowlet! It's a creature from my comic. They're shapeshifters, & they look like little fluffballs when they hatch from giant eggs, then they grow into this form, with big avian dinosaurian hind claws. Then when they're older, they develop a more complex form, with a longer weasel body, & multiple sets of shorter legs, 4-8 avian claws or fuzzy feline paws, & they gain the ability to awkwardly float. They sometimes sprout tiny useless vestigial bat wings at random intervals.

...Ok, so I unintentionally reinvented the Furby, & then the Long Furby. I just really like Furbies! They're the perfect juxtaposition of creepy, cute, & stupid 🥰 I have 3 originals, & 1 Furby Boom. I just need to find a safe place to display them where my kitten won't try to fight them. Yes, even if they're turned off. She tries to fight my toes when I'm asleep. I get no peace.

no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)

you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results

New Clip Studio Paint Brushes by DeathPetalArt for rendering dreadlocks! I made them for this faux pencil portrait of Kenrin Tamal, my Dryad OC, but you can use them in any medium, especially for hippy & cybergoth characters with loc extensions & dreadfalls.

All my Clip Studio brushes are currently free! If you post any art using them, I'd love it if you tagged your work with #DeathPetalBrush & @deathpetalart or @polyamorkey 😊 It's not mandatory, it would simply make this decrepit old cripple happy. You can always tip in the Asset Store if you find my brushes fun or useful.

Clip Studio Paint Brushes by DeathPetalArt

I keep making more box braid/twist/cornrow brushes for Clip Studio Paint 😅 They're all free for black history month! I'll be uploading more brush packs over the next few days, including brushes ending in pony beads, & 🌈 rainbow hued brushes that shift in color based on how much pressure you apply!

I'd LOVE if you tagged me in any art you make with my brushes; @DeathPetalArt or @PolyAmorKey #DeathPetalBrush 🖌

My first painting of Karlach got the requisite number of likes, so I included a nudie version behind this cut!

This is Niava Mercy, protagonist of my WiP queer whimsy-horror modern-fantasy webtoon comic PolyamorKey! Sidekicks Kitta & Mias discover that Niava's Ankh pendant is one of twelve enchanted keys, forged so long ago that no one remembers exactly what they unlock. After using her key to tear open a small window in reality, the three humans briefly lock eyes with a beautiful oak-skinned stranger picking jeweled fruit in a grove of alien trees. When the window closes again (but not before he chucks a fruit through the opening), the trio decide that they have to find that strange, beautiful, alien world again. After all, they already have one key, & any window can be a door, if you're brave enough.
