Labor Day Sketch Stream

On Saturday, September 2, I held a Labor-Day-themed free art sketch stream and some birdfriends joined in. Here are some of the results!

Whiterock: Arrival at the Avian Haven (By Silver)

Penelope is a classy magpie with a classy hotel in Whiterock. Fortunately for Pepro and Tristan, she’s also very fond of their employer and welcomes them and their friend Nyx into her parlor for tea. Thank you to Silver for the wonderful fan art!

Sticker: Uhhh…

A sticker for my lovebird, Colin, looking a bit clueless as to how to respond to nonsense. A bit obscure, being based on an expression we found funny in DurhamrockerZ’s YTPs of King of the Hill.

Sticker: Colin Catches His Breath

Sticker: Aetus Slap!

Aetus is not a violent or bullying sort, but he may give an awakening slap now and then if you really needed it. Like if you fell asleep during migration and were about to crash into a mountain.

Sticker: Aetus.exe Has Stopped Responding

Some people think I’m insane I suppose. For sure I have my moments when my mental nuts and bolts come loose. It’s okay though. Creativity is bound to cause that sometimes.

Barnibu & Silver’s Door Sign for Confuzzled 2023

Two crazy birds emerging from the multiverse and being transformed into birds by the portal. The multiverse was the theme for Confuzzled 2023 in Birmingham, England. Barnibu and Silver are two good friends and I was able to meet them for the first time in-person in May when we attended this furry con together. Unfortunately we weren’t granted our wish to be birds permanently, but we could have fun pretending for a few days. Great times!

Joel Fights for the Users

Joel was put on the Gaming Grid but escaped to fight for the system! An avian tribute to Tron and a hatchday gift for my birdfriend, Joel, who also loves Tron.

Trisha With Her Bow

Trisha is a hunter and a warrior. A bit of reward art for my birdfriend after she read and reviewed The Adler Chronicles, one of my upcoming YA-genre novels. Thanks!

Mastodon Banner

A banner for my husbird’s Mastodon server. I could’ve done something more detailed, but we decided to go for cute and simple.

If you’re looking for a good alternative to X/Twitter, give Mastodon a try. It’s non-centralized and more resistant to data mining or falling victim to corporate politics. There are many other servers besides ours, if the name doesn’t appeal lol. So check it out!
