I don't often talk about my mental health, but I deal with depression, anxiety, and dermatillomania. I've been using the free version of a CBT app called Pacifica that is designed for depression and anxiety. It has mood- and health-journaling features that have really been helped me recognize thought and behavior patterns, and even some guided meditation that helps me control my thought spirals.

If that sounds like something you might want to try, here is the thing: http://www.thinkpacifica.com/

"Scissormaw"

Related to the first bottled Xenopoda, this small and intelligent sea monster has a formidable tool in its massive serrated beak.

Woops! Looks like the link broke on my last post? https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/inklingart/walking-flowers/

Thanks so much @cstanhope for letting me know! 🌿

Here we have an "Ambilius Flavoflos" (my terrible butchery of latin-based taxonomy meaning "walking yellow flower") and a couple of little dragonlike pollinators I'm calling "Bumble Pipwyrms" for now.

Another little 2016 ACEO that I found while getting ready to move...

Found a troll while I went through some things.

Scifi bottles, anyone?

Here's a different technique because I like to try new ways of making art - an almost entirely flat-color piece. Some cheatery happened on the protective bubble and in the sky. I did begin the whole thing on paper of course - I'm still really partial to the way that feels.

I imagine this martian colonist as a kind of ground vine dispersed in these bubbles that open when conditions are favorable.

I’m not able to do #mermay since I’m spending my time on other projects this month, so here’s a #ThrowbackThursday with an “Arctic Monoceros.”

@AesAthena @phoenix @erinbee Thank you all! <3

Finished the unicorn painting! WOOT!

Going live on twitch this morning! Going to finish the unicorn.

Here is a real oldie from 2006! This was actually one of those weird breakthrough paintings where I managed something ahead of my general skill at the time and it took a while after for me to work with high contrast in watercolors consistently.

Oh right, I didn't post this here yet!

Just cleared a big time-spending project off my plate, and I feel like a deer caught in the headlights of all the other projects I've been wanting to work on.

So much time! And yet. So little time!

It's #DrawABirdDay! I decided to actually take my animation tools for a spin like I've been meaning to. This is an art muscle I'd like to exercise in the future. :)

Go forth and draw some birds!
