Hello!

My name is Ingrid (she/her, they/them and it/its are okay, xe/xem too), and I'm a digital artist with passion for nature, animals and fantasy. I post about alterhuman experience on my sideblog @sunpoweredog

I mostly draw feral animals, but hopefully i'll also share some content from my own story with human characters.

My commissions are open, you can find info here!

My carrd if you want to follow me elsewhere!

A character reference sheet commission for 007! It was an extremely cool experience, I love drawing lynxes

I learnt a lot about James bond while making this haha ^^"

My grandma LOVES the films but i never really watched any, and now i'd really like to try watching one or two, seems fun

Annual profile banner update! I'm quite surprised myself with this one, because I was planning to make a dark, solemn picture in black and green, with branches and leaves of oak... But no matter how I tried, I couldn't grasp the image, the composition, the colors, so I just let my mind flow aaaaand here we are.

My part of an art trade with an artist from VK!

The character is a marling, closed species belonging to @imargomorthis i rarely ever draw buildings and even these very simple ones were very hard for me! :<

I kinda wanted to add more details but there already are so many colors and things going on in the picture, it's important to know when to stop!

To build the First Temple, king Solomon had to use no ordinary tools, but a Shamir - a mysterious substance, sometimes described to be a worm or a worm-like creature, that could cut the stones with them remaining "in their fullness". A hoopoe bird was guarding the Shamir, using it to cut open rocks in the mountains so that plants might grow from them.

Happy Tu Bishvat! even though this is not a holiday-related piece.

A custom chakat design + ref!

I've only worked with taurs once before, and even had them on my "will not draw" list but... then i got interested, then i tried sketching some, and here we are! It was quite fun! I'm very proud of this ref actually.

Also further completing my nonexisting bingo of "collect open/closed species in my drawings"! So far i've had a kebanzu, a sergal, a chakat... Who's next? :DD
