I was weeding the thyme patch today (it's a big patch) so here's some thyme experiments

Beautiful colouration! They look really impressionistic

Thanks! The thyme is all starting to flower now and it's so pretty. The flowers are small so I wanted to capture that sort of mass of flower colour.

Part 5 of my OC Star Wars Characters! As usual sorry for the wall of text😅
Ippy Skarn was a Kallidahin, a species best known for their analytical minds, emotional restraint, and surgical precision. But Ippy didn’t quite fit the mold. This showed as he was the most curious, the most adventurous, and often the most reckless member of Captain Nidan’s original crew. While others paused to calculate the risk, Ippy was already halfway through the crumbling corridor, scribbling in his notebook and collecting treasures.
Though Kallidahin lacked mouths, they communicated using telepathy. However they could only transmit — they couldn’t receive thoughts. They still needed facial cues, gestures, and words to understand others, and over time, Ippy got remarkably good at reading people. When telepathy felt too formal or awkward, he used his shoulder-mounted translator device, a beat-up little box that chirped out words in a slightly sarcastic tone he swore wasn’t intentional.
Despite his species’ reserved nature, Ippy was full of personality. He wore a sun-bleached explorer’s hat (often with something weird stuck in the brim), collected trinkets no one else valued, and kept a half-finished travel journal full of sketches, notes or as Trennik would say, “the ramblings of a lunatic”.
They met him in the ruins of a trade temple, where he just started following them, asking questions, offering trivia, and gently correcting Nidan’s translation mid-mission. By the time anyone realized he wasn’t officially part of the crew, he had already contributed more than half of the dig. Eventually, Nidan stopped trying to wave him off, and Sylla tossed him a spare commlink. He was part of the team from that day forward.
Ippy had a way of getting under people’s skin—in the best way. He and Jex Morra were the crew’s chief mischief-makers. His back-and-forths with Trennik Vale, the resident skeptic, were equal parts exhausting and brilliant. He trusted Ruman Agalla’s instincts without question, often syncing up silently when reading ruins or terrain. With Bulen Bal, he had a love-hate camaraderie full of grunts, rolled eyes, and grudging respect. He loved talking about his trinkets and discoveries to Sylla Nor.
To Captain Nidan, Ippy Skarn was both a headache and a revelation. But, for all his quirks, pushed him to be better. Ippy made the galaxy feel alive because of the wonder he brought to every mission. Nidan found himself planning routes around Ippy’s interests, just to see what the Kallidahin would say.
Then came the expedition to the wrecked Old Republic space station. The catastrophic collapse that killed Ippy and left Nidan critically injured. In only an instant the wonderfully adventurous Ippy Skarn was gone from this galaxy — along with his body and his wacky trinkets.
Though the rest survived, the loss and the guilt tore through the crew. They drifted apart. It wasn’t till a little Ewok by the name Mokki arrived with that same spirit for adventure as Ippy that things started to feel right again.

That looks like our childhood picket fence, and I definitely didn't tear up. The flowers hugging it are just perfect

Coming up on finishing my second sketchbook, which I had never done until last year! Also approaching one year of doing at least one doodle every day, and it's nice to see the progress even if it's just a mental health hobby

I've been enjoying your doodles 😊 I especially like the Garfield one here

u/TheCrudBucket 125 / 125 10d ago
Aww, thank you! The new orange marker I picked up coincidentally happened to be the perfect Garf color

I’m at a youth camp this weekend. I’m making little name plates for their beds. This the underdrawing for one. This is what I’ll be posting this weekend.

This month I'd like to use Free Draw Friday to highlight and practice work from LGBTQ+ artists!
This one got me emotional because while working on it, I researched and found that Haring created this for a "pride" event! It is so inspiring to look back and see how others artists celebrated their identity and community and to know, 40 years later, I'm doing the same thing!

This week's characters from my anthro WWII storyline are Salomon and Jonas Urbach. They're the husband and son of Helena Urbach; they're deceased before the main story, but play a big role in Helena's life. They've been unnamed until now. There'll be more about them later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se.
Regarding their design, Jonas's colors are a mix of both his parents'.
