@SiteGround Seems I can't run my business at all since your CDN choke took my sites down and I can't even contact support!

Work in progress: my LARP character, Xylanova the curmudgeon crafter. Trying to get more creative with backgrounds in character design.

In which I finally take the plunge and begin coloring my work for Poems of the Night Watch - by first limiting my options!

In which I begin to explore the intricacies of digital watercolor techniques using my very first RPG character as a guinea pig...even though he's a coyote! #coyotes #furry #digitalwatercolor

I like designing logos for things that don't exist far, far more than logos for real products or services. Read on to learn about how I started creating fake union logos for Tales from the Floating Vagabond! #logos #TalesfromtheFloatingVagabond

I took a break from sketchblogging last fall when a hip injury started interfering with my work. One year and one surgery later, I'm thrilled to announce that I've left my agency job and successfully transitioned to freelance artist! #constellations

Thank you everyone who has donated so far! We're only a little way there, but as the first $500 worth of medical bills came today, I'm feeling... https://t.co/90YIBELMbF

My newest D&D party travels on a flying ship, and the DM let us vote on the NPC captain's race, gender, and bits of background. Given that at least half my game family is LGBTQ+, we picked a tiefling. #AThousandOceans #Dungeons&Dragons #tiefling

I looked at my portfolio recently and said to myself, "Kira, nearly all your character designs have blank white backgrounds. It's BORING. How about giving them a background or a setting or something?" #AThousandOceans #Dungeons&Dragons

I didn't realize until I drew this that it must be a distant cousin of last week's monster. I've watched a lot of Star Trek: The Next Generation during the pandemic, so maybe I was on a Riker kick?
