“Where would rock and roll be without feedback?” - David Gilmour. Hello August, and that ends another sketchbook… that was quick!

first post in 6 years, yay this is a study i did to get better at using acrylics. you like?

This weekend we were going to celebrate Emma turning 10 (approximate, because she is a rescue) with an Ancient Aliens-themed party. It is her favorite show. Well... things went sideways. Long story short, after a vet visit, we learned she needed to have surgery to remove a small mass in her neck :( Thankfully, everything went smoothly, and we will get confirmation in a few weeks from pathology if the mass was benign. We are remaining hopeful that it was. Happy birthday Emma! No matter what, you are out of this world

And that closes July!

Before I moved, I worked for several years in agriculture. It was hard work, but I have fond memories of that time. My son, by chance, also loves the outdoors and working with his hands. I love gardening together

That's one brave turtle.

Whales in strange lands, as per usual…

Tried drawing a mermaid yesterday because why not, as I always say… unfortunately my first few attempts looked like someone punished a toilet, so I nixed that idea until now. Third (I think) time lucky?

I do not know what is this... I just happened to draw it on a whim.

Another low effort thingy. That's how Caroline keeps him in bed. She learned this trick from the cats.

For an Instagram art challenge, we had to draw a beat ‘em up character in the style of a robot. Here’s my contribution! I could’ve gone with some fairly obvious choices, but to challenge myself and try something new, I opted for Gon from Tekken 3. Turning this dino into a robot, now that’s where it got interesting!

Here’s a question for you… what would *you* call a hybrid of a Lusca and a narwhal?

Experimenting with Ido, in conceptual design. His concept is actually still very ambiguous in my imagination, unlike his wyvern counterpart. There are still multiple interpretations I have to try out, before narrowing down onto the one which is the most fitting. His elusive character is starting to show (as an ego). A prideful yet aloof character, hiding a very vulnerable and lonely side underneath. Very wise and knowledgeable from an endless search for meaning, but there are some things that he still couldn't understand.

I can’t remember if I ever drew much in the way of dinosaurs growing up, but when my folks brought me this Anixiousaurus t-shirt from their Spain trip for me recently, that gave me incentive to do something about it at least!

I wanted to try a cat hybird. (Those damn hands -_-) But this is what I have so far. I think she's turning out great.

What happens when I recreate the vibe of a non-human OC as a human, lots of messy experiments going here. It turned out much better than I thought though, as I have very little confidence in drawing humans.

I liked her so much I drew her again, but I learned some things about her. (Damn those hands, gotta work on them.) Concept art Name: Carina Age: ??? Race: Demon (Father is a demon, mother human) Ethnicity: Her mother was a young Italian woman who was tricked into falling in love with a demon. Status: Sorceress Abilities: She wields a staff that consumes souls of the living. She uses those souls to feed her power. Extra (for now): The globe on her staff is an ancient artifact in which she had to prove her will and strength to achieve it. The artifact draws out the souls of her victims. But before it does, it puts them in a trance like state to keep them immobilized.

f someone can point me in the direction of a Lowly Worm plush for my collection that would be greatly appreciated, heheheh! Must confess though, I didn’t grow up with much in the way of Richard Scarry…

I have a bunch of outlined works that I had made. Most are concepts that might not get finished.

Narwhals in other worlds, whatever else?

Hadn’t drawn Dragonite in a while… figured I’d do something about that!

A preliminary sketch for what will eventually appear in my next book of cartoons.

When your parents know what kind of souvenirs to bring you back from their vacations :-D

Here is a really weird jellyfish I drew. I cannot even count all the jellyfish I've drawn over the years. I don't know what to say really other than the fact that I love them. :D Created with Ink Pen and Procreate. www.janelledimmett.com

A playful, hand-drawn illustration featuring a happy character wearing a gravity-defying top hat overflowing with a dense garden of flowers. This monochrome piece blends whimsical fantasy with a bold, indie-art aesthetic.
