A hen and a capybara are standing on the sidewalk, next to a large puddle of water. Both are quite wet, and then hen is mad about it. Behind them, in a shop window, a blue bird is watching, in front of some manakins — the only evil he has committed is by staying dry.

#capypril 22 “Madder Than A Wet Hen”

I have no idea how they got wet, I can only assume bird-friend is responsible. Or a passing car splashing that puddle. Bird-friend probably called a taxi just to splash them.

A capybara, cow and blue bird sit around a table where a roast chicken has been served. The bird is alarmed. The piece is colored largely with dot patterns in different tones, suggesting a print. Some of the colors are slightly misaligned, and there are defects in the layers.

#capypril 21 "Don't Have A Cow (Have A Chicken)"

Using different layers as fake color plates was kind of fun.

AI music? Ugh. I like shitty music as much as the next guy, but I want shitty music made by humans!

(Current find: “Shitty Lou” by Wckr Spgt — a collection of not-very-good covers of some of Lou Reed’s worst songs.)

A crab putting on a puppet show — there are t-Rex puppets over his claws. In the background is a shipwreck.

#repostyourart is “critter” and a Critter has to be able to skitter, so perhaps this lovely crab will fit the bill. He’s putting on a puppet show.

A capybara lies awake on the top bunk, while his bird friend looks out the window at a mysterious cryptid at the edge of the forest, illuminated by the full moon. There is a poster next to the bunk bed, suggesting that this is camp cryptid.

#capypril 20 “once in a blue moon”

#capypril2026

A very boldly colored illustration of a capybara surrounded by pigs and a few other animals in some form of tight seating. The angle suggests stadium seating. Three rows of animals: goat, moose, pig with glasses; pig with no shirt, capybara with bird friend, pig with green shirt; sheep, pig (cropped), small pig in red shirt looking backwards over the seat. The capybara has a rather suspicious look, like he's trying to pretend everything is fine even though the pigs are in his personal space.

#capypril 19 "When pigs fly" -- this looks a bit more like "when pigs go to the movie theater, but it started out as flight...

Attempts to make it more airplaney lost a lot of charm.

#capypril2026

A drawing of a pelican attempting to eat a capybara. The capybara is in the pelicans pouch, looking out a little sadly. A small bird is pecking at the pelican's head.

#capypril 18 "Bite Off More Than You Can Chew"

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin #capybara

12 capybaras, arranged in a grid, each with the spotted pattern of another animal — salamander, leopard, moo cow, hyena, fawn, giraffe, harlequin shrimp, rainbow trout, Dalmatian, tapir, panda and ladybug.

#capypril 17 “A Leopard Can’t Change His Spots”

This implies that a capybara can.

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin #capybara

A cartoony drawing of a guillotine being operated by capybaras. There is a line of men in suits being led to the device, a basketful of deplorable heads and other accoutrements. A blue bird rests atop the guillotine. There is a female capybara next to it knitting a Doctor Who scarf. Some capys are wearing berets. Others and singing (presumably "Les Mis"), and one is lapping up blood from the ground.

#capypril 16 “Best Thing Since Slided Bread”

people have been slicing bread for a long time, so there are a lot of things we could highlight. For instance, the Doctor Who scarf the Tricoteuse is working on.

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin #capybara

A surprisingly sad, slightly sepia capybara and bird eating a single piece of sheet cake with one candle. There are other tables and people in the background barely rendered, suggesting a cafe. The signature has a happy exclamation point.

#capypril 15 “Piece of Cake”

The astute observer will notice that capy, bird, table chair and plate are borrowed from Capypril 13: “Pie In The Sky” — and then just rendered differently. Efficiency! Saving actual minutes!

#capypril2026 #capybara

A wildly inaccurate dinosaur is eating someone, he looks a little embarrassed to be discovered. Flora and fauna are inspired by Rousseau. There's a gorgeous sunset.

Tillamook Sardine Yogurt. I did shamelessly trace the Tillamook logo rather than redraw it. Corporate logos want to be free, or something.

A very nice stuffed tiger eating a human hand.m

A porcupine it sitting on a featureless void of ocean green. He is eating green ice cream from a cone. Behind him is a discarded ice cream cone with pink ice cream. Above, the text "Porcupines Prefer Pistachio" in green.

#repostyourart 14 "yummy"

I have a fair bit of yummy art.

In the lower right, a capybara attempts to snuggle with a less willing capybara. That capybara's bird friend proceeds to crap on the affectionate capybara to rescue his friend.

Alternate version, which doesn't really fit "peas in a pod" as well, but it Just looked like our capybara friend was cheating on his bird friend.

Perhaps bird friend should have just joined them?

In the lower right, two capybaras snuggle against each other adorably. A jealous bird proceeds to crap on the lighter colored one.

#capypril 14 "Peas In A Pod"

Bird-friend does not seem to be taking this development well.

#capypril2026 #capybara

I may have grown up with lead, but my brother would pull flakes of lead paint off the windowsill and eat them like potato chips, giggling that he was damaging his brain.

He voted for Trump three times.

A capybara and his bird friend enjoy a slice of pie at a small cafe table on the back of a whale, which is flying over a small city. There is a rat shaped car on the road, and some brown quadruped by a pool.

#capypril 13, “Pie In The Sky”

Going very literal on this one. Not sure where the rat car came from, it just kind of appeared.

A digital drawing of a raccoon wearing a Cleopatra poking out of a trash can, with an open bag of Doritos in her mouth. Another raccoon is baring his teeth.

#repostyourart 12: cozy

This was for a nice little art challenge based on puns, in German, which I do not speak. Cleopatrash (Panda). She looks very happy in her trash can.

Is Robotman-X a knockoff, or am I about to go down a rabbit hole of learning about G2 Jumpstarters?

(Moments later) At least it was a short rabbit hole.

A capybara is reading a book with a green cover with yellow text. The text reads “not smut” so that “not” will appear on the back of the book and “smut” will appear on the front. It’s terrible design for a cover. Birdfriend is looking at the back cover, very disappointed that it is presumably not smut. The style is bold colors and shapes overlaying each other to create the cartoony image. All shapes have a texture, allowing bits of the later below to peek through.

#capypril 12 “Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover”

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin

It's always a little annoying when someone who is in an art class is better than me, who has taken no art classes.

I don't want to face that my shortcomings might be fixable with hard work! Waaaa!

(This is excellent by the way)

The biggest problem isn't children in adult spaces -- it's adults in children's spaces.

I don't have a solution to that, but none of the age verification ideas even begin to address it. Instead they are all based on throwing away anonymity for roughly nothing in return.

Very loose, quick sketch of a capybara holding a cookie in his mouth. A bird is trying to break it with his beak. This is colored just with flats. There are two sketches of the bird and the cookie in different poses. Echos of his past cookie breaking attempts or additional doodles trying to work out his pose? The latter, but we can pretend the former.

#Capypril 12th, "Tough Cookie"

Nothing that I did based on this thumbnail sketch was nearly as good as the thumbnail itself. That capy is perfection, near as anything can be.

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin

A capybara faces away from you, showing his butt. He’s looking over his shoulder with a bashful, expression and blushing. On his back is a blue bird, who is bending down to look at his butt.

#capypril 10, “Hit The Hay”

This is more of a prelude to hitting the hay.

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin

A crow in religious garb (loosely Christian, but of the “I have no idea what they really wear” variety) floats in the air with rays of light coming out behind her. A bunny, a pig and a capybara all witness. This was drawn with the lasso tool and the carbon stick brush in procreate, so all shapes are rough and poorly filled in.

#repostyourart 8 - light

“The Ascension of St. Corvid”

I guess this is also bonus ancillary capybara content for #capypril.

A capybara is stuck in a salt shaker. His bird friend is walking behind, and looking concerned. There is a small amount of texture applied for the grains of salt, but everything else is flat colors and there is no lineart.

#capypril 9, “With A Grain Of Salt”

A friend saw me working on this in a coffee shop, and seeing it upside down thought the capybara was in a blender. So, there’s that.

#capypril2026 #artsky

I think it’s entirely fair to judge a book by its cover.

A capybara riding a bright red shrimp. The shrimp is bucking and trying to throw him off, and he has lost his hat. The capybara’s bird-friend is flying nearby. There are shadows of other shrimp in the background.

#capypril 8, “Blessing In Disguise”

If you could actually identify the blessing, it wouldn’t be a very good disguise, would it?

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin

A capybara and a bird are in spacesuits on the moon. There is a lunar lander behind them, with two windows that resemble eyes. The bird is saying “I’m done, can we go now?” as he is (wait for it) … over the moon.

#capypril 7, “over the moon”

#capypril2026 #eastcoastkin

A drawing of a bird. Largely blue.

#repostyourart day 6: bird.

A playing card, the jack of hearts, featuring a capybara dressed as a South American revolutionary. He has a bird friend.

#capypril 6th, “not playing with a full deck of cards.“

#capypril2026 #artyear

A bird is in the foreground, laying an egg -- he is sweating because he is working hard. A capybara is behind him, painting another egg with a large brush -- his tongue is sticking out, because he is working hard. There is an Easter basket with two eggs, a peep and a chocolate bunny -- the bunny has a terrified look on his face. I've always thought of bird friend as a boy -- he's evil in a boy way. His egg laying suggests either an Easter miracle or a complicated gender.

#capypril 5th, "put all your eggs in one basket"

Happy Easter!
