Brown alcohol ink is perfect for earthy, natural themes.
Tip: Use on Yupo paper to see how the ink spreads and interacts with the surface. Here I have paired it with pink 🌰

Baby, a Plush Baby Kitty (A closed plush species), sitting adorably on her pink polka dot pillow with one paw raised in hello. Baby is a cream colored kitty with brown points on her tail, arms, ears, and face much like a Himalayan cat. There is a cream colored diamond mark on Baby's forehead, big blue eyes looking up at the viewer. Baby is clothed in a teal bodice dress with a pink cherry blossom skirt that's trimmed in off white ruffles. There is a pink bow along the waist line that is adorned with matching blossoms and golden bells. Around Baby's neck is a pink rhinestone collar with matching bows on the tail and on top of Baby's sandy brown hair that's styled with a cute fluffy bangs. On Baby's right ear is a heart shaped key that's meant to open a yarn ball shaped locket that's hidden underneath the dress.

Crash the Dog, a pastel pink anthro dog, is sitting on a couch as they talk about the best Tamagotchi pet ever :')
My part of the Trade with @quesadillawizard.bsky.social :'D Thank you so much again for doing a trade with me :') #Art #TraditionalArt #AnalogMedia #Watercolors #AcrylicPaint #BrownInk
A pastel brown ink illustration of a plush doll cat named Tart who has baby blue eyes and lovely orange patches. She holding a bouquet of flowers in her spring dress. She is seriously the most precious character I had the honor to illustrate
An Art Trade with Ramona over on FA of her character Tart :'D I'm just overjoyed with how pretty she came out in the brown ink I've been playing with. I hope you love how she came out and thank you again for doing a trade with me :') #Art #TraditionalArt #AnalogMedia #Watercolors #BrownInk #Acrylic
Calliope Macabre in her original setting on what she looks like without the mask or longer skirt. She's a Golden tiger morph of the thylacine in an anthropomorphic style. Cali is decked out in a valentines day themed outfit given that was unleashed in February in the Pokemon Game. I still need to get that Human form designed soon..Also that hair color is being brought back again for her Pokemon Prom, it's too good to resist.
The latest in Cali's Sticker Hoard, a plump rainbow maned unicorn with a wreath of roses around its neck. We all need this unicorn.
Finally, we have THE BEANS sticker for Cali's hoard of stickers. It's a pastel pink paw print with a mint green backdrop.
I forgot to get these up on here :x Behold, Original Settings Cali without her mask and hat! #Art #TraditionalArt #AnalogMedia #Watercolors #Ink #BrownInk

Gads I am glad I took my sketchbook with me when I last had our car smogged @ the DEQ. The boredom was lifted a bit by a sketch. I added most of the color back home.

What's a Pokemon game without a pikachu sticker?! This pastel, sitting male pikachu with a blue scarf and happy blinking expression is scented lemons :3
A wrapped pink piece of candy with a hot pink heart center sticker!
A smiling strawberry with a happy bleep tongue poking out sticker!
Here we go, the rest of Cali's stickers! (For now anyways..) #TraditionalArt #Art #AnalogMedia #Watercolors #BrownInk
An insanely brightly colored chibi of my character, Calliope Macabre or 'Cali' for short. She does a sticker covered plague doctor mask with hot pink lenses. Upon Cali's rainbow tipped hair is a cat has as she waves feverishly happily towards the viewer. Cali's clothing consists of a rainbow speckled skirt, rainbow stripped leggings/shirt, blue gloves, a button up short sleeve in sky blue, and platform boots in rainbow colors. You will see a lot of rainbows with Cali...she would be at home in a Lisa Frank product. Cali has a hoard of stickers on hands since she is a licensed medical professional. The more stickers booped onto others, the more it's clear how much she likes that person!
A close up head of Cali! This time her hair is a toothpaste blue color and a rainbow turtle neck. She is confused or curious! Do explain this new concept to her!
A cute sticker of Raspberry Jam with a face displaying a side glance and blushing. Cali loves to boop stickers on others as a form of affection.
A surprised start with a rainbow trailing behind it! This is one of the stickers Cali has on hand :3
Here we go, getting up pieces of my little Cavity Queen, Cali :"D She's currently in a Pokemon RP game X3 #Art #TraditionalArt #AnalogMedia #Watercolors #AcrylicPaints #Ink #BrownInk
A limbless weasel with off white fur and a winter nose pink dressed in a plush fur trimmed blue plaid caplet. In short, a noodle of pure joy that needs more love in the Fearsome Critters category. This one, if it wins, will be getting a bendable armature inside so it can wrap around shoulders or arms.
A fluffy green pug looking dude with horns, barbed tail, spikes, claws, and an underbite a boxer would approve of. This Hodag is dressed in a red plaid shirt, a speckled scarf, and holding a bag of white bulldog chips since it's a Sunday. The Hodag is a Wisconsin favorite and answer to the Jackalope with possible ties to the fabled Babe the Blue Ox.
A Sturgeon-Fox hybrid looking little guy dressed in an olive green cardigan with an off white blouse and a green bowtie. The Fish Fox wears a cute puffed tan and brown plaid shorts. I'm still determined to convince everyone that sturgeons are clearly water foxes, it's a fact and a truth. If this one wins, it'll be a fully clay based doll and based on the Foxling body pattern.
Figured I'd run a vote on here too, which two out of the three would you like to see be made this Spring? #Art #TradtionalArt #Watercolors #AnalogMedia #BrownInk #Concepts #FearsomeCritters
The very first Brown Ink illustration Test of an old Character being revamped and the only one to have a hint of crayon texturing in the nose/pawpads. Victoria Chaucer is an Anthro Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in a pale green dress and brown accents. She wears a little green ribbon chocker (A reference to a well loved ghost story) with a locket on it. She'll be used in a side project called 'The Cardboard City', a mixed analog media storybook I've been toying with.
An Orange Tabby cat dressed as Bilbo Baggins from the 1977 Hobbit, holding Sting with hints of Smaug in the background. The cat in question is my sister's sweet potato boy, Lucifer :') This was a Christmas gift to her last year that I'm super pleased with.
My most recent one, the layout designs for some bug based dollhouse dolls that I'll be making in February. The first one, Primrose, is a Rosy Maple Moth and the highest voted doll on the polls on Tumblr. I have a lot of antique lace in my collection, so I figured that would work perfectly for Primrose's dress. The second one, Lycoris, is based on a home-brewed house cat sized species of jumping spiders called 'Jumping Gems' that's part of the 'Changes' setting. Her colors are based on labradorite and frankly, I've been dying to have a doll with bubble braids since forever. So this was a perfect opportunity to do so. The last one, Galeandra, tied with Lycoris and is possibly my favorite out of the three. Galeandra is an Orchid Mantis and let's face it, mantis naturally are perfectly elegant. I'm honestly wanting to make bigger ball jointed mantis dolls after how Galeandra came out, though that will have to wait.
One last post for tonight as tomorrow will be a work day on resuming the comic. I recently got a brown ink pen and have been playing about with it :') #Art #TraditionalArt #AnalogMedia #Watercolors #PoscaPen #Crayon #BrownInk
