A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a Xmas pickerel frog, sleeping in front of presents and a Christmas tree. The frog is gold/tan, with thick dark brown lines along their back and legs. Their red Santa hat is draped over a purple present with pink ribbon. Behind that to the left, is a blue present with a yellow ribbon, and a sparkly purple gift bag with pink tissue paper. Behind it all are branches of a Christmas tree, with lights and ornaments. The floor is green, with white writing under the frog that says “What frog is this, who laid to rest, under the tree is sleeping?”.

12/20/25’s WiP sketch, finished. *snort*sniffle*🤧🐸💜

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a hare, seated upright, facing left, with their head turned to the right and down. They are decorated all over with a pattern of garden daisies in white with pink tips and a yellow center, and ragged edged leaves in shades of green shading from light to dark. Their tail is a large daisy with the petals fanned out, and their eye is a daisy flower with the yellow center as pupil. Their whiskers are long stems with small daisy buds at the ends. Their ears are single ragged-edged leaves shading from dark in the center to light at the edges. Overall leaf tone is yellow green. Background is blank.

I finally finished my daisy hare from 9/9/25! The daisies were surprisingly difficult, and required several layers.
And I’m still slow from new meds.
But it’s finished! Yay! 😀💜💜💜

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a large white hare staring at the viewer face on, from the shoulders up. He has large red eyes with black pupils, pink nose and inner ears, tall ears that end ant the top corners of the drawing, and one front paw up on the border of the drawing, breaking through the border. He is wearing a wreath of poppies and a gold headdress, which is visible only between his eyes, a gold triangle with red cabochon stones. He also has a gold double earring connected by three gold chains in the ear on the left. The border is 1/2 inch wide, green, edged with gold, around the entire picture. At the bottom is an arrangement of red three poppies, green poppy leaves, and poppy buds that rise above the border in places, as if it is a window. All the poppies with visible centers in the drawing have gold stamens. A green ribbon-style banner edged with gold sits across the chest of the hare, the left bottom curl drawn over the border of the drawing. The banner reads KING HARE in red decorative uppercase letters (I developed this font based on a number of 19th century fonts, edged with gold. Within the border, the background is a soft green, with darker green-grey shadow outlining the hare and poppies. Hare and poppy reference from vintage postcards (1898-1915), personal collection.

I still have a migraine, and one or another of my many physical issues is causing, well, issues. But! I got King Hare done!

He is a very regal hare.
