And here are the pieces of art from the videos:

I’m back converting school essays into video essays! Take a shot every time I pronounce a French or German word/name incorrectly. Or don’t, if you value your health. I couldn’t get OBS and Photoshop to work at the same time, so there’s no speedpaint in this video. Here’s the uncropped final artwork though:

I Made a Zine!

Posted on January 27, 2022 by Nicki Chaput

It’s 2022! My last semester of college starts next Wednesday. I can hardly believe it. I wanted to share something I made last semester for my disability studies class: a zine! I’d never done anything quite like this before, but I’m super happy with how it came out. Check out a PDF of it here:

Art Fight

Here are the rest of my drawings from Art Fight 2021! I mostly stuck with anthro characters, how unexpected. I had a good time experimenting with slightly different styles and converting others’ characters into my own style.

I also sketched some friendly fire that I may end up completing at some point in the future:
