'The Snowy Morning'


A shot out my back yard from right at sunrise this morning, with the snow deep enough to make the road disappear at this point.

Given we didn't get above freezing, it's still there right now.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap, no-name 35mm f1.6 manual, native-mount prime lens mounted to it, and this time I used a Polachrome sim because it seemed more appropriate for the scene being shot.

This is my first actual test shot with this lens outside of digitizing artwork. This snowfall actually gave me a good reason to try this lens for actual photos and see how it does.

I'm going to say it now, no-name manual lenses are a completely viable new option especially for prime lenses, as far as anything native-mount goes.




'Snowdrift'


A photo of my back yard after the snow stopped falling for the night; the entire place is covered in snow for the first time in four years and I love it!

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted on it, and I applied a Polaroid PX-680 Cold 5++ film sim to it, because Polaroid cold sims look cool for stuff like this.

'Fresh Snowfall'


This is a nearly four-year-old photo from the last time we got any significant snowfall here. This was also shot through an E-M5 which sadly has long since died from sticky-shutter syndrome; I'm still kinda sore about that as I loved that camera....

Also, this was from before HPS street lights started getting phased out in favor of LED replacements so there's a bit of an orange tone that I had to correct for.

I also used a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens adapted to it; the same lens I've been using adapted to an EOS Rebel T3i lately.

'Pichu Plays with Letter Blocks'


A chalk drawing of Pichu playing with letter blocks in her playroom, spelling her name out with them. Behind her is a Pokeball inflatable and there's varying artwork on the wall.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it, as since this was drawn on a massive sheet of cardboard (this is the biggest chalk drawing I've done in years), the Lumix GF2 with its prime lens wasn't going to work like it does with smaller works.

'Art Smash with Cream and Tails'


A watercolor and watercolor crayon painting of Cream and Tails making winter collages in their own version of 'Art Attack.'

Scattered on the table are various pieces of construction paper with bits cut out of them, cotton balls which are used for clouds and for snow on Cream's trees, and scissors and glue.

Cheese and Chocola also joined in to pose for the fictional camera.

The background is an 'Art Attack'-style set with various art supply props posed on it.

'Cream, Cheese, and Chocola's friendship art'


An oil pastel drawing of Cream, Cheese, and Chocola making mixed-media friendship art. Cream is making purple handprints while Cheese sticks down a paper cutout of Chocola's face and Chocola fingerpaints.

Scattered about the art table are a styrofoam tray of purple paint Cream is using for her handprints, various pieces of construction paper with bits cut out, a pair of scissors, a bottle of purple paint, and a bottle of glue which has been spilled out some.

In the background are a pair of handprint canvases, one being pink, heart-shaped, and made by Sonic and Amy, a fingerpainting, and wall art of a Chao's head.

This is also my first attempt at drawing a Sonic character in my current art style.

'Bunnies' Cardboard Gingerbread House'


An acrylic painting of a white bunny making a cardboard gingerbread house and a brown bunny just chilling next to her.

Scattered about the scene are four pieces of cardboard which have had pieces cut out of it for the gingerbread house, two pieces of blue card stock for the roof, a piece of blue construction paper for the window, and a piece of red construction paper for the door, as well as red and green pompoms and white tinsel which has had pieces cut out of it to simulate snow, as well as a pair of scissors and a bottle of glue which has spilled out a bit. I also added some Duplos in the background that the bunnies had been playing with earlier.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap, no-name manual 35mm f1.6 native-mount prime lens mounted to it.

'Pichu and Dedenne's Christmastime'


A mixed-media painting of Pichu and Dedenne holding paws in front of the tree after playing with their Christmas toys. Scattered in front of them are crayons and paper for Dedenne, which he had been drawing with, fingerpaints and paper for Pichu, which she had been painting with (Spiky-ears is a girl at least as far as I've seen in discourse), and Duplos between the two of them. Dedenne's right paw is smudged with paint as the result of Pichu having been fingerpainting earlier before holding paws.

This was painted with Arteza brush pens and Crayola Signature watercolor crayons, and was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a no-name 35mm f1.6 manual, native-mount prime lens mounted to it.

Sure! I actually got plenty posted both on Friendica and on Pixelfed and Mastodon already as well. (repost because the original got screwed up when I tried to add alt text, plus I added some more art as well)


'Pikachu Family Holiday Art'


A crayon drawing of the Pikachu family making holiday art. Pikachu painted a snowy daytime scene with a tree in it and is showing it off for the fictional camera, while Pichu is painting a snowman set against a night scene, and Raichu is making a paper tree. There are various art supplies scattered on the table with glitter spills of assorted colors as well. In the background is a paper tree decorated with pawprints, a pawprint antler reindeer, and a paper snowman.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap M4/3 35mm prime lens mounted to it that I'm going to be messing around with for the foreseeable future when photographing any more art.

'Block City'


A mixed-media drawing of Hamtaro, Bijou, and Penelope playing in Mega Bloks laid out like a 'city' of sorts.

This was drawn using Crayola markers and Arteza brush pens, with watercolors also layered onto the characters and for Hamtaro and Bijou's eye reflections, and was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f4.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it, and I added a Polachrome sim filter to it.

'Snowball Fight'


A mixed-media painting of a pair of squirrels engaged in a snowball fight with a third just chilling next to a tree.

There are a couple snowmen in the scene too.

This was painted with watercolor and then I layered crayons on top of that, including glitter crayons in attempt to simulate shimmer from sunlight reflecting on snow, and I went with a purple sky because I thought it was cuter than a gray sky.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens and it had a Polachrome sim filter applied to it.

'Festive Art Time with Pichu and Raichu'


A marker and watercolor crayon drawing of Pichu and Raichu making a winter-themed collage collab featuring themselves engaged in a snowball fight in their playroom. They're surrounded by assorted colors of construction paper that have all had shapes cut out of them, and there's also two pairs of scissors and a couple bottles of glue next to them, both of them having been spilled out on the floor.

I also gave my new watercolor crayons a try for this one, in addition to using my Crayola markers.

This was drawn with a combination of Crayola markers and watercolor crayons, and it was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19.35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount lens mounted to it.

Hi! I'm Josh and I mainly like to draw cute art, mostly centered around rodents or bunnies with the occasional Pokemon or Hamtaro art.

My current fave drawing media are oil pastels, chalk, and crayons in any order, but I like traditional art in general.

This stuff is pretty good too, and here's some of my stuff as well.

The three Fediverse platforms I mainly use for art posting are Pixelfed, Mastodon, and most recently Friendica,



'Trimming the Tree'


A crayon drawing of a pair of pet mice playing in a tree as it's being trimmed. The brown mouse is playing in the tree while the white mouse is giggling at him in the foreground.

In the background are varying colors of tinsel and varying artworks that the mice's caretakers made over time.

There are also some ball ornaments of varying colors strewn about the scene.

This was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount lens attached to it, and I fired the flash for this one in an attempt to get the glitter crayons I used to show up in the shot.
