A digital illustration of a hooded figure holding a horn and some charms. They stand in front of a large stone chalice. Above are a pair of tattooed arms, one hand is pulling the skin off of the other, revealing sinew and bones. The de-gloved hand drips a thick stream of black liquid that is filling the chalice. Behind the figure, a volcano is erupting.

A final drawing for 2025.
These stopped being daily, but I'm proud of having managed to draw 129 of these this year. Looking forward to drawing just as much, if not more in 2026.

A drawing of a vaquita and a baby calf drawn by the amazing KaseySnowArt.

My friends, it's time to #SaveTheVaquita!
The Vaquita is the world's most critically endangered marine mammal, with less than 20 left alive.

But together, we can do something about that!
Join me on twitch to raise funds for @porpoiseorg.bsky.social and raising awareness for gorgeous animal!

A digital sketch of a woman-like shape made of gnarled wood, flesh, and flowers. The majority of the upper half of her head hollowed out and missing. In a void in the figure's back, the face and hands of a woman peers out, cold eyes looking at the viewer.

A digital sketch of a nightmarish elk made of humans, bone, and gristle with its head raised toward the sky. A four armed figure wearing a helmet holds up a small object that looks like a foetus.

A digital sketch of a person holding up a gnarled staff to ward against a large horned and feathered creature and several other humanoid creatures.

A digital sketch of a 3 armed woman. Between her palms is the brightly glowing form of a cat. Erupting out of the cat are various flowers and plants. The woman is a teal colour, and the flowers are a warm purple.

I'm so humbled and honoured by all the incredible folks who supported us today!

We smashed through almost half of our planned goals for the month, and most importantly, we're going to make some tarot-inspired cards!

Here's what we did today - video game bosses by description only!

A mockup screenshot from the Game Jam game I'm working on. There's a small cobbled together shack with a sign that says "Risky's Biscuits". There's also an apartment building and each window has strange creatures or different things on the building.

Hey friends,
It's the last day to work on the #gamejam!
Let's get more assets and a splash screen done!

See you in 10 minutes on twitch!

A photo of the sky and pools of water on pockmarked limestone. The water in the pools reflect the sky and clouds above. in the distance along the horizon, a shoreline covered with trees, cottages, and a large ferry boat can be seen.

Had a great 4 days away from work, computers, and for the most part, away from my phone.

But now that I'm back, it's #gamejam week!
Making on a game with @xekedeath.bsky.social.
I'll be sketching ideas and making sprites all day.

A brush and ink illustration of an astronaut in a trance, helmet off, and sitting cross legged with a mysterious stone in their lap. Surrounding them are objects and creatures made up of an amalgam of fleshy and mechanical parts. The creatures seem drawn to the astronaut and the stone, closing in around them.

A woman made of and surrounded by limbs, faces, body parts, and creatures. She is wearing an elaborate headdress that includes feathers and ornate decorations, and is holding a wand or sceptre made of flesh. Various details on her include: - wings made of tentacles and eyes - a monstrous chitinous tail with human fingers that line the underside - some very large slugs - a wolf-like beast's head with multiple eyes being supported by human hands - a three-eyed crocodilian head that contains human heads within its mouth - a smiling horned imp-like creature with an axe

A brush and ink drawing of a person wearing an ornate helmet within a frame made of monstrous body parts, stone, and some foliage.

Hey friends,
I'm finally taking a mini vacation from work with family.

While I'm gone, I'll be playing over 120 hours of re-runs for the next 4 days on twitch!

Feel free to tune in, relax, and watch past Carson work on these illustrations:

A collage of photos of our cat Nemo. He was 17.5 years old at the time of his passing. The photo text reads Nemo Nov 9th 2007 - Jun 19th 2025

Exactly 2 weeks after losing Kiki, we've just had to say goodbye to Nemo as well.

Our oldest cat, Nemo. He's very low energy and 17.5 years old. He has jaundice, liver failure, kidney failure, and potentially tumours in his liver as well. Given his age, treatment is likely completely out of the question, as it would put so much stress on his body that we'd likely lose him immediately, so he's in palliative care until the day he isn't.

Hey friends,
Taking it day by day with our oldest cat - Nemo (more details about his health in the alt text) but I want to get some work done, so we're going to do a short drawing stream.

See you in 10 minutes on twitch
twitch.tv/carsondrewit

I know I've already asked so much from this amazing community, and I know that the outcome was not what we were hoping for.
But I could really use some help paying for the hospital charges from her final days.

A photo of our cat Kiki, a ragdoll cat. She sits majestically and proudly on top of a cat tree platform. The text overlaid on top reads: Kiki June 27 2014 - June 5 2025

I've been MIA for the last week or so.

On June 5th, at 4pm we had to say goodbye to Kiki.
@theladymea.bsky.social helped me make a post on our Ko-fi page with more details about her final days.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us these past months.

It's been about 14 days since our last update, so here's a new one and an old photo of Kiki from 2022.

Kiki Update - Post-Radiation Therapy CarsonDrewIt published a post on Ko-fi

#kikiupdate
It's been a couple weeks, but Kiki is finally finished with her Radiation Therapy!
I've made a full and detailed post over on Ko-fi
ko-fi.com/post/Kiki-Up...

A photo of our cat Kiki taken in 2021, sleeping comfortably on Mea's pink office chair.

#kikiupdate
I promised I'd share if things changed at all.
Today's not going very well.

I've shared slightly more detail in a new post on ko-fi.
ko-fi.com/post/Kiki-Up...

I realise my post is pretty grim, so to try and lighten the mood, here's a photo of her from 2021.

A photo of our cat Kiki, taken this morning after she ate. Her fur along the front of her mane is wet and matted due to her inability to groom herself, her left eye is scabbed and sealed shut by dried mucus that has been leaking from her eye due to the tumour taking up space in her upper sinuses. Thankfully her appetite has been good as long as she lets us administer her pain medication. She's also been getting an anti-nausea med which has been helping her feel more comfortable. We're hoping to get her cleaned up while she's at the hospital today for her radiation therapy, since they need to put her under for the treatments, which will make cleaning her face up a lot easier, since she won't let us get near her face at all due to the pain.

#kikiupdate Today's the day we start Kiki's radiation therapy. We'll be driving there 4 times a week until her treatments are done.
Genuinely hoping her treatments go well.

There's a slightly more detailed description of how she's been doing in the alt text of the photo.

A digital sketch of a four armed woman, she has multiple wings growing from her body, and a feathered growth on her head with 6 glowing eyes. Above her head floats a strange chakra-like structure above a thin crescent shape.

Thanks again for everyone's support in helping us pay for Kiki's CT scan, I tried to start messaging folks and then got very overwhelmed.
I'll try again tomorrow, but know that I'm so very thankful for all the help ❤️

I'm completely humbled and overwhelmed (in a good way) by all the support everyone has shown us today!
We're back home now.
She has a tumour in the upper part of her sinuses, it also seems to wrap a little around the top of one eye.
Waiting 24hrs or so to hear from the oncologist.

A photo of our cat, Kiki. She's a purebred ragdoll cat. Her sinuses are swollen due to a mass in her sinuses that have caused her to have to breathe through her mouth, and can barely open her eyes. She's trying to rest on the cat bed on my desk after being given some pain meds.

Hey friends,

I never do things like this, but I need some help.
This is Kiki.
I'll elaborate and explain in replies, but the short version is we need help to get her a CT scan.
I've started a Ko-fi to offer compensation for any help folks can provide.

#dailysketch Day 44
#art #illustration

It's definitely the most vibrant thing I've made yet as far as this series goes. Might return to b&w in future drawings, but I've been having fun experimenting with colour for these recently.

If you can, financially support your marginalized friends NOW (ESPECIALLY Black women) so they can pay for whatever procedures they may need or medical supplies they need to stock while they are still legal and available.

Women, trans folks, and disabled people have to act now.

Going to try and draw for the first time in a week since I needed to take a break from everything.

Starting light with just a short 2 hr stream to see how I feel and hopefully relax my nerves.

An armoured knight and their squire exploring a strange location full of broken pillars and gigantic gravestones. There are sculptures worn down by time that now look otherworldly and disfigured. A large ornate head of a creature or machine rests in front of them, cradled by golden hands. Fungi and organic matter is growing out of the top of the giant head. Two armoured people look on from the shadows, a harpoon gun readied in the hands of one of them.

Here's something more recent

This is the last traditional painting I finished.

Ink and watercolour painting of a woman encased in a large "suit" made of flesh and bones. She is holding a large scythe made of bone, rock, and wood as well as an ornate glowing lantern. She stands in front of a large stone medallion with symbols and a serpent carved into it, suspended by a mass of tree branches.

Feels good to be posting somewhere without ads or all the extra bs.
It's also so inspiring to see everyone's excitement and posts as well!
I've never been great at posting on social media, but I hope you like what I share!
