Comparing it to the other Northern Lights Bookmark I made I can definitely see improvement in my control of my paints.

The perfect color for a conversation heart candy with the first silly pun my brain came up with that would fit on it. Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, January 2025	For the January Color in Focus: Lilac. A cloudscape with some sparkly gold stars as a tribute to my friend and fellow streamer ToastedStars. Watercolor 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, January 2025

Watercolor, colored pencil, and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, February 2025	For the February Color in Focus: Red. This was an idea I had back in August when I was doing the sweetheart trio. My Capabarista has a daughter and I wanted to make something for her as well and it finally lined up with the color of the month! One of her favorite foods is lasagna and one of her favorite animals are tigers. Capybaras and tigers are both known for enjoying a soak so I put them in a lasagna hot tub! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, February 2025
This is a little drawing for a friend of their fursona: a raccoon with the colors of a latte! Someone mentioned dunking them in coffee and I thought of them lounging in the warm coffee.

Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, March 2025
For the April 2025 color in focus: Magenta. This color was so nice for a little heart and I thought having two lovebirds kissing with their face colors forming the heart would just be too cute! Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, April 2025	For the April 2025 color in focus: Magenta. Fuchsia colors fit this color so well and I was able to find a reference photo to really challenge myself with featuring both a bokeh light background (something I'd never tried to paint before) and water droplets (something I find perplexing to paint). Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, April 2025	Another one of my streamer friends DearMatto saw the latte art I did for my friend Sleepy and said he wanted one feature a cup of tea and I was happy to oblige! Digital, May 2025
For the May 2025 color in focus: Salish Sea. I ran into this bug by chance which happened to be serendipitous since it matched this month's CIF color so well! This will be added to the Bugnanza sticker packs! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, May 2025	For the May 2025 color in focus: Salish Sea. The color for this month reminded me of an ice cream I used to eat with my mom when I was little. It was bright teal and dinosaur branded. I remember it as having dinosaur shaped chocolate bits in it, but that may just be memory. Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, May 2025	For the May/June color in focus: Salish Sea. This color was such a great one for underwater and I had the perfect photo to use it for. This is a photo of a river otter I took at the Alaska Zoo and has always been one of my favorites. It was fun to transfer it to a new medium! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, June 2025

They made another version of their main sona with different coloring named Birch and I took the opportunity to attack that character too! Ink and watercolor, 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, July 2025
For Art Fight 2025: The Birthday Soup. A little drawing I whipped up for Sleepy to use on their birthday stream graphics! It counted as an attack too! Digital, July 2025	For Art Fight 2025: Flirty Fan Dance. This one is for my friend Rainb0wSheep of her character Kuro Bat which is inspired by her mod of the same name. Watercolor and ink, 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, July 2025	For the July 2025 color: Permanent Violet. Another bug for my Bugnanza collection! This time a beautiful butterfly. I find the orange and purple of the Agathina Emperor particularly striking. Ink and watercolor, 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, July 2025
For Art Fight 2025: Sweet Little Tea Party. This is a mass attack on ten different pokemon OCs, all based at least a little around some kind of sweet treat or tea! The first commissions I ever did were of pokemon so it was nice to get back to that. Digital, July 2025	For the July 2025 color: Permanent Violet. This was such a good color for an eggplant and a good excuse to work on more water droplets, which I still find difficult. I think this one will be a fun companion sticker and emote to my pickle done in a previous month. Watercolor, 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, July 2025	For Art Fight 2025: Prickly Phone Call. This is my friend Rainb0wSheep's character Shirley Sprout, who is the official secretary of stream. We had discussed Shirley's plant aspects turning into a cactus when she gets annoyed. There are four other characters as desk buddies here too! Digital, July 2025
For Art Fight 2025: Chaos. This is a friend RoboToast's character Frumpty Flowers - a little frog jester who uses balloons to communicate! Digital, July 2025	For the August 2025 Color in Focus: Butter. Another addition to my Alaska Stamp collection! This time a very rotund horned lark. Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025	For the August 2025 Color in Focus: Butter. A bug for my Bugnanza Sticker Collection! The pale tussock caterpillar has a very striking series of tufts on its back that are very reminiscent of a mohawk so I decided to make this one punk - with a little vest and doc martins! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025
For the August 2025 Color in Focus: Butter. Joining my Bugnanza sticker pack project is the booklouse! So named because they feed on the binding glue, but this one prefers to read, rather than eat, the books. Ink and watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025	This was a piece done as part of an art collab with my friend SleepyProcyon! We both painted an image off of the same reference of a raspberry.

Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025
A re-mix of the paleolothic hand art I did last August. This time in a size to use as a background on a product I'm working on behind the scenes.

Watercolor and gouache on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025	A sticker design I've had cooking in the back of my mind for a while. The three boba flavors are based off of what me, my boyfriend, and his daughter tend to order. Ink and watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper.	For the September 2025 Color in Focus: Rich Green Gold. Such a great color as a base for all these bugs! I had to get one of my personal faves the banana of the pacific northwest in here! Love a banana slug! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025
For the September 2025 Color in Focus: Rich Green Gold. Bagworms are known for their unique style of collecting cocoon materials which end up looking like a little stacked log cabin on their back - very reminiscent of a Baba Yaga house but with bug legs instead of chicken legs! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025	For the September 2025 Color in Focus: Rich Green Gold. You ever been rizzed by a stickbug? Would you like to?

Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025

Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025
It was time to update my Patreon tiers and their images. I decided to make a set of jelly bean flavors. The flavor in the shape of a bean! It goes great with the TundraKatieBean branding.

This is another one for my bugnanza project. Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, October 2025

This was such a fun project and Doodle's line art made it an absolute pleasure to paint. Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, October 2025	A little piece for one of my streamer friends BP722.
