July 2023 Illustrations *˚⁺‧͙ ✧⁺‧͙。
🕑 Added 2023-07-31 21:00:03 +0000 UTCThe "Leafy" theme is complete! I wanted the viewer to feel like they were there, among the leaves. A sort of 3D affect! Did any of the images feel 3D for you?
"Leafy" Theme Poll Winners:
- Margay (Tree-Dwelling Wild Cat) - 69 Votes
- Red Panda - 58 Votes
- Archaeopteryx Dinosaur - 56 Votes
Congrats to everyone who suggested a winner!
Okay, so, concerning recent poll bugginess--I reached out to Patreon, and their support team said they are aware of an Android bug that affects choosing multiple answers in polls. No ETA for a fix yet, unfortunately. If you'd like to vote for multiple animals, it may work on another device if you have one available (i.e. a PC, laptop, or ipad) Thank you for your patience!
What was your favorite drawing this month?
I ended up writing about anxiety a lot, I just realized. The summer brightness and heat is very overstimulating! I also don't sleep very well during the summer months.
How do you feel about summer? Enjoy it, indifferent to it, struggle through it? I am counting down the days to October.
Also, completely unrelated but I wanted to share:
There's a coyote puppy in our neighborhood!! SO CUTE.
We don't have pets or chickens or anything, so having coyotes nearby is nice rather than worrisome. They sure do like yodeling in the evenings!
I look forward to drawing more kind cuties in August! We're one step closer to Fall, thank goodness.
I hope the rest of your day treats you well. ♥
Until Next Time,
Kate

Although I love red pandas, I think the pond is my favourite. There's just something beautiful about dark water. But the sleepy cat sticker is very cute, too. I totally understand about summer - I don't like it either. Luckily the last week or so has been not too hot and rather rainy; just the kind of weather I love. I'm also looking forward to October (birthday and holiday month!)
The red panda one really sticks out to me. I think the up close leaves blurred look extra good in this piece.
Summer is so brutal. Mostly my fibro hates intense changes in barometric pressure and temperature. I personally love autumn the most!
