Thank You!! And yes. Man there are so many times i just wanna bite things angrily like a muppet

And with these sketches we pretty much get to the most current form of JV. they kinda returned to that original fuzzy beast idea I had in 2019 with some twists. Thanks for joining me on thos history lesson for the #greenbeast#jv#oc#merrimon#monster#dragon#sketchbook

2023 JV pretty much had darker ears now and the stripes and I just kept messing with different styles for them. Loved messing with some video game-esque proportions with him. #jv#oc#sketchbook#merrimon#greenbeast

Some sketches of JV throughout 2022 playing with their forms and the way I draw them.

2021 saw JV getting more stripes because tigers were speaking to me and I wanted to bring back that dragon/monster form in his original sketches. Really pushed a lightning theme with it at first. #jv#oc#merrimon#greenbeast#sketchbook

As much as I tried to make JV more puppety I feel like he always kinda...didnt come off that way. Which is okay honestly. He was just a blast to draw and I was loving this new direction for me. #jv#merrimon#greenbeast#oc#sketchbook

JV was created in late 2019 and by 2020 the attempt at a human/puppet sona quickly turned monstery. Growing up I loved dragons I loved big teethy monsters and around this time I was also really diggin puppets with my bud @triniitea.bsky.social#merrimon#jv#greenbeast#dragon#sketchbook

found the original concepts for JV. Around this time I was feeling pretty lost. I felt like I'd spent years developing work that I thought others wanted to see. JV ended up being a sona and outlet to start reconnecting with what I wanted. #greenbeast#jv#merrimo#creature#puppet#sketchbook

More expressions of the greenbeast. Theres a thing where I just like gotta make a monster form for a character. Maybe it sticks maybe it dont. But JV always had a monster form from the get go. Oooh lets see if I can find the og JV #sketchbook#oc#dragon#creature#merrimon

How far these goobers have come, Im so proud of you and all of them. 🥹
