A few more! Thank you very very much for sticking with me through Doggust! This is the first time I've done all 31 days. 🎉 I will continue to draw dogs in other months. Thanks again for all the kind words, and please tell your dogs hi for me.

The darker sheltie from before is pouring steamed milk into espresso to make some latte art of a dog. She has her paws on the table, brows furrowed in concentration. The background is bright yellow behind the negative space table.

The light brown sheltie is holding a dish bin. There's only one cup in it thankfully, because it is probably getting dragged on the ground and bonked into things as she goes.

A bull terrier with a light brown spot over their ears is sipping an iced sweet tea through a bendy straw. They're using a laptop on a round blue table. They are using a vpn because they know public wifi is not secure, even in dog world.

Doggust 31: Shelties. Summer Cafe. 🌻🥐 #doggust #doggust2025

A little modern coffee window, with red wood frame, and lighter wood counter, window, and stools. Inside a dark brown sheltie works a bright blue espresso machine. She's holding the portafilter willed with ground coffee in her mouth. Outside the window, a lighter brown sheltie in a blue apron holds a plate with a croissant in her mouth (amazing self control), offering it to a french bulldog patron. Foliage is reflected in the windows, and casts light blue shadows on the wall. To the left is a potted lacy tree philodendron on top of a cinder block.

Doggust 30: Coton de Tulear. New painting. 🪵 #doggust #doggust2025

A small white fluffy dog with a pencil behind their floppy ear is looking down at a messy sketchbook. They're in a messy painting studio. In the background is a blank white canvas on a brown easel. There's a drawing horse stand being used as a bench in front of it. There's brushes and water in jars nearby. Many sketches of sticks on newsprint are taped to the wall behind it. Everything in the studio is covered in colorful pawprints including a cup of coffee and jar of sticks. The dog has big splotches of paint staining their pristine white fur as well. Their studio window is open, safety first!

Hey Firefox users.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Doggust 29: Cavalier King Charles and Tibetan Spaniel. Latte hangout. 🍵☕ #doggust #doggust2025

A little brown and white spaniel with fluffy ears is sitting across from a little tan floppy-eared dog, with dark snout and a fluffy tail. They're in a cafe with antique-looking furniture. They sit in a fancy green and gold chair on the left, and darker emerald sofa on the right. Above them are many palm fronds and a big Boston fern. In the background between them is a big gold arched window. The dog on the left is leaning onto the table to peer happily at their matcha latte. The dog on the right has one paw on the table with their mouth open, as though they're relaying all the exciting happenings in their life. They have ordered a latte, that will probably be room temp by the time they finish talking.

As a true Finnish girl, her people's song is a full-throated sopranissimo metal scream. You just know that the ears of any bear in a half-mile radius are bleeding.

They're wearing a black bowtie, imply this is an important performance (good luck!) There are two more visible behind them. They're gold and brown in color with wheels.

Two small dogs are working at an ice cream station, with 8 flavors. The stand has blue and white stripes, with two types of cones, and cups available. The dog on the left is a white and brown spotted rat terrier. They're wearing an apron, and holding a cone with three scoops very nervously in their mouth. The dog on the right is a griffon bruxellios. They're brown with long hair around their snout that looks like a moustache. They're holding a green scooper with a peach colored scoop of ice cream in it.

Woohoo dogs on public transport! Archie approves!

Archie the muppet dog sitting on a green and pink plaid bag on the Oslo metro. He’s smiley. You can see some greenery outside the window behind him.

Doggust Day 18: Tornjak. An expert on their way to a conference. #doggust #doggust2025

A yellow train or bus window framed by blue. Inside in the center is a big fluffy white dog with brown patches. They are smiling have freckles above a blue nose, and are wearing a lanyard. To their left is the Havanese dog from a couple days ago, snoozing while holding a briefcase. Next to them just peeking out is a long snoot with glasses. On the right side foreground is a corgi reading a newspaper. The newspaper has a graph indicating that stocks are still not doing very well in dog world.

Thanks so much! The bricks were just painted with a mix of ash green and grey, but that area was more watery, so the lighter color came out a bit more green when I was messing with the saturation afterwards.

Last year was the first year I skipped Doggust since it started, because I was having my own personal Doggust painting the illustrations for The Day Leap Soared by @blairbraverman.bsky.social! It comes out in October aaAA! 🐶📖

Day 17: Alaskan Husky. Puppy Leap and Flame! #doggust #doggust2025

A dark grey puppy (Leap) with floppy brown ears, cream paws, tail, snoot, and a white spot on her forehead is reading a light blue book. She has an intrigued look on her face. Behind her is a floppy eared light yellow dog (Flame) in a big blue container. She's leaning her head out sideways to look at the book too.

Thank you! It's acrylic gouache, one half in square brush, and one 0 size round brush. And a lot of practice. Gouache is pretty fun and forgiving though.

Thank you! And I agree, the yellow interior is the one I painted second. Warm yellow light is definitely my comfort zone haha. The daytime scene was a push to try something new, and use pinks which are my least used color.

Doggust Day 16: Pomeranian. Part of the reason I like to do daily challenges is because it forces me not to overthink. Except when I do. Here's an example of me just repainting the whole thing at 8pm. #doggust #doggust2025

A small white fluffy dog, with their paws on the window sill of an arched stone window, in a stone wall. The window is framed with foliage, and dark leaves in the foreground. Their house in the background is filled with furniture, a pot of soup on the stove, a curtain, ladder, stool, and painting of a pomegranate. In this painting, it's night. The exterior is cool greens, and blue greys. The interior is bright yellow and orange.

The same painting but in different colors. It's daytime now, the exterior wall is yellow with dappled light on it. The interior is a dark magenta and red.

Doggust Day 15: Havanese. Unqualified and too small for this job. #doggust #doggust2025

A small tan and white dog sitting in a big office chair, framed by big office chairs in the foreground, on the other side of a conference table. They're in a corporate meeting room. On the desk are papers, a laptop, some blue post its and a pen. The dog has a blank look, as though they have no idea how they got here or what to do. The overall colors are teal and and ochre.

Doggust Day 14: Bavarian mountain hound. I love the shading on this dog breed. #doggust #doggust2025

A medium sized brown hound dog, whose head is a darker shade than their body. They're sitting in front of a tall bookshelf, and a short cabinet with a zz plant and elephant ear plant on top. There's a big square of yellow light falling across the dog's body and the lower half of the furniture. The room behind is dark. Everything outside the yellow light is a monochromatic-ish blue.

Red hat dog (Harley) looks looks up at a leaf. Blue hat dog (Blue) is sitting half inside a picnic basket eating a sandwich. Purple hat dog (Raya) is sitting and eyeing a pink birthday cake with 10 candles. Orange hat dog (Olive) is holding some yellow flowers in her mouth. Green hat dog (Autumn) is bringing in some colorful balloons. The scene is framed by lime green grass, and darker green foliage. There's confetti and bubbles scattered throughout.
