First proper art of 2024! I have some backlog from last year I need to set up with Postybirb and post but I don't wanna do it all first...

Meet Hearth the Tiba! Tibas are a species I discovered late last year, became a little obsessed, joined the Discord, and found a pretty dang cool bunch of people I'm very happy to have found who are not helping me with my adoptables habit but its fine shhh. Hearth here was designed by the species creator himself, MrTallyCat!

I haven't made fully finished personal art in... Forever. AND I did it because I was feeling it rather than a sense of obligation. Feels kinda nice.
