Da Boz 🦊🦁💕🐯🐺🦍

Hey Gang! So I'm looking to take 2-3 commissions...possibly more if I like the ideas enough. Please message me if interested to discuss pricing and all that Jazz...one of these years I'll have an actual pricing sheet for these things, but for now, let's talk! ~Boz

An orc I scribbled up quick one Christmas eve, I posted him with a long poem...only to realize several years later I never actually named him, he was just 'Christmas Orc'. So for this most recent rendition, I'm naming him 'Regthar Bloodmane', who still loves the holidays. #Orctober #Orctober2026

The second orc I ever posted online (I think) was Worzarg Hammerfury, the pic was of the hapless greenskin tied to a tree in nothing but his brief. I actually couldn’t even find that pic it’s so old, but found a rough sketch of him I never finished and worked from that. #Orctober #Orctober2026

For #Orctober this year, I kind of wanted to revisit all the orcs I've done over the years. Starting with Bozwazgar Blackforge, while not my very first orc, was the one I eventually identified with most. So much so in fact, I played him in a D&D campaign!

Kicking off the second day of #BoxingGorillaDay, we have a continuing match between Jim Bo'Nana & Boogruk. While Boog is probably one of the most easy going, and friendly fighters in my cast of 'rillas...he's all business when it comes to the ring. While formidable, Jim is no real match for 'ruk.

First, however, I'd like to share something that I've been meaning to finish for ages as a Thank You to @daboz.bsky.social for championing Boxing Gorilla Day since day one. It's an action illo starring his characters Bruiser and Frostbyte - and at last it is done. You *rock*, Boz! #BoxingGorillaDay

Uh oh, looks like that last punch might've finally been too much for Boz. This could be the end of the match..I mean it COULD be, not saying it is. #BoxingGorillaDay

Well... it looks like Ookrich's back to take part of the festivities - and he's preparing to properly go at it. No matter the sport you should make sure you're taking care of yourself after all! Done by the awesome Boz - they do great work! Love it! 🎨: @daboz.bsky.social #BoxingGorillaDay

We're back once again with the gorill behaviour, and it's immensely heartening to see that you've all been going great guns sharing oodles of fab Boxing Gorilla Day goodies in my absence. You rock out loud, folks! #BoxingGorillaDay

Chase Lovepunch, AKA 'The Pink Pummeler', can be a bit of a pushover when it comes to boxing. He's not especially skilled, and doesn't have the best track record when it comes to wins. But, hit him in the face enough, and he'll eventually get PO'd enough to land one good shot, as Slugger found out.

Moving onward to an ongoing #boxinggorilladay match between Bozrilla and 'Big Daddy' Marcus, that's been going on for...I forget at this point. Regardless, Boz can't seem to get any headway when it comes to delivering punches lately, as Big Daddy has the upper hand.

So starting off my yearly contributions to #boxinggorilladay , My first two boxing gorillas. Who're at the same time, yearly rivals, Slugger & Bruiser. Slugger can be bit of an underdog at times, but he holds his own in the ring...Meanwhile, Bruiser is the self proclaimed 'King' of gorilla boxing.

Continually coming up with new characters for the occasion (here we have, from left to right, Chase Lovepunch, Brent, Jim Bo'Nana and Frostbyte) and tons of cracking fight pics, @daboz.bsky.social has been one of BGD's staunchest supporters these past 10 years. Hurrah to you, sir! #BoxingGorillaDay

Remarkably, we're now less than a month away from Boxing Gorilla Day 2026; which, for the first time, will be taking place only on BlueSky during the last weekend in July - Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. Yes, we're well aware this means it's running across two days. Shush. #BoxingGorillaDay

Was just playing around with drawing Bozrilla awhile ago, ended up doing his back as well.❤️‍🔥🦍 APEril 2026

'This package is LIT!' Aperil 2026🦍 I'd actually started this when the first Mario movie came out, after seeing a clip of Donkey Kong using the fire flower. He was training with Mario, and I LOVED his look so much...was sad to see the scene got cut from the movie itself, however.

So kicking off APEril 2026 finally, with the customary Bozrilla TF 'freaking out as he realizes what time of year it is' fashion...you'd think I'd at least be used to it by now.🥴 💗🦍

Con Badges! I did these a year ago, just hadn't posted them. I did them for the LVFC con...but didn't end up going (got the jitters) BUT, if you're a con goer, and you see a big tiger who is oddly self conscious about the blue tuft of fur close to his crotch in suit wearing this badge - that's me!

Hey Gang! So I'm looking to take 2-3 commissions...possibly more if I like the ideas enough. Please message me if interested to discuss pricing and all that Jazz...one of these years I'll have an actual pricing sheet for these things, but for now, let's talk! ~Boz

Hey Everyone! Back in '06/07 I did a Christmas card exchange, and I'd really like to do that again with anyone who may be interested! I realize it's a bit late and they may arrive after the holidays, but regardless wanted to give it a go. Please send me a note if interested, & Happy Holidays!

At one point I was working on a pic featuring all of the Krampus' I've drawn over the years, if nothing else then to keep track of all these guys names. But here's a few favs, from left to right, Brawny, Valiant, Goliath, Bruiser & Roganthus #KrampusDay2025 #KrampusDay

Kicking off Krampus day 2024 on Bluesky ...least the one where I remembered to actually post something on here (sorry 2023) with my Krampus Bruiser/Burly. I honestly didn't realize I'd drawn him QUITE so much, this isn't even all of his pictures I came across...but they're my favs of him.

Well, wouldn't be an official Krampus day if I wasn't totally unprepared with something new on time. So for now, posting a ten year old blast from the past to Kick the day off. I forget what I named this guy, but was one of my person fav Krampus chars I've done over the years.. ✧-=☃=-✧

Xurukk & Razarg still underwater, 'Rukk leans in for a kiss as Raz shyly awaits it... 💚🌊💚 #Orctober Actually started this one before the other, just loved it so much got to work on the second one and finished it first.😅

Razarg and Xurukk Blueskull out for a swim for this years 'Orctober'...can't believe it's been five years since I featured this pair. Two orcs I drew 'earlier' on who eventually found one another, these two lugs have been together as a couple for quite some time.

So, given that this years the tenth 'round for Boxing Gorilla day, seemed only appropriate to celebrate with my original 4 punching primates... Slugger, Bruiser, Boogruk & Chase...many more were to follow, but it started with these guys! #BoxingGorillaDay

...and to go even FURTHER back into Bozrilla Vs Big Daddy boxing battle, here's some 'old' pages that feature the progression of the fight in order. still can't believe I didn't post these here, spent so much time on these dang things over the years😆 #BoxingGorillaDay 🥊🦍🥊

So it occurred to me, the many Bozrilla VS Big Daddy pics I've done for #BoxingGorillaDay, I've never actually posted them here... As well, while digging for all the finished works, it astounds me for every one pic I finished there's like...at least 10 I didn't for this series.😅 🥊🦍🥊

This exhibition bout is actually a rematch, as @omariape.bsky.social and @daboz.bsky.social's Boogruk first traded blows during Boxing Gorilla Day 2024. Now they're back to settle old scores via the fab arty skills of @mojangow.bsky.social, and the Boogster may have the upper hand! #BoxingGorillaDay

Greetings, good morning and WHAMMO! It's Boxing Gorilla Day Two 2025, and we've got *loads* more artwork to share featuring simian slugmeisters, starting with this groovy logo/poster hybrid by the majorly marvellous @daboz.bsky.social. And yup, this is the 10th BGD! Blimey, eh? #BoxingGorillaDay

They keep adding clothes to him and somehow it only serves to make him hotter...❤️‍🔥🦍

Hey all if you can give this a read that would be amazing. My life is in shambles right now and could really use some help gaining stability in my life again... ko-fi.com/beastdaddie for those who qualify for the chibi doll will be in a large collage when this all done! ♥️🐂

In the spirit of 'Boxing Day', just posting this here to wish my good friends in the UK a good one. ...though mostly for @amigasquare.bsky.social 😅❤️‍🦍 This pic features my ape Boogruk, receiving a special gift from his favorite boxer in the whole wide world, Beefeater.

I was in the midst of working on my yearly pic of Simba as Santa, when I realized...I haven't posted all those up on here yet. Would've had the new one for today, but been so tied up...well, not ACTUALLY tied up...just busy. God I'd love to be tied up right now, though Anyways, Merry Xmas ❤️‍🔥🎄❤️‍🔥🦁🎅

Coming in 'hot' with more gifts for Christmas (and whatever else really😏) Wishing everyone the best of everything today, tomorrow, and always!❤️‍🎄

So digging a bit father back into the 'Christmas Pics' vault, we have some of my favs from the 2010s' era. I've got new stuff coming too, just at the rate I'm going it'll be AFTER Christmas...but anyways, enjoy! 🎄

Kicking off Krampus day 2024 on Bluesky ...least the one where I remembered to actually post something on here (sorry 2023) with my Krampus Bruiser/Burly. I honestly didn't realize I'd drawn him QUITE so much, this isn't even all of his pictures I came across...but they're my favs of him.
