A more seasonal piece for Wyoryn. Skadi, the anthro snep, is nuzzling awake the feral tiger Mokka. Very cute names, and with the great amount of fluff at play I really couldn't help but make it a winter forest scene. Gentle warmth comes back in via the angled, pinkish morning light. The picture took a few attempts, but ...

For Crimson! I don't know if this is factually correct, but this picture might be my first time using duplicates to show movement . . . The task at hand was to show the downward impact, specifically on the front portion of the dragon's lower jaw. Sketched a lot of angles :)

For Alaster!
Getting back to inking after a long break was refreshing. I'd like to do it more often. I don't know if I'm the biggest fan of my default brushes and tools in CSP for it though!
The colours in this picture were also very fun. Jungles are full of saturated green, and art teachers ...
This portrait was commissioned by Kyro, the depicted Character's name being Snowpine. There are as many different types of characters in the fandom as there are furries, but I will credit Kyro with first giving me the idea of using one's character similarly to an "other-self" in meditation. (Yes, I'm a freak who meditates. Wa...

For Jenklin. I wanted to share this one separately because I felt particularly good about it. Tried to stick to the form principle more, so, keeping in mind whether I'm using Center Light vs Halftone etc, plus trying to remain consistent with the direction of the ambient light and trying to convey form as much as possible in ...

Between a full-body and a partial. Text at the bottom says "Sensation" on the left, and "Illusion" on the right. The words kinda just popped into my head on their own, probably due to the hungry vibe of the dragon.

This post is an exception to my usual order of posting, as it's going straight onto Patreon instead of Discord first. Though it also serves as a reminder to all my non-Discord Patrons that the Discord server contains non-Patreon content such as WIPs, sketches and art blurbs that don't make it on here besides being a place whe...

Before I present the piece, please be reminded I am approaching this with care and discernment, speaking in symbols rather than being overly literal. Maybe itโs cowardly to preface it like this, but I already know I am prone to mistakes. I want to educate myself as much as I am able to on my limited time.

Before I start on the picture, something I observed recently: When I took a riding lesson, the other people present were all women. Later on I googled. Apparently, women do gravitate to working with non-humans. One article I found, for instance, stated the majority of current veterinary medicine students to be female ( 2023-11-11 10:41:36 +0000 UTC View Post
To sell prints at Eurofurence, I needed to get a paper guillotine. The service I used printed everything on A4 sheets (about 8.3 x 11.4 in.) I also got A4 sleeves and backing board. The majority of what I was selling needed to be cut. Circa 200 prints + corrections makes about 300 cuts, which was a ton of work and didn't look...

Back with an artsier post. After a brief discussion on what can be said through a commission to the community, Fozu brought up the hurdles of in-person communication: While it is easy for him to use text online and be comfortable with established friends, the act of talking to unfamiliar people in person is not. To paraphrase...

A heckin experiment. If I remember right, one of Coalโs friends pointed out the futurist vibe. Though the vibe is faint. As an afterthought, I might like to research and adapt some of the methods modern painters used back then. Already reading Kandinsky :3c

Thank you to (REDACTED) and Vulniir for commissioning me for these. Theyโve been helpful in getting back to the working rhythm after the interruption :)

Pictures included beyond the first are not necessarily in order.
1.)
All content showing nudity (one painting and two photos with my prints in them) has been removed due to Patreon's (idiotic) updates regarding non-human genitalia. It was artistic nudity only, but I want to be safe. Go to my SubscribeStar if yo...
Recently, I haven't been filling up when opening for Patrons. This may be due to my notification system. I always use Discord, but that's only one place! So, feel free to make suggestions ^^ Here's the link to the commission form:

I wasn't feeling well at the end of May. To heal from grief, a week-long vacation had been undertaken - that much had been a success. Hadn't earned much money since though, and didn't feel like my job was giving me as much of that personal enjoyment of art as it ought to. If I was growing, I was getting too big for my own ski...

I struggled with this one. So many sketches and ideas, so many changes in direction. But the image shows it better than I can say. Sometimes you try to push yourself, but all you manage is to hurt. The older ideas were meant to be more ferocious, maybe even painful (for Theo, November seems to be fine :) I decided that what t...

Here are two sets I made for Xiong'ma and Bellicose. Moved away a bit from the big abstract background shapes, but still trying my best to exaggerate well :)

For the most generous and supportive Kyro! Maybe I will settle on a style one of these days. But the caricature itself I cannot get enough of.

I do often look for a personal connection in work - whether that be nsfw or sfw. Most of the time, I'm entrusted with very fun ideas, and I would like a more even balance with conversational and sincere pieces like these.
The piece featuring Vibrato (TheRussBuss) is about committing to change. He approached me with the...
Remember remember, the comm for November. For more than a month, this piece lay nearly finished in my folders. Editing is usually a bothersome affair for me, but this was actually nice to push to the finish line. He made it easy.
As you can see there were more than the ordinary amount of pose sketches. Looking back I ...
With more on the way already, these are the ones I managed to finish this month. To be honest, I could have done more. But I wanted them to be *better,* and that meant sometimes drifting off into something like painting. Gotta figure out where sketching ends and painting starts for the 50th time, haha.
Before I go on ...
I need to make an exception, I fear. Usually my Patreon buffer is pretty long, but these have a lot of potential to help me grow my audience - so I'll be releasing them pretty soon. As family support will be cut this summer I want to do whatever I can to ramp up demand (Marketing is not my strong suit), and I'm honestly proud...

Before I dive into the context of this picture, I just want to explain the title.

I hate money, but this is a great way of making it in an uncomplicated way. Artistic Freedom means that I choose perspective, pose, light, and even the style. These aren't quite in pr0nological order. It started with the anthro one for hitthemafia, where I got confused, took lots of pictures in the mirror and painted a little...

Note the title's touch of bdsm. Kyro's supportiveness recently manifested in a voice call in which he ordered me around this picture in a relieving way. Having improved since the bumpy beginnings, I was frustrated and stuck. So the client himself had to tell me what to do and how far to finish it. And it worked. I fell into a...

After completing Tonitrux' picture, I was eager to go just as far with the following project - a coloured and unshaded sketch of Doven wearing, well, what he is wearing. Due to a small communication issue, I created two versions - which do you prefer? The original would be the one with the darker shirt.

The second prize of my December raffle went to SanguineDerg, who purchased the additional liquids. In creating the image, I followed a similar structure as I do now with artistic freedom pieces, making it easier to complete.

These sets go to Bellicose and Kitava (Mathias.) In both packs, I tried to distort the character's face more than I have done with previous stickers. Going from Kitava to Bell, I also introduced colourful shapes to support the mood the sticker might be trying to convey.
Which are your favorites? Mine would have to be ...
Here is my first official no-communication Artistic Freedom commission! I immediately realized how much I like this system, but I think I need to refine the actual commissioning process for them. The lack of WIPs however is bliss.
What I wanted to note about this piece is that Toni requested to have me interpret his c...
