Here be Dragons and Whatnot

Digital speed painting of Avira the dragoness. She is laying on her back with all four paws int he air. Her wings are half-folded with the feathers framing her body. One paw is held outward where a blue butterfly rests on a delicately offered claw. her fuzzy tail snakes behind her, and her vibrant indigo belly scales glint fuscia in the light.

Continuing to play around with a painted style with the specific goal of being fast enough to be a feasible commission type. This particular speed painting approach wasn't it, but I think she came out nice enough to post!

I think it's the only way to go

Oh I need to look into that!! Especially since I think you can cross-post between Bluesky and Mastodon 🤔 I've got a couple friends on a dragon server over there, so maybe I should hop over :D

Yeah, I've wondered if it makes sense to be on FA if I intend to stay a SFW artist 😅 I feel like it used to be the center of the furry internet and I like how old-school the site feels, but I wouldn't want it to be my only gallery site.

Artists who maintain multiple accounts on various art sites, where else are you posting? I'm thinking I need to diversify beyond just Bluesky, but I'm not sure where else to go. I post enough furry stuff to merit an fA, I think? And is Cara still a thing?

Documenting everything can feel like such a chore when your queue is backed up. Especially when your socials evolve from, "look what I made!" to updates on client work. That being said, I bet all of us would delighted to see even quick snaps of your work ❤️

I'm on CSP now; I went from Photoshop to Krita to CSP and my Ps brushes got lost in the shuffle

I had no idea they looked like this! :D

Thank you!! 💜

I went from Photoshop to Krita and their brush engines are very different from one another

Oh thank you!! Will do 😁

This is an instantly-click-follow kind of artwork :D the contrast with the gold and black is so beautiful!

Well that was an instant follow! Thanks for reposting :D

Sketchy digital bust painting of Avira the dragoness' new design. Her fur is a dark grey that fades to deep charcoal on her snout and ear tips. A blaze of silver runs down her forehead and frames her eyes which are a vibrant indigo violet. Her triple horns and neck scales are the same vivid purple with iridescent highlights in fuscia. She has a crest of charcoal fur that runs from between her horns down the back of her neck. Avira's mouth is open in a friendly smile, revealing silver teeth and a purple forked tongue.

Futzing around with a more painterly style, which used to be my favorite until I lost access to Photoshop (and hence my most beloved blending brush LOL). This is still pretty sketchy, but, I would love to keep developing this look <3

Oh that's so cool!! What's the job, if you don't mind me asking? (I would LOVE a painting job :D)

The softness of his face, I can't

Oooh I love the subtle textures! It's so toony and realistic at the same time

Child me would have been absolutely enchanted by you! And adult me as well 😁 I love the deep emerald coat! It looks so cozy

Ok, silly question but how are you making an easy screen recording?

Yeah it would really bother me to see such things without warning... especially since I like to browse while on public transit. I've had to unfollow a few folks who post/repost bikini-clad or even fully clothed but sensually posed characters because I can't be accidentally exposing people to that...

A blotched tabby cat painted in the particular style of 19th century oil paintings that featured exaggerated and large livestock. The extra-large cat has a very small head and legs and his body is very rectangular. In the background behind him is a pastoral scene with a mulberry tree behind him, and a smaller pawpaw tree farther off in the distance.

Finished commission for @pickalope.bsky.social's cat, Samson, in the style of those 19th century paintings of oversized rectangular farm animals. I was SO EXCITED to do one of these!! TYSM for commissioning me! 🧡
