I'm 30 or 40 & tired of online pressure to state specific ages while that info is tied to security questions. I may post art, & have a separate ad*lt art SN. DMs are mutual only, but u can reply to any post to chat about whatever. https://boper9.carrd.co/
I dont know that one week of 0-50% of efficacy/absorption of my shot will mess with my cycle too bad (90% of why im on this, my gend*r id is independent of body comp) but I do know it'll mess up my anxiety somethin fierce πΆπ
Just messed up my T-s*ot like never before. The oil medium made the blood come out so quick & messy. No pain but such disappointment that it meant the h*rmone all came spilling out or is processed out of my system too fast. I dont like that I can give myself a messed-up-mood week from a skill issue.
Forgot to post here; Added some digital color to this! I'm not currently open online for color commissions but this is an example of a rendering/materials style you can point to and say 'like this one, please!'

An illustration with furry/anthropomorphic characters, of a gay couple and their friend sitting on a park bench. The ant man closest to the viewer is talking enthusiastically with his hands, but with a serious posture. A cropped out parent and child at the edge of the illustration wave a small rainbow flag, and a woman walks alonh a wide paved path in nature in the background, to indicate this is going on at a pride event at a larger outdoor park. The illustration is only partly colored in, and gentle paper tape holds down the edges of the paper it is on.
An illustration with furry/anthropomorphic characters, of a lesbian couple embracing on the floor of a bedroom, after painting the red eared slider girl's fingernail claws red. The two girls are both reptiles, turtle and snake, and they are surrounded by American Sign Language study materials scattered on the carpetinh around them. The illustration is mainly colored in, minus some finishing touches, and gentle paper tape holds down the edges of the paper it is on.
A picture of multiple pokemon fanart designs cut out with white borders inside of a plastic folder. They are temporary tattoos, which have a slightly sticky layer sandwiched between paper and cellophane, that would gum up an automatic cutting machine, and so they have to have been cut out by hand, with scissors.
Haven't been drawing much the past couple of days, but I've been coloring old ink work I printed out to traditionally color, & cutting out by hand a bunch of pkmn temporary tattoos for a trading card & vending event this weekend.
My desired subset of furry/anthropomorphic art is the group that are fauna fans, or ppl who are like bird watchers but for the whole of animalia, so I also try to study old reference drawings of animals prior to photos, where IDing details were more rendered. I.e. emphasizing the narrow jerboa foot.
Thank you! Studying the lion king paws back in the day really helped me understand the weighted and resting positions of cat paws, because of how they had been simplified, & helped me start to understand stylization of more realistic forms, & what tone the style can lend to a story that art conveys.
An illustration of a yellow house cat and jerboa hybrid, slightly anthropomorphic but with animal proportions to her paws, head, and torso, lounging in a large red T-shirt and reading something on her phone.
sometimes I remember i have a normy-type fursona left over from first making one in middle school (You know, one that isn't a hive mind mass of horsehair worms). Updating her with my current hair and glasses reminds me I neeeeed to get a haircut. May wait till my birthday for that tho.

Anon commission from an unnamed discord server, for some SamLyle ship art. The kisses are cute, but I think Lyle would go crazy for holding hands too, since they're the least Visitor-changed part of him. Ink commission; there's still 3 slots left!
Ear & Tail furries i know arting it up at the local live art event π
Slot 0226a taken!
Offering 2 busts and 2 thigh-up sketches, info in thread π§΅
A painting of several poses of the same short white man in white leather and white wash jeans, dancing vigorously, on a neon orange background. He has a kind of 'what if Ted N*gent was a tan trans man not afraid to get a little fruity(-er) while coked up' vibe.
Finally stitched a scan together of a 1.5'x2' painting I did last spring, inspired by The Sweet's song Little Willy.
A simple sketch of Blood and Vic from A Boy and His Dog (1975), with Vic saying "Blood, I may be stupid" and Blood replying in mind-speech "Normally, people have a follow up to that phrase..."
Little bit of sketchbook work

an ink and pencil illustration of Zig Zag, an anthropomorphic skunk with white tiger heritage showing up as black tiger stripes where a skunk is normally black. She is laying on her side in a tight fitting halter dress and is pointing a finger downward and at the viewer, with a playful but skeptical look on her face.
Many thanks to Maxblackrabbit and Eric W. Schwartz for all those hours reading Sabrina Comics in middleschool 2003-2005. Zig Zag was very much a ~clue~ during puberty, not just by being another Elvira-type I fixated on, but by being an openly bi character.

Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.

a sketch of Superian and The Tick fighting over Arthur Everest
a pencil illustration of Alice the Rabbit from Bloody Roar, in her beast form, taunting the viewer.
here are some examples of the top level of complexity I'm willing to do for these. Anything much more complex calls for my hourly rate, and that type of commission isn't on offer right now. Please comment or DM here on other channels you a linked with me on to ping me once you've sent an email.
Opening up for commissions, since I'm recently unemployed. 5$ standard shipping, 10$ insured and tracking number, contiguous US only. Skipping that, or outside of shipping range, you'll just get a scan.
A comic page from les pionniers by boucq, in color
The same comic page from les pionniers by boucq, in black and white, to show how the color is just enough to differentiate forms but not very heavy ok its own, vs the inks.
And I cannot say any of this as a comic artist who has a good handle on coloring myself. I think what you have shown so far is lovely, & only point you in these directions in comics as they seem counter to your frustrations.

I do say this as a person who prefers reading manga & black & white western comics for their tighter control of visual info for reading speed, in a panel & on page. I prefer colors like early Lt. Blueberry or other simple-color comics, where they're back up singers for the Inks, not their own act.
- but a bit of visual 'mud' for a quick read. But, if this is a panel to linger on, for emotional effect or to make the reader pause & feel the passage of time, the visual urging to slow down to see all the small detail & nuance is good, & it doesn't matter that its small or took extra time.
I do see with another zoom in that the clouds are the only real brush (special-)effect. But the color nuance in the water is... extraneous to me? All the extra effort to pick a ton of different but close colors to get the almost-pointillism blending-effect creates a masterpiece of an illustration,
maybe it would be too textured or detailed, if you try to wade through it. But if the brush fights you, maybe you have to concede and say 'ah, the edge of that shimmer on the water is not perfect, but I need to move on' Also, by same brush, I mean same pixel size, & large area is fill bucket.
I think it sometimes helps to color/render color with the same brush as inks. It won't be a brush suited to anything nuanced or painterly, but that could be like bowling bumpers keeping you to simplified forms & lowering visual contrast thru color choices instead of soft edged blending.
I am saying it could be hot in a scary/monstrous context, but like, im assuming thats not the context. & if I can assume, sight unseen, thats probably not the context, can't the author wake up from whatever fugue theyre writing in & think about the tone of their evocative descriptors, their context?
Are they a shambling horror, 20ft+ tall, with teeth in or around said drooling hole? If so, hot. If not, that's an invocation the character can't live up to, so why set them up to fail, author?
