Sophie is very sick and she needs our help to access treatment and food. these are our trans family members, and they deserve so much better. please, if you have any ability to help, donate. if you cannot donate, share her fundraiser.

pyrography piece featuring a stylized sumatran tiger lurking in dense, dark foliage. the focus of the piece is on the tiger's head and face. this is burned into a ~4x3.5 inch sealed natural wood slice in an oval shape. same piece as previous from an angle to emphasize the textures burned into the wood.

digital headshot illustration of a crocodilian creature with a mane of thick, fiery red-and-orange fur and several spiky scutes atop their head. they have extremely long teeth jutting at chaotic angles from their wide open jaws and scales in warm tones of orange, dark red, and burgundy. the background is a dark pink gradient with a dramatic, darker border. digital headshot illustration of an anthro ribbon eel glancing over their shoulder at you with a pleased little grin. they have very voluminous, wavy, light orange hair tied back into a loose ponytail and are wearing a white button up and a burgundy sweatervest with a floral pattern on it. the background is a sunset gradient with a wavy white border. digital headshot illustration of an anthro tiger character giving an open-mouthed, toothy smile. the character's fur is shades of orange with dark blue and teal markings with lighter fur on the cheeks and muzzle and around the eyes. the character is wearing a pair of black, rectangular glasses. the background is an orange-yellow gradient. digital headshot illustration of an owlcat character giving a mischievous grin. the character has two gold hoops in each of their feathered ears and two matching gold cuffs around each of the four tines on their antlers. one of their eyes has two scars over it and is permanently closed. the background is a purple-blue gradient.

top row of these adopts is still available! if no one buys the melanistic one, i might hold onto them for future fursuit practice.
