Things have changed
Rearranged
Everything is new
Spirits high
All blue sky
I've someone to talk to
But when the night is blue
I will think of you
Someone who
Loves me too
After you withdrew
Kinder ways
Better days
Words exchanged are true
But winter settles in
Thoughts of you begin

It will never cease to amaze me how much tiny finger pokes can bleed (that's enough glass work for today!)

I got word that an original painting that @spottacus.org commissioned me to create is now on auction via Goodwill. Auction ends in just a little over 1 day and is currently at just $30 so if you want an original painting of mine for an absolute steal, here's the link shopgoodwill.com/item/251172556
A watercolor and colored pencil painting of a sabertooth cat anthro with two young cubs, surrounded by african animal families. Piece shows the sabertooth anthros inside a cave covered by cave paintings showing an adult's drawings but also the drawings and paint splatters of the children at kid height.

Let's end the year with an art recap!

I'm actually very proud of what I have accomplished during the year. I made a couple of illustrations trying different styles, a couple short comics, sona art, and I even managed to finish a deck of cards and a playable minigame!!

#art #furryart
"AnforSorrow's Art of 2005" January: "Antiquarian" - Anthropomorphic magpie wearing a turtleneck, square glasses and a jacket. He is inside a dimly lit room, a number of ancient bird-related artifacts decorate the wall behind him. February: "Le Fol" - Card inspired by the Tarot of Marseilles. It shows an anthro fox dressed as a beggar, walking carelessly through the countryside. March: "Cave Canem" - An illustration in the style of an ancient roman mosaic, depicting an anthro dog, dressed as a gladiator. April: "Animalia Tarot" - Part of a Woodcut-style label. It features an anthropomorphic skeletal wolf. May: "Celtiberian Horses" - Drawing of a horse and their offspring, done in a celtiberian style. June: "Respite" - Drawing of an anthropomorphic magpie, sitting under a big tree, in the middle of a forest. A white butterly took interest in the magpie's index finger, and is about to land on it. July: "Cave Paintings" - A group of sketches inspired by different famous cave paintings. It includes a Laxcaux Cave horse; a bear and rhyno from Chauvet Cave, and a red animal from the Cave of Swimmers. August: "One for Sorrow, Two for Joy" - An illustration, in the style of a romanesque stained glass window. On it, the figure of an anthro bird, possibly a magpie, look to a side, while holding a book, dignified as a saint. They are surrounded by latin text saying "Unus Pro Triste Duo Pro Gaudio" September: "Stickers" - A set of Telegram stickers featuring Anfor, and anthropomorphic magpie, in different emotions. October: "The Eye of the Ibis" - An stylized, 60's Saul Bass inspired movie poster. November: "Restoration" - Drawing of an anthro magpie wearing a leather apron in a dark workshop. He is working on some kind of old wooden panel, with indian inspired polychromy, featuring an elephant. December: "And a Magpie in a Pear Tree" - Illustration inspired by vintage christmas cards, of a magpie on a tree branch, holding a holly leaf.

In short, a past that no one now can share,
No matter whose your future; calm and dry,
It holds you like a heaven, and you lie
Unvariably lovely there,
Smaller and clearer as the years go by.
