I've been busy with various crises, but I wanted to show a sign of life ^^;

I won't finish the chapter by the end of the year, but I'll at least get to the climax!

Hey, I'm one of those! I make a furry webcomic called Seeking Salvation! It's an adult romance/drama about two guys trying to figure out what they want out of life and each other!
CW: religious themes and sexual situations

I post pages here on Bsky and also on my website: seeking-salvation.com
Rick (left, dog) and Tony (right, panther) looking at each other while Tony has his arm over Rick's shoulder. Tony is wearing a black cross necklace and a green shirt while Rick wears a button-up red shirt with a progress pride flag pin and a white undershirt. There is a large M in the lower right corner, indicating the series is for mature readers. A panel from a recent comic page. In it Rick is smiling while pointing at a starter deck for a trading card game he holds in his other hand. His tail is wagging. He's wearing black pajama bottoms, and a yellow shirt that has "Clarendale" written in red cursive font. Comic panel excerpt. In it, Tony is giving a double-thumbs up and open mouthed smile while a cat in the background, Alex, is also smiling and looking in the same direction. Tony is wearing a green shirt under a black jacket, and is wearing a black cross. Seeking Salvation comic page 40, the most recent comic page I've published, wherein the cast discuss college and video games during a game night.

Look what @artsyfoxo.bsky.social's friend @enbytween.bsky.social made for me!

HE'S SO CUTE 😍😭🤩🥰

Just received this stunning commission from SE Case!

She's currently running a Kickstarter for the second volume of her webcomic: Rigsby, WI! Go support it--it's super good! Also, you might be able to snag a portrait commission add on if you want something like this beauty for yourself!
Portrait commission of my red kangaroo fursona Artu, by SE Case. He is presenting a shaka while mugging (or mogging?) the camera with his tongue out. He's wearing a black tanktop and a watermelon bandana around his neck. The United States flag burns in the background and the words "No Theory Without Praxis" are written to the left side.

Seeking Salvation comic page 40 (chapter 2, page 17). Tony and Alex share about their scholarly pursuits, while Ian brags on his cousin. Jason criticizes their decision and Alex challenges him for the gaming crown. Ian asks to join in the competition and is reluctantly accepted. Also, Rick has heard about video games. Have you?

I was looking through my art for that meme I posted and man, I wish Rick was real. He's so cute! I want to give him a hug ❤️

Making comics is great cuz I get to draw him all the time!

Rick smiling while excitedly pointing at a One Whole trading card game starter deck in a yellow shirt and dark gray pants. The shirt reads "Clarendale" in red cursive letters. Sticker I made of Rick smiling and blushing bashfully while rubbing the back of his neck.

I wasn't sort of on hiatus from the furry community back when COVID started. Lockdown helped pull me back in!

Black text on white background reads: "Art at beginning of COVID" Christmas drawing of Rick and Alex from December 18, 2019. Alex is resting on Rick's lap on their couch while Rick scratches the back of his head. Rick is wearing a red and white striped shirt and green pants while Alex is wearing a green tee and red pants. Black text on white background reads: "Vs. Now!" A cut-out from a comic panel on page 34 (ch. 2, pg. 11). Rick cowers from a bright light as his sister, Alex holds something aloft out of frame. He is in a yellow shirt and has his face scrunched up to keep the light out.

Seeking Salvation comic page 39 (chapter 2, page 16). Tony stands abruptly, pointing out the paper crown near Rick, asking if he is a fan of the X-Raunt, the restaurant that gives the paper fans. Rick crushes his drink in response, angrily saying "hell no" before Jason grabs and explains the purpose of the crown as the symbol of gaming excellence. Alex chimes in with more context about her and Jason's weekly gaming contests.

I had a great time at DenFur! I got a lot of inspiration for this next page that I don't think I would've had if I hadn't gone. Look forward to it!

Comic Fury is getting larger comic covers to replace the old icons. I made two versions, mostly cuz I'm not sure which label is better but it's nice to see my boys together <3

#furryart
Seeking Salvation comic cover version 1. It features Rick in a red button-up shirt smiling awkwardly while looking at Tony who has his arm wrapped over Rick's shoulder and is looking back at him with a toothy grin. Rick's wearing a Progress Pride pin and Tony's cross necklace hangs next to it draping over Rick's shoulder. The background is light blue and text at the top says "Seeking Salvation" and "By: Artufex" in a faded yellow font. In the lower left corner is a black circle with a large M in the corner, rating the comic mature. Seeking Salvation comic cover version 1.

Seeking Salvation comic pages 36 and 37 (ch. 2 pages 13 and 14). Rick sits on the couch while his friends dance the night away. The dances, (left to right) are from: Get Lucky by Daft Punk ft. Pharell, Back on 74 by Jungle, Rasputin by Boney M, California Gurls by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg, Caramelldansen by Caramell, and that opening dance from the 2020 anime Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (the song being Eazy Breezy by chelmico). The characters, Rick, Tony, Alex, Ian, and Jason are dancing under different colored lights on a gold trail of sheet music while stars sparkle around them and ping and blue lighting frames the background.

Happy Juneteenth! I'm Artu and I make a webcomic called Seeking Salvation! It's an 🔞 romance/drama about two guys trying to figure out what they want out of life and each other! It explores religious themes, self-discovery, and is seeping with queer black love.

I'm throwing this sketch out for a more recognizable pose from the dance this is from, but I worked too hard on it for no one to see it! So here's the latest comic WIP, featuring Alex and Ian dancing.

Feel free to guess the dance if you're interested!
Seeking Salvation pg. 36 Comic page WIP. Alex and Ian dancing. I'm throwing this one out for a more recognizable pose from the dance, but I worked to hard for no one to see it! Alex and Ian have their hips thrust out to the side while swinging their arms above their heads. Alex's eyes are closed while she smiles, grooving to the song. Ian has Dreamworks smarm face. There's also a small face next to Ian with a pout as stage directions to myself to push the expression during inking.

I'm glad I finally get to stop drawing Tony's jacket!!!
Seeking Salvation page 35, (chapter 2, page 12). Rick scrambles up his couch, mentioning the group's lack of enough controllers for everyone to play and implies he will sit out. Tony asks if he's not a fan of dancing and Alex mentions she's only ever seen him dance once, when she forced him to play the game before. Rick morosely claims to not be good at it, to which Tony shrugs saying, "Neither am I! That's why the game's so good. It just tells you what to do!" Rick looks skeptically and Tony implores him, saying Rick can't do worse than himself. Rick rebuffs, reminding the party there aren't enough controllers even if he did want to play, and he decides to wait out the next game. Tony points at Rick while taking off his jacket, "Alright, bro. I'm holdin' you to it." To which Rick raises his arms defensively, saying "Yes, sir." Meanwhile, Alex pushes the coffee table out of the way and asks Jason to grab the controllers, to which he (offscreen) responds affirmatively.
