Resting in the meadow.

[ #furry #furryart #art #autumn ]
Glade(Fox, left), Emeric(Gryphon, middle) and Ares(Wolf, right), stop and rest on a fallen tree in a meadow. Emeric sits on the ground up against the fallen tree reading a book while Ares sleeps on his left shoulder and arm. Glade sits on top of the fallen tree, writing something down in his journal. Leaves fall from the nearby trees, colored with reds, oranges, greens, and yellows signifying fall leaf colors. The ground has some piles of leaves and beams of sunlight shoot through the trees behind them.

Two new OCs to add to my ever-growing roster of characters!

Introducing Skye, an Eastern Dragon and Zephyr, a Dragon/Gryphon Hybrid (A Dracogryph, if you will).

I always enjoy designing new characters and these two were some of my favorite to create.

I will not be making Halloween art this year since I've decided to work on two new OCs instead.

Please enjoy this repost of last year's Halloween-themed art of Emeric's Weregryph form which was still one of my favorite pieces I made from last year.

#furryart #art #weregryphon #Halloween #ocart
Emeric(Gryphon, left) cries and tremors out of pain and fear as his body begins transforming into a more monstrous form. His Weregryph form is on the right, showing him in the aftermath of the transformation, taller, bigger, more muscular and incredibly ferocious. Both them and the sky are bathed in a red light that has taken over the light of the two full moons.

Princess Aurora, the Scion of Light.
A beacon of hope in a dark reality.

#art #furryart #furry #ocart #oc
Aurora(Red Wolf), uses her magic to generate bright, starry light to illuminate the darkness surrounding her. There is swirling light wrapping around her left arm, and surrounding star-shaped magical light entities. She looks gleefully at it.

Artists and writers, quote with your queer characters

7 out of 11 of my current characters are queer.

Both of my wolf OCs Ares and Aurora are asexual
Both of my Gryphons, Emeric and Corva, are bisexual
Glade(Fox), Quinn(Dragon) and Artemis(Bearded Vulture) are gay.

Finally finished this piece I started in June.

Is there new love brewing between Artemis and Emeric? Or is it just an awkward moment? Maybe both?

Only time will tell.

#art #furryart #ocs #furry #ocart
Emeric(Gryphon, Right) stands guard watching over a recently captured prisoner, Artemis(Bearded Vulture, left) in front of a brick wall with a small village in the background.. Both stand awkwardly as Artemis looks down at Emeric with his left hand rubbing the back of his head, nervously shaking. Emeric looks back at Artemis and can't help but blush as he can't resist Artemis's charm and his looks.

Share 4 Years of your #Art

2019 -> 2020 -> 2022 -> 2025

Didn't really start getting into drawing consistently until 2021, but I had a few pieces created starting in 2019. My art has gotten way better since then.

The grind is over, the last ref sheet is done.

My big bird boy, Artemis, was the last one to do and now all my current OCs have completed refs.

#furry #furryart #art #oc
Reference sheet for a bearded vulture OC named Artemis. There are five lines that point to text from specific parts of Artemis's design. They read: Tail Folded on the ground, unfolds when in flight, left arm scars. The text on the color palette read from top to bottom: body, beak/forearms/legs, talons, eyes, Face Tufts(Vibrissae), scrs, tongue, mouth, teeth (where applicable). The text on the information side on the right read from top to bottom: Artemis Bearded Vulture Male | He/They | Gay Height: 8ft (244 cm) Weight 380 Ibs (172 kg) -Incredibly tall and well-built -Young warrior and scholar -Highly intelligent and wields incredible physical strength -Served in a raiding group in order to travel, with a personal mission to find his missing twin sister -His size and physique makes him appear intimidating, but outside of battle he is timid, socially awkward and gentle -Trained primarily with spears, but is equally as ferocious in hand-to-hand combat, utilizing his sharp talons -If one can break through his timidness, he is actually very friendly, but talks softly and sometimes awkwardly

I'm fully planning on joining Artfight this year and I'm both excited and nervous about it.

Anyways, here are my picks, some tough calls but Forest Nights would still be my number 1.
