Wow, I found and followed you at just the right time! What an opportunity ^^ A couple of my friends just gifted me a character design, so fingers crossed! Good luck with your practice, and I hope you like scales lol
A reference sheet for a male, anthropomorphic, wolf-pangolin hybrid. The character, Feun, has an athletic physique and has a listed height of 7 ft and a listed weight of 275 lbs. He has a wolf-like muzzle and ears, but overlapping, keratinous pangolin scales growing from his head, shoulders, back, tail, and flanks. According to the reference image, Feun is an author. He is empathetic, natural, kind, and a protector. Artwork by FullBodyWolf

Good thing: The first chunk of my new manuscript was reviewed extremely highly by the commissioner!

Pet: The best Nobu.
The best dog on the face of the earth, Nobu, a beautiful akita. He has lost his eyes and thinks you have them.

Years of being a make-believe pangolin finally caught up with me... My dear friend @snowbluehusky.bsky.social gifted me a character design commission to update my sona to one I connect more closely with, and the incredible @fullbodywolf.bsky.social crushed it, creating this handsome fellow for me!

Repost because I was wrong earlier!

This breathtaking piece is by @noonmarkart.dev , capturing one of Kah's many firsts. Thank you so much for your care in rendering this emotional moment. I’m so glad that I can revisit Kah and drive forward with his story again.
An absolutely stunning digital art piece illustrated by NoonMarkArt. The image features a young, anthropomorphic jaguar with green eyes and black fur, wearing gray coveralls, gazing in awe out the vast viewport of a starship in orbit. Visible beyond the glass is the void of space, alight with a gleaming nebula, its light washing over the jaguar in strokes of amethyst. Visible in the bottom-left corner, in the shadows of one of the ship’s consoles, is the signature of the artist, NoonMarkArt.

THIS! My first-ever piece of fan art!! Artwork by @natcatsama.bsky.social and commissioned by @verselynx.bsky.social. I'm so, so grateful! Thank you for the correction and for bringing Nadd to life for the first time!
Digital artwork, illustrated by @natcatsama, whose signature is visible in the bottom right corner. Viewed through the exterior window of what appears to be a spacecraft, a serval and a jaguar, named Nadd and Kah, respectively, look out on a planet, its mantle collapsing in magma and flame as a beam strikes it, originating from the very ship they stand within.

This beautiful promotional artwork was illustrated by @shadiaminart.bsky.social (Marvel/Scholastic’s Spider-Ham; Aggretsuko) and I am THRILLED. They’re each so perfect :’) Keep an eye out for this art and for Shadia herself at Rose City Comic Con, 9/5 – 9/7! #RCCC
Stunning promotional artwork, illustrated by Shadia Amin, with three panels. Each panel features a character from Testimony (Lord of Night #1), by Joshua King. In the top left is a male, copper-furred Bornean bay cat named E’e with a roguish smirk and an open hand. He wears a futuristic, blue military uniform with gold accents and is depicted saying, “Listen, kid. I’ve never earned a thing through cruelty, but I’ve gained an awful lot by being nice. Sure, it’s selfish, but it’s the kind of selfish you can feel good about.” In the top right is Jury, a female puma with green eyes, a severe demeanor, and a bionic right arm, under which some scarring is visible encroaching onto her chest. She is wearing a white tank top and blue pants and is depicted saying, “And I’d give the other for any one of you idiots. Despite everything, you’re good people, and I don’t need a reward from god, prince, or admiral to know that saving good people is the right thing to do.” In the bottom center is a young, male jaguar named Kah’riss, with black fur, green eyes. He is wearing gray coveralls and has both hands outstretched toward the viewer. He is depicted saying, “It’s like they don’t want us to live long enough to know better. But now I’m an Ashmaker, and I know better. I know how Ty’gjir should live.” Behind each figure is a starry night sky, and behind the panels themselves is a glorious, multicolored view of the galaxy. At the bottom of the artwork is the title of the novel which features the characters and quotes, Testimony.

Next, recent fanart! This pair of images comes from the beginning of Act II, wherein we meet everybody’s favorite character, E’e, captured in rogueish detail for the first time by Yumakes_ocs on Instagram.
A two frame comic featuring two anthropomorphic feline characters from my novel, Testimony. In the first frame, a young, male jaguar with black fur and green eyes struggles to wakefulness, gripping his head and groaning, "Ugh..." In the second frame, an older, male, Bornean bay cat with orange eyes and copper fur leans close over the jaguar, saying, "Kah'riss? Kah'riss... Wake up, wake up, wake up!" The bay cat, E'e, is wearing a gray military uniform with gold trim. Visible in the upper right corner of both frames is the signature of the artist, @yumakes_ocs A two-frame comic page featuring anthropomorphic feline characters. Visible in the upper right hand corner of both frames is the signature of the artist, @yumakes_ocs In the first frame, a young, male jaguar with black fur and green eyes, Kah'riss, sits up on the floor of what is clearly a bathroom. He wears a groggy expression and growls, "Come to mock me while I die?" In the second frame, an older, male Bornean bay cat with copper fur wearing a grey military uniform with gold trim is throwing his head back in laughter, saying, "Haha! Don't be so dramatic, soldier! I'm just trying to make sure you're still alive in here!"

Second in line, this nasty number by KieranRiot. I wanted something very graphical and gritty for poor Kah’s beat-down, and I think the artist killed it. Kah’s not afraid to take a hit (and it’s a good thing, because it happens a lot). You might run into a scene like this toward the end of Act I…
An image of a young, male jaguar—Kah’riss—wounded, on his knees, illustrated by Kieran Riot on Twitter. He wears a defiant expression and is flicking the blood off his face with his left hand, while supporting his weight with the right. He is wearing a white tank top tucked into black, belted combat pants. His right cheek, right shoulder, and right thigh are gouged with claw marks and he is bleeding from his left nostril. In the foreground is the silhouette of a figure’s left fist, dripping blood, as well as the figure’s left leg and sinuous tail.

First up, to get us started, meet Kah’riss, the MC of Testimony (Lord of Night 1)! This is Kah’s canon look, beautifully designed by @noonmarkart.dev for a picture I’ll post later…
A reference sheet labelled “WIP DESIGN for KAH,” illustrated by NoonMarkArt, featuring three 1:1 views of Kah’riss, the main character of the sci-fi novel Testimony (Lord of Night #1) by Joshua King. The depiction on the left is monochromatic the depiction in the middle is clothed in gray, soot-stained, industrial coveralls with a cinch waist and a zip-up collar, and the depiction on the right is unclothed (safe for work) and in color. The character depicted is an anthropomorphic, male jaguar with predominantly black fur patterned in rosettes of deeper black. His base coat slowly transitions from black at his shoulders to faint, warm gold at the digitigrade feet. Featured beside the center image is a close-up of his green eye. The image on the left is indicated by three arrows which read, “tiny forehead star,” “3 rosettes on each cheek,” and “faint, warm yellow gold,” the last of which is pointed at his paws. Between the images on the right, the artist’s signature, “NOONMARKART” is visible.

You made it to the weekend, team! Nobu is proud of you.
The handsomest American Akita is congratulating you on a week well done. He's turning all white and pink from VKH-like syndrome and has no eyes, but he can tell you've earned a nice rest.

Happy Wednesday from Nobu, team!
A photograph of a beautiful American Akita wearing a harness and leash, lounging on the grass, mid-walk. He has no eyes and a pink muzzle. He's cooler than your dog.

I just went through a similar situation with my dog, only it was uveodermatologic syndrome. In March, he was good, in mid-May, he needed his eyes removed. Now, blind and shave-faced, he's confidently making his way around the house. It's sucked, but worse for my husband and me than for him, I think.
An inarguably beautiful American Akita with fawn fur and a black mask, tilting his head at the camera. He has shaved patches on his right foreleg, his left flank, and around both orbitals, and is missing his eyes. He's cooler than your dog.

KDP is committed to making the decision to leave their platform as easy as possible.
A screenshot of a kindle direct publishing author dashboard, trimmed to show only an announcement reading "Changes to royalty rates for print books and color printing costs starting June 10, 2025." The text goes on to describe a reduction of royalty rates from 60% to 50% for books priced below certain list prices.

I mean, this is a bad idea, but I would summon Moder from the Ritual, just because I want to look at it longer.

One last Diazzo and Marc's pic. For now.

Diazzo and Marc's are canoodling. Marc is tugging a leash, forcing D, blindfolded and fully erect, to flip Marc onto his back in order to eat his ass.

It's ALWAYS the season for what comes after a Diazzo and Marc date...

Art by @alikars.bsky.social
A male coyote anthro, Marc, with his pants around his ankles, tugs the leash of a huge, male, wolfhound-pangolin hybrid, Diazzo, who, despite being on his knees, tied, and blindfolded, is still taller than Marc.

It's not the season for it, but Diazzo and Marc's Halloween date makes me smile every time I see it.

Art by @alikars.bsky.social
An anthro coyote wearing a patchy leather jacket and an eyepatch over his left eye aggressively hugs a much taller, anthro wolfhound-pangolin hybrid. The pair are standing on a dusk-lit street which is decorated with jack-o-lanterns and strings of lights.

A grootslang! That's the Afrikaans name for it. It's a creature so fearsome and terrible that the gods split it into a bunch of different animals.
