I mainly stick to pallet knife-esque brushes and finally made one that feels painterly and natural to use. Now I just need to get better at rendering lol

I think so! The city exclusively used straight lines and I think adds a lot of contrast. You can really feel how wild and free the forest is compared the town.

It really is such a beautiful story! I have a playlist just for drawing and funny enough “running with the wolves” played last night and I got teary just listening to it.

Yay! Thank you so much! I wasn’t thinking about a story while making it, but I’m so glad that it invites one.

The art direction and visual style for that movie is so pretty. I need to watch it again

I could be wrong, but I remember reading that the director wanted the forest to have no straight lines and only curves, and it really adds so much.

Oh yeah it’s important to stay hydrated too. I have digigrade legs that I also made and those things get so hot during a convention

Oh cool, didn’t know that. I have VR chat but I don’t use it. Been too distracted by other games like Bauldurs gate 3 lol

Yeah, I’ve noticed 3-D printed head bases are getting really common. I’ve also seen a flexible element used for padding and digigrade paws.

I wonder how hot those get compared to the usual padding

I know! I’m so jealous of those people. That would be such a fun thing to do for a job. I’ve actually made my own suit and it was such a fun experience. Love to see how people are incorporating 3-D printing into it nowadays as well.

Doing hybrid species is always super fun as well! I love how creative the community is.

Forgot where I saw it, but I recently saw somebody needle felting a fursuit. As someone getting into the hobby that’s just insane to me lol

Oh definitely, I used to do a lot of furry commissions before I started doing art school. I’ve done so many foxes and wolves but quite a few Manokits as well.
I’ve also done D&D character commissions and I love how passionate furry and dnd players get about their characters.

I’ve seen that also and I love it! Mustelids in general are such cool animals. Seals too, leopard seals are so dragon-coded.

I really need to get back into doing furry commissions because doing an otter character sounds really fun!

That’s awesome! I never knew that about the mongoose.
I wish more people were inspired to make fursonas of more lesser known or obscure animals. My main fursona is a giant golden-crowned flying fox.
There’s around 1,400 different bat species so there’s so much variety with bats alone

So cute!! Love the fursona design!!

Thanks!

So cute!! I want to give the angy ball a hug

The first books cover art is soo good also. To be able to make book cover illustrations like that is the dream. Doing a grayscale study of it was really fun

Maybe I’m just stupid, but how can you tell if they’re bots? (Still new to being on bsky)
