Hi I'm merle! I like art, animation, animals, colorful shit, and occasionally playing web dev. Also I'm a huge furry, if you couldn't tell.

@corruptions.bsky.social gifted me a super cute character design he wasn't using. ;v; I had a lot of fun putting my own spin on her look and I love herrr. Her name is Rena and she is a chaotic little kitsune who loves making jokes and getting up to all kinds of mischief.
#qrunchydraws #furryart
Digital art of a dark purple bipedal kitsune with a cream underbelly, cyan inside her large pointed ears, and cream colored paws with magenta toes and cyan paw pads. Her big, slightly floppy ears and two tails have cream ornamental stars at the tips. She has a magenta jester collar and swirls on her cheeks. Her arms are long with big paws, while she has more proportional digitigrade legs. Her irises have concentric cyan, purple, and magenta rings around small pupils. She is smiling and waving at the viewer with a friendly expression. Same as the previous image, except in this one her pupils and the concentric colors in her irises are diamond shaped, giving her a bizarre and slightly sinister vibe.

Text: Art at the beginning of Covid Portrait of a white charr with light yellow spots and strawberry blonde hair. She is wearing a white coat with shimmery golden lapels and accents and hot pink fur lining around the collar. She is wearing a golden necklace and gold jewelry on her horns. She is smiling proudly as she shows off her shiny golden claws. Text: Vs. now! Drawing of a light blue manokit with a white chest and belly and red and yellow stripes on their hands, feet, and tail fin. They have spiky red and yellow hair. They are frolicking in front of a photo background featuring palm trees at sunset. They are brightly backlit by the sun, casting most of them in dramatic shadow.

Posca drawing of an alien that resembles an anthro cat with antennas and stars embedded in their hair and fur. They are sitting down, slouching and resting their arms on their legs. They are glancing to the left with a chill expression.

All that duct tape and tracing paper gone to waste. :') I feel kinda bad tossing it even though it's way more of a pain to set up and use
A light box built out of cardboard and lined with white tracing paper and duct tape The same light box from a 3/4 angle

I built a light box! I'm really happy with it, I can't wait to finally take some nice photos of my sketchbook and traditional work
Photo of a partially closed cardboard box sitting on top of a dresser inside a closet Photo of the inside of the box. There is white tracing paper taped to the walls. Three 12" LED bars, A tablet stand and a phone stand are stored inside the box. The same box, placed on its side and standing open. Two LED bars are attached to the side flaps, and the third one is mounted to the ceiling of the box. A sketchbook is propped up in the center, illuminated by the LEDs Similar to the previous set up, but now the side flaps are angled inward to shine light directly on the sketchbook. The phone stand is placed in front of the box to stabilize a smart phone while taking photos.

Fuck your little racehorse girls, I wanna see wild and feral girlboss horse milfs
Snippet of the Wikipedia article on feral horses: "Feral horse herds, like those of wild horses, are usually made up of small harems led by a dominant mare, containing additional mares, their foals, and immature horses of both sexes. There is usually one herd stallion, though occasionally a few less-dominant males may remain with the group."

Sketchy drawing of a spotty blond anthro alpaca wearing a dark blue t-shirt and boot cut jeans. Sketchy digital headshot of a fawn alpaca with glasses and short purple hair. They are looking menacingly at the viewer with a toothy grin. They're also doing the anime style eye flash thing

I've been bit by the animation bug and I've dreamed of rotoscoping Opal over my favorite otter gif since creating her. Never thought I'd actually do it
