Artist from Italy, painter of anthropomorphic animals. Mainly oil paintings and drawings. I take inspiration from ecology, animal trivia, Old Masters art, solarpunk and furry culture.

If you see this, post your bird art!

I fell in love with birds after reading "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" and seeing the "Life of Birds" documentary series by BBC. Anthro birds have been regulars in my art since then!

...and the sketch of Miss Brisby too. 3/4

Better look at the Princess Luna portrait... 2/4

A few years ago I was compelled to paint two portraits of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from MLP:FIM. I left them out of my art book due to trademark concerns, but I can share here the two pages I would have put in the book, complete with my notes to the pictures. 1/4

A quote from my art book that seems kinda relevant given the persistent controversies around adult art. Who gets to set the rules of imagination? It's literally the question that spawned the furry fandom.

"Pinned (volunteer)", cropped detail

I'm not sure whether I could post the full version of this painting here, so I'd rather not risk. If you are curious it's not hard to figure out where to find it.

With the family at my parent's country home, I brought a copy of my art book to visit the childhood places that shaped my imagination - and inspired some of my most personal works!

Based on one of the warmup sketches I (try to) do regularly from various references. Many are studies of poses which aren't very interesting and are only worth doing for technical practice, but occasionally I stumble upon a pose that jolts my imagination and deserves a more complete drawing.

"Morning vision"

From the last sketch I did during my wife's pregnancy, a few days before delivery. A vision that's not easily forgotten.

"Wait"

I still hadn't posted the last couple drawings I did based on live sketches of my wife during pregnancy, even thought our second baby was born in June - healthy and with a super fast delivery too! This drawing also starring our cat Yuri.

"The wire", oil on canvas, 50x50 cm

Do owls have nightmares too?

Inspired by Sandro Botticelli's "Man of Sorrows" and by the fact my wrists and forearms have been in faint but almost constant pain for about ten years now. It's manageable with physical therapy and 1/3

"Sky walk with me", oil on canvas, 30x40 cm

Last commission from 2024, for Derago. His home world is a partially gaseous planet with land masses floating in the sky, so I tried to imagine a kind of plant that might grow on the edge of floating land and take advantage of the strong air currents. 1/2

"Greenhouse care", oil on canvas, 30x40 cm

A commission from last year I hadn't posted yet, painted for Mango - his character Aelph tending to his greenhouse. I like drawing/painting specific, recognizable plants whenever possible rather than generic or fantasy plants, even though it's a lot 1/2

My marten model Martina painted in color for the first time. She specifically asked to look fierce and proud in the portrait because, well, that's how she is. I still have a bite mark to show from the one time I suggested her a pose that she deemed too slutty.

Assigned Badass At Birth, in case you are wondering. Obviously she's just getting started when it comes to tattoos. Her abdomen is shaved but inspired by a photo of a pregnant raccoon who had very sparse fur on her underside.

Also a little flipping through my Art Book, always available from the awesome @fenrispublishing.bsky.social !

Something new at last! A Canadian lynx portrait made in order to relearn how to hold a brush after months of hiatus. Next up will be pine marten and raccoon, part of the same series. This ought to be the first time I'm happy with how the cool and warm tones blend in the fur.

Hey I'm not dead! Just overly busy with life stuff, for a change. But it's mostly good stuff, namely moving to a new home with a better studio room, and also my wife is expecting our second child. She's in the fourth month now and I'm doing again drawings based on live sketches of her. ❤️

Bluesky’s open, quote one art to promote yourself!

Welcome new followers! I'm a painter from Italy working mostly in oils. I create anthro animals, #furryart, furry solarpunk and ecology inspired stuff. I often paint/draw nudes or NSFW art so 🔞.

"Read the manual first... and don’t you DARE look up some bullshit video tutorial. Pussies ain’t easy to handle.”

Looking back, I'm a bit embarrassed at how little I used to know, even as a young adult, about the female body and all the stuff it needs for best hygiene and functionality.
