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!
An anthropomorphic griffon vulture sits in a dusty environment near a construction yard crane. She's wearing a rugged brown cape and a staff with a stylized ibex head sculpture on top, and she wears several necklaces made of scultures of extinct animal species. Attached to each sculture is a ribbon with the species' name. An anthropomorphic female cockatoo stands facing the viewer, with her wings partially spread framing her. She is also spreading with her hands the feathers on her breasts revealing the bare "brood patch" beneath. Frontal portrait of an anthropomorphic long-eared owl with spread wings. She is surrounded by stretched barbed wires, some of which are entwined around her arms. Her arms are crossed on the chest, unable to move, and have multiple scars on them. Some of the wires form a round shape around her head and have dead mice skewered on the barbs, forming a sort of macabre halo. Pencil drawing of a realistic anthropomorphic swallow, standing in an elegant pose with their arms crossed and wings bent in a sheltering pose.

Better look at the Princess Luna portrait... 2/4
A portrait of Princess Luna from My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. She is standing among the ruins of an ancient palace, in front of a broken stained glass window through which the moon is visible high in the sky. She is smiling but looks tired. Her mane an tail swirl all around and look like a night sky full of stars and galaxies.

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 royal portrait of Princess Celestia from My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. She is painted in a realistic style, standing in front of a stone wall with a sun etching on it. She has a raised hoof and large flowing mane and tail that look like they are made of plasma.

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.
Back view of a nude anthropomorphic female rabbit. She's standing but leaning on a chair's back, her right legs lifted and resting on it displaying the bottom of her foot.

"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.
Drawing of a female anthropomorphic female wolf. She's visibly pregnant and leaning on her side on the bed wearing only a shirt, smiling. The point of view is that of someone laying next to her in the bed.

"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.
Pencil portrait of an anthropomorphic female wolf. She's visibly pregnant and sitting comfortably on a sofa. A cat with dark fur is curled up on the sofa on her side.

"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
An anthropomorphic male fossa wearing tribal jewelry. He is climbing on a plant, suspended over the swirling yellow and orange clouds of an alien world.

"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
The scene is set inside a glass greenhouse. It's raining outside and water drops are trickling down the glass. A male anthropomorphic german shepherd dog in a gardener's apron is tending to a hanging pot of strawberry plants. He is surrounded by many other lush plants, including a passiflora in flower, basil, cucumber, dog roses and succulent plants.

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.
Thigh shot portrait of an anthropomorphic female pine marten. She is nude except for a silvery pinecone shaped pendant, hands behind her back, striking a proud and fierce-looking pose while grinning at the viewer.

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.
Upper body portrait of a nude female anthropomorphic raccoon. She has a punk green mohawk, various piercings on her ears and muzzle, metal bracelets and a tattoo on her chest spelling "Trash Panda" in gothic characters arranged in a cross shape.

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.
Frontal portrait of a female anthropomorphic Canadian lynx on an abstract sage green background. She is nude but covering her breasts with her arms, prominently displaying her very large hand-paws.

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. ❤️

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 🔞.
An anthropomorphic female wolf in a forest, leaning on a fallen tree and smiling at the viewer. On her side there is an old battered sign that reads "Beware of wolves". An anthropomorphic female lynx angel, with black crow wings and a plate armor. She is descending from a fiery sky upon a landscape of ruins. An anthropomorphic female hippo wrapped in a decorated pareo, surrounded by oxpeckers and butterflies. She looks tough and rugged, as if she has just been in a fight, and she glances confidently at the viewer. An anthropomorphic female winged fox with a colorful fur pattern that reminds the plumage of macaws. She is sitting on a dirty concrete platform and two actual macaws are rubbing against her with affection.

"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.
A female anthropomorphic pine marten leaning in a sexy pose, handing a handful of medical info pamphlets to the viewer. Many women care items are on the floor around her, including manstrual pads, vitamins, birth control pills and sex toys.
