I don't have much reach here but if anyone got any pictures and videos from the fuzzy worm meet and wiggle at #denfur2025 I would LOVE to see them!

I was so overhwhelmed with the turnout that I didn't take any, thank you all so much for such an amazing time!

#denfur #worm
a two tone gray striped fuzzy worm with a hair floof, one purple eye and one green eye. it has a spiraly green stripes in its midsection and it's drinking from a box labled "dumb worm juice" with a silly straw. the text "sssiip..." is placed above the head and the woerms cheeks are poofed out to indicate drinking. the image is colored and softly shaded and sits on a simple painted galaxy backdrop.

a gray striped crux fursuiter posing with paws up reaching slightly toward the camera. It's got a black shirt on, green and purple swirly hypno eyes and green and purple tentacles hanging from it's mouth. The backdrop is a bedroom full of stuffed animals who are definitely watching you right now.

I adopted a wonderful friend last night from Scavenged Goods on Colfax, only to be informed that I was apparently bringing home a criminal!!

@animalartcrimes.bsky.social thank you by proxy for this amazing new addition to my home.

Now he just needs a name and a new nose <3
An crypto-taxidermy of an antelope skull on a plaster form painted in clown colors with a white body and accents in blue red and yellow. It hangs in a room full of other clown paraphernalia on a wall with painted red and white circus tent stripes and fake blood splatters. The Plush clown face hanging next to it has seen some shit. The same taxidermy in image 1 now hanging on a different wall surrounded by a computer, a cutesy Plush mounted deer head and many random little knick knacks that make up the counter top next to my desk

This good earth is now two feline souls fewer - They both went within a year of each other.

Moni, Dinah - may you play together up in those green fields, until I see you both again.

Old art of them in the sunroom at my parents - their favorite spot.
A digital painting of a pair of cats lounging on the top of a sofa together. One is black and slightly larger, the other is a cream colored tabby, laying facing away from one another with their tails curled and overlapping. Large windows behind them show a forested backyard at sunset.

If you see this, post a monster #art
A waist-up side portrait of a silver and gray striped crux character with long messy black hair. The character is mutated, with horns, extra sets of glowing eyes, tentacled arms and strange spikes and teeth protruding from it's body.

Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
the people on the edge of the night
and love dares you to
change your way of
caring about ourselves

this is our last dance
this is our last dance

This is ourselves
Under Pressure

A digital painting showing an anthropomorphic crux with grey and silver striped fur walking along a lighted path at night. She's wearing a black hoodie and pastel leggings, long tail trailing out behind her, backlit by a streetlight. Her expression is somber, and she holds a cigarette in her hand. The art is stylized and not realistic.

Tumblr post by spoonitate: She had curves in all the wrong places - some of them cast a 3-dimensional shadows, still others hummed a low, discordant note as they flitted about like flies. She was nothing like other girls - she was an abomination from the 6th plane of torment.

A small love letter to one of my favorite pieces of twitter prose.

A gray anthropomorphic crux character in a black hoodie and green cargo pants walking into a dark subway station with a single dim light, the background fading to a disconcerting void. The style of the art is very rough and sketchy and using a limited color pallete of mostly faded blies and dim yellow, save for the characters themselves who are relatively full color. The crux is looking down, messy hair obscuring most of it's face as a rat-king (a single-bodied clump of rats, all with glowing red eyes and one leader with a red heart-shaped gem embedded in his chest looking back up at the crux. There is text on the image that reads: Subway rat made eye contact with me and said "join us." "When the train comes we slide under the tracks and feel it rumble over us like a warm thunderstorm. We live forever and we love to live." I said no thank you I am too large. He turned away from me. I cried. The text is taken from a twitter post by user @/bestinsio in 2019.

From the first time I ever drew Shade (2009 gods help me) to pieces done within the last year - she's come a long way and been with me through so much. It's crazy looking at these side by side. Ignore the weird crayon-ass lazy background on the original >.>

#furry #art #character #oc #fuckyee
Traditional art : A drawn reference of a crux character, drawn in pen and colored pencil. The character is facing to the side, arms outstretched. It's fur is gray and black and striped with orange and green and blue and purple markings. It's tongue is blepped. Drawn on plain artist paper with a scribbled multicolor background. Digital art - digital painting with heavy black lineart and white highlights. A square icon-style portrait of a gray striped crux, wearing a blue X shirt over a background of a soft-edge impression of a forest with soft orange and yellow light filtering through the trees. Digital art - sketchy, soft-painted style, minimally detailed background. A gray striped crux wearing a hoodie and baggy cargo pants walking into a darkened subway tunnel, the distances cloaked in deep shadow. A rat-like creature stands in front of her, it's tail coiling behind it connecting to an entire mass of rats, black, with glowing red eyes who all seem to share one body. White text overlays the image, reading: Subway rat made eye contact with me and said "join us." "When the train comes we slide under the tracks and feel it rumble over us like a warm thunderstorm. We live forever and we love to live." I said no thank you I am too large. He turned away from me. I cried." The quoted text originated from a post on twitter by user @/bestinsio Digital Art - a digital painting with lineart, piece titled "I'm Odds and Ends" A gray striped crux, curled into a fetal position floating in a void of sparkles and stars and surrounded by a multicolored, nebula like glow. It appears to be crying in zero gravity, streams of blue and white floating from it's eyes. Attached to the figure are little twists and loops of string, with symbols - stars, hearts, clouds, moons, an anchor... hanging off of them. It's mouth is wrapped shut in more string.

Incredible beautiful wonderful art by @cruxfat.bsky.social

The licking lemon meme featuring a gray, green and purple striped crux X cautiously licking a lemon in the top panel. In the bottom panel it's entire head and neck is skrunched into it's body, it's tail is twisted and curled and it has little drips of anime-style sweat around where it's face should be. It is very startled.
