Well,
A screenshot of a gif, taken as part of a repost game. In the original post being quoted, there's a gif quickly listing several different horror movie character archetypes - one per frame - with the intent being that you pause the gif to figure out which archetype you'd be based on what frame you randomly land on. I got "The Killer", as written in white capitalized text in the middle of the screenshotted frame. The background of the frame is black with red blood splatters. A reaction image. It shows a photo of a small, cream-coloured dog holding a kitchen knife in it's front paws and looking off to the left at something out of frame, suggesting the threat of violence. The knife is serrated with a red handle and is larger than the dog itself. It has wide puppy dog eyes, oblivious to the horrors being implied.

I found this screenshot out of context on Tumblr and I think I'm gonna start using it as a reaction image
A screenshot of a YouTube comment. It shows a comment by a user named Wesley Mantooth. Their profile picture is a photo of a golden retriever wearing glasses. The comment reads: "I got pregnant from listening to this (and I'm a guy / dogman)"

Them: Hey, you better not be a gay horse when I come over

My gay horse ass:
A photograph. It shows a high contrast close-up of a horse's front right leg, stood against a black background. The knee and fetlock are both bent forwards, resembling the stereotypical limp wrist pose often associated with gay men.

I think that we should collectively start using this as a reaction image
A screenshot. It shows a frame from "1970's MEAT STRETCHING FOODS", a YouTube video by brutalmoose. It shows Ian stood at his kitchen counter, pulling a disgusted face. The frame is captioned in the top right corner with text that reads: "INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Ew?"

My girlfriend made a responsible purchase decision while she was at work.
A photo. It shows a small, unopened plastic tank of sea-monkeys - the commercialized name for brine shrimp. The tank is clear in the middle with a dark blue plastic top and bottom with a sticker of the Sea-Monkey brand logo on the latter. It has a paper insert that depicts an oceanic environment, alongside some stylized illustrations of sea-monkeys and some photos of the contents; A stirring spoon and three labelled packets containing water purifier, live sea-monkey eggs and growth food respectively. The paper insert reads: "IT'S EASY! JUST ADD WATER! The Original Sea-Monkey Ocean-Zoo. World's Only Instant Pets!" alongside a list of contents in the bottom left and a small diagram in the bottom right showing their growth, claiming that they can grow up to 2cm (0.78 in). There is a label on the top right of the tank that reads: "Sea Monkeys Ocean Zoo" above the price - £9.99 - and a bar code.

This reminds me of that one guy on TikTok who mixes different questionable drink combos and uses a facecam that makes him look vaguely like a garden gnome
A screenshot. It shows a YouTube short by the user @imjarons. The screenshot shows the aforementioned weird face cam, with Jaron's face right up close to the lens in a way that makes his nose looked pronounced and his body look tiny. It's captioned with "POV: i try your drink combos. 🤪 pt.59" and shows a TikTok commenter in the top left (who he's filmed this video in response to) who suggests that he try mixing hard candy, cough syrup and Sprite into a drink combo. This is a bad idea.

...Hello?
A screenshot showing the current likes on this post. It shows PixelArbiter (pixelarbiter.bsky.social) and Chiitan, a Japanese mascot and internet micro celebrity. Chittan, for some reason, has liked this post. A reaction meme. It shows one of the background fish characters from Spongebob SquarePants. He's sat at one of the tables at the Krusty Krab and looking behind him, eyes wide with shock.

Have an impromptu edit I just had to make with zero context. Enjoy.
A reaction meme image. It shows a crude digital drawing of a bald, white man in a tailcoat suit, bowing and tipping a bowler hat in respect. The lesbian flag has been imposed over it, opaque but visible over the top of the image. The word "Respect!!!" is typed in the bottom left.

I don't know what the likelihood is that I'm actually going to end up rendering this, so have this doodle I did of Livewire a few months back.

#art / #furryart / #fursona / #original_character / #dogdoodles.png 🎸⚡
A rough, traditional halfbody. It shows Livewire - an alternate version of my fursona - striking a pose. He's an anthropomorphic dog with a broad chest, floppy ears and a wild-looking glam rock hair style. He has whiskers that are sticking out in the shape of lightning bolts. He's shirtless and looking askew at the viewer with a cocky, devious expression while holding up his left hand in a blase peace sign and sticking his tongue out; Reminiscent of a rockstar. There are two bracelets slung limply around his wrist and a ring on his middle finger. There are exclamation marks drawn non-diegetically next to him.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
A screenshot from one of the Wallace & Gromit movies. Gromit - an anthropomorphic dog - is laid on a red couch under a throw blanket, staring off dejectedly towards the floor with a concerned look on his face.

In short,
A meme image. It shows the commonly quoted scene from Arrested Development where Tobias is talking to Michael and he says the line "Well, I don't want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help" - this line is subtitled at the bottom of the image. However, 9/11 has been edited out to say "Bagi" instead. Her name is in purple text, the same colour as her fur.

STOP⛔ This is a WIP checkpoint
QRP with your current WIP

I'm also currently sat on a metric fuckton of WIPs but I'll go ahead and show you this WIP I have of Arianna! Ho, alien monkey woman be upon ye.

#art / #furryart / #original_character / #dogdoodles.png 🐒☄️
A digital art piece that's currently a work in progress. It shows a bust from the neck up of Arianna, my original character. She's an alien species called an Ozbroshy - they resemble gibbons and she's no exception. She has pale brown and cream fur that covers everything but her face, ears and the front of her neck. She has pointed ears and an orange gular sac on her throat which is slightly inflated. She has a short, slightly outgrown pixie cut with a prominent fringe. She has white skin with freckled cheeks. She's smiling warmly at the viewer with her eyes closed. Her grin is wide and toothy, showing off her large canine teeth.

I got to see my entry again for the first time in seventeen years and in retrospect? It feels telling.

Behold, my perfect pet:

A dragon dog hybrid. A culmination of everything I was fixated on when I was seven and - in my opinion - an apt reflection of my interests later in life.

(3/4)
A photograph. It shows a page in an art book - titled at the top as "Perfect Pets 2008" - that is labelled in the bottom right corner as page 83. The page indicator is purple and shaped like a pawprint. The page shows a crude child's drawing of a hybrid animal: a dragon dog. It's drawn in felt tip pens. It's bright red with a yellow belly. It has yellow horns, a pair of sharp and yellow teeth, wings, scales, a crescent-shaped tail, freckles and two beady, toony-looking eyes. A photograph. It shows a close-up of the dragon dog from the previous photo, zoomed in closer to show it's face.

Mayhaps... a cheeky little almost 5 o'clock WIP. As a treat.
A screenshot of a canvas in GIMP, an open-source editing and drawing program. It shows a digital art piece drawn on top of a traditional sketch that's currently a work in progress; A headshot of Titus, a ginger tabaxi. He has bengal tiger-esque stripes and bright green eyes. He's pulling a confident, furrowed expression and looking at the viewer with his teeth slightly showing. The lineart on his hair - a ponytail - has been started around his hairline but is not yet finished.

I just realized that my avatar here and my avatar on Discord both currently happen to be dogs wearing baseball caps...

This wasn't deliberate but it's a funny coincidence. Guess this is my brand now.
A photo. It shows a Dalmatian from the shoulders upwards, facing the left with it's tongue hanging out. It's wearing a light pink baseball cap on it's head, faced backwards. A photo. It shows a Samoyed from the neck upwards, facing the middle left with it's tongue hanging out. It's wearing a blue baseball cap on it's head - faced forwards - and a pair of large sunglasses. The glare of light on the sunglasses is slightly obscuring it's eyes.

Just watched a playthrough of Clinical Trial.
A reaction meme. It shows a brown horse, staring wistfully towards the ocean while it stands on the beach. The image is captioned with the word "MAN" at the top, in all caps.

Either way, have a cheeky little ref sheet WIP yippeeeee

I finally started digitally lining the sketch I did for Circuit's reference sheet today and my boy is looking pretty good so far! Here's hoping it stays that way.
A work in progress screenshot. It shows a traditional sketch of a fullbody - that can only be seen from the mid torso upwards in the screenshot itself - that is currently half lined digitally. It shows Circuit, an anthropormorphic Jack Russell Terrier. His face has flat colour while the rest of him is still in sketch form. He is tan and brown with amber eyes. He has brown, floppy ears and orange markings under his eyes. He has thick eyebrows, sideburns and a toothy overbite. His hair is styled into a pompardour cut with a scruffy mullet towards the nape of his neck. He is shirtless and has double incision top surgery scars.

I want you to know I'm not proud of the speed in which this popped into my head.
A meme image. It's the Predator Handshake meme, captioned as follows: The left side reads "divorced dads", the right side reads "angsty teenagers" and the hands holding in the middle read "liking Limp Bizkit a bit too much"

A friend gave me some paint markers as a gift, so I took a character I got given on Toyhouse a while ago and used them to give them a test run.

Considering I don't usually do traditional art and I had to work with limited colours? This came out alright!

#art / #furry / #headshot / #dogdoodles.png
A traditional piece. It's a coloured, partially shaded headshot of a feline character named Eighty. They have long, bright red fur and lynx ears. They have a blue tuft of hair. Their markings are yellow, with a yellow stripe around each of their ears and a marking in the shape of the number eight on their right cheek. They have a long, forked pink tongue and blue eyes. They're pulling a cocky expression with one raised eyebrow and their tongue sticking out.

Looks like I'll have to send them in intervals of four 🤷

I took screenshots of these back then because they made me smile. There is still a user on Etsy by the same name but I'm not sure if they're the same seller?

They seem to sell stickers and kandi bracelets now.

Back in 2021, I was looking for a specific Beanie Baby plush so I tried looking on Etsy for it.

From there I stumbled across a seller called "96rainb0ws" who sold plushies under some fun listing names. Please look at some of these I still have screenshots of.

Well, progress on my other WIPs is a tad slow right now. So here's the before and after of a custom design I made for somebody over on Toyhouse!

They wanted a furby design themed after fruit (any kind; I went with oranges and mangoes) and summer.

#art / #custom_design / #furby / #dogdoodles.png 🍊🌊
A rough traditional sketch. It depicts a classic 1990s Furby. They're smiling warmly at the viewer, sat in a neutral pose. A digital art piece. It's the same art as before but fully rendered digitally; It depicts a classic 1990s Furby. They're orange with a cream-coloured belly and ears as well as a green mane and tail, accented with lighter green streaks. Their eyes are a bright, light blue colour. They're smiling warmly at the viewer, sat in a neutral pose. The background is abstract, consisting of a light blue gradient.

Earlier today, my girlfriend and I were having a conversation about cereal mascots.

She's of the opinion that the Honey Monster from Sugar Puffs has "bear energy" and that he resembles an older sugar daddy you'd stumble across on Grindr. Her words, not mine.
A photo. It's a promotional photo of Honey Monster, the mascot of a brand of cereal in the UK known as Sugar Puffs. He's a big, yellow monster with shaggy fur and brown eyes. He's wearing a red tracksuit jacket with white stripes down the sleeves, khaki trousers and the letters "HM" printed on the right hand side standing for "Honey Monster". He's smiling and looking at the camera, with his arms outstretched as if posing for the photographer. A photo. It shows the cover of a box of Sugar Puffs, a brand of cereal in the UK. The mascot is shown on the box; Honey Monster. He's a big, yellow monster with shaggy fur and brown eyes. He's wearing a red t-shirt and smiling fondly as he takes a spoonful of cereal from a blue and white bowl. The text on the box reads: "Honey Monster Sugar Puffs" on the top and "with real honey" on the bottom right, with nutritional information shown across the top and bottom left corner of the box. He's in an open field with a blue sky and green grass behind him, as well as bees happily buzzing around him. A photo. It's a promotional photo of Honey Monster, the mascot of a brand of cereal in the UK known as Sugar Puffs. He's a big, yellow monster with shaggy fur and brown eyes. He's wearing a plain white t-shirt and can only be seen from the waist up. He's smiling and looking at the camera, with his arms gesturing to himself as if posing for the photographer. The background is a close-up photo of Sugar Puffs cereal.

Occassionally I like to specifically seek out tacky ornaments and knick knacks, whether online or in person. Just for fun because I find them neat!

Please take a look at this very doe-eyed lion that I found one time while going down a rabbit hole looking specifically for 1950s ornaments.
A photo. It shows a 1950s ceramic lion ornament. It has gold fur, a light brown mane and upturned, sad-looking green eyes with prominent eyelashes. It is in a relaxed laying pose with it's front paws crossed. It is being displayed on a blue and yellow background. A photo. It's a close-up of the previous image, showing the lion's face.
