a value/colour experiment doodle
it's the dino anthro man (original character concept: toastyfuzzbuns, acquired via adopt). he's doing a point at you and frowning. he's wearing an orange hat, yellow glasses, a red t-shirt, tan shorts, and a wristwatch. the colours themselves are overlaid with brighter complementary and contrasting counterparts

expression practise (feat. farres)
oc farres doing a laugh. he's got his usual golden mohawk, fu manchu beard, and sideburns, as well as the funky square glasses with a beaded bridge. he's wearing a simple red hoodie. a lot of little errors here and there because i was getting frustrated at failing shoulders and arms for the umpteenth time, so i just went with this. i also planned on using it as an icon, but it looks awful when zoomed out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ANYWAY hello, alt-text enjoyers

angle study junk
looking up at some leaky rod-to-hole action between a human and some random scaly figure

study doodle
ref study. messy doodle of a shirtless anthropomorphic canine man outside near the ocean or something, grinning at the camera. slowly working on looser poses and more expressive faces, as well as anthro heads that don't look like giant blocks. not sure how well any of that came across, but at least the colours are nice

🐊☀️

big thanks to @cafurccino.bsky.social for this lovely icon of farres
it's ya scaly boi smiling and showing off some teef. he's in some summer duds - a black cap, and a black tank top to show off his upper arm tattoo 💪 - and has on his trademark glasses. he's also let his whiskers grow out a bit

something absolute
a moo with some icing ref study-ish. it's not a perfect drawing by any stretch, but eh.

that "ten games to get to know me" thing floating around. 🎮 choices are hard (and probably also just talking to myself here)
clockwise from top left: the curse of monkey island, mass effect: legendary edition, final fantasy x, ace attorney trilogy, halo: the master chief collection, dragon age ii, katamari damacy, mario & luigi: superstar saga, the legend of zelda: oracle of seasons (equally could be oracle of ages), and guild wars 2

back study junk
very rough sketch of a nondescript anthro wolf from behind or something, based on a reference photo. i've barely drawn any back views and i want to get more comfortable with it, so why not start now, i guess. this is also me not studying animal heads from unusual angles

northern warmths (a junk sketch)
aging anthro bear giving the ol' pipe a squeeze. companion piece to the sfw "northern winters". it's really skewed and fails the canvas flip test, but i guess the vibe's alright

⚠️ [cw: blood, depression]

black earth
loose sketch of a nude wolf. blood drips from his arm and leg, and a pool of it lies beneath and behind him as he plods along a sparse black landscape. a yellow moon hovers behind his head, wherein you might consider interpreting it as a halo instead. while i'm always some level of depressed and constantly think about very morbid things, you have my full assurance that it never becomes actionable and that this type of content from me is extremely rare.

dino man, flacid pp version. i keep skipping leg day in my anatomy studies, so we won't dwell on that dino man, but he's a bit stiff. feel free to focus on that instead of everything that's wrong in this drawing

wip - linework 🦖
linework of a dino in casual clothes and stuff. probably disjointed because i'm still fumbling my way through lower body anatomy, and angles suck

i hate drawing clean linework and anatomy with a passion, but at least i like how these pecs look

/visage
it's a lean roegadyn (kind of ish maybe probably) doing the /visagecapture emote, but with a smartphone. he's got a bunch of body hair and stuff, and he's wearing a speedo that has a not-so-subtle outline and a li'l peekaboo shaft. my trademark anatomy mishaps are present because i keep putting off actual studies and i made the mistake of not getting a formal art education

nothing beats a good cup of coffee and your favourite vinyl records after a long day

🎨: @xone3log.bsky.social - thanks again ❤️
hybrid reptile farres in a barefooted office casual outfit: a red polo, black undershirt, and black slacks. on his face is a set of blue-tinted glasses with a black frame; the bridge is a set of golden beads. he sports golden hair in the form of a mohawk, sideburns, and a fu manchu. he's in a relaxed standing pose, his tattooed left hand holding a cup full of hot coffee, and his right hand pressed against a rectangular record player sitting on an open cabinet. the cabinet contains a video player on the first shelf, and on the bottom shelf there's set of vertical records (visible: plantasia, american football, sunbather, and don't trust mirrors). on top of the cabinet behind the record player sits a small plant and a speaker. there's a simple abstract background of leaves, and the shading suggests a gentle evening sunlight. alternate version of the first image. his glasses have been removed to show his face more clearly.

study doodle 🥁
it's a yeen playing drums. he's wearing a blue t-shirt and some jeans, and has on a pair of rounded green spectacles. it's overall a bit messy because i didn't want to spend too long on this and just wanted to do something with the concept in question. we won't talk about the appendages :^)

also, have this reject ref doodle
badly drawn back view of a croc/gator with tail lifted, showing buns, hole, and balls. he's got on a shirt that's been scrunched. the tail's probably too high up since i don't really know this angle well right now and haven't taken the time to study how other people have done it

self-indulgent ref doodle + style experiment #furryart #nsfw

tbd if this is something i'll be doing more often. just kind of getting my bearings
sepia-toned doodle of a half-assed canine muzzle and some random guy's junk aimed at it. there's spunk and stuff on the tongue and down the chin. lighting was intended to suggest it was taken with flash at night, but eh, i'm still learning

ref study doodle #furryart #nsfw
it's an anthro beaw. his jacket and pants (if you want to call them that) are open, and his shirt's stretched behind his thicc neck. he's playing with his nipnip and lightly grasping his vitamin d that's been brought out of his undiewundies. he's probably softly moaning or something like that. his anatomy is bad and the clothes are bad because i'm bad. thank you for allowing me to waste your time with my lousy alt text. i'll take it more seriously when i receive a formal complaint, probably.

grumpy shark doodle
a pale-blue anthropomorphic shark in a mud-green shirt crosses his arms and scowls at the viewer. his cap with an embossed chevron slightly covers his eye. the fin on his head has two stud piercings, while the fin on the back of his neck has three ring piercings. his jaw and neck has a thin beard, and some body hair is present on his arms and chest. i don't know that anyone reads these, but i hope the effort is good enough because i'm awful at knowing how much to expound upon. usually, i just slap a joke here and call it a day, or just slap myself for bad anatomy. speaking of, that right arm is being special. thank you for coming to my ted talk

farres taking in a good book and embracing his bigger side

🎨: @dippu.bsky.social - thanks again!
oc hybrid reptile farres, but reimagined as a hefty boi in this sketch comm. he's reading a book and pondering its contents while sitting in the nude, a little bit of his shaft showing above his feet. (might have to update my ref to be like this now, tbh)

anuberus doodle #xxlwoofia
anuberus from xxl woofia, leaning against a table. he and his two heads regard the viewer with different intents. ish. i originally planned to have him sitting on a motorcycle while wearing biker gear, since he has that kind of vibe, but shapes are hard. maybe later?
