Tala/TJ | they/them | I love art more than I like making it.
Always gonna crack up when companies grab the Mufasa Clip Art instead of the Simba one when they make stuff like this.

It's like a strange AU where cub Simba died to the stampede instead, so Mufasa ran off and joined the Hakuna-Matata-life with Timon and Pumbaa.

I think this is the last I have of the #oldart postings of TalaWolf.

2006.
A bookmark I made of Toasty And TalaWolf, using digital and colored pencil.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me to take a picture of it BEFORE I put the tassel string on?

TalaWolf and Sanchez, her imaginary goat friend.

Lion-ized Gollum was a thing I just kept doing back then.

2006.

Every year I would make a Valentine's card for my friend Toasty of Tala maiming them in some way accidentally. It's how I show I care :)

2000.

I don't know what's more cringe; my pathetic sense of humor or my drawings from this time.

Just because it might be amusing (maybe only to me XD) Here's some of my favorite Tala art that I've done over the years:

This one is an inked drawing from 2003 featuring a song that was kind of my anthem at that time (I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones)

I have many years of experimentation under my belt, so I feel like I can do things in basically any style I want now. Still using Photoshop, but leaning more into Clip Studio Paint as my primary. TalaWolf's design is shifting slightly.

2007
No CGI work, or even colored work, for this time period. Everything was sketched in a sketchbook, and everything is grayscale. This is also around the time that I dropped art for about a decade.

2006
I finally figured out how to do inking with the tablet, only to switch my style to sketchy inking for some reason? Work was almost 100% CGI around this time, and I used predominately Photoshop as well as Corel Painter.

2004-2005
TABLET OBTAINED. I kicked Jasc PSP to the curb and started doing everything in Photoshop. I couldn't figure out inking with the tablet, so almost all linework was done with Micron pens and scanned.

2003
Also I started to acquire more quality real media tools. I got my first packs of Prismacolor pencils and did a lot of real media pieces using them. I made so many artists friends during this time and learned so much from various communities.

2002
Big tails covering wonky hind leg anatomy! Mostly CGI at this point and I started using more tutorials and working my way around Jasc PSP and a little bit of Photoshop while at school. Linework was done with the mouse with the Linework tool in PaintShopPro.
July 2, 2025 at 5:22 AM
2001
Here comes the linework experimentations. Linework was mostly done with scanned inked drawings lined with a fine-liner pen or sharpie. I also experimented a little bit with the linework tool in Jasc Paint Shop Pro all mouse drawn.

1999-2000
Here's where TalaWolf starts to finally surface as a persona (or fursona, whatever.) Mostly real media at this point from a cheap wooden box of assorted art supplies.
July 2, 2025 at 5:19 AM
1998
TalaWolf was just a very rough character then, not even meant to be a persona or anything. Only one sketch of her in an old sketchbook exists, may have been drawn in 1998 or 1999.

This was entirely self-indulgent.

#Pride month always leaves me with mixed feelings. Trying to gain control of bodily autonomy and self-ownership is very difficult for me and I'm still struggling to make things feel right. How can I ever feel like I can be comfortable in a body that will never feel like it's my own? (/rhetorical)
