Year in review! I wasn't at the time, but I'm proud of myself. It was very hard to find a piece for *every* month, let alone one I was satisfied enough with!
a 2024 summary of art, with small squares corresponding to each month that show segments of drawings. some are sketchy and some are finished

Some art of the talusclan cats (: these are all focused on the same two characters but they're not even high on my favorites list, i think it's interesting.
Med cat campionstream and her daughter, leader russetstar!
drawing of a rocky, steep area. campionstream, a mostly-white calico, is on top of a stone spire helping russetstone, a fluffier calico, climb up. the setting sun is hitting the spire, and russetstone looks up at it with awe. the background is a photo of a steep cliff drawing of four cats in distress. asphodelberry is helping russetstar walk, both of them covered in blood. cormorantnose sheepishly looks up at russetstar with concern, and skipperclaw runs ahead, crying out in alarm. russetstar is missing her front left leg and looks extremely dazed. asphodelberry looks completely shocked. the background is a photo of a rocky tundra, and a disorienting effect is put over the whole image sketchy headshot of a young campionstream looking ashamed. her hair is longer and red. the background of the drawing is vague splotches of color, as is the shading. neon-like text reads "the dream has gone but the baby is real", a lyric from 'this night has opened my eyes'

I generated a warriors clan and for the past few weeks have been having so much fun with it. Right now i'm on the designs of pre-canon characters! This is Loonpaw (Loonstorm) who is later exiled for reasons yet unknown to me (:

Can you tell who my favorite warriors character was for like two years (second and fourth pics were collabs with bloodmoonbarking)
drawing of two quad cats- bristlefrost, who is light gray and gold, and rootspring, who is scrawny and dark brown with a blonde mullet. they are hugging, and bristlefrost is very happy scene drawing of bristlefrost looking at the forest with panic. the grass is turning to snow, and the warm sunlight is turning to frigid blue darkness. the cheerful cats sitting around her- ivypool, squirrelflight, and crowfeather- don't seem to notice it. halfbody drawing of bristlefrost sinking into deep water. she is anguished and crying. text behind her says "BELIEVE ME" cute fullbody of bristlefrost lying in her nest, which is full of flowers. she is sleeping peacefully in the sunlight

Throwback to my old bristlefrost design (compared to my new one)
Also featuring spotfur and rootspring. i should draw this design again!
a drawing of three quadrupedal cats walking through snow, with a city skyline in the distance. the main cat is gray with darker gray tabby patches, and the other two are shades of brown. drawing of two quadrupedal cats hugging. one is brown with a blonde mullet, the other is gray and yellow. we can only see bristlefrost (gray)'s face, and she is very happy

This is awesome?? I’ve loved your refs for so long and it’s so cool that you’re doing a raffle for one! I’m so excited for whoever wins.
I’d either do my sona, who I haven’t had time to make a new ref for since redesigning him, or an old well-loved warrior cats OC made anthro

Your art is SO cute, these are awesome!! This is my friend's sona, she doesn't have an official design so feel free to go with either of these variations [:

(i forgot to mention that i'd love if you'd give him clothes, any style! if you don't like drawing clothes i have a quad character to enter)
The second picture wasnt updated to fix mistakes and is only here for scar reference- markings are correct on the first pic
a cartoony drawing of two quadrupedal cats. one is gray and very fluffy, with a dark mane down her neck and a ring tied to her tail. the other is skinny and brown, with lots of scars as well as a yellow ribbon tied to her upper arm a less finished version of the gray cat drawing, with the brown cat edited out now. scars are sketched in over the drawing.

This is actually one of my sonas but since I'm not much of an artist anymore he only has the on-base design I made! So excited to have found your art through this!

recent furry art, tall edition
tall drawing of an anthro wolf in a graceful pose, leaning down to hide a knife inside her boot. her eyes are closed. above her looms a large closeup image of a wolf mask. its fake, silicone eyes are vacant, and its faux fur is scruffy. in the middle of the image, in a shaky font, is the word "CREEP" drawing of a brown feral cat sitting in snowy woods at night. the snow around him is drenched in blood, which stains his face and chest. he has no visible wounds. the colors are largely blue and purple, and he is framed between silhouettes of trees in the foreground. snow is falling heavily sketchy halfbody drawing of a canine character hanging upside down and giving a peace sign. there are blue lighting effects that look cool halfbody drawing of an anthro dog standing outside of what appears to be a bar. they have long shaggy hair and are wearing a cute outfit consisting of a denim jacket, striped pants, and either a crop top or a total lack of undershirt. they are holding a beer and standing next to a dark doorway. neon letters glow blue above their head. i'm going to be real with you i don't think i was actually spelling a word when i drew this, just putting letters. the neon sign casts blue lighting on the dog.

Some more semi-recent furry art!
a sketchy drawing of leopardstar, a feral cat with gold and brown fur, lying on a riverbank. she looks sad. the palette is light and dreamlike, consisting of mostly pale blueish-green. there is text saying "leopardstar's honour" icon of an anthro dog character. his eyes are closed and he is barking happily. sketchy drawing of an anthro dog sitting on a bed at night. halloween string lights cast an orange glow. the dog is sweating heavily, dressed in only shorts, and the drawing conjures a feeling of intense heat. also on the bed are three stuffed animals and a sleeping feral cat. icon of a feral cat character. the cat is orange and white, with a stern expression. one eye is heavily scarred. there is intense late afternoon lighting, with a photo bg of a pine forest.
