From the same month that DOS 5.0 was released: Jun 1991.
The difficulty here is amazing:
You can only erase paper so many times. (Limited "undo.")
A character AND their reflection.
Complications: Perspective. Pose. Hands grasping. Landscape detail.

Here is "Topher, the world's cutest otter" -- but giant.
The pencils are from 1988 by @kencougr.bsky.social
The inked image is from 1989 by Topher's creator Deal Whitley.
Ken would have fun drawing people's characters giant with the byline "slightly altered."

"Hey! Can I get a copy of that?"
Scanners were rare/expensive in the early days. It was more common to have access to a photocopier.
These @kencougr.bsky.social pencils from a 1993 blackbook-entry arrive here via a photocopy. Burn-line and all.

It may seem splitting hairs now, but in the early days there was more than a little discourse from werewolf fans on what made a lycanthrope vs a furry.

Now I went to Macro dinners starting at about 2000 Anthrocon. We never went to a "Charley's"
Anyone got the story on this? Anyone know who drew it? Which con?

A large, weighty paw from 1989 by @kencougr.bsky.social
Hands and feet are hard to draw. It's not an understatement to say that Ken's work helped set a standard for peets.
Scanned photocopy of (likely) india ink on bristol.

First, a 2010 slice-of-life piece by @suedeer.bsky.social - SueDeer giving me my birthday cake.
And when there are artists ... the cake-game gets insane...
Try it. It's fun. Gel icing can act like a pen.

I guess now-a-days, most folks know Al Mackey as the creator of the linux fox mascot #Xenia
He did other art, of course. This is a 1996 print of a cute anthro tiger kitten and his favorite snack.

Furry and anime crossed paths a lot. And that's going back through the "share the Japanese-only video tape copies" years.
This is "The Dirty Pairy" re-imagined as furries.
Raised ink print on Bristol.

On what to do when your friend shows up in their "taur" form.
From 1994, pencils by Tarin. The other character is Vala, I believe.
No idea if either are on BlueSky.
I think I downloaded this art off of avatar.snc.edu as "TaurTease.gif" back in 1995.

I mentioned both @joeartguy.bsky.social the artist and @broknheadphones.bsky.social fronting "The Dirtbombs."
Here's the band's self-portrait and cover art from the 1998 album "Horndogfest."

In the first handful of years, Anthrocon had paper inserts for their badges where you could draw or display your OCs art.
Teasel was kind enough to sketch and color mine.
Pen & colored pencils.

Anyone else remember that time when @roxikat.bsky.social met Sasta?
I'm assuming the art is mid-1990s or earlier. No idea the artist.

Let's look at some art from another person who's disappeared: Slinky.
Two digital and one pencils from the early 2000s:
Toni the Tigress.
Advice on weasels.
And a stylized portrait of some giant tiger or something.

Have some Eric Elliot werewolf, werefox and weretiger art.
Old-school digitigrade!
Circa 1992/1993. Pencils, markers, and a very early example of digital coloring.
