#Inktober Day 17: Basil (The Great Mouse Detective)

It always struck me that the first scene we see of Basil involves him failing. He's still brilliant, but clearly imperfect. I love that. I enjoy heroes who are competent yet fallible.
#furryart #Disney

Basil of Baker Street is seated in a large charge and deeply contemplating something as a closed window is behind him with rain spattering against it.

#Inktober Day 16: Emerald (friend OC)

Emerald is a musically-inclined fox, as seen here! I've actually drawn her a few times over the years, and I was struggling to find a new way to incorporate her music theme. So I went ahead and turned the dial up to 11 and made her a one-man-band!

Happy to do it! He was a cute character to begin with ;)

#Inktober Day 15: Raichu ( #Pokemon)

I thought today's theme would be a good opportunity/excuse to try drawing a character from @darqlugia.bsky.social, one of my online buddies. His character, Ned, is a very fun concept: Middle-aged Raichu salaryman! I just couldn't resist.
#furryart #Nintendo

A middle-aged Raichu from the Pokemon series is sitting on a sofa and playing a Nintendo 3DS XL. He is powering the system using electricity from his own tail. Games and a briefcase lay alongside him on the sofa.

#Inktober Day 14: Quill

Speaking of Street Fighter... Quill here was directly inspired by a couple of characters from the franchise. She's a ninja avian who's in charge of scouting and spying for one of my villains. She's grown on me over the years as I've learned more about her.
#furryart

A bird is hanging upside down in a room, seemingly training or meditating, as she's interrupted by a lizard who is standing behind a sliding door.

#Inktober Day 13: Q (Street Fighter)

The #StreetFighter series was a huge inspiration for me, which at least partially explains why I draw such large hands and feet on my characters ;) Q was a special favorite. I had a project on my desk for years as a teen that was an attempt to draw him.
#capcom

Q, from Capcom's Street Fighter series, is reaching out towards the viewer from a worms-eye view. His hand is large and imposing, but his face is expressionless.

Oh, and his character is a winged cat, not a fox ;) He wanted to make that clear.

Chameleonice @chameleonice.bsky.social · 5d

One in the same! Blast from the past, right? :)

#Inktober Day 12: Timothius (friend OC)

Behold the fuzzy face of the fellow that I'm doing these prompts with! This is his primary fursona, though he's also a character all his own. Whenever I see this cute fluffball, I just wanna give him the biggest snuggle...
#furryart

#Inktober Day 11: Ohno (Mighty Orbots)

I have never heard of this show before starting Inktober this year, as I wasn't ever into robots like the Transformers and such. It's actually a really endearing little gem with a fun art style, so I can see why it inspired my friend so strongly!
#art #orbots

Ohno from the Might Orbots series is sliding under another robot's legs while waving at the camera, looking proud of herself.

While I'm definitely most interested in works involving anthro characters(which includes stuff like Yoshi), I'm not limited to that. I absolutely encourage you to post your stuff! I remember you had some fun ER artwork back in the day, for instance.

#Inktober Day 10: Charlotte

I've posted Charlotte up here before, but I still put her on my Inktober list since I always enjoy drawing her. Considering her love of neon and pastel colors, I think Char would be a natural fan of arcades and probably #DDR. Not my best attempt at perspective.
#furryart

An anthropomorphic female bunny rabbit is dancing on a DDR dance pad, wearing rave bracelets, and generally having an excellent time!

#Inktober Day 09: Rocky (Lackadaisy)

It's technically just before midnight as I post this, so I've still got it in before the day is over!
#Lackadaisy was a ridiculously inspirational comic to me. I've done an entire write-up on it, but I'm mostly just happy now to see it doing so well.
#furryart

Rocky Rickaby from the webcomic Lackadaisy is hanging from a lamppost and looking like he's daydreaming about something wonderful, smiling happily with his eyes closed.

#Inktober Day 8: Amy (friend's OC)

I was out of town these past two days, so I unfortunately was delayed in getting my Inktober art penned and scanned. Drat! Either way, here's Amy, a cute psychic mouse girl who can constantly see five seconds into the future... and likes bubble tea?
#furryart

#Inktober Day 07: True Heart Bear (Care Bears)

I was a huge Care Bears fan, growing up, and I always loved the big movies that they had, so I decided to depict True Heart as she appeared in that film. It always amazes me how much they did with so little in those movies.
#furryart #carebears

A Care Bear is walking down a spooky forest path with leaves and branches in the foreground. The branch looks mysteriously like a hand!

This is my take on this fun little chart! I wonder what the patterns here reveal about my favorite fighting game playst-... *looks at all the ears and tails with almost no gameplay similarities* Oh... Oh dear...
Uh... I guess I clearly like zoners and charge characters? :D

#Inktober Day 06: Anne (my OC)

There's some level of poetic justice that the character I rolled today is the character that had her outfit inspired by Tanya. Anne is a very old character for me, and one of her defining traits (aside from her faith) is that she makes her own dresses.
#furryart

Ooo... I'm a fan of this one. Definitely gonna have to give it a shot! It's a bit of a shame that there's only a slot for 'waifu' and not one for the male equivalent, though I guess you could put either there.

#Inktober Day 05: Tanya (An American Tail)

I saw Fievel Goes West before I actually saw the first film, so this version of Tanya always stuck in my mind. Don Bluth had an incredible impact on me as a storyteller and an artist. I still strive to embody those lessons.

#Inktober day 04: Maverick (friend's OC)

I don't normally draw humans, but my friend's OC list has a couple (and the dice said to), and Mav here is especially important to him. He's a street urchin type of kid living in the SatAM #Sonic universe. He likes to stab bad bots!

#Inktober 2025 Day 3: Blinky Bill (friend's inspiration)

Although this was drawn from a list of my friend's inspirations, Blinky Bill is still a character that I've a bit of a history with! He was actually the subject of one of my earliest commissions. It was fun to revisit him!
#furryart #koala

Blinky Bill the koala is balancing on a fallen log as he traverses across a stream in the outback. A crocodile (though perhaps not a very tough one) is swimming in the stream below.

#Inktober 2025 Day 02: Fiona Sixtus

I created Fiona in high school when I was deeply into debate. I would use her to express my views and vent my frustrations about issues. I eventually fleshed her out into an actual character. And, yes, she has six rings on her tail.
#furryart #raccoon

And so I start #Inktober!
Day 01: Sawyer (Cats Don't Dance)

This movie meant a ton to me, but it also led to me discovering the CDD fan community and one of my artistic idols: Shelly Pleger. That set me on such a journey...
#furryart #CatsDontDance

So, for this #Inktober, I'm doing something slightly different! I'm doing the challenge with an online friend and we're following a fun four day format. Day 1: Draw a character that inspired your art. 2: One of your OCs. 3: A character that inspired the other. 4: One of their OCs. Then repeat!
