Jory 🟨⬜️🟪⬛️ @cursorial.bsky.social · Nov 4

Hiya! I'm Jory (late 20s, they/them), a pine marten with an abiding affection for animals, nature, and art things—also, video- and board games! Fittingly for my species, I also boulder and drink too much coffee.

I'm a scientist by profession, but all opinions my own, etc.

I mainly commission art!!

Digital drawing by the artist Feer, depicting

An anthropomorphic pine marten (they/them) with rusty red fur and a cream throat is flanked by trees, with mountains in the background. The marten is wearing a red scarf and holds grains of wheat in their right paw, suggesting thriving growth. Their teal eyes are fixed on the night sky, the stars, and the full moon above. They are smiling in awe. A soft golden glow illuminates them from behind, haloing the fur around their neck and face.

Digital art by the artist Krysiilys.

A tarot card evoking the Ace of Wands, featuring the pine marten with red fur again. They are clasping to their chest a giant-sized paintbrush, and wearing a grey cloak. The brush has painted a swath of daybreak colours across the night sky in the background; in the darkness, falling stars form lines like rain on a window. A stylised moon/sun is bisected by the brushstroke.

The marten is pensive, thinking deeply, as if they are reaching deep into themselves for inspiration or direction.

Digital art by the artist Ale Green (aledles)!

A little sketch featuring the pine marten in more cartoony form, wielding the giant paintbrush again—a reference to the video game Chicory: A Colorful Tale. The paintbrush streaks across the composition, leaving pink and blue in its wake. The marten looks like they are trying their best!

Digital art by the artist Haulle (teratobite).

An inverted bust showing the head and neck of a pine marten with red and cream fur, swathed in a checkered red scarf. They are framed by an inverted triangle and a scattering of falling autumnal leaves which form a circle around the marten. The marten has opened their mouth in a toothy, chompy smile. The gradient of the fur colours running down their back parallels the colours of fall.

anyway all this to say, fuck it I'm uploading whatever's on my mind first

lore: Jory is from when I made up a D&D oneshot PC and my DM threw me a bone with anthros as as a species option. I panicked and landed on the first name + non-canine species I could think of, like "this is a throwaway character I don't wanna get attached to"

I think I got attached to it in the end

Jory 🟨⬜️🟪⬛️ @cursorial.bsky.social · 1d

rare first-edition Jory! this is the very first look at the character that would become my sona when they were first concepted

🎨: mollie rose (I think they're still active on another handle I can't remember ;-; I can never thank you enough for this, it's framed under my TV to date)

#cursorialcomms

B/W lineart of two anthropomorphic characters in a fantasy setting. A pine marten in traveling clothes is playing an ocarina; behind them, a dog in a cloak sits reading a map, looking at the marten with quiet fondness. The piece has delicate gold detailing, so fine it's almost imperceptible

The awesome @joabaldwin.com commissioned me to draw his characters Banook and Sterjall from the #NossSaga! This painting taught me a lot, and what a joy Joaquín is to work with ☺️ Thank you a million times!!🌻

Illustration created for the book series called The Noss Saga. Pictured are a bear with golden fur, cradling a dark anthropomorphic wolf on his lap. It is nighttime and they are outside, sitting in front of a campfire. They look happy and relaxed.

going through my old comms to re-upload and here's another one by @johannatarkela.com! My second ever commission dating back to... 2016?? I'm still so so in awe how hard Johis went on this one ;-;

#cursorialcomms

an anthropomorphic culpeo walks hesitantly through calf-deep water in a forest that glows with diffuse green light; no light source is clear. The culpeo is holding a compass and looking around like they might be lost. On a horizontal branch above them, probably unseen, walks a sure-footed clouded leopard. The clouded leopard peers down at the culpeo. The world reflected in the water's surface is ablaze with indigo, violet, and teal; the clouded leopard's markings in the reflection are an eerie blue. The culpeo doesn't seem to notice.

This is so apt because it occurred to me earlier this year that almost all my comms have been smiling/happy/peaceful things and while that's aspirational, it's starting to feel like false advertising when IRL I'm always grumpy/anxious/tired

Jory 🟨⬜️🟪⬛️ @cursorial.bsky.social · 2d

If you come across this post, post your sona NOT smiling

🎨: @/ljesak.bsky.social

A painterly waist-up portrait by Maki/Ljesak in dark, earth-toned brushstrokes depicting an anthropomorphic pine marten, nude, staring off into the top right with a neutral expression. There is tension and inscrutable emotion, like they're ruminating. They wear glasses and a small wedding band.

Awww no saw this late but as a fellow flaky friend for various reasons, the LAST thing you need is to feel guilty for feeling unwell!! Replying isn't an obligation and nobody is mad if you don't reach out 🫂

Lots of love and well wishes, health shit is so unfair and exhausting, this isn't your fault
