As the sun sets on the Old West, a young outlaw is faced with a dire choice: his freedom or sparing the man he loves.

A thrilling queer western awaits: therackoon.itch.io/down-the-riv...
A wolf and a coyote sitting on an old timey car as they drive through the forest at night. They are both dressed in western style clothes. The wolf looks smug while the coyote seems indifferent. A coyote skinny dips in a lake. The lighting is golden and beautiful, presenting a peaceful environment. The coyote is showing his back but his head is turned to look at the viewer with a flirtatious smile. A text box at the bottom reads: "Javi: How's the view now?". A bear, a big deer and a coyote all standing in a saloon. They are dressed appropriately to the western theme. The bear has a stoic stare as he looks at the smug deer and the meek coyote. A wolf stares down at a coyote as they are about to face off.

Just want to add to this: if you have a vision for what you want from the artist you're commissioning, simple stick figures can go a long way in addition to descriptions. I promise it saves everyone a lot of time and effort. Artists will seriously appreciate it!

"But AI is useful in the planning phase to inspire our concept, vision and give our artists guidance."

No, it fucking isn't. I can take ten minutes of my time to pull ideas out of my brain using stick figures and then my real artists will do an amazing job bringing them to life.

Concept sketches for a character scene in our visual novel. We se a character chopping wood, fishing, cooking and finally serving a plate. The rendered result of the concepts shown in the previous image. Concept sketches using stick figures of two characters facing off in a duel. The first panel shows them intensely staring at each other, then the next one shows them standing with one of them reaching for their gun, the third one shows a dramatic view of the environment and the last one shows the sun coming up behind the mountains. The rendered result of the previous concept sketches, now beautifully and abstractly represented.

"Listen here you fucking twink, there will never be any more bear cups, ever. Now take your soy frappuccino and get the fuck out"
Sigmund, the bear from our VN, Down's The River's Edge, is photoshopped into a coffee shop where he angrily stares with his arms crossed.

Sharing some concept art and reference sheets for each of the characters! All of these were designed and drawn by @meowtheopulos.bsky.social, who did an amazing job bringing our colorful and sexy cast to life!
Reference sheet for Javier "Javi" Prado. He is a coyote with grey, orange and cream colored fur. The sheet shows his cowboy outfit on the left side and some expressions on the right side. In the middle you can see a front and back reference of his body. Reference sheet for Nathaniel "Nate" Hemlock. He is a deer with dark blue, brown and cream colored fur. The sheet shows his cowboy outfit on the left side and some expressions on the right side. In the middle you can see a front and back reference of his body. Reference sheet for Sigmund. He is a big black bear with some light brown details. The sheet shows his regular and bartending outfit on the right side and some facial expressions on the left. Reference sheet for Cormac Wolfgang. He is a grey wolf with blue eyes. On the left of the sheet you can see some of his facial expressions and on the right you can see his U.S. Marshal outfit with and without his coat.

Made a separate account to share some more stuff about the VN in case you are just interested in FVN stuff and not my nudes lol.

Go follow: @downtheriversedge.bsky.social

Might adapt that account eventually once we move on to other VN projects.

Helping out a new friend 🦇🐈🦎🐉🐕⚰️ #furry #furryart
A furry/anthro bat man with broken antler is laying in a now open wooden coffin that has been dug out of the ground by surrounding characters. The bat man is in a white suit with the coat open, a bright orange inner shirt with a lot dot pattern and bright blue tie that has been loosened. The surrounding characters are all furries as well. They are (clockwise): a cat sitting casually at the edge of the grave with their legs dangling handing their phone to the bat as the screen shows to be of a call being received; a green lizard man wearing a yellow and white longsleeve shirt, happily and easily carrying the cover of the coffin with both hands; a red dragon man wearing a black shirt and sandals with one hand holding a shovel, and his free hand extended slightly with the palm facing up; and a light golden dog woman with short blond hair that seems to obstruct her eyes and she holding the handle of a shovel. The bat seems tired, maybe confused, looking at the phone offered by the cat. His mouth is open and there is text saying "Ah, fuck..."
