Some things about me:
1. I’m a furry artist, though I draw so slowly that you’re in no danger of getting flooded.
2. I have an art feed and a Malagasy language trivia feed.
3. A lot of my art is 18+.
4. I repost a lot of stuff, some of which can be 18+.
5. Openly NOT a fan of conservative causes.

Vici can't flirt, but she sure as hell gets flirted with

My character Vicidia (in a cyberpunk AU) stands in front of two girls at a club, a hand on her hip and looking a little awkward. The girl on the left is a fox with red hair, and the right is a cat with blue hair. The fox is holding a drink, and there is dialogue as follows:
Vici: I'm trying to find a-
Fox: Oh? We're right here, hon
Vici: N-No, I-
Cat: Ooh, you work out, babe?
Vici: Uh, yes... but, I'm-
Cat: We can chat more in a private room~
Vici: U-Uh... Okay

If you think positively every day,

work hard,

strive to be the best version of yourself,

surround yourself with inspiring people,

and never give up,

there is absolutely no limit to how hard you can burn out.

Addendum: eepy brain here. She doesn’t find it “suspicious”. She finds it “worrying”.

Hmmm. Should I or shouldn’t I snark to that Belgian stranger on Facebook who wanted to let me know that it’s “suspicious” that I know at least a few people who would find nothing wrong with drawing stegosaur erotica?

Plenty of people have pointed out (on local media) that this all happened on the anniversary of the declaration of the Malagasy Republic (1958).

Not as far as I know, but this is Madagascar, so maybe we’ll know three weeks after we needed to.

As a shaman destined to have a shaman daughter, Scrawny Marten's position in her tribe was very important. The conception of her daughter was a serious matter, involving specific rituals.

So her first experience was not the best. Her and Cave Lion had to take things very slowly.

One thing that frustrates me with some artists is when they post on several sites, but you’ll find some pieces on one site but not the other for no discernible reason.

*posts three drawings on BlueSky but not on FA*

*posts five more drawings on FA but not on Tumblr*

*posts one Tumblr exclusive*

Nah, both the Bourbons and the Orléanists had their chance to return in the 1870s and blew it. Too bad, y’all!

🐮🔥 COVER REVEAL TIME 💚🐺
Another amazing illustration by @caraid.bsky.social. Look at those colors! The buffalo's name is Lune, and you'll meet her VERY SOON, because Feral Flame will release NOVEMBER 11!
#NossSaga #BookSky 🌈📚

Cover for Feral Flame - Book Four of the Noss Saga, by Joaquín Baldwin. A one-horned buffalo holds her hands forward to control a green flame shaped like a running wolf. Her brown fur is draped with long white fabrics that flow in the wind and blend into the pink mist behind her. Her horn is decorated with golden caps and rings, her nose and ears pierced. Her green eyes stare directly at the viewer.

News are mostly chaotic, a lot has happened since that article. There’s nothing much going on in my neighborhood though, it’s mostly life as usual aside from that scare in the first days of the protests.

Vote results are in: 131 members present, 130 votes cast, the vote is 130 for impeachment and 0 against.

Now to wait and see which of the Assembly vote or the president’s dissolution decree will be declared valid by the High Constitutional Court, and if need be, which has priority.
