oh shit its #portfolioday !!!

i'm hails, a digital and traditional artist! i draw all sorts of things in my own unique toon-esque style! i draw human(oid)s, furries, animals, and critters of all sorts!

here's some semi-recent work of mine!! 💜

#art #artportfolio #digitalart #furry #pokemon

digital illustration of an anthro orange tabby cat dressed in doomguy's armor from doom: the dark ages and weilding the crucible from doom: eternal. he has his fist raised in a defiant stance and a scowl on his face. he stands on a pile of rocky rubble. the background is all shades of red and orange, flames covering the blood red sky. a cacodemon floats in the distance.

a digital illustration of a raccoon-cat hybrid anthro that's been kangaroo-ified! he stands on his tail with his feet kicked up in the air in an active pose. he smiles somewhat smugly and looks at the viewer. the background is a blurred illustration of shrubby red-sand desert.

digital illustration of a humanoid sitting on his bottom, one leg hiked up in a triangle shape. one hand rests on the floor while the other arm is braced against his knee. the humanoid is entirely sky-colored, with his feet and legs being light and cloudy, which transitions into a dark blue, starry sky at the crown of his head. a star glints where their right eye should be.

digital illustration of an espeon that's partly purple with shiny green blotches on its face, paws, back, and tail. it wears a soothe bell, a silver jingle bell secured on a red silk scarf.

at @ixarts.bsky.social Art Show next month!

In our night sky there is a dark band that runs through the Milky Way, known as the Great Rift. This darkness is where the stars of our galaxy are obscured by vast clouds of interstellar dust and geese … er, gas.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 17h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

drawing of a wolf and a blue tongued skink laying down together. the wolf looks really worried and the skink is very, very exhausted.

one of my favorite things is when music has just the right sound and rhythm so it sounds like an animal running. like i can perfectly picture and almost feel a horse galloping to this song. i do that a lot actually where i associate songs with animals depending on the mood

As I’m sure is obvious from today’s rambles, shit’s rough today after what happened to me a few days ago. Eating feels impossible, but I know I need to. If you’ve enjoyed my doodles, helping me eat something would be very appreciated today. No pressure as always though ❤️

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

i just realized i havent drawn my fursona in months... how can this be.... i have to draw my silly..........

hails 💜 @hailsiez.bsky.social · 17h

something i've noticed is that irl, i tend to dress and present more tomboyish, but in vr, i feel more comfortable presenting outwardly femme. maybe it's because i feel safer to do so in vr free from irl body standards and whatnot, or maybe there just aren't that many avatars that match my irl look

👩🏾 Black furry creatives? artists? musicians?
👨🏾‍🦱 Black furry writers, lyricists, poets?
🧕🏾 Black fursuit makers? craftmakers?
👵🏾 Black furries who wanna hype up other Black furries?

Let's make a thread of some Black work 👇🏾

(Non-Black furries: boost work you like, but enjoy our greatness in silence 🤫)

queer spaces are so overly racially biased it makes me upset every time.

the lack of boosting black positivity or just interacting with black art is upsetting. black art, people, and characters aren't viewed in the same desirability as white characters.

okay what the actual fuck that is so wild and creepy to say. are we in the twilight zone. in what world should anyone be grateful for being assaulted. anyone saying that should not be trusted

i am compressing anyone and everyone who is shitty to you. i am so sorry you have to deal with this on top of the initial experience. what happened to you WAS assault, and it SHOULD be taken seriously and you SHOULD be listened to.
