This vixen is a pearl fox, a diluted variety of silver fox, and her fur is grey and soft as fog. Se was born in a fur farm, in a cruel instance, but managed to flee. More:

A beautifully haunting painting, and a (short) blog post that's well worth reading about the longing for sacred places and alienation from natural places.

Woah! Beautiful work, and the post really struck a chord with me, the part about churches vs natural places and the perception of what is a holy place... that’s going to come up in my reflections for a long time. Thank you for always bringing up such thought-provoking topics.

That's odd, I would think there was a large and growing audience for it. I can't think of another regular pubblication of comparable quality for fantasy art.

A quote from my art book that seems kinda relevant given the persistent controversies around adult art. Who gets to set the rules of imagination? It's literally the question that spawned the furry fandom.

I'm not sure whether I could post the full version of this painting here, so I'd rather not risk. If you are curious it's not hard to figure out where to find it.

😢It is really sad to see adorable birds dying because of the reflection on windows, so I made this illustration for some bird protection organizations to propagandize this situation.

Spot on comment about the constant calls for art censorship. Complaining about fiction is easy and lazy. Working on real problems is hard, but that's what the actually good, moral people do. Censoring a few drawings isn't going to reduce anyone's suffering.

If you hate seeing dub/noncon in art and you want less of it in the world, build some third spaces. Help organize accountability in your faith communities. Build local harm reduction resources.

If you'd rather just complain, may life help you understand the genre eventually.

Experimental canopic jars I made for my QCCC crew over on Patreon ✨✨

These were some of the best cylinders I've ever thrown on the wheel, and I'm excited to apply what I've learned from making these towards future things.

#art #pottery

A group of 8 ceramic canopic jars that feature a variety of animal heads for the lid of the jar. There are a group of wolves, a bear, a dragon, and an own. They were all painted with black underglaze and feature a variety of sgraffito marks and details.

At this point it's safe to assume that any social network is/will be just a temporary encampment for us furry artists. Even the smartest, most well intentioned, perfectly decentralized project will always be a few fat checks away from corporate takeover (or, failing that, political crackdown).

"Do not share content depicting animal abuse, torture, fighting, staged rescues, or wildlife exploitation." But then "These rules do not prevent you from sharing content about hunting, fishing, and other legal wildlife activities." Really, bluesky? Isn't hunting and fishing an abuse?

It's a story about someone being "deformed" (literally in the quote) inside and out by violence, but it will become a fetish.

Banning any depictions of non-consent means banning "The Morning Visitor" by Dino Buzzati.

The phrase "le usó violenza" in the original Italian specifically refers to rape.

I have marked this post as graphic due to the visuals and subject matter.
