Truly well deserved! You should be very proud!

...I feel like Furaffinity is in desperate need of a tag blacklisting feature to protect minors, and everyone in general, and it astounds me that they've gone almost 20 years without one. However I also understand that this feature is not likely to arise soon in consequence of Dragoneer's passing.

Something that appeals to me about Tumblr is the filtering and tagging systems they have in place. It like to make cute stuff, but I also like to draw horror content, and such things. It's important to me that people who don't want to see these things, and minors, are not exposed to them...

I've been thinking about posting more on Tumblr as Furaffinity's (where I'm most active) future seems a little more uncertain at this time, and I sort of want to collate everything in one place - art that doesn't really belong elsewhere, WIPS, etc. But I will try to post here too!

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, my physical and mental health can make my life rather challenging at times. I can also be a bit shy about posting on social media, believe it or not. 👽 But it's lovely to see a few new faces following me. I'll try to post more as I feel able!

Has #Artfight been slow for anyone else this year? I've had plenty of people following me there, but nobody has attacked me yet 🥺 Usually attacks are kinda non-stop!

Attack for day 5 of #Artfight 2024 🕸️🐰🫖

Character (Bunzy) belongs to user R3DACT3D on Artfight.net

Adding #bodyhorror tag just in case, as character owner classifies their character this way but Bluesky has no adult content filter for sensitive/horror content.

Come one, come all - come along and follow me on #Artfight! I'll be participating this year at artfight.net/~Kitschykiss

Attacking foe, friend, and everything in-between with priority given to those who attack or follow me!

Likely to attack with #furry, #pixelart and #3Dart

My fursona/persona Venusian Verdigris, an alien with an equine-shaped head, bold eyes with black sclera and bright teal iris - a captivating stare indeed! They also have long black hair, long pointed ears lined with a leopard-like pattern, two small nub horns, and a broad pair of feathered bat-like wings. Here, Venus cocks their head toward the viewer with a pensive expression, against a backdrop of prismatic clouds.

A few 'pony' designs I finished recently - I'm so in love with them! #MLPFIM #MLP The child in me is still obsessed with colourful horses. 🌈🦄

They're also open to adoption offers Paypal/USD on my toyhou.se/Kitschykiss - check out their alt text to learn more ahout them!

An original alicorn character inspired by the character designs from the series My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. This pony is named Ambergris, they have a beautiful blonde mane and tail, broad blue-green wings and a light blue body. Their cutiemark features a heart-shaped perfume bottle, relating to their namesake, Ambergris, which is a coveted ingredient in perfume making. They surely have a talent for creating beautiful fragrances that help others to feel happy, calm and relaxed!

An original hybrid pony character inspired by the character designs from the series My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. This pony is named Carnivora, they have many awesome traits such as a long scaled dragon tail, broad clawed 'n pawed wings, bat ears, curling horns, cloven hooves and more! Their cutiemark features a bleeding heart with a grinning maw inside. Despite their tough exterior, Carnivora is a real 'bleeding-heart' and always steps in to protect and help fulfill the hopes, dreams and lives of others.

An original alicorn character inspired by the character designs from the series My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. This pony is named Northwind, and their brilliant mane and tail are inspired by the northen lights (aurora borealis). They have beautifully vibrant purple, green and white wings, and their feathers extend across their body to keep them warm in cold climates. Their cutiemark features a star-shape containing a heart, not dissimilar from the poles on a compass. They are adept at navigating the deepest night using the stars, and help those who are lost to find their way back home.

I took great pleasure in (playfully) tormenting my partner in crime with a lil' ducky I bought at #Confuzzled.

I also took it as an opportunity to practice some #digitalart aside from pixels for once. I think his hair looks even more quackin' with a duck added. 😂🦆

My dear partner's brown kitsune character, slouching in displeasure with an adorable ducky on his head.

My first convention experience flew by at #confuzzled. Hoping to return next year and participate more, perhaps with art show submission/s and/or a dealers den table. I want to develop my 'fursuit' more by then, too. 🛸💚 Excited for 2025's prospects!

I'm going to miss the Hilton's breakfast. 💔😭

Here's a better pic since the former one was so frickin blurry. Many thanks to Charapins on X/Twitter for helping my pin dreams be realized!

We'll continue to hide pins throughout the rest of the con, so keep your eyes peeled!

Venusian @venusverdis.bsky.social · May 25

My partner in crime and I have been leaving freebie pins around #confuzzled.

I love enamel pins, and I was so happy to get custom pins made of my (former) fursona a couple years back that I wanted to share the joy 🦊 I hope you love them as much as I do. Finders keepers!
