Misanthrope
My new fursona, Sola, a punk kitty inspired by 1970s punk culture! Carrying a deep-seated hatred for all authority, they show up wherever there is chaos, whether it be in the depths of a mosh pit or on a riot-ravaged city street. When they're not stirring up shit, however, Sola is very soft-spoken and gentle and always does the dishes for their roommates.

New year, new fursona design! Here's my redesign of my fursona Wei, who is a dragon of extraterrestrial origin.
Wei is among a small number of surviving members of the Nimarrans, an alien species which at one point in the distant past ruled the entire Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way galaxy. After his civilization was wiped out in a failed attempt to achieve collective godhood, he was left for dead in a cryo-stasis escape pod and drifted through space for countless millennia before being recovered and thawed by a group of human space explorers.
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.
Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art
It means “tail” in Chinese, which apparently is also pronounced “wei,” so I thought it’d be fitting
Thanks! He moved overseas after the dynasty got overthrown, and has played for a few underground punk bands and worked in several family-run ethnic restaurants. He also runs a blog that, like, maybe three people read. So basically he’s me but cooler haha
My sona, Wei
Draconids have long lifespans. Wei and his brethren once served the Heavenly Emperor's court, but those days of fine tea and polished jade now remain only in history textbooks. Since then, he has found no new master but himself...

Cat ears beanie I made a few weeks back to prepare for the infamously cold New England winter :3
It also flips inside out to become normal!
It’s actually just a regular full-length novel but with illustrations to supplement various scenes
The whole thing especially pisses me off because the original video was meant to criticize misogyny
I have some more illustrations and previews for my novel on my website, but otherwise I’m still in the writing stage and not sure where to publish. I did recently set up a Mastodon account on mastodon.art though (there’s a link to it in my profile), so any updates on my projects will probably go there
Alazir Station
An illustration for my work-in-progress novel Sailor for the Second Dusk.
Depicted is the interior of Alazir Station, a space habitat built into the tail of a comet in the Deltauri system, and the last free nation of the Hyades Cluster. Due to the overwhelming presence of water ice in the rock surrounding Alazir's primary centrifuge drum, excess moisture has seeped inside and given the station a distinctly rainy and miserable climate. Nonetheless, Alazir is a city famed for its lively streets steeped in bright neon, casting gaudy rays to mingle with the colourful fabrics of merchant tents, dappled and wavering in a wet and heavy mist which carries every manner of culinary scent high into the cold air.

YESSS THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
Absolutely splendid, this is going in my art reference folder
Proud owner of both an iPod classic and an iPod Shuffle! I use both on the daily in order to avoid being on my phone too much.

Ah, brings back memories of the Heaven’s Stairway incident back in May 2021. Fun times

This artwork is gorgeous! All the bright colours make me feel nice and fuzzy. Not sure if making an animated movie for C&H is the best move though, IIRC Bill Watterson didn’t want it adapted

hell yeah I love airships
Another page from my work-in-progress sci-fi webcomic, thoughts?
The webcomic is called Red Star Castaway. It takes place in a distant solar system home to a civilization of anthropomorphic humans, who are slowly spreading out from their lush homeworld of Kiratu and settling other planets. This new frontier has become something akin to the Wild West of Earth, full of criminals, rangers, and bounty hunters. The story revolves around humanity’s origins on Kiratu, the remains of an ancient alien civilization, and the misadventures of the crew of the spaceship Oracle.
vintage sci-fi vibes. nice shot!
Damn that’s very poetic, instead of bringing the rover home we eventually brought home to it
I’m an art school student who writes creative fiction and messes around with old electronics, so I wouldn’t really say I have a technical background. Work-wise I’ve mostly just done art/editing commissions or taught at studios. I’m just kind of tired of mainstream social media so I’m taking refuge in the Fediverse, and I’m liking it a lot so far
Everything else you said is on-point, but I will not let you badmouth airships. Those things are cool as fuck and a lot of their bad rep comes from long-standing misconceptions (especially surrounding the Hindenburg disaster).
Just take a look at this page. It has a ton of useful info that you’ll likely find interesting, especially if you enjoy going down TVTropes rabbit holes.
"Where Am I?" by Me
A painting of my 'sona, Wanderer, and a tribute to No Man's Sky. I tried using a much brighter and happier palette for the piece instead of my usual moody style, and I think it turned out super well. I'm pretty stoked about this painting. Definitely gonna be using it to show my online identity from now on.

Airship Dock
A standalone painting from my ideas backlog. On a distant planet, several airships approach a towering dock secluded within a remote valley.

Derelict Station
A painting of a scene from my work-in-progress novel Sailor for the Second Dusk. Three spacer pirates stop to scavenge supplies from what they think is an ancient derelict station, but soon find it was destroyed far more recently than they thought. Among these spacers is the main character, who is still getting used to his suit and manoeuvring pack.

My first attempt at an anthro character
I've been doing digital landscape and character paintings for a while, but I recently decided to try out furry art to challenge myself. This is my first complete piece. Thoughts?
Favourite gimmick loadouts?
What gimmick loadouts do you like to use? I personally really like trolldier for those satisfying shovel crits, but I also enjoy fat scout and combat medic.
