On an unrelated note, I just finished the Dawntrail MSQ yesterday! I'm excited to see where the next patches lead for the next expansion!

Also, if you see Milovan Pantaleon running around Primal/Behemoth, feel free to say hi!

I've been doing some looking around for my suit in the future. Here's a few I've found!

Sadly a good chunk of them haven't opened comms in years, but it'll be good to keep an eye on them!

I've been slowly working on building a list of fursuit makers for my suit someday! It's taking some doing, but I've found some really, really cool makers!

Void Dreaming FVN @voiddreamingvn.bsky.social · Feb 7

It's time for more background art appreciation! Here we have some more of Void Dreaming's environments, as depicted by the fantastic @beanworks.bsky.social !

Don't worry; we're getting closer to when you can step aboard the Void Dreamer yourself!

#FVN #furryVN #furry #gamedev #VoidDreamingFVN

Another in-progress furry visual novel screenshot. This one depicts and describes the rec room of the Void Dreamer; the room is bathed in blue-purple light, and features a central pit within which is a curved purple couch. The couch encircles a holoprojector set in the middle of the pit, and cushions and a feline plush take up space on the couch surface. Neural interface chairs sit in the background, including one industrial model with far more upgrades than the others. Shelving and cupboards display boxes and books of various subjects and entertainments, surprisingly low-tech for such a high-tech room.

Another in-progress furry visual novel screenshot. This one depicts and describes the commissary of the Void Dreamer; warm lights shine on a green-coloured room. A microwave-like replicator device sits at the center of a large kitchen setup, over an enclosed cooker unit mounted beneath. Drawers and hatches contain various cutlery and plates, with a fridge unit storing pre-prepared chilled items. A couch lies mostly offscreen to the left by a secondary door out of the room, while the text box mostly conceals the metal dining table in the heart of the room. Leafy plants sprout from enclosures on either side of the cooker/replicator setup, and a glowing display panel in the upper centre provides options to hungry crew.

Another in-progress furry visual novel screenshot. This one depicts and describes the gym of the Void Dreamer; this yellow-coloured room features a large viewscreen that provides a simulated view of the space outside the Dreamer for crew making use of the treadmills that face it. A weight-lifting machine features to the left of the scene, with a water cooler stands ready to refresh exhausted exercisers. A large mirror stands ready to provide an ego boost (or wound) to any looking in its direction, while a sparring mat and an entirely unrelated access to the ship's infirmary remain out of sight.

Another in-progress furry visual novel screenshot. This one depicts and describes an engineering bay, bathed in deep red emergency lighting. A multitude of screens are throwing up extensive and numerous error and warning messages, while exposed cables spark and flash. The door to the room has been caved inward, as if by some blast or force, and smoke fills the air. This can't be the Void Dreamer's engineering bay... can it?

Hap birth! May it be a wonderful one :3

Chai! @chaisayshi.bsky.social · Jan 10

Thanks for the responses everyone! Still looking around, and I'm always happy to see everyone's style/art for now, and future comms too! Please feel free to share your stuff, or others' if you think they'd be a good fit ^^

Chai! @chaisayshi.bsky.social · Jan 10

Does anyone know any furry artists who do Dakimakuras/Body Pillows with commissions open, or will open in the next month or two? Bonus points if they've done tigers, or other big cats previously!

I always forget how dang good Curicó by Kiltro is until it surfaces from the depths of my library, and then I binge it for like a week straight. Highly recommend giving it a listen~

This.

We are artists.

We are creative.

Content is a soulless word the industry uses to devalue your work.

It's art.

It's all art.

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator"

You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor...

You are not a faceless "content" machine.

I'm at #AnthroNorthwest this weekend! Looking forward to meeting some lovely people here! 💙

No suit to look out for, but feel free to poke here if you want to say hi!

Very cool article! Though unfortunately your site's contrast is very low with dark mode enabled.
