It's Furry Book Month and here's what this trash panda has to offer...pictured on the desk where they were all created! www.amazon.com/stores/Todd-... and (for ebooks only) also on Smashwords, B&N and Kobo. Artwork by @cooner.art apart from Christmas Reunion by @temiree.bsky.social. #furrybookmonth

additional: for the fans of the books, yes I DO want to draw a version of this with a proper background and where either Colton or Charlie persuades him to take those clothes OFF but that's for another night when I'm a better artist.

A clothed version! I took that pencil-coloured sketch I made of Todd, added my favourite red hoody (but skipped on putting the Superdry brand on it because it's a bitch to draw) and then went with airbrush colouring this time...quite pleased with the result, especially how I changed his 'mask'

...created, I think Alex's (snep, guitarist) was 'The Way It Has to Be' by Shawn Lane and Hunter's (ermine, drummer) was 'The Grudge' by Tool. (I was just listening to the latter and had a 'YES that's the one!' moment when I imagined him playing along with it

(1/2)I have a theory that everyone who plays an instrument has that one song that on first listen gave them their 'I wanna do THAT and one day I'm GONNA do that' moment, even if what they went on to do moved away from it. Mine was 'Lithium' by Nirvana. In terms of fictional characters I've...

‘House Viewing’ (1/2)

Felix: I’ve got a dog. There needs to be a flap in the back door for him, otherwise I can’t leave him in the house on his own because y’know, wet floors.

Kayden: I’ve got a raccoon. There needs to be room for an extra large dumpster out front. He also prefers to live in a…

Vermouth isn’t just vermouth? There are international variations? 🤯

Nah he’d go with Megan. She’d raise his social media profile.

It’s international raccoon appreciation day? Well why didn’t anybody say so. Hi!

Congrats! If I get passed the lottery for '26 I'll definitely have to bring a guitar for the jam now!

On another note, in the book he's an ex-soldier whose split-second decision NOT to kill someone changed his life completely. Guess he's a character for the times, because 'Why am I doing this?' is a question people in the USA in powerful institutions need to be asking a LOT right now

It's Friday Part 2 - have an 'artistic nude' of Hunter from Destroyer of the Road drawn by yours truly...without meaning to I think I made this look a bit like how @scapewolf.bsky.social draws...the eyes staring right at me weirded me out so I made him look sideways, I think that's what does it

Yeah I feel that, I'm a largely plant-based eater (although not vegan, because fuck not having cheese) and if my bathroom could speak it would probably cry 'PLEASE no more green veg and grains!' first.

Dare I ask it: what kind of horrendous combination of take-away junkfood and booze the night before did it take you to make that one happen? Credit to you for not hitting the can with it until you got to work!

Had one of those odd days where everything felt like it was going wrong and I couldn't handle a goddamn thing to by the end of the afternoon having an oddly clear perspective and better plan for how things could go. Such a complete switch in a short time seems rare even for an oddball like me

Make Sega Great Again...

SEGA @sega-west.bsky.social · 21d

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

Elmer season!

I like the new Liquid Glass thing.

I can't remember where it was (I think it might have been in Wales) but I once driving past a sign that said 'Cross Foxes -->' which I think was a cafe...nowadays I imagine two fox suiters in front of that having a stand-off

Thank God I saw this! Back in 23 the DD reg was different and I nearly forgot to do it at the same time as main reg this time around...just submitted it!

Just wait for the person who writes 'I did learn my lesson - next time I'm not voting at all' 🙄

Drew this pic of Todd a few weeks ago and finally thought I’d share it…considering I could never have done this a year ago I’m reasonably pleased with it (and if BlueSky’s content bots flag this as suggestive because he has his hands in his pockets I will LAUGH)

Honestly I’m starting to think I’d trust Dr Hannibal Lector more than RFK
