Welcome to my page! I'll sometimes post about fun things I do, post some fursuit pics and more commonly art I commission. I'll do my best to try to do Fursuit Friday, but they're spotty! I post ramblings too!

A deer dragon hybrid fursuiter in light shade on the terrace of the David L. Lawrence convention center, smiling! Lower right portion contains a watermark of the photographer (They're awesome! Check them out!)

BF6 has been fun! @cryptidkion.bsky.social caught this really wicked shot of me landing an RPG on an attack chopper. Good to have a Battlefield game to sink my teeth into again!

Right on time for the sunset!

Just a little bit fruity!

... okay maybe a LOT a bit fruity cx

The difference if you ask me is pretty night and day, the back of the original hair if you ask me is kind of atrocious, I HATED seeing the back of it lmao

New poly count is maybe about 1~2k more despite having notably far more detail is because this time I was smart enough to bake normal maps!

Pictures are always important for a new haircut c:

Finally revisited and remade my first project I ever did where I created something new for my avi in Blender, which was the hair! Love how it came out, it felt great to see how much I improved on my previous work.

A deer dragon hybrid wearing pants, a crop top, harness, arm warmers, collar, and glasses. They are posing for the camera, one arm across their chest while the other hand is held up in a peace sign. They are smiling, there are bright fuchsia tones in the photo.

Same subject at an angle, back towards a wall. The camera is at a slight angle, while the subject's head is tilted one way but looking directly at the viewer. Their arms are behind their head to rest it, they make a light smile.

Same subject, angle, and expression as previous, but one hand rests on their side while their hand is set to support their head from the side in a cute pose.

I've seen plenty of other instances of mods/admins either taking no course of action or entirely improper course of action in other cases. I can provide examples if asked.

As cool of a concept this site is, poor implementation and lack of proper moderation makes this site unusable legitimately.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Reports of player behavior can only be reported on their subreddit under a post for reporting players. You read that right: to report a player, you have to publicly post it. I shouldn't have to explain why that is an awful system.

The log is entirely backed up with numerous reports by the minute.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

As of right now I have to get friends to help me remove my piece which has been griefed to actively misgender and display both explicit and self harm imagery. Content warning for picture below as an example.

These griefers are actively rebuilding too as I write. They know no one is stopping them.

A griefed pixel drawing of a character, there are self harm scars on the wrists and thighs, a set of pronouns are overwritten to misgender the creator.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Making a write up at this point, don't know what spheres this will reach if any but at this point I have to say I cannot in good faith recommend wplace.

With mods either swamped with other issues or indifferent to some, making anything on the site opens you up to harassment with no way to curb it.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

If you do have the charges to spare, assisting in removal would be appreciated! No pressure, I'll eventually get it done myself, but realistically the piece just needs to be removed from it's place.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

As much as I would love to dedicate as much time to upkeep my little guy as this guy can, the sad truth is I have a life, a job and far better things to do: something this rando full of vitriol likely can't relate to. Might put my guy somewhere else later, but I'm not leaving self harm imagery up.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Well, with the introduction of this person adding self harm scars and their insistence on continuing to use my character as a medium to create hate, I'm unfortunately probably gonna have to remove it. Mods aren't acting (probably swamped), and leaving it up is a disservice.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

I appreciate it!
I wonder at this point they've caught on that I've been getting a bit of help here and there from people, so they're just moving to destroy it at this point. Doesn't matter much, I've got screenshots of everything so I can just put it elsewhere c:

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Yeah that's fair, this person is seemingly spending inordinate amounts of time working on this which is honestly kinda sad: I kinda imagine they've got nothing better to do in their lives than be spiteful towards people they make no effort to understand

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Whoever is doing it honestly seems pretty obsessed in a particularly creepy way with being transphobic about it, seems to be one person with 3 accounts. It's pretty disgusting tbh

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Thank you Leo c:
Got it patched up, no telling if it's gonna stay that way but I can hope ^^

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Gonna try to set this back right: already removed some of the worst of it, but if anyone does want to assist, it's absoluteltly zero pressure but would be well appreciated! Reference image included here

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Definitely a bit disheartening. Not much I can do about it though, honestly I think it might have just been one singular person with 3 alt accounts, one fresh made after I initially tried to undo their work. Considering the mods are probably swamped, probably not worth trying to fix it lol

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 15

Welp that was insanely short lived, local phobes found and defaced it lol

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 13

I don't really make pixel art at all, so I'm really happy with how well this came out!

Pixel art of a deer dragon hybrid wearing a crop top, pants, boots, harness, arm warmers, and a collar. They have their hands slightly crossing, and they are smiling. There is a mixture of the Bixesual and Non-Binary pride flag next to them.

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 14

Funny coincidence! :P
This was super fun to put together though, thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment c:

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 14

I have words for the one who did this

Pixel art of a deer dragon hybrid in front of a world map on wplace. The poster's username "Edwin Ashdeer" is on the map. In the lower left corner near the art, is text from another user with the text "... it was difficult".

Edwin! @edwinashdeer.bsky.social · Aug 13

For anyone curious, I quickly put together a render and overlayed it on my browser at home last night to get the general outline made, and then made a few creative liberties from there: especially with the head shape and the expression to make it align more with my characrer reference!

A 3d flat color render of a deer dragon hybrid, in the same pose as the post this is in reply to. One eye is winking while the other remains open.
