I laughed at myself today, because despite not being a furry myself, I always had a hard time thinking what animal my fursona would be for some reason…
…only to realize that I’ve been absolutely OBSESSED with Raccoons since I was literally a kindergartener.
Why the hell would it be anything else?

For those wondering who the person in that last panel is, she dates back to 2002!

Then we meet her again in 2008, so it’s been 17 years since she’s made an appearance!

This is a self-care checkpoint.
Post your favorite selfie that makes you feel good about yourself.
I miss this dress so much. The zipper broke in spectacular fashion (it was garbage), but I saved the dress anyway in the hopes of maybe someday disassembling it and remaking it from scratch. :D

Hey Nerds! The lack of comic today wasn’t really planned, and since I have the current arc more or less scripted out to fall at certain times, that means you’ll get two comics for the price of one tomorrow! Aren’t you just the luckiest!

Before and after. (I forgot to add the Tram track originally - fixed that.)
This is less of a 1:1 attempt than most of my other backgrounds. This time around, I'm trying to go more for the feel of what I WANTED the original background to look like in my imagination.

Been having fun this morning replicating parts of the Lair in Blender, and this is probably one of the more intricate spaces I had to recreate.
I'm absolutely LOVING using Blender for the backgrounds lately. It's a bit more complex, but SO much more of the vibe I want to go for.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.
