I have less than a year to save for my gender-affirming surgery! There's a few ways you can help:

- Donate to my GFM: www.gofundme.com/f/contribute...

- I do art commissions: www.furaffinity.net/view/62149452/

- Repost this post! 💛

Soren System Art @sorensystemart.bsky.social · 1h

Some pieces from a 30-day art challenge I'm doing over on Tumblr. Halfway there!

A pencil drawing of 9S from NieR:Automata. It's in landscape format, and he's sitting in the Flooded City, with his back to the viewer, looking out toward the sea.

A pencil drawing of Cantarella from Wuthering Waves.

A pencil drawing of Jakob from Fire Emblem Fates. He is looking over his shoulder and wielding a dagger.

A pencil drawing of Zani from Wuthering Waves. She is leaning against a column in Ragunna City, looking off to the side.

It’s called voice ACTING (aka, why the acting is more important than the voice.)

Some examples of how I do my visual development for fursuit commissions.
Yes, I've done that to all the suits I made. I draw a design sketch based on requirements and character design. After the client is happy with the result, I start doing customized 3D sculpting.

Y’all there’s SO MANY struggling artists right now. Please please help if you are in the position to do so. Do some early holiday shopping. Treat yourself to something special. Donate just to keep seeing people create. And don’t forget sharing always helps so much. We are just trying to survive.

Coyotes are gods free dogs @bigcoyoteenergy.bsky.social · 3d

I FINISHED a real media art? Sounds insane but I did! My fursona wearing what I wore to my last cigar social (this past weekend). I love being a gay little canid. Prismacolor markers on textured sketchbook paper.

A humanoid coyote sits relaxing with a cigar. They are wearing a crop top with a fox, a strappy pair of underwear and thigh high striped socks. They have purple and pink hair.

😛 Fun fact, Texicoco’s saliva is poisonous and corrosive! Her tongue is always hanging out, so be careful when you give her a hug!

Amayensis ✨ Commissions open @amayensis.bsky.social · 10h

Oh I recently noticed this page on @procreate.com that made me so, so happy. I've used Procreate for all my digital art for many years and seeing them showing such a strong position against gen A/I is such a breath of fresh air. Please keep it up ❤️

Screenshot from https://procreate.com/ai.
It reads:

AI is not our future

Where we stand
No generative AI
We deeply respect your hard-earned skills.

Your work belongs to you
We do not have access to your art, by design.

We take pride in privacy
Your activity is not tracked in our apps.

Second part of the screenshot that reads:
Creativity is made, not generated.
Generative AI is ripping the humanity out of things. Built on a foundation of theft, the technology is steering us toward a barren future. We think machine learning is a compelling technology with a lot of merit, but the path generative AI is on is wrong for us.

We're here for the humans. We're not chasing a technology that is a moral threat to our greatest jewel: human creativity. In this technological rush, this might make us an exception or seem at risk of being left behind. But we see this road less travelled as the more exciting and fruitful one for our community.

Don't any of you start yelling at the ANE social media account if you didn't get a room. Remember, there is another furry just like you on the other side of that bluesky account.

We stayed at the Element last year for ANE. Free breakfast, we were able to make our own food instead of eating out every single meal AND no line for elevators! Best decision ever.

This!

Also remember that cons are a 🌟luxury🌟 (for most!)

And and never overlook any overflow hotels! Some have extra perks you're not gonna get in the main, like free breakfast and No Elevator Con

My semi annual reminder that if you want a better chance at getting a hotel room at cons, you should try staffing for them 😇🪽✨💕
