A digital illustration of a personal OC furry character named Celeste Teal-Starr. This non-binary character uses she/they pronouns. A serene illustration of a kitsune/fennec fox character sitting at an outdoor café table. The character has large, expressive ears and long, wavy, golden-blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. She is wearing a flowing purple dress with lace detailing on the ends of the sleeves. The kitsune character smiles softly, resting her hands under her chin, as if savoring the peaceful moment. On the table in front of her is an open notebook, a pen, a steaming Mocha latte in a cup and saucer, and a slice of strawberry shortcake. Surrounding her are lush green plants, a wrought iron fence, and a brick wall covered with blooming white flowers and ivy. In the distance, soft pastel hues of hydrangeas and a cloudy blue sky add depth and tranquility. The warm, soft lighting highlights the character's peaceful demeanor and the cozy café atmosphere. Artwork by Celeste Teal-Starr, January 12th 2025 #Furry #furryart A stylized digital illustration of a mystical kitsune character, a fox spirit with feminine features, dressed in an ornate, flowing kimono. The kimono is adorned with intricate patterns and vivid colors, emphasizing traditional Japanese design. The kitsune has multiple tails fanned out behind her. She delicately holds an elegant smoking pipe in one hand, adding a sense of calm mystery. Her expression is serene and knowing, with a subtle smile. The background is softly blurred to focus attention on the character, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. Artwork by Celeste Teal-Starr, 2023. The character is owned by Alexis Luna / Kai-Rynn on FA. #Furry #Furryart A hand-drawn traditional furry badge featuring a blue dragon character with turquoise accents, soft fur, and feathery wings. The dragon is depicted smiling warmly and forming a heart shape with their hands. Below the character is a gold banner with the name 'Nim' in bold lettering, flanked by a nonbinary pride heart on the left and a pansexual pride heart on the right. The background is cut out around the character, set against decorative maroon and white wallpaper. The badge is outlined and laminated for a polished finish. Artwork by Celeste Teal-Starr, 2023. #Furry #Furryart #Pride #LGBTQ A hand-drawn and colored deluxe traditional badge featuring the character Auri Gryphon. The artwork showcases a headshot of a gryphon with soft, detailed shading. Auri has pale lavender-white hair, blue eyes, and a white feathered face with fur and an orange beak. Her ears are adorned with jewelry, including a teal gemstone. Below her face is a banner reading 'Auri' in bold teal letters with an orange scroll-like design. The piece emphasizes vibrant colors and smooth gradients. Artwork by Celeste Teal-Starr. Date Completed: December 8, 2018 #Furry #Furryart

Please understand that all your favorite million-dollar IPs were created by artists that get nothing more than a typical company paycheck. They don’t get royalties on the sales and oft aren’t even rewarded with bonuses or anything for creating such a valuable brand.

I never really understood the complaints about MFF during Finals week until I found myself in the midst of a 15-week-long group project. Feeling nostalgia for con experiences from over 10 years ago, but recognizing I haven't been able to really attend cons since 2019.

"I want to help you kill your Sue." is probably the most romantic thing my boyfriend could say to me after watching The Substance together.

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying.

The turkeys are about halfway done, and the mashed potatoes are ready. Mac and cheese is next up for the oven, then the scalloped potatoes and rolls. Got a few more sides to prep on the stove, and I'm sure I'll fit a vegetable in there somewhere.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

...bc yeah, THIS.
Tumblr post by user kalira , dated Oct 20, 2024: I say this very gently and with much love, and I say it not only as a writer myself but as someone who has been privy to many 'but how can they not know that work is amazing! 1 love it! I gushed about it to every friend I have and recced in x, y, z servers and [...]' The writer or artist doesn't know this. They have no way of knowing that you found their work beautiful and lifechanging or even just a bright spot on a bad day or that you think about it every day or that you told all your friends about it, and those things are great but we have no way of knowing them! You may not be doing it intentionally, but you're excluding the writer or artist from the community feeling of fandom that you are carrying on (that is so great! fandom is a community! continue to talk and play!) even with their work. Please, please just drop a line even that is "oh gosh I absolutely love this work, I screamed to every one of my friends about it when I first read/saw it!" even if you don't have the spoons to share more of the specifics that made you flail at your friends or what you said in private. (Though if you do, we will love you forever for it.)

I dreamt briefly of #Hathor last night. She was the Egyptian goddess of love, joy, music, and motherhood. She was also a protector of the dead, guiding them safely into the afterlife. This is one of my all time favorite and best pieces IMHO, and very appropriate to my life personally right now. ♥️

A graphite pin-up commission I completed back in 2021. Still one of my most detailed pieces to date. This took about 40 hours, all together.

After 4 years, I think I'm going to call this finished. I started this in August 2021, when I started on my degree. I worked on this between semesters. Really happy with how it turned out. It's very close to what I envisioned.

A traditional illustration of a personal furry OC character, completed in October 2008. Completed with Prismacolor colored pencils and markers. This Halloween-themed piece was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas. My character, who used to share my name until I gave her one of her own, is dressed as Shock, one of the three mischief makers who work for Oogie-Boogie. The long single kitsune tail is styled to look like a surprised ghost on the left. On the right, a little ghost hovers over a jack-o-lantern with the name Jess on it. A digital illustration of a personal OC furry character named Celeste Teal-Starr. This non-binary character uses she/they pronouns.

Not me crying over how tiny and special Walter was as a #kitten! He grew so fast. These were all taken while he was still 12-16 weeks old in November 2023. #Cats
Walter shows off his adorable 12-week-old kitten Boba Belly spots. A tiny brown tabby lays on his back, exposing his soft, round belly, while laying on a soft, round bed. Tiny Kitten Walter eats his wet food from a dish almost as big as he is. Tiny Kitten Walter fit inside a magazine holder! Tiny Kitten Walter is warm and cozy inside his pouch pocket. I got a hoodie with a pouch pocket just to hold my tiny kitten in. Sadly, it didn't get much use this winter because my boys are just too big for it now!

Decided to draw this today to plan a watercolor painting for my partner's parents. This is just one half of the painting. There will be another mini-painting, approximately 4.5 inches x 6.5 inches, featuring fireflies on the other half of the paper. I don't often draw or paint flowers or bugs.
A digital sketch of 5 monarch butterflies, over a dahlia flower, with a length of Lady Orchids curved at each side of the image. Inspired by the region of Michoacán, Mexico. The image is mostly symmetrical. This is a work in progress for my partner's family.
