some random pieces I still like

black and white lineart drawing, a young woman with broken glasses, wearing a crop sweatshirt, lifting her arms
where her hands meet, there's a weird flower with an eye at it's center

Bubblegum & Marceline from Adventure Time, in my style, wearing modern clothes, on top of each other on a bed, teasing/playing in a loving way

fanart of Furiosa from Fury Road, next to her war rig big truck thing

ink drawings on a sketchbook page, showing three drawings of women surrounded by fishes, a jellyfish, deep sea corals & algae

A digital icon illustration of an anthro opossum named Sock. Sock is facing left and looking at the viewer with a crazed expression, their teeth are bared and their alien-like green tongue is hanging out of their mouth. They have an eye patch on their left eye that has the biohazard symbol on it and snake bite lip piercings. They are wearing a spiked collar with a tag that has the number 17 on it as well as a tag in their ear with the number 17 on it. In the background is a green and purple grunge texture with pink blood splatters on it.

a digital icon illustration of an anthro rabbit named Rads with a long hot pink death hawk tugging on their collar flirtatiously as they lick their lips. Rads has a neon green tongue and sharp pointy yellow teeth. They are wearing a spiked collar and a latex crop top. There are neon green blood splatters in the corners and a grungey texture background.

A digital icon illustration of a black and white anthro coyote, named Mutt, holding up a meat cleaver with a wild expression. Mutt has red eyes and black messy hair that parts in the middle and is wearing a collar with a lock on it. There are red blood splatters framing the illustration and a black and white grunge texture in the background.

A digital icon illustration of a green anthro panda looking to the side with her paw up somewhat waving at the viewer. Behind her are big leaves with holes in them.

「 FOUND FAMILY 」 🌠🌈

image is a digital illustration of a pack of lean canine silhouettes racing across a watery reflective surface. the sun radiates behind them, low on the prismatic horizon. warm clouds halo the starry sky. the canine in the center of the canvas looks hopefully upward to a shooting star as a broken chain trails off its throat. #furry #furryart

It bubbles up, burning my throat.
I hear it crackling in my sinuses,
a warning for the coming purge of all anxiety from my stomach.
But I prefer not to puke where I sleep.
To keep the mess on the inside.
So I sit awake, waiting in the dark, for sleep or sick.
If it means rest, I don't care which.
