is this how that truesona thing works #fursona #truesona

A grey-brown tabby cat with a long, brown sidecut, a purple jacket that honestly was supposed to be a dark navy blue but the artist messed that up, a dusty pink shirt, and a nonbinary pin. They have glasses, a pierced eyebrow and a nose piercing. There is a doodle of a blue orca keychain in the corner. There is text to the left of the image that reads 'Needs a haircut and $500', followed by an arrow pointed at the cat. The cat's names are Jessica and/or Jesse.

"Older than I've ever been, younger than I'll ever be again." Old art.

Grey tabby cat with glasses in a maroon hoodie looking over their shoulder. They look tired.

Old art but I think I need to post this just so my stance on ζ/zoo/etc is known. (Note: Not about drawings or 4-legged fursonas, and I think trying to obfuscate the issue of real life abuse with fictional characters/drawings is fucking vile.) Labelled for blood idk.

Grey tabby cat with pink bangs splattered in blood with a metal bat slung over their shoulder. Dialogue reads 'Fuckin' dogfuckers'.

Also an edit of a picture I found on pinterest. If you know the op, please tell me because pinterest is BAD at telling me that. #goodbyevolcanohigh

Scanned in a picture I'd already submitted and scanned in another picture that I wasn't happy with the photo of. Dinosaurs! #goodbyevolcanohigh #gvh

Fang from Goodbye Volcano High, a grey, feathered pterosaur, sitting on a ledge or perhaps a roof, waving their wing in greeting with a smile on their face while the sky behind them is lit up in shades of orange as the sun sets.

Trish from Goodbye Volcano High, a purple triceratops, wearing her prom dress. It's black with blue stripes, with an indigo skirt and a matching blue bee corsage on her wrist.

Also bullet journal pages for June! #bujo #queer #furry

'HAPPY PRIDE MONTH' is written in multicoloured, blocky letters. A rainbow with the colours red through to purple is drawn at the bottom of the page, with a puffy cloud on either side of it. The background is a series of many, many dots, also rainbow coloured. A number of stickers have been added to the page, featuring the word 'love', hearts, and rainbows.

A bunch of queer animals. From left to right, there is: A nonbinary giraffe, a bisexual female cat (tomcat), a bear wearing the bear pride flag (a literal bear), a wolf wearing the ocean mlm flag (holding the bear's hand), a peacock drag queen in a bright red dress holding a sensu style folding fan made of peacock feathers (it matches her tail), an excited golden retriever wearing the trans pride flag, and a doe with rainbow tights, a skirt in the lesbian flag colours, and a pink shirt with a heart on it (She's a bambi lesbian!)

Got the scanner working! Have some queer mobians for pride month. Shadow was drawn a while ago, Sally was drawn out of spite. 🩷

Shadow the Hedgehog glaring defiantly, holding the nonbinary flag. The background is in shades of the trans flag. 'I don't owe you an explanation' is written on the top of the page, followed by 'I don't need to justify who I am' on the bottom. Drawn on paper, coloured with pencils.

Sally Acorn is posing with the bisexual flag, winking and throwing a peace sign. 'If this makes you mad, get hemorrhoids. [heart]' is written under the flag. Drawn on paper, coloured with pencils.

Fangs. I got their eye makeup colours the wrong way around on two of them and I don't know how to colour the sky at golden hour lol #goodbyevolcanohigh #gvh

Traditional art, Fang from Goodbye Volcano High sitting on a ledge and waving with their wing while the sky is yellow behind them. It was supposed to be a sunset but the artist messed it up.

A younger Fang, when their hair was red and had the raccoonstripe pattern. They're wearing the GIR hoodie (a reference to both the music video for Antonymph by Vylet Pony and scene culture in general), making an 'XD' face and saying 'RAWR'.

One more. Hand hurts. #mlp

Starhopper again, gazing upwards towards space with joy in her eyes. To the right is a bunch of musings about her as a character - “Starhopper
Ponynormal investigator?
Personality is just ‘Cheer up’ by ‘A great big world’
Space cadet, surprisingly smart’

Actually studied some Faust sketches and tried Starhopper again. Look at that improvement! #mlp

Last pony for a while, maybe. My hand hurts.
Starhopper! A dream pony of mine. The truth is out there!

Traditional piece of the pony “Starhopper” in a g4 style. She’s a green glittery unicorn, with a blonde mane and tail with silver highlights. Her cutie mark is a purple UFO and she’s wearing a green alien bopper headband.

After some style studies I decided to try my g1 to g4 Night Glider again. With a new name maybe, because I /do/ like g4 Night Glider too. Stargazer is apparently a placeholder name for another pony but pfffft whatever. #mlp

Traditional piece of a Pegasus pony with the design of g1 Night Glider.

Found this poem www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43825/... and thought of a pre nmm Luna grappling with her slowly darkening thoughts and urges (s1 design bc I like it better!) #mlp

Black background, sketch with white scratchy lines. Neck-up shot of Princess Luna, looking troubled, with the following quote from 'Darkness' by Lord Byron written in the background: "I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless"

Started as "Let's redesign a pony!" and turned into me having multiple violent disagreements with a paint pen. #mlp
I've always really liked g1 Night Glider. Kept the wings, because, Glider.

A traditional piece depicting the pony Night Glider in a g4 style, but with her g1 design (aside from being a pegasus). She's coloured in shades of blue with a space-themed cutiemark and a yellow bow on her tail. Along the edges of the paper are multiple paint spots where the blue paint pen got clogged and the artist had to tap furiously on the paper to get it to work again.

Two anthro felines stand in mirrored poses. On the left is a long-haired grey and white tabby, and on the right is an orca/cat hybrid. They're both alt designs of the same fursona, belonging to Nixe. The background is a pale pink with a blue blooming... Thingy, with yellow geometric lines and alternating words 'chirp' and 'meow'.

I can't believe I haven't uploaded my sona ref to bsky yet. Well here they are :v

A reference sheet of Nixe, a cat/orca hybrid. Most of their features are feline, aside from their fluked whale tail and dorsal fin, as well as typical black and white orca markings.

"The hole in my head is a conversation starter", a piece from 2021 exploring the relationship between my mental illness and my personality. Ew old art ewwww.

An anthro cat coloured in pastel(?) shades holds up a double peace sign. The right side of their face shows a relaxed, blissful expression, while the left has been opened up to show the rings and core of a broken jawbreaker. Smoke pours out of the hole, and multiple snippets of text about the relationship between mental illness, charisma and creativity are layered over the smoke.
"The early-warning signs of bipolar disorder can often be overlooked as the traits of an ambitious or charismatic high flyer." "... feel invincible; you are the cleverest, most charismatic person..." "... Had extraordinary drive and charisma... suffered from a mood disorder..." "Some of the things that go into bipolar disorder on the manic side, some of the traits -- thinking fast, creativity, charisma, charm -- can be very..." "Research on other creative people has shown that there is a connection between creativity and psychotic traits related to schizophrenia and..."

Got a new laptop, practising drawing on a touch screen with a pen. Have a... Bug thingie.

Digital sketch of an anthropomorphic ladybug girl. She wears a grey dress and her wings are stylized almost like a cape behind her back. Being an insect, she has two sets of arms; one has its hands clasped in front of her and the others are swayed to the sides.
