My cat is surprisingly very photogenic 👀
A shot of my tabby cat Nibbles, who is sitting neatly on the banister while looking at the camera with a somewhat surprised face.

(CW: Vent dump)

I’ve lost so many more friends than I’ve gained, I’m celebrating the holidays single, I’ve watched those I know move ahead while I’m stuck in life, and I just can’t get the motivation to do art anymore.

A gut feeling is telling me that 2024 was overall a better year than 2025.

Flashback to that one time they brought an actual LIVE WOLF to campus 👀
A dark-colored male British Columbian Gray Wolf named Ozzy, who is laying down. A presenter is resting her hand on top of his head. Ditto as the previous picture, but Ozzy is sitting upright with a slight pant. A different angle, which shows the wolf laying down from a profile view.

I look so dashing in this artstyle. Just look at him aaaaa 🥺

A close buddy made this for me a couple years ago. I still love it so much, it captures the silly chaos vibes my fursona gives off 👀🥰

Foxxo to the Rescue!
Something I made for a close friend a while ago 👀
A black fox with lemon yellow markings, who is wearing a matching coat and long pants with a black undershirt, is running towards the camera with a determined expression and his left arm flared out behind. He is hurling three yellow shuriken-like projectiles, patterned like Yin-Yangs, while running at the viewer. Translucent speed lines are visible around the perimeter of the art.

Brrr… it’s been suuuuper chilly outside lately. I could use a warm scarf and a cup of cocoa. 🥶

Would you… enjoy it by the fireplace with me? 👉👈
Fireball in his older 2023 design (note the red paws denoting this). He is holding and sipping a cup of hot chocolate with his tongue sticking out slightly and some chocolate on his upper lip. He is standing outside on a snow night with a full moon and snowflakes in the background. He is also wearing a scarf that is patterned like a bi flag and looking at the viewer with a slight smile.

Did you know my fursona got his powers with some unstable magic and a bit of luck?

This was him pre-fire. Just a typical golden before he became extraordinary 👀✨
A cut-off headshot of Fire before he gained the ability to handle fire. He has longer hair and a cream-colored coat. He is seen here looking off to the side and smiling at the viewer. A forward-facing headshot of the same character, who is grinning. Note the wounds on his left ear and brown pupils as opposed to red post-magic. Ditto, but this time, it is a fullbody portrait. He was entirely cream save for black claws/nose and some spots of darker yellow and gold on his abdomen.

Whoever said fire dogs can’t enjoy a good snow needs to think again - even protectors of flame need a change of temperature sometimes! 👀🥶
An IRL photo of me in a black North Face parka, taking a selfie with a red sled in hand. Fireball’s face is photoshopped over mine with his ears poking out of the parka’s hood.

Never too old to dress up for Halloween! 🐶 🧙
An IRL photo of me, with Fireless Fireball’s head and tail photoshopped in, turning my back to the camera and crossing my arms with a passive smile on my face. An IRL photo of modern Fireball, who is facing toward the camera this time. He is wielding a strange orb of energy in his left hand and a string of arcane magic in his right. He is looking at the camera and giving a devious grin.

This Arcan is dripped! He loves Pac-Man 👀😉

I was wearing this in town and kept getting compliments on it, and it’s like, super damn comfy 😳
An IRL mirror selfie of me with Arcanine Fireball’s head plastered over my own. He is grinning and looking at the camera. I am posing neutrally and taking a photo with my phone in my right hand. A mirror selfie of IRL me, partially face revealing with a bandana covering my lower face, who is looking downward with a slightly “resting angry” expression. I have my hand on my hip and attempt to make a sassy pose with my phone in my left hand taking the shot and a hip thrusted out.

Lion in the Jungle!
A photoshopped photograph of Lion Fireball, who is posing for a selfie. He is looking back at the camera and extending his arm and hand opposite of the camera out into the foreground, gesturing towards the forest and concrete walkway behind him.

Bro is PISSED 👀🤬🔥
What the hell have you done to make him like this!?
If he ever gives you this look, you need to RUN.
A headshot cutaway of Fire, who is against a brightly colored, fiery backdrop. He is clearly very angry. His veins are cross-popping, his snout is bunched up in a snarl, a shadow is cast over his face, and his eyes faintly reflect the fire in the background. Additionally, smoke is being exhaled from his nostrils, which are flared open. Same as left photo, but the backdrop is black and Fireball is now a red outline. A “BPM” cardio pattern is in the background to indicate that he has snapped.

Update: I’m still alive!
Apologies for the inactivity here. It’s been a long stretch of weeks with uni, work and more. I’ve been out of things with artblock and being constantly tired but will hopefully resume content creation soon enough. I never forgot about Bsky!
A chest-up sticker of Fire, who is lying belly-down on a “ground” and looking very exhausted. He is blowing bubbles from his nose for a comedic effect.

Long before Fireball, I had a younger wolf fursona. This is him, from Dec. 2022. I should redesign him 🤔

Cubby walked so Fireball could run!
A portrait of a juvenile anthropomorphic gray wolf character. He is swinging forward on a rope and looking down with a serious expression. He appears to be preparing to land on his feet below.

Introducing the fieriest kitsune on this side of the Atlantic, the appropriately named Phoenix!

🦊: A friend
A portrait of Phoenix against a green-blue gradient background. He is standing and unleashing nine fire-like “souls” from the palm of his right paw. He is smiling at the spectacle and waving his tails about. His name is displayed in scratched white handwriting to the right of his head. An ALT of the other image (see left photo), but the gradient background is now a simple white backdrop, and the letters are gone.

An old art/vent piece I made back in 2023 when I was sad
A headshot of Fire, looking sadly at the ground with his head in his hand and tears streaming down his face.

Hell yeah, I’m bi.
You got a problem with that, big man?
A drawing of Fire against a rainbow/pride background. He is clasping a miniature bi flag in his mouth and looking smugly at the viewer while smiling.

I heard it was gay month!

IRL Fire wearing black clothes while extending his arms out, waving the bi flag behind him proudly and grinning. IRL Fire, draping a bi flag around his shoulders like a cape while giving a side profile and smug expression to the viewer.

Explain your username:

“scarpaw” - One of Fireball’s alternate nicknames, he is named so for a very large scar (from a saw incident) that dominates his right paw pad
“mutt” - He is a dog, but is sometimes mistaken for a dog/dragon hybrid, so this was appropriate
A sticker of Fire’s foot paw (old design). The scar is clearly visible.

He misses his friends and loved ones 🥺
A picture of Fire, still in pajamas, as he gets out of bed with a heartbroken expression. He is looking down at his phone, and an image of a broken yellow heart is to the left. A shadow is covering his eyes.

Aaaaand here are the colored versions! ^^
A simple depiction of Fire sleeping against a featureless, white background. He is drooling, a bubble is being blown from his nose, and “Z” characters are present to show he is snoring. He is not wearing any attire. A more detailed image of Fire sleeping in a room with a dark carpet and white plastic table. He is wearing his college attire.

Aww! He’s so sleepy! 🥺

(Dreaming about getting his belly rubbed and eating a ton of cheddar cheese)
A bird’s-eye sketch of Fire, who is laying down and sleeping. Several “Z” letters to his right eye indicate snoring. His ears have flopped open, and his dreads reveal a fluffy “beard” on his face behind them.

Hmmm… drip or no drip? 🤔

Whoa! Balloons! 🎈🥳🎂

This big catto is now 21! #furryart
An ALT of the previous photo, with Lion Fireball standing and smiling at the viewer. He is now wearing a birthday hat and blowing a birthday blower. The white and comical number “21” is aft of him.

He’s a 10, but…

He doesn’t realize it yet. He still has yet to get used to having a mane and how it often blocks the view of his body when looking down.
