⭐Art Vs. Artist 2024⭐

I was absolutely procrastinating doing this this year. My ability to make art fell off a cliff in August and I've been self-conscious as hell ever since.

Still, this was encouraging. I can say that what I did make, I really, ~really~ liked.

#artvsartist #art #furry #oc

Art vs Artist - Eight works from this year, ranging from Alpha Base, to Prophecy of the Circle, to Pokemon, to miscellaneous furry art, and a snapshot of the artist in the middle.

After six hours on a little bus winding through narrow mountain roads, we’re in Tofino!

Now we begin Operation: chill for a week

A photo of the view from the window of the Shelter restaurant in Tofino, looking out at the water and the marina filled with boats. In the distance, forested islands rise steeply into the blue sky.

A photo of a view of the sunset in Tofino. There’s a Tofino Air seaplane parked in the foreground, and in the middle distance are docks, buildings, and a few boats. Misty, forested slopes make up the background against a pale orange sky.

A photo of the ocean at sunset, with islands along the horizon and a pale gold and fading blue sky. There’s a trail of clouds across the sky.

Sunset by the docks in Tofino. There’s a docks, buildings, and trees are silhouettes against a sky that’s turning gold. The tide is low at the beach.

It was a lot more affordable than a new pair of boots, too, so.

I dunno. I guess what I'm saying is patronize your local artisans where you can. They do cool stuff.

Meghan Taylor @talonserena.bsky.social · 4d

New experience unlocked: in this year 2025, I have utilized the services of a cobbler. My Doc Martens are a little over a year old but I am not kind to boots. So they suffered.

Imagine my delight when I get them back and they have HEART PATCHES over the holes. 💙

A black pair of Dr Marten's Jadon platform boots perched on the brown kitchen counter. They have heart patches on the toes. In the background there is a coffee maker, a bread maker, and a mug.

Apologies for this post, but I've more or less hit rock bottom. I am emotionally exhausted and burnt out. I've not drawn for weeks and by now it does not feel like an easy fix. If you have any desire to support me, it'd mean more than ever as I physically can't work atm.

I completed all that I physically could. I left detailed notes for my coworkers on what couldn’t be completed. I escalated what needed escalating, labelled anything that might need review, I watered my plants throughly, filled out my time sheet, set my out of office…

I’m good, right? I did good? 😭

Had to fight tooth and nail to get there, nearly drowned in emails a dozen times today, but I made it to my weekend.

Someone tell me to please just forget about work. I’m supposed to go on my honeymoon starting on Sunday and part of me is trying to drag my job with me. 🥲

I fell absolutely in love with your work last year and I’ve always been delighted to see your posts cross my dash. I don’t know why I hadn’t before, but I’m subscribed to your Patreon as of now. 💙

Sincerely wishing you better days ahead!

~WEIRD AUTUMN~

Night in the Woods is a special game for me, and since it's the right season I thought I'd finally build the shirt I've been planning for over a year, haha. I was inspired by the OST album covers.

Thaaaaaank yooooouuu. X3 I loved your prompt list! I’m not sure how far I’ll get this year, but I’ll probably be leaning on it a bunch for October. 💙

Meghan Taylor @talonserena.bsky.social · 6d

The wheel is already doing good work - I almost never drawn Laura.

She’s a character who’s largely still cooking. I know her in vibes and little pieces of plot, but the details are still coming to the surface.

God does sleep suit her, though. She’s been through so much. Let. Her. Rest.

A sepia-toned sketch of a blonde-haired white woman, tired and asleep leaning on her forearms on a table. She looks utterly worn out. Behind her, a shadowy figure is reaching out to gently touch her hair. There’s a tiny speech bubble with a question mark in it and another with a little heart coming from the standing figure.

The stress of getting it wrong ate me after a while. It felt like doing taxes to my little picture brain.

Meghan Taylor @talonserena.bsky.social · 6d

let: Honestly, I don’t take commissions anymore, but when I did, one of the many factors in why I quit was that folks insisted on trying to explain their very specific wants in paragraph form, no matter how much I begged for even just… stick figures. Scribbles. Something.

These are incredibly helpful because most artists are visual thinkers and we will get in an instant what a paragraph of text will only confuse and complicate. Don't sweat your drawing 'skills'; we are not judging you for that. We are eternally grateful.

SEND ARTISTS SHITTY MS PAINT DRAWINGS !!!

I AM THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PROPONENT OF THIS!!! IT MAKES THIS GO SO MUCH SMOOTHER AND COME OUT HOW YOU ENVISIONED IT WITH LIKE 90+% ACCURACY

It’s true! For the record, getting Heinrich was an INSTANT re-do. I legit did not want to draw him yet again. I refuse. XD

Laura’s what came up next and that felt so much better. Clearly I crave at least a bit of a challenge.

Meghan Taylor @talonserena.bsky.social · 6d

I spun the wheel in all seriousness for the first time last night and it came up as Heinrich. I’m so mad.

There are OCs on here you’ve never even HEARD OF.

(but I weighted it towards the ones I have actual designs for because I’m not a complete clod)
