iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The next time I have to draw a car I'm putting it out of focus in the back like I'm hinding a character's hands. 🚗struggles aside, this one was surprisingly straight forward once I began. I'm fast approaching the hard artwork, which contains a lake. Water rendering sucks in both 3D and 2D!

*Tumbles out of the dryer* Don't worry, I *did* finish the bedroom in a day! I just didn't post it. Also, I may or may not have forgotten to do the pillows, but that gives me an excuse for a character interaction. Past me is so clever for setting this up. Good job me. #fvn

*Loves wide-angle lenses* Finished a background I prepared in July (This VN's taking forever 💀) I remember being overwhelmed with the classic "Where do I even begin?" issue, and now I managed to shade it in a single day. Let's see if I can do the same to the bedroom tomorrow. #backgroundart

Double backgrounded up on a Sunday afternoon— Some backgrounds have night variants, which I'm less comfortable working on as this example may show, but we chunt on. My background "To Do" spreadsheet is tipping toward mostly green cells, but there's still plenty to do. Progress is being made~

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I love to noctivagate. Yes, that's a real word, and yes, English continues to be weird. Another background I'm quite happy with. I'm not used to doing night scene stuff, so this was a real challenge with the colors and lighting. Lots more night scenes to get done, so here we go. #fvn #furryvn

The backgrounds will continue until morale improves. I quite like this one.

Here's a thing from last week that I forgot to post, enjoy.

Been a minute since I posted, but I've actually done two more artworks for the VN. I'm making good progress. Here's one of them! It's a bit on the simpler side, element wise, which makes it all the harder to make it look 'enticing', but I think it works well enough.

092

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Another artwork down, many left to go. First one I've drawn from the start with the aspect ratio constraint I've setup since the VN is shown in the 'nvl' format. It was challenging to frame many elements while keeping it readable as a 'real' space that might exist. Chairs are hard. #fvn

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Another BG done. Large outdoor shots are pretty rough to do, especially if they're mostly natural environments. You can see the major steps I use in my process when making these in the 🧵below. #digitalart #fvn #visualnovel

Yet another background. Just don't mind the placeholder coffee shop sign.

Another background. This time inside the station. I'll do a final™ pass on the backgrounds when I export them to the VN to add a few more details like stickers, ads and some characters, hence why some elements are flat blocks for now.

This is a background I did for a an idea that's been shelved, but I used it to practice some color and shading. It was quite challenging, but I think I learned a thing or two.

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Here are two more backgrounds for my FVN. I'll still fuss around with the colors, shading, and add more props, etc, but it's nice to get the 'grunt' part of the work out of the way first. These ones were drawn over a 3D mockup I did in Unity with primitives. #fvn #digitalart

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

I've tricked my brain into getting the backgrounds done before the characters sprites for my novel and it's been pretty fun. Here's the lines for one of them. This one was done with a photograph of Fiesch Station from Switzerland, where I went to skii once.

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

A decade+ ago (literally) I had a blue dog as a 'sona' and for some reason I got the itch to draw him again with some tweaks. Even back then I loved jackets and future gear™. Tank top with a jacket tied around the waist may be in his future. Or maybe a Gundam? Hmmm... #furry #furryart

Work's getting in the way of drawing, but we've made it to A0_ElliotOnCar.psd It almost marks the 'mid point' of the first file, where the gang's finally together and we begin a lengthy conversation. A few more images and I'll be in need of some beta readers 🤔 Keep an eye out! #fvn #furryart

The picture that's based on the mock-up I posted earlier is kicking my ass, so I'm taking a break from it and then I'll tackle it with a different approach. Have a biblically accurate Kevin for your enjoyment instead. Be not afraid, child.

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

Another image, another 3D mock-up. The Alex™ is multiplying. I enjoy drawing backgrounds, since I basically zone out for most of it. The challenging part of this one will be the BG across the street, but I have some ideas. Enjoy! #wipart

Ailo Yeena @ailoyeena.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Since I've decided that the best way to get a consistent 'shine' is to shade all pictures in one fell swoop, I'll be sharing flats for a while. Enjoy a slice of the reverse shot of the last scene with a couple of poses. Love the way my little gremlins come out sometimes 🥰 #furryart #fvn

Locked in most of the art needed for the re-release, so it's time to draw. I'm posting a small Devlog tomorrow on Itch showing my process, so keep an eye out for that, Until then, enjoy Alex's first appearance. Anyone wanna be a background extra? #furry #fvn #wip #visualnovel #TheGoldenGlowVN

The picture depicts a work in progress drawing for The Golden Glow furry visual novel. It depicts a classroom, where a gray wolf is framed at the center. He sits at his desk while resting his head on a hand while looking up at something outside the frame. In the background, there are several other students at their desks; some are writing, others are looking out the window, or sleeping.

A little more of how I'm re-working my VN presentation. After I block the shots, I add the key background lines, sketch the objects and characters' expressions/pose changes, then "animate" it in code. After that, I'll add the text between the motions and then polish. #fvn #furryart #wip
