Fómhar, the Autumnal Deity! (it/its) A personal mascot/kinsona-thing I’ve had for a couple years now that I have actual costume parts for! I plan to remake its head and paws sometime this year, hopefully before Halloween and/or the next furry con I attend. #furry #characterdesign
A digital drawing of a fox-like creature that resembles folk/vintage Halloween costume; it is posed mid-leap. It has a sculpted red head, brown fabric limbs, a furry black body with yellow and red flecks, and a braided tail made of yellowed straw. It has small antlers, a nicked ear, bright eyes with slit pupils, and off-white details on its face. It is smiling with yellow, human-like teeth and is sticking its forked tongue out through them. It is wearing a large plaid bow around its neck; its limbs are corduroy, ending in pitch-black paws with long, sharp claws. Its limbs also have noticeable stitch-work, and the hind leg that is in view is patched up with red, polka-dot fabric. One of its front paws has loose stitching around the wrist with a tuft of straw stuffing coming out.

A digital drawing of a fat, anthro gargoyle wearing a steampunk-inspired uniform, holding a marine telescope. He has a prosthetic tail and wings made of shiny metal. He has curly, ram-like horns, golden talons, a hippo-like face, and facial hair made of lichen. A small sailor’s cap upon his head obscures some of his face. A variation of the first drawing. The gargoyle is not wearing the hat, and instead has a large golden monocle over his left eye. A second variation of the first drawing. The gargoyle is not wearing the hat or the monocle.A third variation of the first drawing. The gargoyle has small, half circle glasses on and no hat.

Few more characters from the same story as the last. Their names (in order) are: Terrence, Wyatt, Winona, Felicity, and Madison!
A digital drawing featuring a man with long, ginger hair and tan skin— Terrence; he has one hand behind his back and the other is raised in greeting. He has an awkward smile on his face. Terrence is wearing a white dress shirt with a mint-green tie, striped grey pants, and dress shoes. There is a small yellow flower in the pocket of his shirt. There are written words to the upper left of him, reading: “Terrence Brookfield (he/him)”.A digital drawing of two people standing side by side in retro attire.

My characters Wulamallessin/Willow, Celine, and Lanette! They are in a lesbian polycule together :) I really enjoy their dynamic. Wulamallessin is an artist that owns an antique store, Celine is a park ranger and biology professor, and Lanette is an author, historian, and activist!
A digital drawing of three Black women standing side by side in differing poses. 

The first woman is the shortest; she is Afro-Indigenous. Her name is Wulamallessin, also known as Willow. She has a stylized square body shape, textured hair with light streaks in it from age, round green-tinted sunglasses, and a big smile on her face. She has chunky necklaces on, a bandana around her head, a white shirt, a yellow vest over it, a teal skirt in various shades, and open-toed sandals. Her finger and toe nails are painted. 

The second woman is the tallest of them all; she has spots of vitiligo on her face, neck, hands, and hair. She has one hand held up in a peace sign. She is smiling. This is Celine. She has an afro and is wearing large round glasses, a green sweater with a collared shirt underneath, bootcut brown corduroy pants, and chunky yellow heels. 

The third woman is considerably shorter than Celine; she is holding a book against her chest in one hand, while the other is in her pants pocket. This is Lanette. She has short, textured hair that is greying. She has a stern yet calm look on her face. She is wearing a dark green-teal beret and turtleneck sweater, and black pants and shoes.

Changed my mind; I’m going for Team Tragedy! Here’s my user card, done in mspaint :) #artfight #artfight2026 #teamtragedy
An ArtFight user card for Team Tragedy featuring an anthropomorphic horseshoe crab mascot in the main icon circle. The five character icon spaces feature a fox-like creature that resembles folk costume, a subway train monster with glowing eyes, a sentient car missing a headlight, a woman with long hair, tan skin, and a business suit, and a shiny black cat with tall ears. 

There is written text on the card that says the following: USER: limulidae. I ATTACK: friends, mutuals, anyone with characters I enjoy. 

The boxes checked off to the side are labeled friendly fire and revenges. The boxes checked off on the bottom under “characters I have” are labeled: human, feral, anthro, and monster. Below that, there is a bonus section that lists vehicles, objects, and aliens as extra character types.

Another Runaways character! This is Shelley. She runs a lakeside music venue that Comet performs at with his band. She’s from California, probably.
A digital drawing featuring a sentient, dark green woody wagon with a black roof, red-rimmed whitewall tires, and curb feelers. There are two drawings on the canvas— a profile and a view from the back. Shelley, the car in both drawings, has relaxed, half-lidded headlight eyes and a mouth below her grille. The back view shows a license plate that reads “SURF” and a notable amount of haphazardly placed, colorful bumper stickers. There is written text in the corner of the canvas that reads “SHELLEY (she/her)”.

My characters Comet and Roxanne :) They’re from my story Runaways and play significant secondary roles. Comet is the lead singer of a doo-wop cover band while Roxanne is more versed in solo motown performances. They are married and have a bit of a Roger + Jessica Rabbit type of thing going on, haha.
A small, stylized anthropomorphic car (inspired by the Nash Metropolitan) with black and white paint; he has eyebrows, headlight eyes, and an open-mouthed smile. He has thin whitewall tires and a raccoon tail attached to his antenna. A digital drawing of a long, rose pink 50s car (a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado) with large tail fins and a white roof. She has four headlight eyes and a mouth below her grille. She has silver detailing along her body and whitewall tires.

Eva Stratt as Atlas, from April 🌍 #projecthailmary
A digital drawing of a white woman in a trenchcoat with long blonde hair kneeling down with a globe being balanced on her back, steadied by her hands— a pose similar to that of Atlas in Greek mythos. She is gritting her teeth with a stern expression, sweat trickling down her face, struggling with the weight of the mini Earth. The background is a simple black-to-orange gradient.

The grey cat (Greystripe) has a joyful expression, smiling with his tongue sticking out. His companion (Firestar) has his eyes closed, mid-laugh at the gesture.

2026 ref for my main fursona, Rooney! Not super in love with the outfits I made but I figure it gives me an opportunity to draw them in whatever I want <3

They also have barnacles on their back, representing acne. The main drawing shows them standing, arms posed, with a happy expression.Rooney in the same primary pose, this time with clothes. The outfit is made up of a teal bowling shirt, an ascot with a shell-shaped holder, corduroy pants, and dark shoes.Rooney in the same pose, in a secondary outfit.

A series of sketches featuring my OC, Saul Martinelli. Been a while since I’ve drawn him. Strange guy that means a lot to me.
A series of rough sketches featuring a dark-skinned man with a short beard and a short, stocky build. He is wearing a flat cap, a large overcoat, a tie, and suspenders. He has a prominent nose, deep eyebags, and one of his eyes is scarred blind. The digital canvas is filled with texture, giving the look of old, heavily-stained paper.

Click Clack! Felt nice to do something directly midcentury inspired again 🖤🤍 #greatgodgrove

I’ve been thinking about beavers lately. Here’s me as a beaver. My beaversona, if you will.
A digital drawing of a cartoon beaver in side profile, plus a sketched headshot. The beaver is wearing a small pair of gold glasses on their snout. The headshot is loose and uncolored, while the fullbody drawing is colored with a marker-like brush in various browns.

Voyager One piece I did for a friend’s zine a few months ago 💛🛰️
A digital painting featuring the space probe Voyager One with a bright rainbow wave coming out of its satellite dish. There are lyrics from various songs flowing from the rainbow with a scrapbook style to them, each word individually cut and pasted onto the piece. Voyager One itself is rendered with light and shadow, but the rainbow is not, giving it a fantastical look. 

The lyrics pasted onto the piece are as follows:

“I’ll be your mirror
Reflect what you are,
in case you don’t know.”
(From I’ll Be Your Mirror by the Velvet Underground)

“An untouched diamond
Golden and Brilliant
Without illumination.”
(From I Won’t Hurt You by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band)

“The stars and the planets
Are calling me
A billion years away
From You.”
(From My Tears Are Becoming A Sea by M83)

Another commission for another friend! Very fun character to draw :]

Commission for a friend :)
A digital sketch scene featuring two people in the seats of a baseball stadium, playfully commenting on something happening in the game. The woman has a hand lifted by her mouth to speak privately to the man at her side, who is looking back at her with a grin. They are both wearing baseball hats and jerseys. The audience around them is implied with vague humanoid shapes. There is sharp lighting and shadows in the piece, also implying the game is taking place at night.
