I found out you can make custom watch faces for smart watches. So, in honor of #painteddogday I made one of Dex. He licks the screen when I tap it. [ #furryart #sfwfurry ]

It is World Painted Dog Day! Social, intelligent, efficient hunters, painted dogs (African wild dogs) are the sole extant members of the Lycaon genus (L. pictus) - Canidae family. They lack dewclaws & have 4 toes, not five. They need coordinated conservation efforts. 🌿 #CincinnatiZoo #Mammals

I've had an unused MidiFighter3D sitting around, and being the dumbass I am I decided to make it usable for art. I'm mapping the buttons to keyboard commands so I don't gotta click as much on screen. Hopefully this helps my art making process.

Am I just crazy, or has anyone had the experience of switching your sketching brush to something new and all of a sudden your sketching has completely changed? Like, I'm just freehanding so much better right now after I just switched.

I love when I see fursuiters that have a costume/dedicated clothing attached to their suiting. It just gives them so much depth imo. (Not to say w/o it is bad or anything!)

I was thinking about it and realized Artfight doesn't have to end just because Artfight is over. I'm just gonna gift art to the people I've got bookmarked if they have a bluesky. It'd definitely help me keep motivated to draw and work on new techniques as I also work on my new project.

#Artfight Revenge I did for @fernthewolf.bsky.social! I had a blast drawing it, and its always cool to see another hockey fan. [ #furryart #sfwfurry]

I think the best part about Artfight (besides seeing some amazing characters that I cant wait to attack next year) is that it really pushed me to develop my art workflow and experiment a bit by drawing what I usually wouldn't think to draw. I definitely learned some new things that I like. #artfight

Just finished my last Artfight Attack of the year. Did 4 attacks in 2 days, and completed all my Revenges. This was so much fun, I hope to do more next year! Hopefully my schedule won't be so busy so I can dedicate more time to it.

Man, I had a solid 2 weeks of being unable to do any Artfights. I'll try to get a few more done before Sunday (especially revenges), and then I got a bunch of peeps to attack next year! Be warned, I'm starting Artfight 2027 with a bang!

Dex 🖌️🐶 @dexthepainteddog.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I keep finding cool people to attack (plus one revenge I'm working on)! I'm aiming to get 1 a day if possible, but idk, might need to save a few for the beginning of next year. No stress, having SO MUCH fun doing Artfight for the first time!

I have a thing I'm trying to do, and I wanna gather IRL furry/animal related bandnames. Some examples include: Pigeons playing Ping Pong, Caligula's Horse, Hevisaurus. Any and every genre is fine. Please reply if you think of one and repost to help me gather more. #furrybandnames

I have so many people I wanna attack on Artfight, but I've been so busy and unable to do them.

Dex 🖌️🐶 @dexthepainteddog.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Made my first ever artfight atack, on Pikelboo. They made an amazing revenge too!

Love how Artfight keeps going down. 😂

Idk what's going on but I've been craving going to a furry con like crazy the past week, even tho I've never been to one. I've gone to nonfur cons before. I'm watching so many con vids and found a semi-local con that I might try to go to next year. It's gonna be a long wait. #DexText

I've been enjoying making art over the past month and a half, especially experimenting to find what I like and don't like. Currently working on figuring out a shading style. [ #furryart #sfwfurry] featuring: my messed up drawing position!

I gotta say, even though I only made Dex fairly recently, I've connected to him in such a deep way. I've been a furry for ~14 years, and gone through many fursona species attempts that never felt nearly this close to me or completely right. Now I can't stop seeing Dex as a reflection of me.

Haven't had time to do any art, so I took a few minutes today to doodle this. I've been working on a cosplay for a con and its taking me forever! Can't wait to finish it. [ #furryart #sfw ]

This sketch shows Dex, an anthropomorphic Painted Dog, sitting hunched over a sewing machine, sewing some blue fabric together.

Based on personal experience, AKA all of high school. #furryart

Dex responds "No, why?", his eyes are super red even though he's literally never done drugs and is just really tired.

I recently got into Glam-punk, so I decided to try a glam-punk hairstyle on Dex while trying to nail down a drawing style. Totally not gonna keep it. #furryart #sfwfurryart

Hey Y'all, I'm Dex. I'm a SFW furry artist, making some art for fun! I'll be posting only my art (SUPER inconsistently), but I hope you enjoy what you see!

Pictured is a bust drawing of Dex, an African Painted Dog furry. He's got green eyes and a blue feather on a necklace around his neck.
