Defy the Darkness. A piece for my mentor, Rakasa! Had the pleasure of sitting down and designing a fursona for her. I'm sitting here, muttering "one of us, one of us..." Overall, I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I think it's one of my stronger pieces! [ #art #furryart #furry #wolf]

Dreaming of Azure Pools. This was exceptionally challenging, but rewarding to see it through. Overall, this was an awesome experience and a good reminder of a few lessons that I need to keep in mind as I dive into more complex illustrations! [ #art #furryart #taur #elk]

Moon Unchaining. I got a neat comment at Stratosfur about how some of my pieces worked so well because of complementary color palettes. Granted, several folks had mentioned that, but I guess it took another mention to really drive it home! [ #art #furryart #furry #fox #TTRPG]

Dawning. (Commission for @myxomatosis.bsky.social) When I make art, I pick a song and post lyrics that inspired the title. Sometimes the work transports me to a serene place, so I named it Dawning, a song by Yasmin Williams. [#art #furryart #furry #martern #illustration]

Lady Maria Master Study! Super pleased to have finished this one out over the past week! I wanna give huge credit to Deiv Calviz; you can find his stuff here (deivcalviz.artstation.com/projects) and the original work here (deivcalviz.artstation.com/projects/ZGo...).

All you Need. Finished up this commission for @gyraxis.bsky.social earlier this week! This was an awesome opportunity to work on a moodier piece, and Khaldun was super fun to paint. Thank you again for the opportunity! [ #art #furryart #furry #jackal #DnD]

I am trying to divorce myself from the idea that everything I put on social media needs to be perfect. I want to prove that anyone can pick up a pen and create. In that spirit, I'll start posting my studies here so folks can see my own growing pains and start their own journeys.

Nowhere Man. Updated Nay'em's design to a more polished look that better fits him! This is the first time I've sat down and repainted a character. The shapes and colors work way better on a second pass! Named this one after my favorite Beatles song >:3 [ #art #furryart #jackal #DnD #Beastworld]

A Pride sketch for a patron! Pride month may be over, but don't dim your light for anyone! [ #art #furryart #furry #fox #sketch]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Superbloom! I painted this one for Pride because I hadn't done anything with my sona in 5+ years, so I wanted to paint him this time around! And remember, in these trying times, be sure to hold onto your light and keep your eyes on the horizon! Happy Pride! [ #art #furryart #furry #Tanuki]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Also throwing this and the blender reference in the comments here because it was quite fun to use myself as the reference this time around! (And yes, those are all raccoons behind me, and yes, they all were gifts)

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

OoOh, Shiny! Commission for Asher over on Discord! Really pleased with how this came out, tried a new workflow by starting in Blender this time around, and I was really pleased with how the final result came out! [ #art #furryart #kenku #crow #DnD #bird #sketch]

I will always make Jackal's cunty, it is the rule. But another FWA sketch for @manedjackal.bsky.social . I do love Solus' design, he's so fun to draw, especially all of the jewelry on his ears! [ #art #furryart #furry #jackal #sketch]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

And the other Patron sketch from last month! I've actually really been enjoying the monocolor backgrounds on these, and when you print them out, they kinda look like polaroids. [ #art #furryart #furry #fox #sketch]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

A Patron sketch from last month of their delver! This time I didn't have a theme, but I think I'm gonna make one going forward. This month, I'm thinking I'm gonna try and mimic the style of a video game I really enjoyed recently. [ #art #furryart #furry #wolf #sketch #beastworld]

I have been learning Blender over the past few weeks and followed some of CG Fast Track's tutorials. I did the donut tutorial a while back and gave up, so this was a very fun and refreshing take on the software! Still need to learn a bit about lightning settings, but I'll get there with time!

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

And all of the sketches side by side from FWA, I have more in the works right now to round everyone out, but I love how they all look side by side! [ #art #furryart #furry #sketch]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Ope, I missed one! This is the last of the sketches completed at FWA for @guntotinggay.bsky.social! Dimitri is the best boi, and I haven't been able to draw a bear in a while, so it was a great chance to revisit them! Also, check out Sock's art, it rocks! [ #art #furryart #furry #bear #sketch]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Last of the batch of sketches completed at FWA. This sly fox belongs to @bellakore.bsky.social. I'm glad he was the first to kick off this little sketching trend! [ #art #furryart #furry #fox #sketch]

The professor is in, a headshot sketch for @the-enigma-files.com! Got to get to know Enigma over a few Commander games at FWA. He absolutely smoked me with his Boros deck, but he was a great sport about it! [ #art #furryart #furry #wolf #sketch]

The man, the myth, the legend himself, Ivan! It was an absolute blast getting to playtest the new Beastworld module with @eonspec.bsky.social at FWA. Love how Ivan is just a wolf with Gurren Lagan sunglasses, and it just works. [ #art #furryart #furry #wolf #sketch]

10 of Wands Tarot Card #commission for @pangolinhiran.bsky.social! Phew, I gotta say this was really challenging, but super rewarding to see it come together. But definitely took a lot away from it! Thank you for the support! [ #art #furryart #furry #unicorn]

Kell @gmkell.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Another headshot but not from FWA! This sketchy critter belongs to @foxyforboxes.bsky.social as a belated birthday gift. Absolutely love Box's design, and it was a great opportunity to test out some different styles for eyes! [ #art #furryart #furry #fox #sketch]

My part of the art trade with @auraspeck.bsky.social. Hex is such a fun OC to draw! I wanted to give her a bit of a bashful vibe here. And gotta give Aura some huge props here for pushing me out of my comfort zone to experiment, I really appreciate it! [ #art #furryart #furry #lion #sketch]

Another FWA sketch for a particular movie tiger! Honestly, getting to sit down and watch Hackers was transformative. Did I understand anything that happened in that film? Absolutely not. #HackthePlanet [ #art #furryart #furry #tiger #sketch]

I was at FWA last week and had a blast catching up with everyone. While I was there, I also gave some thought to adopting a sketchier style so I can put out art more quickly. I have several more on the way, and wanted to use the opportunity to study Alsares' art! This is the first of the batch!

A sketch of my friend's sona, a red fox with a ponytail and a pair of glasses!

I've been looking through all the art on my Bluesky, and I can't believe I never posted my bard! He's everyone's favorite punk rock poser, the lead guitarist of the Psychic Screams, Blayze Hex! [ #FurryArt #DnD #TTRPG #oc #DnDart #Anthro ]

Digital painting of an anthro raccoon holding a guitar shaped like a sword, ready to strum a few riffs. He wears oversized black vinyl boots with several-inch high platforms (And no, they don't add that much height!), coupled with black pants, a crop top leather jacket & breastplate with oversized pauldron on his shoulder!

Finally, atop his head is a large orange mohawk, and his tail is dyed in shades of orange!

The Roar of the Spark. "The sun is blisteringly hot, I can barely stand, but they're counting on me! You're a hero, damnnit!" A piece of my leonin monk, Antana. Extremely proud of this one, but I'm excited to pick it back up to push it farther! #art #illustration #digitalart #furry #furryart

A male lion charges a punch as a competitor rushes toward him. Lights gather around his fist, and draconic scales begin to crawl their way up his arm. The lion wears a metal mask with draconic horns. The two fighters are inside an arena with hundreds of onlookers, midday.

Midnight Reflections. A commission for Skyebox over on Furaffinity, very pleased with how this came together, and I managed to get some fun learning out of it, so excited to take it forward in the next pieces! [ #FurryArt #DnDArt #FantasyArt #ArtistOnBluesky #AbstractArt]

A female kitsune sits on the top of a mountain wearing blue and white robes with her foot dipped in water. A lantern hangs from the end of a glaive stuck in the rocks as she looks wistfully at the moon. A Tree and some stacking pools frame the image on the left and right sides.

The sky is a mess of various strands of blue strokes with gold highlights punctuating them periodically.

The Jackal Prince of Dreams First artwork of 2026 finished, very pleased where this landed! #FurryArt #DnDArt #FantasyArt #ArtistOnBluesky #ArtNouveau

An anthropomorphic jackal stands framed against an Art Nouveau background shaped like an eye. They weave golden arcane strings that emanate from a floating book in the foreground.

The jackal is clad in golden jewelry, wears a turquoise cape, and a vest of black leather with golden edges. They wear a copper dragon scale necklace with blue gems that are inlaid into the scale and a copper tiara on their head that is a mexture of golds, greens, and browns!

Somewhere in the haze, Nine daggers light the way, To get back to forgiveness. Star Eyes, I can't change the fading of a twilight, But you've got to chase the night away. Star Eyes, You can't change the blooming of a red tide, Instead of wondering why, Try to let tomorrow's sun rise, Oh- Star Eyes

A Nine of Swords tarot card of a jackal clad in red and gold robes who holds his hands in a pious position while looking upward. He has an 8-pointed golden star centered on his eye and wears golden jewelry with eye motifs. Behind him float 9 swords turned downward, levitated by an unseen force, and a large eye observing him from behind.

The piece is clad in intense red tones!

Resolve. Hey folks, I'm excited to have this done finally! Decided it would be fun to update all my old D&D characters to BW! To start out, my first D&D character, Kyat, an Oath of Redemption Paladin! The metal was very challenging, but I'm happy with what I landed on! #Furry #Wolf #DigitalArt

A brown wolf, clad in steel armor with blue tones, stands in front of a golden background with moon symbolism that radiates from his head. A large blue cape sweeps behind him as he prepares to draw his sword from his purple scabbard!

Lommi! Done for...well...Lommi over in Beastworld! Honestly, it's a super cool community to be a part of and full of wonderful folks! This was also the first dragon I've done, learned a lot, and am looking forward to painting more going forward! #Furry #Digitalart #illustration #Dragon

A golden dragon framed against a yellow and red background in a circular frame. She wears armor that is painted in hues of white, blue, and reds, and a red and white cape!

A piece of my own D&D Character, Squire Theodore, looking a bit more serious than normal! This was a super fun opportunity to experiment with Color Jitter to include a wide variety of tones in the armor, halberd, gambeson, and flag!

A Crogi with blond and white fur around the eyes in the Catarina armor set from Dark Souls 3. He holds a halberd in both of his hands across his chest at a slight angle.

From the back of the halberd is a robin's egg blue flag with the emblem of a yellow and black cauldron that wraps around the figure moving behind him and then over his arms in the foreground.

The figure wears a dark blue gambeson under his armor. Within the armor, flag, weapon, gambeson, and gloves, a variety of colors are mixed, ranging from white to orange, purple, and blue tones.

The figure stands in front of a mosaic of varied blue hues and a pointed frame.

Hey everyone! I've been wanting to start posting art here for a while and figured what better piece to lead with than this pride month illustration done for @icedsteelwolf.bsky.social's character, the Will-o-Wolf and Knight of Foxglove (my own personal suggestion :p) Galliard!

An art nouveau-esque painting of a male wolf with black fur, large ears, and blue eyes holding a wine glass in their right hand and narcissus in their left, wearing a large purple dress. The figure has a prosthetic left arm that is carved from wood with metal accents.

The model, Gallaird, is surrounded by purple and pink foxglove and positioned in front of a circular stained glass motif that contains shades of yellows, pinks, purples, and greens.
