Add a photo you took of something good.

A bench built in to torso of a wingless, western-style brownish-red dragon. His eyes smoulder with non-specific rage, as though to promise terrible vengeance upon any who sit.

A larger dragon lurks in the foliage, and seems to be amused at the plight of his smaller bench-ified brethren.

The Forbidden Fursuit Drying Rack has a chastity cage.

Photograph showing a hotel room fire sprinkler mounted high on a wall. The sprinkler is surrounded by a hexagonal wire cage, in what is likely a futile attempt to prevent guests damaging the sprinkler and thereby flooding the room with a torrent of stagnant water.

Below this whole affair is a sticker reading "Do Not Hang Items From Sprinkler Head / This Will Cause Flooding", accompanied by a graphic shown a coat hanger in a red circle with a slash through it.

Ref by @runasolaris.art; more art here: www.furaffinity.net/gallery/tahi... Tahiru: A troubled soul, born of conflict, with a bloody past and some terrible regrets. He yearns to be a force for good, and mostly succeeds. Thanks for the opportunity, and best of luck to all who enter!

Color reference sheet for the black and gold dragon Tahiru, created by @runasolaris.art as a commission for me, and presented here with the kind permission of the artist.

The image shows two full-body views of Tahiru, who is a non-anthro western dragon. In one, he is walking on all fours. In the other, he is in flight. His colors are black and gold. Black dominates his back, flanks, and the top surface of his wings. His belly, throat and the underside of his wings are mostly gold.

The image also shows detailed views of his head, eye, forepaws and wings.

A tiny acrylic charm (about 2cm x 3cm) showing the head of the black and gold dragon Tahiru. He's shown facing directly front, mouth open in a smile, eyes closed.

A traditional-media image of the black and gold dragon Tahiru, created by @kshanti.bsky.social as a commission for me, and presented here with the kind permission of the artist.

In this watercolor image, Tahiru is shown standing on all fours with wings folded. His left side is toward the viewer, and he has turned his head to look at the viewer. His expression is calm and perhaps somewhat pensive.

This is one of the first depictions of Tahiru I commissioned. The original is framed and has a place of honor on my wall.

In this image, Tahiru is facing toward and somewhat to the left of the viewer. His wings are spread, and it looks like he's just come in for a landing. His left paws are on the ground. His right forelimb is stretched forward, and his right rear leg is flung behind him. He is looking over his left shoulder, turning the right side of his face to the viewer.

"In Glasgow, Scotland, an immersive Wonka-inspired experience, provided by entertainment company House of Illuminati, promised a journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises at every turn. In reality, all that awaited the families who showed up to the event, was a disappointing, surreal nightmare, that became an instant social media classic."

Traditional media depiction of the dragon Tahiru, created by @luthiennightwolf.bsky.social as a commission for me, and presented here with the kind permission of the artist. This work is mixed media, incorporating marker and colored pencil.

In this image, Tahiru is shown standing on a stone, wings spread, facing away and to the right of the viewer. His head is turned to gaze at the viewer with his right eye.

The background is predominantly green, showing the outlines of tall, graceful trees and lower leafy vegetation. There is an abstract brown border in an Art Nouveau style, evocative of the work of Alphonse Mucha.

You may recall my recent fullbody commission from @mollin.bsky.social : bsky.app/profile/tahi... They were kind enough to give me permission to make physical stickers from their digital artwork, and those stickers arrived today from @stickerapp.bsky.social .

Small sticker with color fullbody illustration of the black-and-gold dragon Tahiru, created by @mollin.bsky.social as a commission for me, and made into physical stickers with the kind permission of the artist.

Tahiru is shown in flight, wings spread, body nearly vertical, his left side toward the viewer. His head is turned to the left to look back over his shoulder. He is smiling warmly.

The backing paper of the sticker bears the text:

"Looking Back" by @virensere.bsky.social Tahiru has a past with dark, bloody things in it, and will always carry the weight of that, as he tries to be the best possible version of himself going forward. (2/4)

Digital image of the black and gold dragon Tahiru, created by @virensere.bsky.social as a commission for me, and presented here with the kind permission of the artist.

In this image, Tahiru is facing the viewer, his head, neck, shoulders and part of his wings visible. He gazes upward and to his right, eyes intense and expression grave. He is backlit with a reddish light, and appears against an abstract background of white with a red line that suggests dripping blood.

One possible interpretation is that he has done violence, and is troubled by his conscience...
