Details and photos here.

Made by Beastlabs Fursuits and purchased as a pre-made partial at NFC 2023.
It's only been worn a few times, mostly for Halloween and once at Eurofurence. Selling because I just.. don't enjoy suiting like I did, and would rather he went to someone who'll love him

3D printed head base, hinged jaw, glass eyes, fabric tongue and soft lower teeth. Zip enclosure at the back and elastic strapping. Faux scars modeled into the bridge of the nose Should fit basically any head size. ((I'm a 24 and they fit me fantastically, with room to spare))

Tails held on by two belt loops.

Hands fit me comfortably as a mens medium with room to breathe. The wrists are a little snug when you're putting them due to the trim cuffs, but are comfortable when worn. Could probably be let out by removing them

Asking 1500EU O.N.O. Will be brought to NFC 2026 in person to cut out any postage fees
Could potentially be picked up if you're in the UK

So after some thinking and tinkering; Changes are on the horizon :x but not as heavy as some might imagine

A familiar face will be returning and taking on my name once more. Hell, they were one of the first sonas of mine to originally take on my name x3
My old wolf lad most of y'all know as Grumpy.

They're getting a few tweaks along the way to help bring them up to new standards, and to remove some things that bugged me in the past about them.
They've always been a follower favorite, and a character to this day I still enjoy alot. So with these new adjustments to their design, a bit of a clothing style update to go with it; fingers crossed they'll fit more comfortably than before.
Hopefully it won't be to long before I can show off their updated design :x
I'm also going to be giving them a few different forms. Same markings/colors n layout, but on a different body or two. So expect a Bunwolf among other things to >3>


As for Xan'Daelos, the daemon? he's not going away. He's just getting put on the back burner. I love them, but they're almost impossible to get art of. Maybe one in seven artists I approached were willing to draw him, and I had a few of those even cancel the commission later on.
It made him feel very unwanted/unliked. Which triggered my own real life issues with the same thing; and ultimately massively disconnected me from him.

It's something that's come up a couple times recently, either directly or in passing. So I thought I'd address it


I have never, and will never commission any artwork of my characters; involving a Human.
The same pretty much goes for artwork that's being gifted to me as well. No Humans.
There's a possible YCH in the works involving Xander and some micro followers; and it will have that restriction put on it as well.


I just really don't like how 99% of artists draw humans. The faces always look weird. Plus, especially when contrasting against an anthro character; they just stick out. I honestly don't like seeing humans in furry art as a general rule regardless x.o
Sorry if that rubs anyone up the wrong way, but it's how I feel on the subject, and it's my stance on artwork that involves my characters.


I'm posting this, because it's come up a couple times now, either asked of me directly, or made in a passing comment by someone with a human character, and I just want to be very clear with it.
I am flattered you enjoy my characters and the art I get, and that some of y'all would like to feature in a picture with them.
But if your characters human? It's not gonna happen.

Met so many new good beans! Had a blast despite the high temperatures and getting slightly sick (Sore throat and cough from shouting/talking so much xD)
First time getting Grumpy's suit out and about, and people seemed to like him; especially the local fuckin' kids! Me and got SWARMED on the tuesday and couldn't get away for like fifteen minutes xD

I dunno if I'll go again as the temperatures were just... too high for my health.
And there was alot of mistakes being made with communication, scheduling n such that I just don't expect from a con team twenty three years in... including changing events last second and not posting about it ((Fursuit parade being cancelled then not multiple times with no updates or warnings on the twitter page or schedules... fursuit photo shoot being moved about then suddenly last minute held outside despite the boards saying it was in Con Hall 5...))

All in all it was a positive experience.. but nowhere near as good as NFC is, despite costing almost three times as much to attend it...

I'll be landing in hamburg with  dylbun on the second, and we're there till the 8th.

Who's going as well? would be good to meet followers :x I'll be in my fursuit for probably a good chunk of the convention with a flip over bunny badge

I'm on there now since twitter seems to be shitting itself to death :x

I've said this before, but it does with saying again as it's been happening a few times lately
____________________________________________________________________________

Please do not just send me random messages or friend requests on things like Telegram or Discord.
I do not list my Discord, Telegram or Steam names on my profile for a reason x.o

I am quite a private person in general. I have issues with anxiety and some other things, and generally reserve direct messengers like those purely for people I consider friends, or for conducting business with artists as it's a more efficient way to go over commission details and pass over references.
If I'm up for speaking with someone over these programs; I'll offer my contact information to the person, or request theirs.

I don't mind comments on works I upload here, or on twitter. And in general I sometimes reply to notes.
But I am generally not much for back and forth chatter like some folks are unless I'm comfortable with and know the person better. Blame it on the number of people who've added me before only looking for free art or sexual roleplay. I'm just alot more guarded now on how I let people approach me.

If you enjoy the works I've commissioned? Fav em, comment on them. Hells bells, blow your collective load to them if that's your thing. I buy smut for a reason xD
Chances are I'll reply to comments and such in time.


But, yhea.
Don't look for my messenger names n such in the hope of randomly adding me out of the blue please. It is not welcome and can, mood pending, actually be very disquieting/upsetting for me.

I've been spending alot of time in Source Film Maker and Blender lately, learning to pose models, tinker with them a bit. Learning to animate, how lighting and cameras work, all that fun jazz.

So far, the test renders have been going down well on twitter, so I wondered if I should post them here as well? even if only in scraps?
It's mostly been Vanny from Security Breach; showing off her paws in various ways, macro and non macro x3

So as above, my bunny boy Xander is going through some... changes >3>

Folks who know me better, know Xan's somewhat magical by nature. Well, let's just say that magic can go wrong sometimes. Thus, Xander's getting a redesign as two forms combined~

Combining a number of my loves, and my pleasure in the macabre and unusual; Xanders going to be taking on a new form; as a living suit with a similar design aesthetic to Vanny from FNAF Security Breach. His over all 'look' will be the same, but now in the form of a stitched together, slightly baggy looking suit version of his former self. Said suit will be containing what he actually is, which is a shifting blackish-blue mass of goop that fills the suit.
Now for those worried about the future art of him. Do not fret~ The suit will still have meaty soles for ye to enjoy :p and it's maw will be very realistic looking/feeling... since it's somewhat made from the goo beast within >3>


This also unlocks some potential fun art possibilities in the future~ Of Xander/Xanny pulling people into the suit with him, either just to tease and toy with them, or outright fill them and close the suit around them so he can corrupt their minds to his service~
Who wouldn't like getting an all over body hug from Xan while his goo self is wrapped around and coursing through them?~




So yes. Soon Xander will be a living mixture of a suit and a goo creature resembling a bunny :x Hopefully I'll have concepts/finished art sooooooon!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45081580/ Think like this image here; but with Xanders look, and a custom stitch pattern/not so patchwork :x

Officially 35!

Now shower me in art of bun maws and paws xP kidding; if you wanna doodle me something, then by all means <3
Gonna be spending the day with Dylan, likely go see a film :3

So, yhea. April 8th, this old bun-wolf will be turning thirty five. Essentially midlife x.o

I'll be spending the day alone most likely as I have no local friends, and travel is a little tricky right now financially. So at best I'll get a message or two online from folks but I don't expect much else.
If ye wanna get me anything; I won't say no to bday bunny or wolf sketches x3 can always use more art of my meaty ol' maws and paws for the little lovelies to enjoy.

Also gonna be looking to get some soft handpaws and footpaws made for my suit soon. Furry tops, likely faux leather for the palms and soles for added softness >3>

Seriously. I really, REALLY wish this site had some kind of fucking function or filter so you could block uploads from appearing in your searches, or on the front page/browse and the like.

The ammount of scat art popping up lately on the front page of the site, or in searches because it shares a keyword in the description or tags is... repugnant, to say the least.
What I'd give for a feature where you can enter words/keywords into that will stop them ever showing for you. Or to just outright block someone and never see anything they upload in the feed.

The model made by of Grumpy isn't available for, or intended for public use.

I trust CF to do right by my character and not to abuse the trust I put in them when I asked them to make a 3D model of Grump.
I know he won't put my character in situations/pictures I'm uncomfortable with, and has always asked before making renders of him.

I do not have that level of faith in most people, especially people I don't know. This is why if I ever get other models made that are Blender/SFM compatible; I will ask the same of them; that they are only ever made accessable to me and the artist who makes it.
I've had characters completely ruined by things other people have done without my consent, and it has left me VERY protective of my characters these days.


That said, expect more renders in the future. Things in my life are.. kind of getting better, and my financial situation is improving; so I may be able to afford ard and renders soon. So there will be more 3D Grump in time!

They've been retired for.. probably ten plus years at this point, maybe longer? So I doubt anyone remembers them. But I've been considering bringing back my Crux.
I have a fair bit of art of them I still love, back from when I did conventions like Eurofurence in the 2010's. The last image ever done of him was done at my last convention, Confuzzled in 2013. Around the time I stopped using him after a fursuit maker made a character that was almost a copy of him; and "I" got called the design thief and hounded by their followers. So I ended up retiring him at the time for my own well being.


For those who may remember him; he was the two tailed, four eared mess of black and white I had a fair bit of macro artwork done of.

Uploaded a few more older pieces and one or two newer ones. Will upload more of the older art probably tomorrow.
Don't wanna flood people with a couple years worth of collected art all in one go x3

Not ALL of the old art will be re-uploaded though. Only my favorites or ones that mean something to me.

So a few folks noticed that for a fair while this account has been innactive, and actually locked down so it couldn't be accessed for the last three or so.

Things have not been good for me for a long time now, and they eventually just reached a peak and boiled over around may and lead me into a very... bad spiral.
I've dealt with mental health issues most of my life, including depression, self worth issues, multiple suicide attempts and more. I am not a happy person. I put on a happy mask for the sake of others. But in doing so I've ended up making myself worse as a result as I ended up putting all my focus in making sure other people were happy. Wether by sacrificing my time, my money or my health.
Folks who know me closest know I also live with alot of medical conditions that I sadly can't get shit done for. Pain is a constant companion for me, with no medication to numb it ((Two shattered, exposed nerve molars; I consider those 'annoying' pains... to give you an idea of what the rest are like)).
As you can imagine, those also put quite the strain on my mental state. It's.. exhausting some days just getting up and doing the shit I need to do.

No job, no social circle, limited income, constant pain and failing health. That shit will, literally, break you.



Most if not all of y'all don't give a twoddle about that or me though. So. Art!

Yhea. There's nothing new. I havent commissioned anything since before April. I have no pending commissions. I have nothing planned.
I'm selling off/have sold off a number of my characters. I won't be commissioning art of them again.
Right now, Behemoth and the Rabbit are left. Someones already made an offer on Behe, pending payment, so he's already going to a new home soon most likely.
Not sure what I'll ask for the rabbit, if anyones even interested in him. Art of him never did that well anyway.
Grumpy Wolf will be staying, though he is getting a slight re-design, but don't expect anything on that front any time soon as that's going to take time and money, the latter of which I really don't have right now.
But there will be new art of him someday, likely toward new years when my loans finally end. :x


So, yhea.
TL:DR for those who cant be assed: Had a big breakdown due to physical/mental health and life. No new art. Characters being sold. Whee!
