In August this year I finally commissioned a reference sheet for my fursona Fabrice Vendee, a character that I had been developing for almost over a year by then. It is around this time, where I really entered the furry community, previously merely enjoying the art (both the SFW and the NSFW ones) and occasionally lurking around on Discord servers. With the year coming to an end in a few days, I wanted to quickly reflect on my experiences with this fandom so far, tell you what you might expect to see next year, and thank some pretty neat people. I have you warn you advance though that the text may be a little longwinded and rambly (just like I talk in real life too).

Reflection:

I think it was almost two years ago, when I first discovered I’m a furry. I won’t delve into the details too much in public, but I will say that it at the same time I realized I’m bisexual too. Since then, I had been exploring the community from a safe distance so to say, mostly interacting with furries on RP servers, and following certain artists (and also wanking way too often to yiff *cough cough*). Through RPs, certain kinds of artwork, and the then limited interactions with furries, I was able to explore my sexuality in ways I simply couldn’t in real life, figuring out what I’m into and what I’m not, what relationships would work out for me, ect. Eventually I also developed an interest in creating my own characters with their own personalities and backstories. This is how Fabrice began from a badly drawn sketch to the sexy nerdy twink (I at least think) he is today.

As you can see, I have created this account over a year ago, but until I got my ref sheet of Fabrice, I didn’t really use it much. Since then, I’ve been very active on FA, spending way too much time following artists and looking at cartoon animal booty :)

Usually with big groups or communities, I often feel out of place, either because I don’t share certain popular opinions or just because I don’t really gel with the people, but this fandom felt very welcoming to me! Everyone I’ve talked to have been super nice, and even in this short time, I’ve made some actual friends online. I feel very comfortable in this community, and I hope I will be part of it for a long time.

The future:

At the moment I have three characters, my main fursona, Fabrice Vendee, his girlfriend, Kaylee Flinzer (who will soon have her debut on my page. I’m still waiting for a piece to be finished since it represents their relationship perfectly), and the mysterious Glaceon, Cecilia. You can expect these characters to appear regularly. I got so many ideas for Fabrice and Kaylee, some romantic, some comedic, a lot of it just being porn, so I will be focusing on this cute couple for now. From what I’ve seen Cecilia has been pretty popular with you guys, so she will get some more art too.

Aside from these three, I also got ideas for several other character, including Fabrice’s artistic but also arrogant twin brother Victor, and a yet nameless trans female red deer with serve social anxiety. Additionally, I’d love to do some split commissions with a friend of mine. They’ve got some really cute characters, including two I have completely fallen for (Mila & Duca, my beloveds).

Also, and this is pretty big, I’ve picked up my pencil and started practicing drawing again after two years or so! The way to become a somewhat decent artist is still long, but so far, I’ve been really enjoying this journey. At the moment I’m focusing on figure drawing (and also tediously working through the 250 boxes challenge *sigh*), while making doodles on the side. Most of the artwork will still be commissioned from other artists, but you can expect the odd doodle or sketch from me appearing on this page. Making art will merely be a hobby of mine, and I’m not planning to make a living out of it (mostly because I’m still terrible at it). Still, I can imagine that I might do the occasional YCHs or adopts someday (not commissions, because I prefer to have full control over what I draw), but this is all, as we nicely say it in German, “Zukunftsmusik” (something that lies in the far future).

To cap this chapter off, I’d love to know what you’d love to see more of in terms of artwork & characters. I’d also like to mention that I’m always open for suggestions, split commissions, and gifted artwork, so feel free to reach out to me, if you want to do something with one of my characters.
(If you have something NSFW/fetishy with Fabrice and/or Kaylee in mind, please ask me in advance if I’d be ok with the content of the image. These two are my little darlings and I’d prefer not to see them in racist cub rape scat porn, thank you.)
