*growf!*

Happy Friday all! I hope the week wasn't too weird without a Tuesday Paw-Post. Felt weird on my end - you know that sort of feeling you get when routine is changed - you keep feeling like you're supposed to be doing something, but aren't. Was a weird week in general for me, in fact. I booked the week off work - the first multi-day time off I've booked purely for myself in 3 years. Yet... before it even started, 2 days got claimed when my mother needed more help with unpacking at her new apartment. I don't mind though - glad to help out. The one thing that did bother me about the week was the weather! All winter long, we've had a surprisingly quiet, warm winter. There's been almost no snow...... until this week. The temperatures dropped, and in came the lake-effect snow, RIGHT over London, and only London ( http://www.lfpress.com/2016/02/11/e.....uron-and-perth ). Lake-effect snow is a weird thing we get off the Great Lakes here, and can happen with there's a northwest or south wind. So today, for example, I woke up to about 20cm (8") of snow to deal with. Yuck. And was out shovelling 3 more times before the damn thing had finally moved on. So... with snow on the days prior and this now, way too much of my time off has been spent shovelling snow! And before anyone suggests it - no I can't get a snow-blower; a) I have no garage or shed to put it in, and b) I have a gravel driveway, so it would be like buck shot to the neighbours. XD

Anyway! Enough of that, let's get on with the Post! This and quite likely all posts will now be a bit larger since they're going to contain more content, so with multiple links, I'll try to keep commentary simple to keep things moving. That said, here we go...


TC's Random Music Pick

Black Sabbath "Supertzar" (1975) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zdtJ-4-yhk

Released on the Sabotage album just 4 months after I was born (so.... a long time ago), Supertzar was an interesting example of music that Black Sabbath is actually less known for. Their awesome heavy metal and powerful rock is well known, but on many of their albums, they had these short transition type songs that were more instrumental, and man... some of them are pretty damn good, like this one. Powerful, beautiful, and ever-rising in tone and intensity, it's a strange yet perfect blend of electric guitars and classical vocals. In their non-metal/rock music, this one really stands out as unique to me. Also, on a total sidenote, young Ozzy (far right) looks pretty damn hot in a kimono: http://images.popmatters.com/blog_a.....75-650x400.jpg Right? :3

Most Pawesome Picture

by  SayUncle - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19018025/ (C3: nsfw, m)

Most-Pawesome was tricky again because there were quite a few pictures where I really liked the paws on them, but this lovely idea edged them out on the premise that this sexy gator may well be offering up that nice sole. Very unique idea for the image too - a digital/virtual adventure - or perhaps a future version of what Skype will be like (good lord, and we think we use it a lot now!). This is a really, really cool take on an alligator character, and I LOVE the footpaw. A big, meaty and attractively looking C3 type paw that has the webbing between those nice toes. The pose of the foot also works very well for any paw-lover in that it would make it a clear offering, while for any non-paw-lover, the picture would have that as more of a way of exposing him - so works for all crowds. I'm gonna go with him offering that nice foot up though... yum.


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19012213/ (C4: nsfw, m/f)

Well then... nice toes reaching over and doing ANYTHING would distract me while I was reading, but that in particular.... yeah, that'd be hard to ignore. *laughs*


Bloodoodles:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19046115/ (C3/C4: nsfw, f)

Bloo herself sitting on a glass table..... and... that's about all she's wearing too! Lovely view of pretty much everything here, especially her big soft canine paws.


Vallhund:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19059945/ (C4: nsfw, m/m, TCO!)

Two beauties from Ms. Vallhund. The first is a fun play on Princess Leia's infamous slave outfit, except worn by the colourful canine Phantom. The dance would have been fun to watch, but man, lifting up the footpaw to show off some brightly coloured sole pad like that... oi... wow. Second pic is a lovely mating pic of Kato and Lwhekk. Really awesome expression work, particularly on Kato, nice lighting and great poses. Of course, the paws are amazing as well - right down to the nice toe-splay Kato's doing.


Teaselbone:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19021448/ (C3: sfw, m)

Soooo... I'm sure it was TOTAL chance that Teaselbrain ended up on that lovely large (and growing) female's big foot.... right? Biggest coincidence ever. Yup. Awesome shading work on these piece, and a love the pose of the that big footpaw - toes arched up just a bit to offer up a nice peek. And we get a cute look at Teasel's feet too, at that. :) In the second pic, we got an Imp who's developed some mysterious blotches (I'm going with Teasel-cooties). Offers up a nice sole view while wondering what Teasel did to him.

Coco the bandioot showing off some very nice wrinkly, shapely soles.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Goddess-589664042 (C1: nsfw, f)

Lots of goodies from Zack here. First his big dragon Ty and his huge, wide and ventral-scale-plated soles. Second we have a tiger lady who has someone ended up knocked out by the most unlikely boxing opponents. I.... have no idea how, but... nice sole view! Lastly, GOOD GODs.... or... goddess rather; Abriika (who was a past Character Highlight: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7284035/ ) has become a goddess, and holy moly she had me at "My feet will be your undoing..." Okay! <3 No argument from me. :3

Awww... Taomon having a nice rainy-day nap with Beerus. Nice wiggling toes aplenty in this, with a very nice wrinkly sole view of Beerus. And Mama Sprite! Yep, that's Sprite's Mum, and what a great look at that finely aged and detailed sole of hers. THAT right there is one of the finest, if not the finest, two-toed foot you'll ever see. :)


Rooc (aka. Fly):

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19016283/ (C4: sfw, m, po)

Oh wow - two gloriously large and detailed footpaw closeups! First one is of Cosonostro, and is one of those rare times you get to see long, thin toes and a nice thick sole pad. That style of foot just isn't that common. Second one is of Zarith's canine paws, and those look fantastic! Big pads and toes, and unique to see a darker fur for the sole than the usual lighter tone in most colour schemes.


EccentricChimera:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19022382/ (C4: nsfw, m/m, micro... macro?)

EC's got his big sole aimed at little Drax, who looks a bit surprised at seeing it. Cute pose, and a pretty unique perspective.


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19034232/ (C4: sfw, m/m)

Kenvy surprising the very unique looking Inq with a breakfast-in-bed-birthday-cake! Jeeze... waking up to cake... that is pretty amazing. XD Very adorable and charming picture, and it of course offers up cute paw-views of both of them. Each has their charms - Kenvy's are nice deep pads with lots of extra fur, and Inq's are huge pads on scaled footpaws. The angle of Inq's right foot in particular is SOOOOOO nice. <3


LigerJazz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19055343/ (C3: sfw, m/m, macro)

A wee little knight gets one hell of an amazing view between the unique and gorgeous soles of Ether3al.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19039235/ (C4: nsfw, m/f)

First one has a very handsome fox just resting in the sun. Really gorgeous cell-shading here, and he's got great footpaws. Second one is a more detailed full shaded picture of a male/female canine couple butt-mating. We do see most of the female's footpaw in it, so decided it was worth including. :P


SabertoothedErmine:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19055435/ (C4: nsfw, f, dakimakura)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19072930/ (C4: nsfw, m, dakimakura)

A dakimakura (body pillow) dual image of Kibeth, the kitsune fox. Oi... okay first off, the shibari is beautiful. Done right, shibari is just incredible at accenting the beauty of a character, and Ermine is SO good at it. But in the second image... those paws... wow! Gorgeously detailed and very soft looking pads. I think most of use would be sleeping with that end of the pillow at our faces. XD AND, another one of Foxdragon's multi-tailed character, who is flaunting those cute pink-padded paws around in both top and bottom images.


DoggyDog:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19056900/ (C3: sfw, m/m, micro)

Pyron (somehow very tiny) is learning first hand that DD's soles are some of the softest around (he has a certificate to prove it, apparently). Pyron doesn't seem to appreciate how how lucky he is though. ;) Great view of both of DoggyDog's soles, and a really nice profile to show the nice arch he's got too.


DJ-Rodney:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19031971/ (C3: sfw-ish, m/m/m, macro)

Fatimist looks to have caught a couple new toys! Lucky Rod gets to be between those big meaty soles too.


Flynx-Flink:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19058062/ (C4: nsfw, f)

This is Dakota - lovely canine lady offering up her big, shapely toes... well okay, offering up other things BUT possibly the toes too. Very nicely drawn as always from Flynx. :)


Skye:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19058170/ (C4: sfw, m)

It's a Loki!!! Choosing one odd but adorable pose to show off those cute little paws of his. :) Skye is so cute cute cute poses. ^_^


AeonAngelus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19058352/ (C4: sfw, m, po)

DOREY!! A fine example of why it's sometimes hard to choose "Most Pawesome" - 'cause Dorey-feets are always amazing. :3 Here we see our resident scientist floof dragon sporting some very cool looking boots that oh so conveniently still show off most of his footpaws. I love how big, soft and welcoming the pads look in Aeon's style - very befitting of their sweet and generous owner. :)


Sidian:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19060293/ (C4: sfw-ish, f/f)

I... think it's f/f anyway. Cute and playful little wrestling tussle between these two ladies - nice canine paw up in the air during it.


Muzz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19068748/ (C4: sfw-ish, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19068801/ (C4: nsfw, m)

A couple nice sketches form Muzz - one cute wolf guy in a reclined pose, the other is a leopard male who's apparently pregnant. <_< Hey, it's the 21st century... it could happen.


Shiuk:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1...../leave-them-on (C5: nsfw, m)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19069391/

Mouse-feets! A unique take on the foot of a mouse character that definitely goes into C5 territory, and puts on a lot of nice meaty padding to them.


AggroBadger:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....pt3-commission (C4: sfw, m/m)

Feline dude of some sort getting carried after passing out - very nicely drawn footpaws on him.


Nommz:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....drunken-stroll (C3: sfw, m/m)

Two portly guys strolling along - one is a foxcat hybrid, the other some sort of raccoon hybrid. Really great worms-eye-view of the walk, and the paws are gorgeous. The Raccoon guy's is particularly unique looking. :)


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Table-Top-589329756 (C1: sfw, f, art-human)

Rounding up the posts (and starting with keeping anything human at the bottom of the list), this is Restif's siren "Katerina", who has very tiny feet and always looks like she's up to something devious. Nonetheless, she does have very perfect feet and this is a unique sort of pose that offers a bit of a peek at her soles as well as a look at the toes.


Character (re)Highlight: ShadowWolf!

(TC) Shadow was one of the first/original character highlights, back with the format was a lot different and less detailed. I thought it was well past time to ask the charming shape-shifting wolf if he'd like to get a chance to do one again, and he was delighted! ShadowWolf has also been a HUGE help with many Paw-Posts as well, often pointing out some pictures I might have missed, as well as contributing great ideas and feedback, or even helping with my very poor French for translations when it came to a highlight I had to do in French. XD He's such a sweet guy, and one very attractive werewolf. So have a read and learn all about this unique shape-shifter and his ultra-sexy footpaws:

Character Summary/History:
Shadow Wolf is a black werewolf with bi-colored paw-pads. He is a werewolf but he has never been human unlike a lot of other werewolves. He was born from two feral wolves but he never had the chance to meet his parents. He isn't born with those strange paw-pads color though, when he was younger and when he was still clumsy with his shapeshifting skills, a transformation went wrong and he fainted. When he woke up, his paw-pads had changed color permanently.

Also like most of the werewolves, he his allergic to silver. But, the reaction is pretty unique since he will grow female parts when he will touch silver. It's still better than being badly wounded by silver after all!

As for his personality, his is exactly the same as me! He his friendly, crazy, a little naughty sometimes too ! His personality reflects mine! :)

He does really loves paws (I guess that's a little obvious hehe ^_^) and his paws are really sensitive!

Commenting on Images:
I really love when people commenting on my new pictures! Most of the time, when I post a picture and then coming back a moment later to check FA, I'm like "Yaaayyy comments !!" When I see the little "C" on my FA page XD Although I don't really like creepy, annoying and negative comments. I really don't mind people being naughty in comments as long as it's not too much! :)


Some Q&A:

(TC) Hiya Shadow - and thanks for being willing to do this again, and properly this time! What does it feel like to come back around to getting highlighted again - weird, good - surprising? :P

(Shadow) Hello there! :3 Well I must say that I'm really happy to do that "highlight" once more I did it a long time ago, now it's more an "enhanced highlight" hehe :) Anyway, thank you very much for thinking about me once more for that. ^.^

(TC) I think your background origin story is really unique - no human history, and certainly a very strange allergy to silver. I would think you were told to avoid silver when young - how did you accidentally first come in contact with it and discover is very unique affect?

(Shadow) Thank you very much hehe ! And yeah... That strange allergy... Nobody never actually told me that I had to avoid silver when I was young, the first thing made with silver I found is my pendant. That's also the first time I touched silver back then! I found it in the forest, on the ground, I liked the symbol on it so I thought I could keep it for me! But... well, when I took it and touched it, a very strange thing happened to me for the very first time. I was pretty scared when that happened, I thought the pendant was cursed, I thought I was cursed because of it! But a few hours after that, I realized that it was just temporary. I also realized later that it was not because of the pendant, but because of the silver! I don't really know why, but I decided to keep that pendant despite of what it could do to me!

(TC) When you come in contact with Silver, does the development of female parts hurt? How long does it usually last?

(Shadow) That specific place doesn't hurt, although the inside of my belly hurts, I guess it's because a lot of things are happening inside of me. And most of the time, it we last a day, and only if I do not have any sexual relation during the "herm" state. And yes, I can be pregnant as well, and if that happens, I will keep the female parts for more or less 9 months until... well... you know!

(TC) So... the change will basically stick around longer if the female parts are "in use" in some way?

(Shadow) *Nods* That's correct, it is why I always try to be really careful when that happens! Things can happen real fast in this kind of situation...

(TC) Think that's the longest I've gone in the Q&A before getting to paws! So, that said, let's focus on those unique soles of yours. You explained above that the bi-colour was a result of a botched early transformation. Is it just the colour that's difference, or are their other subtle differences as well - texture, sensitivity, scent - anything?

(Shadow) Hehe, a lot of people are curious about that strange allergic reaction! And about my paw-pads! Well, the beige ones are slightly smoother than the black ones and perhaps slightly more sensitive as well... but my paws have always been very sensitive anyway hehe... A lot of people are thinking that my pads smell like black and white chocolate... it's funny but it's not true unfortunately! They have a normal paws scent I will say!

(TC) *chuckles* Well chocolate would be nice, but so is a "normal scent for those (like me) who enjoy it. :P And you said you like paws yourself - can you explain (or try to) what it is that you like about paws in others?

(Shadow) I thought a lot about that question, and I finally have the answer! :D Or... Or not, I still have no idea why I like paws so much I just like them! Maybe someday I'll understand!

(TC) Heh - took me years to learn how to explain what/why/how I like them! You'll figure it out. Do you have a favourite type of footpaw? How about least favourite? :P

(Shadow) Yes I do! Digitigrade and animal-like ones (C4/C5) are my favorites! And the more human-like they are, the less I will like them. I don't really know why but I hate human feet, I really found that ugly, I can't really explain why though!

(TC) *shrugs* Personal taste I guess - though even when you do like them (like I do) I only like like less than 5% of them - they really have to be exceptional. Anyway, what about your own feet - they're incredibly attractive to others, but do you find them attractive/arousing as well?

(Shadow) Well... Ahem, I guess I find them attractive and arousing a little bit as well hehe! But I would prefer having someone else in this kind of situation! I like my paws of course but that's not exactly the same thing of having the one of someone else to take care!

(TC) What's your favourite thing to do with another fur who loves paws?

(Shadow) Oh well... A lot of things and sometimes, just looking at them is fine! But when I can, touching them, licking them and... well, somethings a bit more naughty as well! :3

(TC) Okay... back to non-paw stuff, heh, is shape-shifting a skill that takes a lot of concentration and energy?

(Shadow) Yes, more than a lot of people could think! The bigger the specie I will turn into is, the more exhausted I will be after the transformation. I could turn into Godzilla if I want! But then I will be stuck as Godzilla without even being able to move for hours, maybe even days!

(TC) *laughs!* Well that would be awkward! That said, ever have a shape shift work out wrong or totally different than you planned?

(Shadow) Well yes, the one that turned most of my paw-pads beige for example! And it's not rare for me to woke up in the morning changed into something else without really know why! When I'm dreaming, I don't really control my shape-shifting skills, and if for example I dream I am a dragon, well... I will probably end up as a dragon in the morning!

As something totally different, yes, something like that happened to me. I tried to turn a friend into a female, (because yes, after having sexual relation with someone, I can more or less change that someone into whatever I want!) but the thing is, I had forgotten he was immune to any kind of magic... so instead of changing him into a female, I changed myself into a female and temporary lost the control of shape-shifting during a few days.

(TC) Besides your normal anthro-wolf form, do you have a particular favourite that you like transforming into?

(Shadow) Mhh... Not really! But I do like dragon form and horse form as well! And I will lie if I tell you that I don't like to change gender as well time to time hehe :3

(TC) And another silver question; recently we saw in a picture that Silver also made you develop breasts. Do you think prolonged exposure would have even more female results? Or could it even risk permanently changing you?

(Shadow) Well, I also recently realized that a prolonged exposure to silver could give me breasts yes... I don't know if spending more time exposed to silver would have even more female results but I'm pretty sure if by any way I was having silver in my blood (example : a silver bullet), this could lead to a permanent sex change I'm afraid...

(TC) You are, I must say, SUCH a nice and helpful guy. When you look for others to share time with (intimately or otherwise) do you look for similar qualities or other ones in that person?

(Shadow) Awww, well thank you very much ^.^ That's so kind of you :3 Oh you know, I don't really share time with people for their quality, what really matters is what they are inside! Even though, I must say that it's always nice to meet nice people like you TC for example! :)

(TC) Awww! Thank you. ^_^ Alright - last question, the usual, would you like to say anything to all the folks reading the Paw-Post?

(Shadow) They really should keep reading it! :D And share it to friends around them! Paws are awesome! Yay! :D

Amen to that! I always forget to mention that too - yes, please sure the Paw-Post with anyone you think might be interested! Tell them they can either watch the journals on FA or Weasyl, or can PM me their e-mail if they want to be added to the e-mail version of the list. Thank you to ShadowWolf for answering all those questions and being willing to flaunt his cute peets for another highlight. Go have a look at his gallery and say hi - he is a super nice guy, and very easy to talk to. ^_^ Have a good Friday everyone, and see you in a week!

TC
