Rest in peace Scoot / tigreblanco (1983-2024)
General | Posted a year agoAs a lot of you already know, my partner Scott
tigreblanco passed away a few days ago.
I spent all of last year in recovery, stretching into this one. Things have been excruciatingly difficult. He was the reason I was able to hold on and keep going.
I will need to take time off to mourn, and reassess things for the future as an artist in this community.
Thank you for your support, and thank you to everyone who showed us love, shipped us, and made us fanart.
I love you Scott. I love you all.

Transformation Q&A + NEWS
General | Posted 2 years agoNEWS + ALL TF SPECTACULAR!
Lots of health issues. A lot of time spent in hospital. But I'm okay!
Updates on my condition and plans for 2024 coming Nov/Dec.
My TF work has been my most popular, so I'm doing an 'ALL TF SPECTACULAR!' while I'm in the hospital for a long stay.
During Weretober I will be posting TF! Also, November is "My Month"! Nov 1 2023 will be my 1st Furriversary! Nov 23 is my birthday! And Nov is when I first started making furry art! So during November I will be posting art that caters to my and tigreblanco 's interests~
TRANSFORMATION Q&A!
Feel free to ask additional questions bellow!
TF CONTENT
I like TF art:
4/5 - Mid score coming from a TF artist?!
Most TF art doesn't do much for me. It's either too realistic and uncanny valley (photomorphs) or too simple and silly (toons). I like some hyper-realistic and some hyper-stylized stuff, just not very much of it. A lot of TF art is objectively "ugly" as well. I don't mean that the art is bad, I mean it's a bit gross-looking or it's body-horror. If that's your thing that's cool, but I'm not a fan of something that looks like it would come out stillborn.
In my defense, I'm a professional artist... If I can't be picky with visuals what CAN I be picky with? BUT! Even the TF art I don't like is still very cool. I'm glad it exists.
I like TF stories:
4/5 - I haven't read a lot of stories yet. It's a different medium that provides a different type of detail and perspective, which is cool!
TF content I wish there was more of:
5/5 - I wish there was more long-format art and media centered around TF. I'd love more graphic novels and such. But most of all I wish there was more tasteful high-end stuff. Content that looks and feels like it was made for a more mature audience, with adult themes and a more realistic and serious tone.
We've barely scared the surface for video game potential! And I always wish for more skillfully made TF art of character designs and species I like.
Other ways I indulge in TF:
5/5 - Outside of making TF art, it's a mental thing for me. The thing that gives me the most ~tingles~ is imagining it. Wearing TF-y fursuit stuff is also pretty effective.
TF CREATIVITY
I am a TF artist:
5/5 - My goal is to become an Iconic TF artist. Perhaps, dare I say, one of the best.
I am a TF writer:
3/5 - I write scripts for potential comics, illustration series, and other forms of visual art.
But I don't think in words, so I'd have a hard time writing a short story or novel.
Sometimes I make up little scenarios and stories and recite them over voice chat during live drawing. I find it fun but they're done on the fly so it's quite difficult and they aren't very good.
I like to RP TF:
2/5 - I've never done it so I don't know. I don't really RP, but it doesn't sound terrible.
Other ways I'm creative with TF:
4/5 - I'm currently workshopping schematics for a TF fursuit.
For me to have a good transformation experience, putting on the suit should be done simply and easily. One suit with modular parts that fit into each other. That way nothing has to be taken off and break the immersion. I'm also working on ideas for partial suits and single pieces that look very TF-y. It's fun to come up with the designs and ways to build them.
PERSONAL TF
TF has been one of my interests for as long as I can remember:
1/5 - I've only been a furry for 11 months...
But I liked some TF stuff in childhood. I liked werebeasts but it's not something that took up a lot of real estate in my mind.
What got me to realize I'm into TF:
4.75/5 -
mf turned me into a furry AND got me into TF...I wish TF was possible in real life:
5/5 - I'd jump with joy.
If I could TF into anything it would be:
5/5 - A caracal version of myself.
If I couldn't TF into my ideal thing I would be okay with:
2/5 - I wouldn't HATE being another cat. Puma, Jaguar, Serval, Ocelot, Domestic Cat.
But none of these options would feel right. I would TF into almost any anthro-creature for funsies if it wasn't permanent.
If TF was possible, I'd want to try it regardless of how painful it would be:
3/5 - I'd probably try it once. But It would be way better if the experience was enjoyable rather than literal torture. TF is more about the journey than the destination after all.
If I could TF but never go back, I would do it:
3/5 - Hmm... I'd like to give it a test run first. Ideally, I could switch back and forth.
I probably would, but there's some hesitation...
The reason I would want to TF is:
5/5 - The experience, my identity, and feeling more at home in my body.
I think I would be more confident as a cat person. I would certainly enjoy enhanced animal senses, speed, agility, etc...
I daydream about TF:
5/5 - My brain plays little movies for me. Sometimes I turn them into comics.
I find TF sexually arousing:
5/5 - Yes. Although I'm not sure I would call myself a TF-main.
TF can't replace other stuff for me. It's apples and oranges.
SOCIAL TF
I share my TF interest with my real-life friends:
0/5 - I don't know many furries IRL.
I include TF in the bedroom:
4/5 - I do think about what it would be like to act out TF with a partner. I think I could have a good time as the TF-er, TF-ee, or even as a bystander. I'm curious about it both with and without props. But I'm still a "furry virgin" so I haven't tried anything yet.
I include TF in my romantic relationship:
4/5 - I think it would be nice if the other person was into it. As others have pointed out, if I'm going to be an 'Iconic TF Artist™ it would be weird for me to NOT be with a fellow TF lover. Especially as a creative person who likes to express themselves and their affection with art. It would be a shame not to get to use this part of my love language and let all that skill and inspiration go to waste.
Hell, I think it could be fun to work on TF projects together if our tastes matched up enough.
Even if our mutual love of TF doesn't get applied in bed, the little 'wink-wink nudge-nudge' inside joke/knowledge and understanding that personal and private side of your partner is great intimacy. When I look up at him, I'd like to know that what I see and what I picture is what he is and wants to be. That level of recognition and deep connection would be something special, and I've never had that.
If I had the power to TF one person I would choose:
5/5 - Myself. But if I was in a long-term relationship I might pick my partner if I thought it would bring him more happiness than me.
Other ways I participate in the TF community:
4/5 - I like to have discussions around it. When I find someone who I click with or who has similar tastes to myself, I'm very curious as to how their mind works and like to dive into personal specifics. I get a lot of insight into what's appealing about TF to others and that helps me create better art.
TF CHANGES[/b]
I have a favorite thing/species for TF:
3/5 - I can enjoy almost any species if the anthro-creature design is good. Even imaginary fantasy/sci-fi species, as long as it's naturalistic or tastefully designed. I AM partial to real and naturally colored mammals for TF specifically though.
Anthro TF:
5/5 - My favorite. Love anthros.
Animal TF (feral):
2/5 - I'm not into ferals typically. I find it to be TOO much of a transformation.
I like going from A->B->C, instead of going from A and jumping all the way to Z.
Monster TF:
2/5 - Largely depends on the monster.
Existing IP TF (Pokemon, Halo, etc.):
2/5 - Largely depends on the IP.
Latex/rubber TF:
0/5 - Not my thing personally.
Inanimate TF:
0/5 - Naw. Although I'm fascinated by people who want to be turned into statues and crumble away.
Size change TF:
2/5 - I like a bit of growth / filling out. But growing into a giant dragon or whatever isn't my thing. Same with shrinking down. It has to be moderate. At the end of the day, if the form is truly "anthro" it should be medium size.
Expansion/Muscle TF:
1/5 - I'm more into realistic and fitting proportions. If you're turning into a hippo then obviously you're going to get a big ass from that. But going from a thin petite woman, to like, an anthro-weasel with huge tits is weird to me. If you didn't have big tits to begin with, and the animal isn't known for tits either (like a cow or something), then I find it kinda random and ill-fitting.
Gender TF:
1/5 - It does nothing for me. I find it distracting most of the time. I prefer when the person already fits with what they're transforming into.
Form TF (feral to anthro, anthro to taur, etc.):
1/5 - Not really into ferals or taurs. Pretty much only into human-to-anthro. Reverse TF is kind of cool too if the original TF going to happen again.
Tail growth:
5/5 - Love a good tail! Tail bursts are one of the best parts for me.
Bodily covering growth (fur, feathers, scales, etc.):
5/5 - Of course!
I have a favorite body part for TF:
3/5 - The whole change is good, but the face is the best part for me. Love a cat nose!
If I had to pick a singular part to change I'd probably pick tail.
Other changes:
2/5 - Multi-breast is okay... I think if you're going to have multiple pairs they should all be the same size.
TF TRIGGERS[/b]
Magic TF (spell, curse, etc.):
5/5 - The best. Perfect for fantasy species.
Science TF (injection, machine, etc.):
5/5 - Perfect for sci-fi species.
Goo TF:
1/5 - Not my thing personally.
Suit TF:
1/ 5 - Not my thing personally.
Arrousal TF:
3/5 - Good when done tastefully.
Hypnosis TF:
1/5 - Not a big hypno guy. It's basically magic TF but with mind control so I don't love it.
Other TF triggers:
1/5 - I like to leave the door open but I'm mostly into organic TF caused by some unknown force.
TF PROCESS[/b]
Rapid TF:
3/5 - Not bad. The rapid nature of it can add to the shock factor, which can be nice.
Slow TF:
5/5 Oh yes! More time to showcase subtle changes. I love the details. Who doesn't love a slow burn? Savor the process~
Skin-peel/Body-horror TF:
0/5 - Not my thing personally.
Homogenous changes:
5/5 - Good for slow TF and realistic visuals.
Sucessive/Patchy changes:
5/5: Good for single-image art or short TF and cartoony visuals.
I have a favorite stage in the TF process:
2/5 - Not really because it's all good. Early-stage humanoid is good because you can still really recognize the person. Almost fully anthro is good because you get to see the cool end result. And mid-TF is the best for single-image artwork of course.
TF THEMES[/b]
Forced TF:
5/5 - The shock/surprise reactions are some of the best aspects of TF for me. Angry "fuck you for doing this to me you bastard!" is also pretty good. Even sad TF can be nice if the ending is happy.
Humiliation/embarrassment TF:
4/5 - I like it when it's done in a lighthearted and playful way, otherwise I feel bad.
Resisting/Struggling TF:
5/5 - LOVE THE STRUGGLE! I love the flushing, sweating, shaking, heavy breathing, and disheveling.
Consensual TF:
4/5 - It can be very cute, sexy, and sensual. It makes for good romantic stories.
Painful TF:
3/5 - I prefer discomfort over pain. However, when I imagine myself TF it's often painful.
Pleasurable TF:
4/5 - I love it when it's seductive and sensual. NOT a lot of that around.
Personality change TF:
2/5 - I like a nudge towards animal behavior. But largely speaking, I want the person to remain themselves.
Mind loss during TF:
1/5 - I don't like loss of sentience. I like it when animal instincts are strong and hard to combat. But that's about as far as I'll go.
Permanent TF:
4/5 - If the end result is good and it's a happy ending then why not? You're better off as an anthro-creature honestly!
Temporary TF:
5/5 - Werebeasts are one of my favorites because it's periodically forced TF. It's great for long-form stories because you can TF the characters over and over and have multiple transformation scenes.
Bondage during TF:
3/5 - It can be hot during forced TF. I'm not big into bondage so it has to be done with a light and tasteful hand to suit my preferences.
Clothes ripping during TF:
5/5 - I love clothing and costumes so I love clothed TF. The ripping adds a lot of drama. The beast is bursting through! And I love a tail burst and lil' peekaboo reveal.
Nude TF:
4/5 - Nudity isn't inherently sexual. Academic nudity can be very artistic and showcase all the natural and gorgeous details of the body. But you don't get climactic bursting out of clothes or any reveals, so it's a trade-off.
Group TF:
3/5 - Like sex, I prefer a more intimate setting.
If there are too many people transforming at the same time I find it too "busy". One TF-ee at a time is my favorite. I like to focus on the experience a character is having. It's intimate and personal and I can more easily put myself in their shoes.
Public TF:
5/5 - Yes. IN FRONT OF ME! But also in front of others because it's embarrassing and you get third-party reactions which adds to the emotion. Private TF is also very good and intimate.
Sex during TF:
3/5 - It can be quite good if executed right. Overall kind of busy visually and thematically.
Sex after TF:
4/5 - Sex after TF can be prime. Two people who are now sexy anthros and are hot, sweaty, and wearing torn clothing? Say no more.
Other themes:
5/5 - I like thinking about pre/post TF life. How TF characters would interact? How would that affect relationships and society at large? It's something I like exploring while writing comics. A world where TF exists is pretty interesting. There's so much you can do with it. But I like to keep the "lore" and magic/science system simple. I prefer to focus on character dynamics and emotions in my stories.
Gift Art Gallery - F List - Anonymous Questions - Update
General | Posted 2 years agoBecause of the small influx of gift art I've been getting and all the questions and messages. I've created an F-LIST[/b] specifically for my preferences for gift art, trades, collabs, etc... There are also fursona references and real-life pictures for TF. A full ref sheet is coming, and the page will be fully revised and finished once I upload it.
All gift art will be posted there for now. There IS more but I have to import, edit, or scan it and I'm very busy and kinda fucked up ngl...
My left arm is broken and my right arm is badly injured, among other things...
Regular posts, Commissions, etc... All coming back full swing in June... Please bear with me!
I've also created a CuriousCat[/b] account for those who wish to ask anonymous questions since I get them anyways from throw-away accounts with usernames like "123456ABC" OR people beating around the bush about certain topics and wasting both our time you COWARDS! I like this more than posting an FAQ since it feels like I'm actually talking to someone instead of just yelling into a megaphone.
I've already answered A LOT of questions. I'm going to leave it at a nice 69 for now and will probably answer questions in batches on Sundays. You can ask absolutely anything but I will not answer if I don't want to, and I will not answer on behalf of other people.
Thank you for the art! Thank you for all the support! Smoochie smoochie!

Q: What software do you use?
A: CSP, Aseprite, Live2D, Ps, Pr Pro, Ae, Ai. Other shit.
Q: What brushes & tools do you use?
A: Lots, depends on what I'm making. Sometimes it's custom-built.
Q: Are you a professional artist?
A: Yes, I have worked in different industries as an artist. I've never been much of a social media artist though.
Q: Did you go to art school?
A: Yes.
Q: How do you come up with your ideas?
A: It just happens, my brain is full of 'em.
ART TIPS
Let me preface this by saying art is subjective. These tips are only what I think will contribute to making a good picture by my own tastes, and only a specific type at that.
I plan on making a video on "How to make your artwork more erotic, interesting, creative, special, memorable, etc... Stay tuned."
-Back up from your work. Zoom out and look at it as a whole. Check how it reads frequently.
-Same with flipping your canvas. Flip it all the time. Have that shit as a keyboard shortcut.
-Before you start, you should decide how you want people to feel while looking at your piece. Not just the subject. "I'm going to draw a crocodile in a swamp" is probably not going to be very interesting to most people, no one will remember that...
-Offer something that photography doesn't.
-Once you have the fundamentals (anatomy, color, light) study composition and narrative illustration to step it up to the next level.
-Listen to music that fits what you're working on. Either thematically or emotionally.
-If you have art block you're probably overthinking it. Who cares, it's just a drawing mate... If you're really stuck it could mean you don't really wanna draw anything specific. Go get inspired or just make a decision.
-Just because it's 2D doesn't mean you should be thinking in 2D.
EXTRA ART QUESTIONS:
Q: Are commissions opened?
A: They are. I'm currently working on a price sheet. I want it to be fair for everyone so I'm taking my time.
Q: Do you have other creative hobbies?
A: I really enjoy video editing, but rarely get the opportunity to do so.
I also fuck around with coding and game asset creation. I've made animal mods for Stardew Valley. Pixel art is fun. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13189 , https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13151
Q: Who's your favorite artist? / What's your favorite art movement?
A: I like Caravaggio, Baglione, Rembrandt, de La Tour... (I'm a big fan of Chiaroscuro theory).
I also love expressionism. Here is some of my work ONE - TWO
Q: Why do you draw so much male/male gay?
A: I don't have a preference for gay porn, I'm in-part catering to my audience.
Q: Why don't you paint anymore?
A: I paint sometimes but it's tedious. I am very burned out from it because of work. I like a realistic 2D look more anyways.
Q: What type of genitalia / body type / creature / species do you prefer drawing?
Artistically, I'll draw anything that looks good / fits the scene. Variety is the spice of life.
Q: What did you do before furry art? Can I see your other work?
A: I've worked as an artist in different industries. Mostly under illustration studios and agencies. Some of these industries are very conservative or cater to minors. I would rather not cross the streams and burn those bridges.
Here's some in-person work I did pre-covid for a restaurant that is now closed. I did this type of work for about a year but this is the only one I hand painted instead of applying printed digital graphics. ONE - TWO - THREE
The biggest ones worked on were an IKEA and an 18-wheeler.
Q: Do you make a lot of money as an artist?
A: You certainly can. Like a lot of other professions, if you're good and you're either charismatic or smart you can make good money. There's a lot of financial potential in product design.
Q: Do you sell your stuff at cons?
A: I used to. I've never been to a furry con but I've been to pretty much every other type of con. If you're good at making fan art merch and keeping your fingers right on the pulse of what fandoms are popular that year, you can make serious bank. Nothing like making 10 grand in one weekend. I stopped because of COVID-19 and because I don't like anime / games / pop culture stuff nearly enough to justify it.
Q: What type of reaction are you trying to get out people from your work?
A: I don't expect people to nut from my art in most cases. My work is more like foreplay. I want it to be more inspirational and perhaps stick in people's minds. I try to make my work erotic, dramatic, dynamic, cinematic, and have a narrative to it. I'd rather the body of my work be more emotionally titillating than purely pornographic.
Q: Why do you make such labor-intensive shitposts?
A: Although I'm very passionate about art and take the craft seriously, I don't take myself very seriously.
FAQ 3 (Valentine GRAND FINALE) + Face Recovery Update
General | Posted 3 years agoGOT THE WIRES OUT OF MY MOUTH BABYYYYYYYYY!
I'm sorry I can't openly talk about the details of my injury as there's an ongoing investigation. The night I was assaulted I was trying to locate the cat cafe in my neighborhood. One of the cats has cancer and I wanted to help them raise funds for his treatment.
SO, to get some closure on this event, I'll finally be going there for their Valentine's day event! And for my first solid food in weeks, I'm going to destroy the most luscious and expensive steak I can get my paws on.
There's still swelling in the lower half of my face and neck. It's red and chonky. I have an even bigger crossbite now and my jaw pops when I open it! Hurray!
My face is healing, but honestly, my brain isn't doing so well... Not to brag BUT I used to be kinda smart. Now I feel like a smart person that's permanently inebriated. Before the head injury, I was working part-time on an integrated Master's of science. I was thinking of doing a career change from art as was very burned out and felt cognitively unchallenged. Ever since the injury however, my ability to do arithmetic has significantly declined. I know I need more time to heal but I'm worried I'll never be the same. I can't even remember how to calculate nuclear decay...
I was eventually supposed to be stationed in British Columbia for my final environmental Master's project because there's high potential for both Canadian terrestrial and marine studies. I wrote a lot of papers on BC wildfires and forestry management, so I'm pretty heartbroken It's going to take me even longer to get there or that I won't get to go at all. I should really focus on therapy and take time off.
THE LAST (non-art related) FAQ. NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN SO ITS A LONG ONE. TMI WARNING.
Some of these are "topics of conversation" rather than FAQs. I skipped over a lot of questions... Some of you are sick, sick creatures.
Q: What do you like about TF?
A: TF makes me feel a very special type of funny, it's hard to explain. There are lots of different facets to it that I like. I think I especially like the idea of being experimented on or something and going through a very dramatic body change.
I want to be fucking torn apart and put back together. I also like the idea of going beast mode and never speaking to anyone ever again.
Q: Why do you like doms / rough sex / non-con?
A: I thought about this for a while since so many dudes ask and are baffled by it (understandable). I think came to a reasonable explanation. The reason I like it is because I sometimes have violent urges. They are a primal part of me, but I obviously choose and want to be a non-violent person. So in my most intimate state (sex), I want to act out those urges in some way with someone I desire and am vulnerable with. I tend to want that violence to be directed toward me rather than outwards. Most likely because of my sexuality and the fact that I like some pain. I want someone I'm so comfortable with and trust so completely that I let him hurt me. I want him to take out his sexual aggression on me. I want both of us to be free to revel in our deep, dark, borderline horrific desires. It's quite the opposite of non-con truthfully. It's a fun way to express sorrow, anger, etc... I don't need it to that intensity in my life though. Just feeling overpowered does plenty enough. There's something very intimate about being at someone's mercy.
Q: Is sex an act of love for you?
A: Yes and no. I don't need to be "in love" to have sex with someone but I need to have some affection for them. What I need is attachment and safety. That's why I'll probably never fuck a stranger but could have a friend with benefits and even a hookup with the right friend. ("Won't you catch feelings though?"). It's possible, but so what? I'm not a teenager or a nutjob. I'm responsible for my own emotions and I can regulate them. Being rejected doesn't have to ruin a friendship or even complicate it. The opposite is true as well. Being told "I love you" doesn't scare me away, regardless of how I feel back.
Q: Can you describe what sex is like for you?
A: Imagine someone made you the best meal you've ever had but they're force-feeding it to you.
Q: Would you rather fuck an anthro or be an anthro?
A: I finna TF IRL... Plus I find humans fuckable already.
Q: How has your sex life changed now that you're a furry?
A: "THE TAIL STAYS ON DURING SEX!"... It hasn't changed yet.
Q: "Can you explain why you don't just go get sex if you want some as a girl? Especially as a non-traditional person. It's kind of frustrating to hear since it's way more difficult for me as a guy but I do genuinely want to understand girls better. I'm socially and emotionally stupid but I find you approachable and relatable thank you."
A: Sure, I could get laid easily yeah... But I wouldn't enjoy it. So what's the point of putting myself at actual risk? It's the same reason I don't buy gas-station sushi even though I fucking love sushi and it might actually be good. I have standards for sure. It's not because I want dudes to chase me or because of a moral code. Physical attraction just isn't enough. I need character and trust. It lowkey sucks but that's what it takes for it to be fun for me. If the world was a safer place then maybe I'd "loosen up" more. Guys have tried to pressure me into being more cool and fun, to stop being such a "woman" about it and just put out. I get it guys... I do. But it would be a lose-lose for me. I gotta look out for #1 and honestly... I don't owe you jackshit.
I'll fuck with pleasure but he's gotta be one heck of a mf and those are rare beasts.
Side note: I'm kind of a sub. If I want to enjoy my kink then I have to drop my hard-ass exterior and surrender. I have to put myself in his hands. It's difficult to be that vulnerable and give someone power over you. At least it is for me.
Q: Do you have a high libido?
A: I would describe myself as a one-man slut.
Q: Do you like foreplay / aftercare?
A: Foreplay is great. I'm learning that I enjoy sexual tension. I've never felt the need for aftercare personally but it's nice.
Q: What do you think about group play / poly / cuckold?
A: I don't think it's really my thing. No experience with it so I don't really know.
Q: BEST: Hole / Position / Sex Act?
A: I prefer vaginal. Anal is good too but it's high maintenance and I still need uh... training. I like getting it from behind.
I also like fellatio but don't have a lot of experience so I'm not good at them I don't think. Getting fingered if he's good at it is premium since I like getting felt up. I've also always wanted to jerk a guy off with an onahole.
Q: WORST: Hole / Position / Sex Act?
A: Can't cum from cunnilingus so I don't care much about it. I'd rather have my tits fucked tbh. I'm also not really interested in pegging. Sex positions where the dick puts a lot of pressure around the pubic symphysis aren't as good imo.
Q: Sensitive spots?
A: Neck, ears, being grabbed by the waist / hips / small of the back. Also the right type of ASMR shit TFs me into a fucking puddle apparently.
Q: Got any good bedroom stories?
A: I don't kiss and tell, but I went into a relationship with a millionaire unknowingly. I also went on a date with a pro linebacker. Living in the 6 was crazy.
Q: Describe the perfect sex.
A: I would like to be fucked with power and enthusiasm.
Q: What are some things outside of sex that get you going?
A: Embarrassing dumb girl shit. I love being driven around while sitting in the passenger seat. Certain displays of athleticism and strength. A good voice. Playfighting.
Q: Do you moan or curse?
A: I moan, I curse, I pant, I beg, I scream.
Q: Outside of TF, do you have any other "furry fetishes"?
A: Not really. I dig monsters and robots tho.
Q: Oh so you don't care about dick size? Liar...
A: I care about the thrust way more than the dick. I like steady powerful thrusts from someone bigger than I am so that I feel the impact and the pleasure radiating throughout my body. Think force > hardness in physics.
Q: Do you want doms exclusively? / Are you purely sub?
A: I don't need a pure dom but I def need the dom experience sometimes. No, I'm not purely a sub. Vanilla sex is lovely.
Q: Do you like ropes or restraints?
A: I'm not sure. I think I'd rather be pinned or restrained with just body weight and strength alone. I like the physical pressure, and it's more personal. I've never been choked before but I don't think I'd like it.
Q: What types and levels of pain do you enjoy?
A: Not sure what my limits are. But I like biting, scratching, being pressed into, grabbed, pulled and pushed roughly. Spanking is good. I like getting my hair pulled.
Q: What type of sub are you?
A: Ya'll like BDSM huh... I don't even really know. I'm not into the culture. I don't think I'm into the master/slave or owner/pet thing, but being called a "good girl" is nice. On the flip side, I've also been called a bratty sub before because sometimes I fight back. I need to be put in my place so to speak. I can enjoy pain but don't enjoy humiliation.
Q: Do you like sextoys?
A: I like toys artistically, especially furry-leaning ones, they're really cool and unique. But I don't use or need much. I use a Hitachi and a soft silicone 5 incher... That's about it. ("Why so small and soft?"). If you think 5 inches is small then you watch too much porn lol. Because it's more realistic and it feels better?
Q: How long has it been since the last time?
A: I might be painting a picture of myself as some sexed-up fiend but I'm really not. It's been like two years. I was in a long-term relationship with someone who became very ill and couldn't be physical anymore. So I went without for like a year and a half until we broke up like 6+ months ago.
Q: What's your love language?
A: Acts of service.
Q: Are you the jealous type?
A: No. I draw porn and I'm pansexual. I don't feel threatened by other people's hotness. Also, it would be very hypocritical of me since 8/10 of my closest friends are straight males.
Q: What's your attachment style?
A: I'd say it's healthy and secure. I have friends I haven't seen in 4 years. When we finally reunite nothing has changed between us and it feels like we just saw each other yesterday.
Q: Your art is very passionate and romantic, what are your views on romance?
A: My understanding of romanticism artistically doesn't come from personal experience.
Romance is primorial, but rarely have I felt it in a "romantic relationship". Perhaps all the pressure and artificiality brought on by the expectations of heteronormative love cramps my style. It's not that I don't want romance, it's that I'd rather none than "doing it because holywood and Jesus told me to" type of romance.
Q: How do you feel about singlehood?
A: If you're not happy single you will struggle harder in relationships. If you're capable of being on your own healthily, then you'll make better choices when picking a partner. Someone who will be a truly positive addition to your life and contribute to your happiness, instead of just whatever you can get your hands on. People are more afraid of what being single means about them than actually being single. The wrong kind of company is far lonelier than solitude. Learned that the hard way.
Q: What do you think about marriage?
A: Too much of a cultural fixation on it. Getting married probably shouldn't be your goal in life. Also, fuck the wedding industry. Why would you spend 15k on one event and 8k on a metal loop with shiny rocks on it? Why do women attribute their worth and love to a piece of jewelry? I'd rather receive a fucking bigmac than an expensive wedding ring. Buy something actually useful instead that you can both use, like a bigass TV or a month-long vacation.
Q: What's the craziest thing you've done for love?
A: Move to another country I guess. I don't see it as a big deal personally since I'm used to it.
Q: What are you like as a partner?
A: I've been told I don't give the standard ~girlfriend experience~.
I would describe myself as supportive, caring, and non-controlling. Not sure why people feel the need to mold their lives and personhood around their relationships so much. If you really love someone why are you trying to cage them? I think I give the experience of a very close friend + skinship. I'm not trying to become your third parent or take up all your free time like an attention vampire. My relationships are important to me, but they're not the center of my life.
Q: What are you afraid of when it comes to love stuff?
A: Being cheated on IF WE AGREED we would be exclusive. It's not even an ego thing, it's a trust thing. It would be a betrayal and ruin the friendship. If you're going to fuck others then just tell me first coward. I'm afraid of STDs.
Q: Describe the perfect date.
A: I understand the question, but I really dislike "dating". Going on a date with a stranger is like taking an ice bath to me. It's uncomfortable, it's cold, and I wanna gtfo of there.
Q: How are you with commitment?
A: It's easy for me. I'm naturally loyal. It can take me a while to fully warm up to people but once I get there the bond is really strong and it's for life.
Q: What's your red flag / sign to end things?
A: When being open, honest, and vulnerable with the other person inflames the situation and makes things worse. It's very damaging when it should be having the opposite effect.
Q: What do you look for in a partner? / What are the most attractive qualities to you?
A: I can't really quantify what it is... Someone I like, with the same relationship style and style of investment. I'm willing to put in effort but the right kind of effort for the right reasons. I want individuality, intelligence, and competence. Personality is (almost) everything. And I love me a gnarly smile and handsome laugh.
Q: What do you want your romantic relationship to be like?
I already answered this, but a lot of people didn't really get my analogy... Here are the basics.
Fun. To me, a fun person is a balance of chill and exciting. I also want the fun of sex.
Respect. I want BOTH our standards and boundaries to be respected. We're on the same team, not rivals.
Trust. I want full trust and comfort so we can be open, honest, vulnerable, and lean on each other.
Peace. I want the peace of being single to carry over into the relationship, with the added peacefulness from the safety of being with a man.
Q: What's been your biggest problem in romantic relationships?
A: The people I've dated have always had a pre-written narrative about how our relationship and our lives should be that just didn't gel with me. I don't enjoy living someone else's badly written mental screenplay. So many people come into a relationship without curiosity... They come in with a conclusion. The relationships I've been in have not been a very positive addition to my life for all kinds of reasons. They have cost me way more than I've gotten out of them. I take my fair share of the blame for that.
Q: Do you think the guy should pay for everything?
A: I'm not a sex worker? In this economy? What year is it? For real, the last thing I want is for a guy to feel used. I hate feeling used. I try to practice what I preach and I'm a team player baby!
Q: What are your thoughts on long-distance relationships?
A: Generally, I don't like the way young people do LDRs. It's very clingy and melodramatic. I like the way my divorced aunts, uncles, and friends' parents do it. It's relaxed. They go about their lives like normal and see each other on weekends or whatever. I guess it takes high maturity, independence, and self-security. I've been in a few LDRs since I move around. I'm theoretically fine with being in one but I don't want to be forced to spend two hours on the phone every single night catching up. I'm not making myself available online 24/7 either. It's weird not getting enough time for yourself when you're not even actually together.
Q: Got any dating advice?
A: I'm not one to be analytical and strategic about it. The best way to get what you want is by "deserving" it. The world doesn't care about what you want, it only cares about what you have to offer. If you can become a person that can give people their needs and desires, then you become valuable. AKA: Stop chasing, start attracting.
Q: What's more important to you? Chemistry or compatibility?
A: Chemistry for sex, compatibility for relationship. Both and it's golden.
Q: Are you a Deredere, Tsundere, Yandere, Kuudere, Dandere...?
A: Nice weeb question. I'm a Deredere but I have Tsundere tendencies. I like lightly bullying my friends, that's how we show a lot of our affection.
Q: Do you want a family?
A: I'm big on "chosen family". I'm missing the companionship I once had since all my close friends are leaving my area. I had already been craving the return of that aspect of life for years since I keep moving around. I hate to admit that I'm lonely, but they really were my family. We used to sleep in a literal hamster pile during road trips for christ's sake! As for children, no.
Q: What's your type?
A: I've dated all kinds. I like individuals. But I guess I like what I would call "macs-nerd". Like heavy-metal dudes, or guys who are really into fantasy football. It's hot and endearing.
Q: What media do you think implanted furry-ness into you?
A: The main one is Pitfall the Mayan Adventure.
Pitfall TMA is my favorite game of all time. My parents were very strict when I was little and I wasn't allowed non-educational video games EXCEPT Pitfall TMA (PC - 1994). I'm not sure what their logic was, but because it was the only real game I owned until I was 11 I was extremely molded by it. I also REALLY identified with the main character.
One of the hardest boss in the game is a jaguar that TFs into a big anthro jaguar warrior man. There's a really cool animation where he dazes you and slices you to actual pieces in one fell swoop. I guess it explains my fascination with TF, big cats, and my desire to be torn apart.
Q: Got any furry crushes?
A: I had the deepest crush on this anthro crocodile from this French kid's cartoon when I was very young. It was so INTENSE and made me feel so many feelings that I cut myself off from the show in order to preserve my sanity as a child. I was also fascinated with the impeccably animated head rotation of Shere Khan from The Jungle Book. I thought it was because I was really into art already, but let's be honest... It might have also been something else...
Q: Who's the streamer that turned you into a furry?
A: @notscotthenson Good man, great tiger.
Q: Who's your favorite pro wrestler?
A: Wow! I wonder why people are asking me this... Hmmm, well like I said, my favorite game is Pitfall TMA so it's gotta be Pitfall Jones RIGHT?! 😼
Q: What type of friend are you?
A: I'm the eldest child in my family so I like to protect and take care of my friends. I'm the responsible one in the group. I'm very supportive, love to help out, and hype when my friends start a project or their own business. I have to admit, sometimes I'm kind of lame because I don't want to learn the dumb card game or participate in the activity. I'm happy with just being around and watching over my people. I'm not "the face" of my friend group but I'm the main pillar.
Q: Which person are you at the party?
A: I'm the one who brought ALL the food and helped clean. AKA the nice, thoughtful, and considerate one lol.
Q: Were you born in a female body?
A: :)
Q: Do you consider yourself attractive?
A: Not really. I think I look okay... I don't think I have an attractive demeanor. I don't really know how to be "sexy".
Q: What makes you happy?
A: Doing the things I love. Good company.
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: Big surprise! I'm passionate about visual art. It really is part of who I am. I love to think about principles of design, visual composition, and narrative illustration. I like to pull techniques from other disciplines and apply them to my work. I've also taught small classes and hosted panels before.
Q: What's the most fun you've had this year so far?
The last time I hung out with my buddies, we were chilling in the garage and started to try to physically hurt each other with pool noodles and inflatable animals. It got really stupid out of hand. I also got fully yeeted into the snow. It's simple but I guess I'm easily amused.
Q: What's something small in your life you wish you'd change?
A: I want to be more touchy-feely with people. I love it when we're watching a movie and someone put their leg on me. MORE HUGS! I have a warm embrace! Pat me on the back. Let me hold your arm when we cross the street or walk through a big crowd.
Q: Are you positive or cynical? / Are you confident?
A: I generally have a positive attitude, I enjoy life. I'm quietly confident, I think I'm capable and I believe in my abilities.
Q: Were you popular in school?
A: I'm chill so I got along with most groups but I wouldn't say I was popular. I was raised by a strict and snooty French woman so I was never in the know about the hottest fads and latest obsessions. This somewhat carried into adulthood. I don't care about social media very much. I barely watch youtube. I was popular in college because I was top of the class and always in a good mood.
Q: How did you come up with your sona?
A: Process of elimination I guess. I thought I was going to pick something aquatic since I would live in water if I could and I love seafood, but nothing felt right. Then I saw a Caracal somewhere and thought "yep, there it is...". I'm kind of surprised. I don't even love them in particular. It's the one thing that doesn't feel wrong.
Q: If you could have one body part from your sona, what would you pick?
A: As a furry, I'd love a tail because, well... I don't have one? After that the feet, then the hands.
Q: Describe your lifestyle.
A: I enjoy nice and finer things but in a minimalistic way. I live alone and I hate it, I want good housemates. I travel too much to have pets unless my roomba counts.
Q: Are you religious? / What way you do lean politically?
A: I had no concept of religion until I was 10+ years old, so no. Take a WILD fucking guess at which way the artist/scientist leans politically.
Q: Were you in denial as a furry?
A: No. I'm an open person and I was already a "weirdo". I just didn't know. It was inaccessible data in my brain. In my defense, the vast majority of furry art and fursuits aren't appealing to me. Took me a while to be exposed to what I like. Can't wait to contribute more to it.
Q: Do you have any other talents besides artsy stuff?
A: I'm a diver so I'm a great swimmer and I can hold my breath for a long time. I can bake and cook decent too.
Q: What other skill do you wish you had?
A: I'm always tempted to learn base guitar and join a band. I wanna strum, tap and slap. I also wish I was better at Javascript and C#.
Q: What type of media / music / genres do you enjoy?
A: Whatever's good. I gotta say, I don't like horror. I'm jumpy.
Q: Do you dance or sing to the music you like?
A: That's cute. I Dance, poorly! I like it when other people sing though. I'll be your shitty backup dancer.
Q: Coffee or tea? / Booze or weed? / Day or night? / Cats or dogs? / Friends or Seinfeld?
A: Coffee in the morning (Black espresso), tea in the evening (Actual tea leaves).
/ Neither, being drunk or high is a dull experience for me, I get tipsy off half a drink anyways. / Night. / You serious? / Seinfeld no contest.
Q: What places have you lived in?
A: Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, random places in Ontario, Seattle, Pittsburgh area (I still go to Appalachia a lot for science work stuff), and I lived in France with my relatives for a little bit.
Q: What are your dreams and aspirations?
A: I've achieved a lot of my goals already. I kind of needed a change of pace (read intro). I'm not worried about any goals right now. I'm just being as easygoing as possible and doing whatever I want.
Q: What happens if I see you at a furry con?
A: If you're small I'm picking you up and spinning you around. If you're big I want you to hug me so hard I crack in half like a glowstick.
Q: Is there anything you ACTUALLY want people to know?
A: I want to work with people in the community. I want art trades, collabs, commissions, and whatever other projects and things I can help out with!
Thanks everyone! It's been fun but shut up now so I can turn back into an art machine.
I love you all very much you sick nosy freaks.
FAQ 1 FAQ 2
I'm sorry I can't openly talk about the details of my injury as there's an ongoing investigation. The night I was assaulted I was trying to locate the cat cafe in my neighborhood. One of the cats has cancer and I wanted to help them raise funds for his treatment.
SO, to get some closure on this event, I'll finally be going there for their Valentine's day event! And for my first solid food in weeks, I'm going to destroy the most luscious and expensive steak I can get my paws on.
There's still swelling in the lower half of my face and neck. It's red and chonky. I have an even bigger crossbite now and my jaw pops when I open it! Hurray!
My face is healing, but honestly, my brain isn't doing so well... Not to brag BUT I used to be kinda smart. Now I feel like a smart person that's permanently inebriated. Before the head injury, I was working part-time on an integrated Master's of science. I was thinking of doing a career change from art as was very burned out and felt cognitively unchallenged. Ever since the injury however, my ability to do arithmetic has significantly declined. I know I need more time to heal but I'm worried I'll never be the same. I can't even remember how to calculate nuclear decay...
I was eventually supposed to be stationed in British Columbia for my final environmental Master's project because there's high potential for both Canadian terrestrial and marine studies. I wrote a lot of papers on BC wildfires and forestry management, so I'm pretty heartbroken It's going to take me even longer to get there or that I won't get to go at all. I should really focus on therapy and take time off.
THE LAST (non-art related) FAQ. NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN SO ITS A LONG ONE. TMI WARNING.
Some of these are "topics of conversation" rather than FAQs. I skipped over a lot of questions... Some of you are sick, sick creatures.
Q: What do you like about TF?
A: TF makes me feel a very special type of funny, it's hard to explain. There are lots of different facets to it that I like. I think I especially like the idea of being experimented on or something and going through a very dramatic body change.
I want to be fucking torn apart and put back together. I also like the idea of going beast mode and never speaking to anyone ever again.
Q: Why do you like doms / rough sex / non-con?
A: I thought about this for a while since so many dudes ask and are baffled by it (understandable). I think came to a reasonable explanation. The reason I like it is because I sometimes have violent urges. They are a primal part of me, but I obviously choose and want to be a non-violent person. So in my most intimate state (sex), I want to act out those urges in some way with someone I desire and am vulnerable with. I tend to want that violence to be directed toward me rather than outwards. Most likely because of my sexuality and the fact that I like some pain. I want someone I'm so comfortable with and trust so completely that I let him hurt me. I want him to take out his sexual aggression on me. I want both of us to be free to revel in our deep, dark, borderline horrific desires. It's quite the opposite of non-con truthfully. It's a fun way to express sorrow, anger, etc... I don't need it to that intensity in my life though. Just feeling overpowered does plenty enough. There's something very intimate about being at someone's mercy.
Q: Is sex an act of love for you?
A: Yes and no. I don't need to be "in love" to have sex with someone but I need to have some affection for them. What I need is attachment and safety. That's why I'll probably never fuck a stranger but could have a friend with benefits and even a hookup with the right friend. ("Won't you catch feelings though?"). It's possible, but so what? I'm not a teenager or a nutjob. I'm responsible for my own emotions and I can regulate them. Being rejected doesn't have to ruin a friendship or even complicate it. The opposite is true as well. Being told "I love you" doesn't scare me away, regardless of how I feel back.
Q: Can you describe what sex is like for you?
A: Imagine someone made you the best meal you've ever had but they're force-feeding it to you.
Q: Would you rather fuck an anthro or be an anthro?
A: I finna TF IRL... Plus I find humans fuckable already.
Q: How has your sex life changed now that you're a furry?
A: "THE TAIL STAYS ON DURING SEX!"... It hasn't changed yet.
Q: "Can you explain why you don't just go get sex if you want some as a girl? Especially as a non-traditional person. It's kind of frustrating to hear since it's way more difficult for me as a guy but I do genuinely want to understand girls better. I'm socially and emotionally stupid but I find you approachable and relatable thank you."
A: Sure, I could get laid easily yeah... But I wouldn't enjoy it. So what's the point of putting myself at actual risk? It's the same reason I don't buy gas-station sushi even though I fucking love sushi and it might actually be good. I have standards for sure. It's not because I want dudes to chase me or because of a moral code. Physical attraction just isn't enough. I need character and trust. It lowkey sucks but that's what it takes for it to be fun for me. If the world was a safer place then maybe I'd "loosen up" more. Guys have tried to pressure me into being more cool and fun, to stop being such a "woman" about it and just put out. I get it guys... I do. But it would be a lose-lose for me. I gotta look out for #1 and honestly... I don't owe you jackshit.
I'll fuck with pleasure but he's gotta be one heck of a mf and those are rare beasts.
Side note: I'm kind of a sub. If I want to enjoy my kink then I have to drop my hard-ass exterior and surrender. I have to put myself in his hands. It's difficult to be that vulnerable and give someone power over you. At least it is for me.
Q: Do you have a high libido?
A: I would describe myself as a one-man slut.
Q: Do you like foreplay / aftercare?
A: Foreplay is great. I'm learning that I enjoy sexual tension. I've never felt the need for aftercare personally but it's nice.
Q: What do you think about group play / poly / cuckold?
A: I don't think it's really my thing. No experience with it so I don't really know.
Q: BEST: Hole / Position / Sex Act?
A: I prefer vaginal. Anal is good too but it's high maintenance and I still need uh... training. I like getting it from behind.
I also like fellatio but don't have a lot of experience so I'm not good at them I don't think. Getting fingered if he's good at it is premium since I like getting felt up. I've also always wanted to jerk a guy off with an onahole.
Q: WORST: Hole / Position / Sex Act?
A: Can't cum from cunnilingus so I don't care much about it. I'd rather have my tits fucked tbh. I'm also not really interested in pegging. Sex positions where the dick puts a lot of pressure around the pubic symphysis aren't as good imo.
Q: Sensitive spots?
A: Neck, ears, being grabbed by the waist / hips / small of the back. Also the right type of ASMR shit TFs me into a fucking puddle apparently.
Q: Got any good bedroom stories?
A: I don't kiss and tell, but I went into a relationship with a millionaire unknowingly. I also went on a date with a pro linebacker. Living in the 6 was crazy.
Q: Describe the perfect sex.
A: I would like to be fucked with power and enthusiasm.
Q: What are some things outside of sex that get you going?
A: Embarrassing dumb girl shit. I love being driven around while sitting in the passenger seat. Certain displays of athleticism and strength. A good voice. Playfighting.
Q: Do you moan or curse?
A: I moan, I curse, I pant, I beg, I scream.
Q: Outside of TF, do you have any other "furry fetishes"?
A: Not really. I dig monsters and robots tho.
Q: Oh so you don't care about dick size? Liar...
A: I care about the thrust way more than the dick. I like steady powerful thrusts from someone bigger than I am so that I feel the impact and the pleasure radiating throughout my body. Think force > hardness in physics.
Q: Do you want doms exclusively? / Are you purely sub?
A: I don't need a pure dom but I def need the dom experience sometimes. No, I'm not purely a sub. Vanilla sex is lovely.
Q: Do you like ropes or restraints?
A: I'm not sure. I think I'd rather be pinned or restrained with just body weight and strength alone. I like the physical pressure, and it's more personal. I've never been choked before but I don't think I'd like it.
Q: What types and levels of pain do you enjoy?
A: Not sure what my limits are. But I like biting, scratching, being pressed into, grabbed, pulled and pushed roughly. Spanking is good. I like getting my hair pulled.
Q: What type of sub are you?
A: Ya'll like BDSM huh... I don't even really know. I'm not into the culture. I don't think I'm into the master/slave or owner/pet thing, but being called a "good girl" is nice. On the flip side, I've also been called a bratty sub before because sometimes I fight back. I need to be put in my place so to speak. I can enjoy pain but don't enjoy humiliation.
Q: Do you like sextoys?
A: I like toys artistically, especially furry-leaning ones, they're really cool and unique. But I don't use or need much. I use a Hitachi and a soft silicone 5 incher... That's about it. ("Why so small and soft?"). If you think 5 inches is small then you watch too much porn lol. Because it's more realistic and it feels better?
Q: How long has it been since the last time?
A: I might be painting a picture of myself as some sexed-up fiend but I'm really not. It's been like two years. I was in a long-term relationship with someone who became very ill and couldn't be physical anymore. So I went without for like a year and a half until we broke up like 6+ months ago.

Why would you spend 15k on one event and 8k on a metal loop with shiny rocks on it? Why do women attribute their worth and love to a piece of jewelry?

Q: What's the craziest thing you've done for love?

Q: What's your red flag / sign to end things?
A: When being open, honest, and vulnerable with the other person inflames the situation and makes things worse. It's very damaging when it should be having the opposite effect.
Q: What do you look for in a partner? / What are the most attractive qualities to you?
A: I can't really quantify what it is... Someone I like, with the same relationship style and style of investment. I'm willing to put in effort but the right kind of effort for the right reasons. I want individuality, intelligence, and competence. Personality is (almost) everything. And I love me a gnarly smile and handsome laugh.
Q: What do you want your romantic relationship to be like?
I already answered this, but a lot of people didn't really get my analogy... Here are the basics.
Fun. To me, a fun person is a balance of chill and exciting. I also want the fun of sex.
Respect. I want BOTH our standards and boundaries to be respected. We're on the same team, not rivals.
Trust. I want full trust and comfort so we can be open, honest, vulnerable, and lean on each other.
Peace. I want the peace of being single to carry over into the relationship, with the added peacefulness from the safety of being with a man.
Q: What's been your biggest problem in romantic relationships?
A: The people I've dated have always had a pre-written narrative about how our relationship and our lives should be that just didn't gel with me. I don't enjoy living someone else's badly written mental screenplay. So many people come into a relationship without curiosity... They come in with a conclusion. The relationships I've been in have not been a very positive addition to my life for all kinds of reasons. They have cost me way more than I've gotten out of them. I take my fair share of the blame for that.
Q: Do you think the guy should pay for everything?
A: I'm not a sex worker? In this economy? What year is it? For real, the last thing I want is for a guy to feel used. I hate feeling used. I try to practice what I preach and I'm a team player baby!
Q: What are your thoughts on long-distance relationships?
A: Generally, I don't like the way young people do LDRs. It's very clingy and melodramatic. I like the way my divorced aunts, uncles, and friends' parents do it. It's relaxed. They go about their lives like normal and see each other on weekends or whatever. I guess it takes high maturity, independence, and self-security. I've been in a few LDRs since I move around. I'm theoretically fine with being in one but I don't want to be forced to spend two hours on the phone every single night catching up. I'm not making myself available online 24/7 either. It's weird not getting enough time for yourself when you're not even actually together.
Q: Got any dating advice?
A: I'm not one to be analytical and strategic about it. The best way to get what you want is by "deserving" it. The world doesn't care about what you want, it only cares about what you have to offer. If you can become a person that can give people their needs and desires, then you become valuable. AKA: Stop chasing, start attracting.
Q: What's more important to you? Chemistry or compatibility?
A: Chemistry for sex, compatibility for relationship. Both and it's golden.
Q: Are you a Deredere, Tsundere, Yandere, Kuudere, Dandere...?
A: Nice weeb question. I'm a Deredere but I have Tsundere tendencies. I like lightly bullying my friends, that's how we show a lot of our affection.
Q: Do you want a family?
A: I'm big on "chosen family". I'm missing the companionship I once had since all my close friends are leaving my area. I had already been craving the return of that aspect of life for years since I keep moving around. I hate to admit that I'm lonely, but they really were my family. We used to sleep in a literal hamster pile during road trips for christ's sake! As for children, no.
Q: What's your type?
A: I've dated all kinds. I like individuals. But I guess I like what I would call "macs-nerd". Like heavy-metal dudes, or guys who are really into fantasy football. It's hot and endearing.
Q: What media do you think implanted furry-ness into you?
A: The main one is Pitfall the Mayan Adventure.
Pitfall TMA is my favorite game of all time. My parents were very strict when I was little and I wasn't allowed non-educational video games EXCEPT Pitfall TMA (PC - 1994). I'm not sure what their logic was, but because it was the only real game I owned until I was 11 I was extremely molded by it. I also REALLY identified with the main character.
One of the hardest boss in the game is a jaguar that TFs into a big anthro jaguar warrior man. There's a really cool animation where he dazes you and slices you to actual pieces in one fell swoop. I guess it explains my fascination with TF, big cats, and my desire to be torn apart.
Q: Got any furry crushes?
A: I had the deepest crush on this anthro crocodile from this French kid's cartoon when I was very young. It was so INTENSE and made me feel so many feelings that I cut myself off from the show in order to preserve my sanity as a child. I was also fascinated with the impeccably animated head rotation of Shere Khan from The Jungle Book. I thought it was because I was really into art already, but let's be honest... It might have also been something else...
Q: Who's the streamer that turned you into a furry?
A: @notscotthenson Good man, great tiger.
Q: Who's your favorite pro wrestler?
A: Wow! I wonder why people are asking me this... Hmmm, well like I said, my favorite game is Pitfall TMA so it's gotta be Pitfall Jones RIGHT?! 😼
Q: What type of friend are you?
A: I'm the eldest child in my family so I like to protect and take care of my friends. I'm the responsible one in the group. I'm very supportive, love to help out, and hype when my friends start a project or their own business. I have to admit, sometimes I'm kind of lame because I don't want to learn the dumb card game or participate in the activity. I'm happy with just being around and watching over my people. I'm not "the face" of my friend group but I'm the main pillar.
Q: Which person are you at the party?
A: I'm the one who brought ALL the food and helped clean. AKA the nice, thoughtful, and considerate one lol.
Q: Were you born in a female body?
A: :)
Q: Do you consider yourself attractive?
A: Not really. I think I look okay... I don't think I have an attractive demeanor. I don't really know how to be "sexy".
Q: What makes you happy?
A: Doing the things I love. Good company.
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: Big surprise! I'm passionate about visual art. It really is part of who I am. I love to think about principles of design, visual composition, and narrative illustration. I like to pull techniques from other disciplines and apply them to my work. I've also taught small classes and hosted panels before.
Q: What's the most fun you've had this year so far?
The last time I hung out with my buddies, we were chilling in the garage and started to try to physically hurt each other with pool noodles and inflatable animals. It got really stupid out of hand. I also got fully yeeted into the snow. It's simple but I guess I'm easily amused.
Q: What's something small in your life you wish you'd change?
A: I want to be more touchy-feely with people. I love it when we're watching a movie and someone put their leg on me. MORE HUGS! I have a warm embrace! Pat me on the back. Let me hold your arm when we cross the street or walk through a big crowd.
Q: Are you positive or cynical? / Are you confident?
A: I generally have a positive attitude, I enjoy life. I'm quietly confident, I think I'm capable and I believe in my abilities.
Q: Were you popular in school?
A: I'm chill so I got along with most groups but I wouldn't say I was popular. I was raised by a strict and snooty French woman so I was never in the know about the hottest fads and latest obsessions. This somewhat carried into adulthood. I don't care about social media very much. I barely watch youtube. I was popular in college because I was top of the class and always in a good mood.
Q: How did you come up with your sona?
A: Process of elimination I guess. I thought I was going to pick something aquatic since I would live in water if I could and I love seafood, but nothing felt right. Then I saw a Caracal somewhere and thought "yep, there it is...". I'm kind of surprised. I don't even love them in particular. It's the one thing that doesn't feel wrong.
Q: If you could have one body part from your sona, what would you pick?
A: As a furry, I'd love a tail because, well... I don't have one? After that the feet, then the hands.
Q: Describe your lifestyle.
A: I enjoy nice and finer things but in a minimalistic way. I live alone and I hate it, I want good housemates. I travel too much to have pets unless my roomba counts.
Q: Are you religious? / What way you do lean politically?
A: I had no concept of religion until I was 10+ years old, so no. Take a WILD fucking guess at which way the artist/scientist leans politically.
Q: Were you in denial as a furry?
A: No. I'm an open person and I was already a "weirdo". I just didn't know. It was inaccessible data in my brain. In my defense, the vast majority of furry art and fursuits aren't appealing to me. Took me a while to be exposed to what I like. Can't wait to contribute more to it.
Q: Do you have any other talents besides artsy stuff?
A: I'm a diver so I'm a great swimmer and I can hold my breath for a long time. I can bake and cook decent too.
Q: What other skill do you wish you had?
A: I'm always tempted to learn base guitar and join a band. I wanna strum, tap and slap. I also wish I was better at Javascript and C#.
Q: What type of media / music / genres do you enjoy?
A: Whatever's good. I gotta say, I don't like horror. I'm jumpy.
Q: Do you dance or sing to the music you like?
A: That's cute. I Dance, poorly! I like it when other people sing though. I'll be your shitty backup dancer.
Q: Coffee or tea? / Booze or weed? / Day or night? / Cats or dogs? / Friends or Seinfeld?
A: Coffee in the morning (Black espresso), tea in the evening (Actual tea leaves).
/ Neither, being drunk or high is a dull experience for me, I get tipsy off half a drink anyways. / Night. / You serious? / Seinfeld no contest.
Q: What places have you lived in?
A: Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, random places in Ontario, Seattle, Pittsburgh area (I still go to Appalachia a lot for science work stuff), and I lived in France with my relatives for a little bit.
Q: What are your dreams and aspirations?
A: I've achieved a lot of my goals already. I kind of needed a change of pace (read intro). I'm not worried about any goals right now. I'm just being as easygoing as possible and doing whatever I want.
Q: What happens if I see you at a furry con?
A: If you're small I'm picking you up and spinning you around. If you're big I want you to hug me so hard I crack in half like a glowstick.
Q: Is there anything you ACTUALLY want people to know?
A: I want to work with people in the community. I want art trades, collabs, commissions, and whatever other projects and things I can help out with!
Thanks everyone! It's been fun but shut up now so I can turn back into an art machine.
I love you all very much you sick nosy freaks.
FAQ 1 FAQ 2
FAQ 2 (Y'all are nasty).
General | Posted 3 years agoThis is my last FAQ for a while... Y'all are savage and nasty. Especially Reddit.
Thank you to ALL the people who pointed out to me after my face reveal that I'm built like a milk truck. I guess I walked into that one.
My back is fine, no need for any concern...
I'm trying to come out of my shell and get over my dumb baby shyness so I'll answer more FAQs.
I am not used to attention at all. I'm not a big social media person and get much more out of working "behind the camera" rather than being in the spotlight. I will make an art/commission related TOS next month at the earliest.
Q: Can I have nudes? / Do you have a bf? I want a furry artist/cat gf.
A: What? The free artwork isn't enough?! Bro just enjoy the drawings. Sheeeeeeesh, so greedy.
And I might put out, but ONLY if you're cute, can growl real nice, can kick my ass, and can make me laugh so hard I literally start to pee my pants.
Q: How has your life changed since joining the fandom? / What's your opinion on furries and the community so far?
A: Way more social media. Telegram has been lovely and I would like to use it more. New friends! More Horny.
My opinion is very pawsitive :)
Q: Where are you from?
A: The most common question by far.
I'm from southern Ontario but would like to gtfo and live somewhere near a coastline so I can do more free-diving and deep-diving. I've lived in other provinces and countries as well.
Q: What are you like in person?
A: Introverted, easygoing, cool-headed, open-minded, low-maintenance. I would say I'm more "good" than "nice". Maybe Chaotic Good?
Q: What are you looking for in relationships? Romantic or otherwise.
A: Besides the obvious things like mutual respect and trust, I would say I'd want a feeling akin to when you first move out of your parent's place but you're still in the same city. You have support if you want it and someone on your team, but they're not all up in your business questioning or nagging you constantly.
Q: What's the sexlife of a NSFW artist like?
A: Do you think I'd be drawing this much porn if I was getting laid?
Q: Do you like ferals?
A: I'm not really into ferals. I like mayo on my sandwich but I don't eat it as a meal straight from the jar, know what I mean?
Q: What species are you the most into?
A: My taste is pretty varied, it's more about the individual character and how it's drawn. Broad strokes though, anything stereotypically masc is pretty good.
Jaguars/Leopards/Tigers, Crocodilians, Sharks, Bulls, Bears, etc...
Q: What's your sexuality?
A: I like every gender sexually, but to my great embarrassment I'm straight romantically.
Dom in the streets, sub in the sheets, bottom for guys, and top for girls (she might be gay-retired though).
Q: What's your favorite body type?
A: I like most body types for different reasons. I can't say I like them TOO chonky though.
Q: Do your friends and family know you're a furry/NSFW artist?
A: My family's cool, they know I draw NSFW but they don't know I'm a furry. My friend know everything and roast me real good about it.
Q: How do you like to spend your free time?
A: I have lots of interests but really I just wanna hang out with the homies and shoot the shit. I love running errands with my friends.
Let's snag coffee, go to Costco, and stop by the post office on the way. Travel is great as well.
Q: Do you ever plan on getting a fursuit?
A: I am leaning towards no for now. I am eager to get a tail and some gloves or something though. Let's start with that.
PHEW. That's enough talking about myself for now. Thank you for all the support and get-well messages.
And to the few people who have told me I'm one of their favorite artists... I actually cried.

FAQ 1 FAQ 3
FAQ 1 + Face Reveal
General | Posted 3 years agoThank you for ALL the DMs everyone!
I'm very touched and flattered by the warm welcome I have received from this community and all the interest that has been shown toward me and my work. I decided to make a FAQ for some common questions. It's pretty embarrassing, but I guess it comes with the NSFW artist territory.
Here is a picture of me taken before my recent face injury.
I saw people do this on Twitter today so I thought I'd join in.
Q: How did you figure out you were a furry?
A: I was watching a stream hosted by other furries and used my new high-quality headphones for the first time. One of the hosts did a low growl that triggered my ASMR and shot through me and straight down my panties. I don't think I blushed that hard in my entire life. Everything clicked in from there. After that, I Jumped in with both feet.
Q: Explain your fursona.
A: I'm just a Caracal... An obscure, kinda weird, medium-sized cat.
It's very plain but I like natural colors.
Q: What's your ultimate fantasy?
A: I don't really know about ultimate... But I'd like to start with getting full nelson-ed by a tol n stronk dude 🤪
Q: Do you jerk off to your own stuff?
A: Almost never, it's more of a way to vent and explore.
Q: What are your kinks / Preferences?
A: Dom, TF, Biting, Pinning/Manhandling, Tall/Size difference, Uniform/Armor.
Q: What's your favorite body part?
A: Masc: Face, Jawline, Nose, Hands/Forearms, Chest, Neck.
Fem: Ass, tiddie, face, lips, hips, thighs.
Q: Do you go to furry cons?
