So pride month is fast approaching, and I'm looking to add to my collection of pride-colored designs! I have a few bi-colored designs, but nothing with the nonbinary colors yet.

I'm looking for:
-designs with bi pride or nonbinary pride colors (design doesn't have to be labeled/intended to be a pride design, as long as it matches the color scheme pretty well I'll be happy)
-animal designs (either feral or anthro, can also be fantasy or one-off designs)
-preferably premade designs, but I might consider customs
-has marking shapes that look "natural" (for example, tiger stripes or leopard spots rather than hearts)

I'm NOT looking for:
-Closed species/ARPG type designs
-Humans/humanoid/anime
-A design that's just the flag color stripes/gradients and no other markings
-Preferably nothing that's too chibi/cartoony-looking, but I'm willing to look past that for the right design

I would prefer to trade art or designs, but will can offer cash via paypal for the right design. I have designs available here, here, and here. I'm also willing to do custom designs!

For some visual examples of the kind of designs I like, check out my current collection.

Thanks for looking!

Hey all!

I had a blast making my most recent piece, and I'd like to do more. For now, I'm only opening one slot at a time since I will be moving at an indefinite point in the next few months and things might go haywire. A slot is available for $25 USD via Paypal. If you want two characters, it'd be $35. The finished piece would look similar to this - it will feature a headshot of your character. They will be surrounded by stars and nebulas (colors/mood of your choosing), will fade into the background and have stars within them like a constellation. They can be exhaling stars and/or nebulas if you'd like, though I don't want to draw any exhaling a void like in the image below, since that ties in a lot symbolically with my personal character. I'll draw any animal - feral preferred but anthro is fine as well!

If you're interested, please send me a note and we can work out details! Expected turnaround time is 2-3 weeks (but might take me less) - if anything comes up and it'll take longer, I'll send you wips and keep you updated.

Just a reminder that my dA is my main gallery:

Hope to see you there!

Taking this opportunity to announce my side account,  ikraeha. It's all personal art featuring this character, maybe with a few others tossed in every now and then. I'll explore some mature/dark stuff on that account, along with more general stuff, but everything on there will be personal, possible vent-ish art. If you like deer, you'll probably like that account. If not...you're out of luck on that one.

I've gotten some questions from people asking me how I made my yarn tails. I've only made two so far, so my method may not be perfect, but it seems to work just fine. My method's a combination of two tutorials I found + what felt right. I figured I'd post this for any who are interested in trying their hand at it. It's pretty easy and fun. I've found a new hobby to do while watching tv.

I used these two tutorials as inspiration:

-First, gather supplies. You need yarn, a slicker brush (http://www.jemarpet.com/images/Slicker%20TC.jpg), and scissors.

-Cut three lengths of yarn a few inches longer than you want the tail to be. These will be the base. Tie a knot at the top and then braid the length of the yarn, tying a knot at the bottom too. Then, take the top and make a loop and tie it, so that you have a loop to feed a belt through.

-Tie another knot at the bottom. Make sure it's thick enough that the yarn you tie around the base won't slide off.

-Next, take the yarn and wrap it around your palm ten times. Cut it off with the scissors. These pieces will be the fur.

-Take two segments of yarn, hold them together (as though they were one unit) and tie them so they are centered around the base. Just one knot is enough.

-Repeat this with the remaining segments of yarn. Turn the tail ¼ turn each time so that the yarn is spaced out evenly.

-Unravel all the yarn.

-Take the slicker brush and brush out the yarn out in sections until it looks like fur and there are no clumps. A lot of fuzz will come off on the brush. This is normal. Then when you are done, brush the fur in the direction you want it to go.

-Repeat these steps until you reach the top of the tail. Then you're done! Feel free to change colors as you go and experiment with patterns.
