*growf*

Happy Friday! Yes, that glorious day that marks weekend'eve. XD So... question about Paw-Post content: Do you guys find the posting of folks who are "Open for Commissions" or YCHs useful? And what other things do you think might be useful to include in these posts?

Besides being a nice source of my top paw-picture picks, I'd really like to try and make this publication as all-round useful for folks as possible. So just kind of putting it out there as to what you guys might think are some other useful ideas for the publication. Pro-footpaw artist lists? Polls? Short stories or whatever? Let's here some ideas!


Open for Commissions

Gonna simplify my posting of these unless I have specific information on them that needs to be conveyed. Just read the link for information on them. :)

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17631885/ (C3: nsfw, m/m)

Artist: Huskeeburn21

Characters:
Darkershadeofblu - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/darkershadeofblu
Quenny-Derpdragon - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/quenny-derpdragon

Why: Because this is just all about the feet. :) These two attractive dragon are just basking in each other's footpaw - nuzzling, admiring, tasting and sniffing at each other's sexy toes and soles while enjoying the arousal and pleasure it brings them. I like how much they both look into it, and how even their other feet are kinda up against each other's members, but really it seems an after-thought to the action going on at their snouts. And a big thank-you to ImagineKarma for pointing this one out to me!


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17639682/ (C4: sfw, f, TCO!)

Hahaha! So cute. Just a cute, innocent picture that depicts an interesting point about Cari - she's not into paws herself, and like most non-paw-lovers, is at a loss to see what others see in paws! Cute way to show it. :)


Ekbellatrix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17627255/ (C4: nsfw, m)

Zelminax's character offering up some big, plush looking paws for your appreciation. :)


Oselloti:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1...../fun-with-boys (C3: nsfw, m/m/m)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....6/in-the-cabin (C3: nsfw, m/m/m)

Both pictures are a similar theme of boys having fun with other boys. :P The first picture in particular offers up a really amazing footpaw scene though with the one male holding the other's huge footpaw, which such big meaty and wonderful looking pads. In the second picture, we get a nice look at the Panda's soles, though they are much less the focus of the image.


BlackChaos666:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17650015/ (C4: nsfw, m/m/m, charr!)

Because charr! Three of them! Hoi... that is one couch pike I would LOVE to be involved with. Three sexy charr males enjoying each other, and everyone showing off their big, amazing footpaws.


Shadowpelt:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17647397/ (C4: nsfw, f)

This is Volume, doing an early Halloween pose. Nice tasteful nude, and it so beautifully shows of her big, plush and lovely sole pads.


KampferWolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17652815/ (C3: sfw, m)

Badger! Wow, you do NOT see enough badgers in the fandom. :3 And they have such huge, lovely soles too!


3DiNoZ:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17641213/ (C4: nsfw, m/m/m)

I guess with a license plate like that, this was bound to happen. :P


RipRoarRex:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17652039/ (C5: sfw, m)

The crow character from Dumbo, given the nice RRRex plump and meaty sole treatment. Ranked it a C5 type foot as it's... well, not quite a C3 or classed by the more usual standards.


Teaselbone:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17638721/ (C3: nsfw, m)

Apparently Donamer has gotten his hands on one of Teasel's macrofication portal guns and has discovered a VERY handy use for it!


Muzz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17638174/ (C3: nsfw, m)

Krautimercedes' character showing off some very meaty looking soles after some naughty fun (or questionable use of a whip cream can).


Higsby:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17637703/ (C4: nsfw, m, macro)

Ollister taking a hunky break after rampaging through the city - paws up of course.


JC & Zilven:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17573400/ (C3: sfw-ish, m, macro)

DOH - I forgot to put this one in last time; thanks to Doran Eirok for the heads up on this. We have a macro EZWolf stomping about with an awesome worms-eye-view of the action. Lots of nice detail on the pads.

Character Summary (by Jinjing-Yu):
Not much to talk about here! My parents weren't very original, because they were Chinese crested dogs who also happened to actually be Chinese. So one day I was born, and my folks figured that Hawaii would be a nicer place for me or something. Psst, hey... they weren't wrong! I wonder where they are now, though, hmmm... Maybe I should look for them? A bit later? Maybe? ANYWYAY! About me, uhhhhh... There are things I like so much that I have no need to talk about them - I'm just glad they exist, and then there are things I dislike so much that I don't want to talk about them. So there you have it! ...Oh, alright, but just one thing of each: I like nice things, and I dislike things that aren't nice. Also my name means something like... "crystal clear rain", and that's cool, because rain is a VERY nice thing. Also my Chinese is close to non-existent but hey.

Commenting on Images (by Jinjing-Yu):
I like to know if I make you smile, but I don't like to know if I make you shudder. I like to know if you would give me bellyrubs, but I don't like to know what else you'd want to do with me. If you know what I mean! *poke nudge wink* No, srsly.


Some Q&A:

(TC) You certainly are good at finding a variety of teasing poses to show off those cute little paws. Do you enjoy being creative with using them to playfully pose and tease folks?

(Jinjing-Yu) Oh you know, my paws are just another tool in my box! But I do have tools that I like to use more than others... <w< Hurhurhur. *wiggles toes*

(TC) So... what do you think of footpaws anyway; are they something you're attracted to on others, or just something you like showing off?

(Jinjing-Yu) What, you're hoping to get an advantage over me or something? Hahaha! *tchai barges in* YES! YES, SHE LIKES PAWS, AND SHE LIKES WHEN- *tchai gets gagged and dragged away to some dark place* Um! That was one fat bird there!

(TC) You obviously know you have nice paws, but do you find your own to be attractive or even arousing?

(Jinjing-Yu) Weeelllll, I like them. I like the asymmetry of their patterns I guess, and I like to play with them, if that makes sense. I MEAN HAVE YOU EVER SQUEEZED MY PAWPADS THEY'RE LIKE THE SOFTEST AND SQUISHIEST THINGS EVER OMG and also it feels nice, no matter who does it. C:

(TC) What is your favourite thing(s) about footpaws?

(Jinjing-Yu) Imma go with softness. If present, that is. And I mean, like, both in the squishy-squishy way on the pads, and the skin's smoothness. The latter obvs doesn't apply to furry peoples, yeah? And the form is nice, usually. Oh wait, I think I'm talking too much again oops. YEAH PAWS ARE OKAY I GUESS *whistles inconspicuously*

(TC) So outside of paws, you certainly love to go around in the nude or pretty darn close! Were you always super-comfortable with your body and looks?

(Jinjing-Yu) Yeah, well, it's pretty normal in general around here. Nudity is no taboo for me, just as it wasn't for my parents. I don't get people who freak out over that, but luckily I only encounter them on this strange plane of existence known as the interwebs! And yeah, I know my looks are stupidly odd, and I like that. I used to maybe be a bit self-aware, but I've learned there are more important things than that in life. Like mangroves. Ever seen mangroves? Just awesome.

[tchainote: it is canon in my worlds that nudity is just as normal as wearing clothes is for us, so clothes are only worn as utilities, for when you're cold etc.]

(TC) You also have one very beautiful, contagious smile. What makes you so happy, and do you enjoy sharing that with others?

(Jinjing-Yu) Aww, thanks! Huh, never thought about that! I guess one reason to smile is that it makes others smile, and life is good when everybody smiles, no? So yeah, if I made you smile today, then my mission is complete, and I may return to my home planet. But I won't, because smiles run out eventually, and someone has to refill, so yeah. Imma stay. *serious face of duty*

(TC) Does she have any hobbies or favourite things she likes doing?

(Jinjing-Yu) My favorite hobby is giving you a puzzled slackjaw. Other than that, I could urbex forever. Also lay around doing nothing. And maybe - just maybe - I like drawing silly, flowy things in the mud. I guess I should demonstrate that one day! Guess what I'm using to draw, btw. <w<

(TC) What are some of the things you find most interesting and attractive in others?

(Jinjing-Yu) Unusual people. Just... peculiar personalities. Yeah, that's really it. Something odd about you? Cool, let's be friends forever! Also long, thick tails. <w< And I have one or two other weaknesses, but I'm not gonna mention them again. Myes.

(TC) Now that you have a chance to say something to many of your admirers - what message would you like to give them?

(Jinjing-Yu) Aloha, admirers! *hugs everyone* I was going to say something involving bellyrubs, but someone might think I have an unhealthy obsession - which I totally don't! Nuh-uh! So instead I'll just sit here and debate whether to say something quirky, or cheesy. Aaaand I can't decide. It's strange how you have all these ideas for world domination, but once you're actually in power, you just sit there and stare at that crack in the ceiling. Don't be selfish with the smiles I give you! There, I'm Swiss now.

And that's a wrap! Thank you VERY much to Tchai for being so awesome in getting all this answers despite a busy day of needing to render and release a new Anza comic (and you REALLY need to go read those if you aren't already). Very cool to have them all answered in-character! Have a good weekend everyone!

TC

Ugh... select portions of humanity never ceases to disgust me. I'm ashamed that this is happening in my own country too, at that. The government of British Columbia (one of Canada's provinces) has decided it needs to cull the wolf population in order to potentially better the chances of an endangered type of caribou. So petition:

https://www.change.org/p/save-b-c-wolves

First off... why? Nature has been taking care of predator/prey balance ratios LONG before humans ever showed up. Sometimes species go extinct - we kinda live on a planet where MOST of the species that ever lived are now gone. Sure - I can see putting laws in place to stop us from eliminating a species via over-hunting ('cause we're really stupid that way). But this has nothing to do with us.

Second - the method is horrifying. They get trained hunters/snipers to shoot the wolves from friggin' helicopters. Wolves are highly intelligent, highly social, thinking, feeling, emotional animals. What kind of insane, cruel trauma is that going to imprint on the survivors!?

Nature can sort out its own problems. If the wolves hunt the caribou to extinction, so be it - NOT the government's place to decide either of their fates. Please consider signing it, and please also consider spreading the word. If this gets enough public exposure, maybe the outrage will finally open the government's eyes about how insane this is. Thank you.

*growf*

Okay, going to try continuing with the Tuesday ones for now - got a nice early start on this one. :) I think I just have to really try and stay on top of starting the next Paw-Post as soon as the prior is finished.

THANK YOU all for such great feedback on the footpaw classification system! I've heard back both publicly and privately from a lot of folks, including artists, who agree it's a handy way to quickly know what to look for. At some point, I might broaden it to have sub-classes to further define the type of paw, but for now, I think we'll leave it as-is. I'll link to them in the Legend so that if we need to update them/expand them, then it's just a journal that's linked back to.

Okay, just before we get going, I have a cool link to share with ya from TwilightSaint - the Fursuiting Survival Guide:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16750734/

A friend of mine just got his first fursuit, and stumbling upon this today seemed like a great idea as there is a TON of stuff on there I'd never have thought of (as I don't have a suit). TwilightSaint has made it downloadable and is happy for anyone to share it around. So feel free to link it to any friends who have suits (or more so, those who are just getting into suiting). :)

Alright, that shared, on with the Paw-Post!

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17612338/ (C3, C4: nsfw, f/f, charr!)

Artist: BlackChaos666

Characters:
Maara - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/xeltoor
Sera - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/sera

Why: BECAUSE CHARR and SERA! .... again. ... What!? How can I not keep making these most-pawesome!? If there is one thing you have to know about Sera, it's that she has one awesome sense of footpaw appreciation. So... once again (and perhaps not surprisingly) her commission makes the Most-Pawesome choice very easy for today. The charr here is Maara, and yes... I have met Maara in-game, and this is EXACTLY the sort of personality she has. Very dommy, very broody, and would very much enjoy shoving her big feet in Sera's face and smooshing the little dragon around while she enjoys them. So.... apart from obviously amazing charr-feets, there are plenty of other things to love about this image. Look at Sera's expression; the eyes in particular. She is just lost in her passion and enjoyment of those big, awesome paw-pads. That kind of all-consuming passion is the heart of what being a pawsexual is to me because it really would be hard to think of much else with a paw that awesome in front of you. :) Her hand pleasuring herself is more like a sub-conscious motion at that point. Nice too is how Maara is being particularly dominant about the whole thing - squishing her other huge paw over Sera's chest (sexy chest, at that), and also in how she's holding Sera's legs apart... almost forcefully. Maara's smirk is SO perfect too. Doesn't get much more Pawesome than this. :)


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17615860/ (C4: nsfw, m)

Patch the Akita showing off his paws and fun bits, but apparently very embarrassed about doing so! Daww. Really nice pose on his left footpaw in how the angle lets your vision just flow over the nice sole pads.


3DiNoZ:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17593483/ (C3: nsfw, m)

Bunny! Basil35's character offering up a lovely view of his assets. BIG smooth bunny soles to enjoy.


Anyare:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17594422/ (C4: nsfw, m)

NooblarFur's character again, this time by Anyare. A nice paw view in his rather confident pose. :)


DJ-Rodney:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17599937/ (C3: sfw-ish, m/m)

Hurr... the massive Japanese squirrel Risu has got Rodney pinned, and looks to be switching from paw to paw, treating Rod's nose to those huge toes. I'm..... pretty sure Rod's enjoying this a lot more than he's letting on. ;)


TheOwlette:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17603606/ (C4: sfw, f)

One heck of a beautiful image of a unique female dragonness giving her head a scratch with some very gorgeous hind-paws. :) Love the colours!


Danza:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17609579/ (C4: nsfw, m/m)

Holy moly - biggest, clearest look at Guilmon soles I've ever run across!


LigerJazz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17611256/ (C4: sfw-ish, m/m)

Some good old Paw-lovin'! Carcar getting to enjoy some nice big feet in the best way. ^_^


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17614701/ (C3, C4: sfw-ish, m/m/m)

Smawgy just can't accept this adoration thing for his feet, can he? Ah well - picture offers us a nice view of everyone's feet! Maxx's C3 type feet, and Smawgy and Foxy's C4 type. In fact, REALLY nice look at Foxy's left footpaw here - such a nice sole.


Tchaikovsky2:
http://sta.sh/0zk4bhgq2eq (C4: sfw, po)

The insanely cute and attractive footpaws of Kebibi, from Tchai's Anza comic specifically, panel 5 of this one: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Anza-.....kima-558215633. Kebibi almost has a C3/C4 hybrid sort of paw, but since she walks on her ball pad/toes only, I went went C4. Once again, Tchai was very generous in providing this special render for paw-lovers. :)


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Four-Feet-558735808 (C1: sfw, f x4, art-human)

Four of Restif's virtual Sirens - (from left to right) Adrea, Lynette, Ellen and Katrina. Restif takes a lot of time to make sure the feet of his characters are completely unique in shape, design and texture, and this comparison of the new Genesis 2 models certainly showcases that nicely. I would have to say Lynette is (and has always been) my favourite; she has such incredibly perfect feet. Each have their charms though - Adrea hs really nice toes, Ellen looks like she has pillow-soft soles, particularly the ball of her foot, and Katrina has really cute heels.


Solaxe (aka: BigSol):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17617499/ (C3: sfw, m, po, macro)

That is one big paw going strolling by! Very sketchy piece, but the paw is just so well drawn I had to include it. Very beefy pads.


Ifus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17617770/ (C4: nsfw, m/m)

Renki and ThatPurpleFox having a rather intense mating session - great views of both their footpaws.


Nateday:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17619877/ (C4: sfw-ish, f)

Now this is a pretty lady, and judging by that very smug grin on her face, she knows exactly how nice her paws are, and just what they'll do to folks who like them. :3


Kashmere:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....2938/rusty-fox (C4: nsfw, f)

What a gorgeous job on the fur AND paws here. Beautiful canine lady in a pretty tasteful nude pose. The paws are really gorgeous; really nice big pads.


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17622431/ (C4: nsfw-ish, m)


TideKeeper:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17623268/ (C4: nsfw, m/m)

The beautiful Tenchi (dark hair) and Rain (red hair) having a macro cuddle moment. Daww - look at the tails! You can't help but think the army'd come rolling around the corner to deal with them then go "Awww." Anyhoo! Both of them have huge, awesome footpaws. I really like the idea of them being ground level so you might just be able to get RIGHT up to them. :3 Lovely betwee-the-toe view with Tenchi too.


FoxFury & Gorsha_Pendragon:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1093228/ (C4: nsfw-ish, f)

Gorsha's character, done via free line-art from FoxFury. Great looking character, and one of the best views of her lovely footpaws.


And that's it for today! See y'all for Friday's Paw-Post. ^_^

TC

*growf*

So! Couple things; I'm considering dropping the Paw-Post down to once a week - just on Friday's. As mentioned in the Tuesday one, it's getting hard to post two up a week given that the time taken to build them AND format them can chew up a lot of free time I don't have. :/ The catch is that it means there will be more pictures on the Friday one, and up to week-old pictures so not as fresh. Or... I dunno, maybe just also make the Tuesday ones conditional upon my schedule for the week.

SO... prior to this going out, I posted on FA and Weasyl about a classification system for footpaws/feet that should help make it easier to Identify what type of paw is in the picture link for those who are only into particular footpaw types. Rather than repeat it all here, have a look in either of the journals for more clarification along with picture examples of each type:

FA: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7014996/
Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/9393.....-for-paw-posts

There will be a simplified listing int he Legend with these links as well. The idea being simply that everyone can know right away what type of footpaw is in the picture. It has nothing to do with which one is best (after all, that's a personal opinion that will differ for everyone), just that it's easier to know ahead of clicking on the link!

OKAY!

So with that out of the way, let's see how it works and get going with this Paw-Post. ^_^

Why: BECAUSE CHARR... and SERA! *takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly* Okay... part of me wants to jump up and down pointing at the screen going "EEHHHEHEHEEEEE!" with this picture. This is the sort of pawesome that just kinda leaves you at a loss for words for a moment. Admittedly, this is two BIG alluring factors for me - charr, and Sera. LOVE the charr, and have always loved Sera's character because she is just SO into feet. Now! You may be asking "Wait a minute... I thought Sera was only into female feet?" And technically... you would be correct, but, the charr are SO damn sexy that they are above the rules for Sera. So here we have Nero, who happily agreed to the little dragon's request of "Can I lick your feet?" and then some! Nero is a full-size charr male, so yes, that is scale-accurate for just how massive those soles would be on little 5'8" Sera. Now I just love how completely into it Sera is - snout buried between those massive toes, tongue lapping away and mind just completely lost in that moment. Extra sexy that his other paw is squishing down on her beautiful chest, and you can see she's very much getting off on the moment. What's nice too is that Nero seems quite amused and turned on by just how much the dragon is getting off on his feet, and his own excitement is rather obvious. That all just adds up to make this SUCH a good picture. We even get a very nice look at Sera's sexy soles as she lays there. So... yeah, for me, pictures seldom ever get better than this. XD

Lizbeth getting mated by a female herm pirate, arr! ... Resisting urge for booty joke... Ahem. Nice footpaws on both of them, especially Lizbeth. Like that character too - those dark reds and blacks are such an awesome contrast for her eyes, and the light pink of her sole pads are another nice contrast to the dark charcoal fur of her feet.


BlooDoodles:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17574642/ (C4: nsfw, f)

This is a bear/wolf hybrid feral character; great looking hind footpaws, and a creative way to make it a teasing image too.


Sparky-the-Chu:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17575235/ (C3: sfw-ish, f/m, macro)

There's always a bigger macro; which nearly always seems to be learned by getting caught between their toes. Very, very nicely shaped and detailed toes on this big lady.


Ekbellatrix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17576155/ (C4: nsfw, f)

Now this is both creative and amusing! Murnakai is a hybrid between deer and and canine. I can only guess that she's trying not to make the other deer jealous with her gorgeous deep purple sole pads. ;)


Tyrix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17577301/ (C3: sfw, f/f, macro... really, really macro)

Yumi And Katsumi strolling around on a planet. BIG fuzzy and beautifully drawn super-macro paws.


Etuix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17577809/ (C4: sfw, m)

A cool full body badge picture for Gamma Wolf. He's got cute plump little sole pads, doesn't he? :)


Ifus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17577853/ (C4: nsfw, m)

The very sexy (and bright) NooblarFur, whom it looks like you just caught post-self-enjoyment. :P Cute shot of his left footpaw with curled over toes.


Yaoifairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17580091/ (C3/C4: nsfw, m/m/m)

Pretty borderline between C3/C4 type feet here, but oooooof... what lovely golden soles that Aerobolt's enjoying!


Dream-and-Nightmare:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17582157/ (C3: nsfw, m/m)

Two Final Fantasy Ronso's named Biran and Yenke enjoying one another. Biran getting a snout full of Yenke's nice sole.


Evil-Sprite:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Commi.....irez-558006003 (C3: sfw-ish, m/f/m, macro)

Taomon and Gatomon stomping through the digiworld, where by some incredible random circumstance, a little Cirez happened to be RIGHT where they were about to step down. I'm sure Cirez had NO intention of this happening. Nope. I mean since when has Cirez liked feet..... right? <_< Heh - at any rate - lovely big meaty footpaws on them both. I guess Gatomon's is an interesting sorta borderline between C2/C3.


Gorsha_Pendragon:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17582891/ (C4: nsfw, f)

A beautifully lit pose of this pretty lady in a rather revealing/needy pose. Nice look at her right footpaw - love that wild hair too.


Dylan:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17583297/ (C3: sfw-ish, m)

Dylan about to stomp ya. HAAAA - I love the toe ring!


Volac:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17583515/ (C3?: nsfw, m/m)

I think those are C3-type footpaws, maybe C4. Either way - LUCKY bottom-guy! That is way better than wasting time in the pool. :3


F-R95:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17583570/ (C4: nsfw, m/f)

PAW FIGHT! *Laughs* I totally used to do this with my neighbour when we were kids! So cute.


FurryRatchet:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17586057/ (C4: nsfw, m/m)

DoktorKangaroo enjoying Jud97's Lucario (in particular, enjoying that nice Lucario sole). Note that there's a link to a higher-res version on Inkbunny if you have an account there. :)


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17587344/ (C3 & C4: sfw-ish, m/m/m)

Smawgy gets a foot rub from Foxy while a mini-Maxx gives him a stomp-based foot rub... sorta. Apparently, Smawgy was momentarily seen smiling. HA! I knew it!


Keedot:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1089825/polaroid (C4: nsfw, m)

Gah... this femboi not only looks cute, he KNOWS it. Talk about being a tease. Big lovely footpaw pads on display too.


ImCareless:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17591365/ (C4: nsfw, m/f)

A very tender (and wonderfully shaded and detailed) piece with ImCareless's fursona showing off a nice little peek at her toes.


NecroDrone13:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17592388/ (C4: nsfw, m/f)

Kirydos mating with Necro. Very passionate piece which offers up a lovely view of Kirydos's very meaty ball pads and long webbed toes.


Iggi:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....g-with-zappers (C4: nsfw, f-h)

HotSquirrl's very dainty and cool looking herm character playing with zappers of some kind! Nice view of her toes and soles in how she's sitting.

Some Q&A

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Keedot) Mostly anatomical, actually. I like the look of them, though I guess that applies to general "foot like appendages". They're interesting to look at and just about as expressive as hands.

(TC) Yes! I find feet/footpaws can be immensely expressive as well - they can really communicate what's going on with a scene or portray an emotion well. Do you find that challenging to convey in an image, and do you have a good example of it in your work?

(Keedot) Actually, yes I do! Body language can be very subtle and it's something that can happen in a blink, so its hard to think about what to include or how to include it. There's also always the chance that you might make too subtle and then people don't notice at all!

I'm really bad at picking so I'll give you two and not one, haha. "Soft Pink". This was a vore commission for KibaCheetah where he requested to have an apprehensive sort of look. I always liked how it came out; one of the things I tried to do was position the feet so it looked like two things at once, pushing up against the predator in discomfort or fear, but also rubbing his toes in the fluid, because the slick/warm feeling is both nice, and gross. https://www.weasyl.com/submission/6.....k-details-vore / https://www.weasyl.com/submission/6.....tpink-vore-alt.
There's also a commission for the lovely Nikola with her mate Xaviera here: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/6.....363/sugarspice This one I also like a lot. There's something cute and coy about shifting one's feet when you're with someone you like. Flexing/curling toes can also be just involuntary, just a reaction to building tension. :)

(TC) What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want (say, creepy comments or whatever)?

(Keedot) So long as they're respectful toward myself (the artist, and my main 'sona Kee the Oryx), I don't really mind of people are expressive or a little creepy. There's always of course, nice friendly comments that tell you what attracted someone to a picture or why they faved it if they did, those are my favorite :> It feels very nice to know when people like something you made.

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Post?

(Keedot) ;A; Thank you, you guys are so nice; I'm honored! And also happy to see things geared specifically toward paws. Now I can go though and find even more artists to watch <3

(TC) How did you start drawing, and when/where/how did that end up leading you to the furry fandom?

(Keedot) Ahhhm. I've been drawing since I was a kid like many other artists. I guess I started actively trying to better myself and study toward that sometime around 07-08 which is right around the time when doing "art" became a goal and not just "something I maybe like to do". I've been a furry all my life, at least going by the definition of a person who enjoys anthropomorphic art and characters. I used to draw a lot of unicorns and dragons and people with animal parts (I'm looking at you, kemonos) and things like that; I ended up joining an oekaki board where someone introduced me to the word "furries", VCL and eventually Furaffinity sometime after that.

(TC) Do you have a particular favourite sort of footpaw you like to draw, and why is that?

(Keedot) -chuckle- I honestly like any sort of foot-like appendage, though if I had to pick I'd say I like long toes (like rat or lizard feets) and big claws where you can see the quicks. I also like large paws in general, big cats, big canines. Rabbits have the cutest paws, since they're thickly furred and extra soft. Raccoon and lemur feet are interesting and anything with thick pads is fun to draw. I also like monster feets since you can pretty much combine whatever you like and though they aren't paws I very much enjoy hooves.

(TC) Does your interest for footpaws (if you have one, that is), spill over into real life and humans?

(Keedot) It does! Just more in a... curious? sense than a "fetish". I enjoy studying the variety in toes and shapes. I like the relation of say, how having overly long claws affects how a dog stands so their toes might become splayed or be held compactly and perfectly shaped or how a foot might look when walking naturally as opposed to when wearing high shoes. I like looking at the differences between bony, angular large feet (on people) and delicate, smoother ones, or gently squeezing my cat's paws so I can feel how their toes work; they're incredibly good about tolerating that. Slow motion videos of felines scratching, birds gripping prey and dogs launching from agility equipment are interesting to me ;; Feet are really, really detailed and interesting parts! So in real life, it's more about just being curious about how they work and look than anything else.

(TC) What is your favourite sort of commission or drawing challenge to get?

(Keedot) I like sensually romantic yet adult-y commissions ^^; There's something very nice about a picture that is sexually charged and things are happening, but it's not the main focus of the art. One of my favorite things to do is just add details like a tender stroke or a curling toe. I'm a sucker for romanticism. I also really enjoy size-difference, it's always challenging to figure out how to fit things (and it usually gives you a marked variety in foot size.)

(TC) Do you have any sort of advice for anyone who would like to take up drawing (like where to start, or something that is helpful)?

(Keedot) Draw, draw, draw and don't stop. If you see someone you think is better don't quit because you think you'll never be that good, instead study and look at references and try, and keep trying. Art isn't a race, don't worry if you're not getting good fast, just worry that you're trying your best.

(TC) One thing that's easy to see in your gallery is that you have really diverse set of characters that you've drawn - do you have a particular favourite type?

(Keedot) I like snakes or nagas in particular, which is a little contradictory as my sort of snake have no feet at all, but what can you do? Other than that though?. I'm very happy to have that that kind of variety, commissioned or mine. There's something very satisfying about saying "Yes, I can draw that" when someone asks, maybe I haven't drawn everything, but I try to do my best every time.

And that's a wrap! Thank you so much Keedot for providing so many wonderful answers and extra feedback when I had more questions for them. XD A very generous artist. Enjoy the weekend everyone - back to school for most folks after this one!

TC

Okay... before I get to today's Paw-Post (which with constant meetings today is going to be tricky), I wanted to post this first to have something to link back to. Yesterday, Sera and I were having a discussion about some sort of way to rate the type of footpaw along with the other ratings I assign to stuff. In general, I get a lot of positive feedback from the ratings and descriptions because folks like that it often allows them to know if it's something they're interested in right off the bat or not, so to increase that functionality, a rating that explains the type of paw seemed liked a good idea, and Sera had a really good way to break it down - paw classes. So here's how it'll work:

(I have since moved this to a Google Doc - link below):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

So! With this system, you can get a general idea of the type of foot that the link is going to have. :) I know there are plenty of folks on this list who have very particular tastes in paws, so I hope this helps make it quicker and easier to find what you're looking for. ^_^ I can link back to this and tweak/updated it as necessary.

*growf*

September! Holy crap, this year is free-falling by. Last week here at the campus before all the students come roaring back.

I must admit, these Paw-Posts are sometimes getting hard to do. If I have enough quite times I can add links here and there, but sometimes, like today, it's a real struggle to find the time to do it. I had a dentist's appointment today, had to mow the lawn, make dinner - stuff like that, so time to work on it is kinda slim, and not something my mate much appreciates (understandably) as "furry" stuff tends to consume the bulk of what little free time I have. :( I'm kinda wondering if there's a way I can get help to divvy up some of the prep for these things? The take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to complete, sometimes even more when you take into account the Artist/Character highlight interview bit. It doesn't sound like much, but for me, there are some days where I have less than an hour to myself, so... can be tricky. Any ideas? Like... right now, I am quite literally losing a half hour of sleep tonight to get this posted before the day's end. :(

And... that said, off we go...


Open for Commissions

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17539007/

Artist: Anyare
Characters: Sera - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/sera

Why: Because Sera! Okay yes, this is some bias on my part, but come on - it's Sera! This beautiful little dragon always makes sure footpaws feature prominently in commissioned art, and this updated reference from Anyare is simply gorgeous. It not only depicts Sera beautifully, it actually serves as an updated reference for her footpaws in that they are much more plantigrade here. BIG pads and toes and a very nicely shaped sole, heel and body overall to her foot. The new reference offers us a number of lovely views of her perfect feet, including one whimper-inducing close up. And if you don't recall her character highlight (she was the first one) - yes, even Sera herself loves her feet. :3

And despite this being my favourite... it was actually a tough call because there are some other good ones too as you'll see below!


Footpaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17540511/ (sfw, m)

Eeee - awesome paw-centric picture of Footpaw's fursona, moments after realizing his tea is a bit too hot. Amazing detail and sole-pose for Footpaws's big plantigrade feet, with a nice bit of flexing in the toes from his surprise. Hope he's okay!


DJ-Rodney:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17540917/ (sfw, m/m, macro/mega-macro)

There's always a bigger macro. Here, Furbait17's Polar Bear character meets Rod's squirrel Risu. I TOTALLY approve of Risu's method of introducing himself. :3 Great looking enormous footpaw.


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17542686/ (sfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17563216/ (sfw, m)

1st pic: DannyDumal's character showing off his huge, handsome footpaws pretty much point blank and right at'cha! Hehe - I love that Danny's got paws on his shorts and chain too; clearly putting out a very pro-footpaw message. And because Tag is an amazing and generous person, she posted a step-by-step of the lining and colouring process for this picture, focusing on the paws: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17542828/ - cool!

2nd pic: DakotaWolf12's character showing off some paws! Lots of great details again and yet another new and playful pose central to showing off some good looking feet.

Starting to see why it's hard to make a "Most Pawesome" choice sometimes? So many nice paws!


GothWolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17546888/ (sfw, m)

Sexy tiger dude posing in his beach shorts. The pose shows off his feet pretty good - one side view, one peek at the soles!


Teaselbone:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17546974/ (sfw, m/m, macro)

Shisa hanging out and drinkin' it up with Bowser. I'm... not sure it's safe to be a little person with those big and kinda tipsy footpaws stomping about - but what a nice view of Bowser's foot!


Kabier:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17549731/ (nsfw, m/m)

Harley (in anthro dream-form) getting it on with Tyler. Second last panel gives us a view of Harley's cute soles. :)


ZP92:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/The-M.....ouse-557343362 (nsfw-ish, m/f, micro)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17552855/ (nsfw-ish, m/f, micro)

1st pic: While it's a more human-ish foot design, it's the theme that gets me in this one. The idea of being able to be a micro and just kind worship and enjoy huge, sexy soles with their lovely scent is extremely appealing. At least to me. <_< Lucky little guy.

2nd pic: And yet another lucky little micro getting to pamper this big kitty lady's footpaws. Here we have a more hybrid design that's a really wonderful mid-point between paw and foot with wicked detailing on the pads and sole wrinkles. Really love the look of this footpaw - and again, making the whole Most Pawesome choice a tough one!


BenTheDragon:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17553605/ (sfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17560238/ (sfw, m)

A couple more great paw-day pictures from Ben showing off some canine and dragon soles. :)


DragonsInTheAttic:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17555042/ (sfw, m)

Kuiko the gator with his unique blue-padded footpaws. :3 I like this idea - not that gator feet are bad as-is, but you often don't see variations to them like this!


Tyrix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17556572/ (sfw-ish, f, micro)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17564854/ (sfw-ish, f, micro)

This is older art from Tyrix of her character Yumi (older look), but as these are being re-posted (IE, they have not been around for a couple years) I thought I'd add them here, particularly because these two are also a couple of my all-time favourites of her awesome paw-related art. :) Would you not LOVE to get the chance as a micro to go have a nice close up encounter with those cute paws? :3


BlackChaos666:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17557433/ (nsfw, f, charr!)

Because charr! This is Athaina; one very gorgeous charr lady. You can take your guess as to why she's pouncing in the nude. :P Very lovely view of her huge footpaws and those massive, awesome charr toes! There's nothing quite like them. :)


Ekbellatrix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17560245/ (nsfw, m/f-h)

This pretty female-herm dragon is giving it to a smaller male, who's in the perfect pose to show off a bit of sole. Don't know much else other than that about the characters!


ImCareless:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17569562/ (nsfw, f)

Gorgeous nude of this lady, which happens to also be one of the more alluring poses to assume for any paw-lover/pawsexual coming into the room to behold that. I like the realistic proportions of her too. Sole-wise, they're really nicely detailed paws and pads too!


Venerit:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17568428/ (sfw, f)

And here's ImCareless's character done by Venerit. Cute little pose at her laptop with her feet up in "the pose". Daww.


Herro:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17568757/ (nsfw, f)

Drip Dry in her teenage years (and by the looks of it... the 80s) making people pay up for something! Depending on your tastes... this could be the easiest or the hardest payment in the world! If you'll remember form the character highlight on her, Drip does keep those beautiful toes delightfully scented. :3 I would SO find reasons to make her do this to me. XD AND AGAIN... you see why picking the Most Pawesome is hard sometimes!


And that's it for today! Enjoy all, see you for Friday's list.

TC

*growf*

Happy Friday All! Still stuck at work on a very busy back-to-work week thus far. :/ Unfortunately vacations when you work in IT are rarely more than "Work-offset" days, so there has been plenty left for me to get done.

So, on a Paw-Post related note, I often get folks wondering why some pictures make it and others don't. I've mentioned near the start of the Paw-Posts and probably back a couple months ago - these links are my personal picks from all the paw-related stuff that I'm aware of. "Aware" being one of the key factors there, "personal picks" being the other. I don't know of or see every paw-picture that gets posted, so sometimes I miss out. As I've encouraged before, don't be shy - PM or e-mail me any links you think I may not have seen (though do check my watch-list first to see if I watch the artist or not). If it's someone I don't watch, then there is a good chance I didn't see it. Also, in additional to my "personal" and picky tastes coming into play for this list, I do also try to adhere to a few standards for the list by avoiding posting links to underage characters, intentional snuff/murder/gore, or things that tread into more questionable realms like rimming, scat, watersports, diaper, etc. While I don't judge people for what they like, the Paw-Post's primary focus is on paws, and too much of anything going on outside of that can really take-away from the core point, plus some of it can border on offensive to folks as well. In general, I try to keep things as clean as possible - if there are multiple versions of a picture, I always choose the least "mature" of them. Certainly, I have nothing against NSFW stuff, just that I try to keep things as paw-centric as I can. So... basically, if I feel a picture crosses a comfort line, I will omit it.

Alrighty, that said, let's do it!


Open for Commissions

 TideKeeper: (info - https://www.weasyl.com/journal/9344.....sions-are-open) One super-awesome artist (and guy) is open for commissions!

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17506401/ (nsfw, m/m)

Artist: Ekbellatrix

Characters:
Liesl - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/aojiroikitsune/
Helio - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/zombiefoxx


Why: Because this is kinda what it's all about. :) Helio is just basking in Liesl's sexy footpaw. Helio's expression really sells it with this world just being taken up by that paw, and the bond between them. Also nice that Liesl is very gently just resting his other foot on Helio's erection - sort of a gentle acknowledgement of how aroused it makes him without turning it into a paw-job. The look on Liesl's face is also very sweet - just very happy to be pleasing his friend, and very giving. I like too that one of Liesl's ears are raised, as if perhaps also enjoying Helio's pleasured noises. Very lovely picture!


CariFoxLeopard:

WonderTheFox's cute paws while munching pizza and gaming! Nomnomnom.


Kalahari:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17504662/ (nsfw, m/f)

Part of a comic he's working on - we get a lovely view of Topaz's right footpaw in the bottom panel. I'd um... say she's got a thing for the guy. <_<


RogueLiger:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17504825/ (sfw, m, ref.)

Incredible super-detailed character reference for Raylldo, including a really wonderful look at his footpaws from all angles. :3

A couple more very nice pictures featuring paws from this artist - the latter one being very specifically about paws!


AeonAngelus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17509262/ (sfw, m, po)

Speckled paw-pads! That always looks so cute. :3 Nice ground-view of said cute paws coming towards ya.


Flynx-Flink:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17509418/ (nsfw, f)

Now this is a cool take on a bat character! Keeping with mostly bat features, this lovely lady has more canine-like footpaws, which makes for some very attractive soles.


Corfide:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17511204/ (nsfw, m/m)

Pip finds himself a paw-slave to a mobster boss. Not... an entirely terrible fate, honestly. :3


Anyare:

Replicators! Oh boy, did that bring back Stargate SG1 memories; and who knew THIS was what the Replicators wanted to do once they took over. :3 While they work on this tigress, the rest of us get one very gracious view of her paws.


Skye:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17514553/ (sfw-ish, f)

Skye's fursona posing tastefully in a simple sketch. I like this one for how it shows her toes peeking out behind.


BenTheDragon:

A big paw-day icon ( seems there were a few more to post ) of Reiji Kitty's big soft footpaws.


VampireKitty:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17519448/ (sfw, m, charr!)

Because charr. Loki's charr Skrall, kicking back with his top hat (yes, I've actually seen him in game, and he does have that) putting up his big sexy paws for some attention.


Ocho:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17523032/ (nsfw, m/m)

This girly dude is getting ridden by a rather hungry stallion. I... think he's enjoying it? Well at any rate, we can enjoy his footpaw (and cute toe ring) while he rides.


FastTrack37D:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17524792/ (nsfw, m)

One very sexy fox guy in blue on a big ship. Great angle for the leisurely pose that shows off his big blue-soled footpaws in great detail.


TideKeeper:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....oment-of-peace (sfw, m/m)

Awwww. <3 Tenchi (dark-haired one) and Rain cuddling in some ancient ruins. First off, I love these two - such a sweet couple who always look great together whether it's romantic or playful fun. Second... look at those huge footpaws! The Raskei species (belonging to TideKeeper) have amazing, big padded footpaws (smooth-skinned, if you're wondering).

Character Summary (by Werevixen):
Tani is a non-earthly vulpine, born in the fictional system of Anderral, on the main planet Anderral-0 roughly 100 times the volume of Earth. Life evolved in a similar fashion to Earth, except rather than any sort of primates existing, there were instead only mammalian and amphibian lifeforms. Just like that, Tani is an Anderral vulpine, born on the aforementioned largest planet in the system in a time where space and stellar travel are already well underway. Her short stature and stocky build, as well as huge hindpaws and short, stubby fingers all come from the fact that she's a first generation anthropomorphic of her specific strain of vulpine, as others had evolved from it's most basic ancestor millennia ago. A sort of mutation, if you will. She grew up in the wild to about age 17, and was then captured and flash-indoctrinated into a culture of flashy lights and scary noises.

There, she was studied for a few years and during that time they'd 'installed' a spider-like symbiant that latched onto her cerebral spine and basically injected it's own nerves and neural connections into her brain, allowing a flood of information, general knowledge on language and skills and the like, to directly be fed into her memory. A process that was very taxing, and over the course of weeks turned out to have blinded her while it further interfaced with her body and set itself up as a permanent beneficial parasite. Nothing that a pair of web-like lenses couldn't fix to both cosmetically restore her original jade green colour to those irises, and as well return her eyesight, enhanced, even. But all in all, Tani's blessed with an expansive knowledge on most mainstream skill (no super fighting moves, no weapon know-how, just general day-to-day stuff for getting by), yet with her baser instincts and impulses retained, as well as the fairly basic anatomy.

In regards to her forms, those neural inputs also have external ports for linking with all manner of technology, like commandeering small craft, interfacing with computers and the like. This is how she got her forms, namely anything involving gender (male, female, intersex male- and female, hermaphrodite, and neutral) and body type (rudimentary, full anthropomorphic, feral, and taur). Basically body modding gone very extreme. The flow of restorative nanites in Tani's body both stop her aging (she is perpetually around 23-26 years old depending on when you ask me) and allow for the release and absorption of base materials from air, sometimes other surroundings to shrink and expand mass.


Some Q&A

(TC) With all those different forms, does Tani have one that is a preferred default?

(Werevixen) Oh my, yes. Being a creature of instinct, Tani can't help but feel the most comfortable as her rudimentary anthro self, at a mere 3'4 but nice and stocky, she's also the fastest like that of either anthro form (while the full anthro form is 5'6 tall, it's plantigrade and less mobile speed-wise). Gender-wise she prefers to be either female, or hermaphrodite if she's feeling a tad more adventurous.

(TC) So is her default short height with such big feet a result of her original home world having more gravity than Earth?

(Werevixen) Partially, and also as a rudimentary anthro, it's to cope with her higher center of gravity, and as to how it wouldn't impede her ability to traverse on a dime while running, something that is much easier with a large surface area. Maybe it makes her a little slower than she could have been, but if you have to dodge right quick, or the prey tries to give you the slip with it's agility..

(TC) Her default form's feet have huge, bare soles, and they look fantastic! Can we get more details about those?

(Werevixen) Tani retains those bare soles on the hinds up to her ankle as a feral and taur (though forepaws are considerably less covered), and the entire sole of her plantigrade paw. The pads are fairly sensitive, especially higher up considering they barely ever get walked upon. She enjoys to have them caressed or teased greatly, but may be a bit shy to receive attention to those pads 'lest it's someone she knows at least somewhat. Part of her baser instincts to not be caught unaware or vulnerable. She feels they're just the right size for her. She's had 'em all her life after all, her default form is her favourite and those big paws are part of that, and them being so sensitive is more than just a small part of why she really enjoys 'em.

(TC) So does she enjoy the feet/footpaws of others as well - in what ways? And does she enjoy her own in the same sort of sense?

(Werevixen) Tani has a lot of interest in paws, she really likes her own, especially how they're bigger than most taller anthros'. She enjoys the girth of her toes for one, each thicker than her snout, and just as long! Her pads are thick, smooth, fairly soft and squishy. She really enjoys to give attention to other paws, less to her own since she enjoys the, uh... oral aspects of paw worship, and her own soles are fairly hard to reach, her legs get sore after a while. So she is indeed quite interested, turned on even by her paws. She enjoys giving worship to her own herself but, as mentioned before, that gets a bit difficult after a while. She enjoys to have her's worshipped by others too, but usually tends to be a bit more assertive with that, covering faces, trying to fit toes in willing maws, and rubbing bodies all over with her heavy stompers.

(TC) She sure likes using those big feet then (totally understandable!). Does she have other things she enjoys with others?

(Werevixen) Well, it's no secret that Tani is very big into being restrained, leather in particular, but latex and rubber are fun too. If not with people she at least knows and enjoys the company of, usually in safe (very much public) environments. And when her arms are caught behind her back, she'll have to use those hindpaws for anything and everything, so that's just 'nother plus!

(TC) Is it the act of being restrained and at other's mercy that she enjoys, or is there more to what she's wanting out of it?

(Werevixen) A bit of both, she likes being bossed around, a bit of an adrenaline rush when she's not the one in charge, contradictory to her slightly more assertive nature. She's not an alpha by any means, but she enjoys a measure of control. When bound, everything's just a bit more exciting-- either she has to work harder to maintain that control, or she's stuck with someone and completely at their mercy. She does get bound up quite heavily sometimes, with nothing of her left bare!

(TC) Tani (at least in her most common forms) has six rather obvious breasts - does she enjoy them getting attention to?

(Werevixen) Well of course, each pair is no less sensitive than any 'normal' single pair would be. She especially enjoys gentle strokes, underneath most of all.

(TC) Does she have any pet-peeves, or stuff that really bothers her about others or a particular thing, kink or anything?

(Werevixen) Generally anything that has to do with bad hygiene, living in a very technologically advanced environment where disease is almost completely eradicated, and any unwellness is more related to malfunction of implants, augmentations and the like, filth is very much strange and unpleasant to her sensitive nose and keen eyes.

(TC) Hmmm... interesting; would that mean she is not a fan of natural scent (say a clean paw over time just has a scent related to body chemistry) - or another's scent (if clean)?

(Werevixen) She doesn't mind a bit of musk, so long as it's clean musk. A little dust on walkin' paws is fine, too.

(TC) What are some of Tani's favourite hobbies or ways to spent her time?

(Werevixen) Well, being in essence ageless, what with her cells never having a chance to die off (at least, being replaced near instantly), she can sometimes go excessively long just being tied up. Food isn't much of a concern, neither is air, really. Thanks to her symbiant she could sustain off of a form of photosynthesis for all it mattered. Besides the obvious naughty stuff she dabbles in a lot of things; endurance running, cooking (and eating the results), of course typical things like gaming as well, which is really useful when you can just use your entire body linked up as a peripheral.

(TC) I don't think I'd want to face her in any game then. Not only would her feet be distracting, she'd have a hell of an advantage. So... with the endurance thing playing into her kinks, that's certainly unique; does it mean sometimes she gets off on people tying her up and just.... prolonging how they're doing that with her?

(Werevixen) Very much so, she can stay bound up for weeks, months, years... she had one stint on a moon where in full sensory deprivation, in a vacuum-sealed latex cube, with gyrating spring-mounted toys rolling against her walls, she was meant to be there for an incredible 1,900 years, but due to her not requiring air or food, anything beyond light, and the facility (specializing in long-term bondage entertainment) was struck by an asteroid and decompressed, she spent about 17 millenia there. It ended up being a bit boring, but it wasn't hard to reintegrate her back into society after that, she's just not been to any special bondage resorts since! She tends to prefer more partner involvement into the whole thing, so it's understandable she hasn't gone to such places anymore, and keeps it to a couple of days, a week at most with a specific single- or set of partners. Tani also isn't very much for relationships, being as scatterbrained and easily distracted as she is.

(TC) O_O That is... a long time.

(Werevixen) Well, I really enjoy the thought of, you know... her being tied up, and lost at the same time. Maybe when some scavengers or scrappers find the evacuated facility they'll come across her. Maybe even spends a couple of years as someone's elaborate decoration within a home.

(TC) So um... how old is Tani exactly?

(Werevixen) Not even she knows, physically she's between the 23-26 age range, since when the symbiant has been fully adapted to her body, with all the nanobot tracts in her body completed to keep rejuvenating her. Many points in her life are depicted rather than every single event, since she can in fact survive so long as her symbiant remains functional. Though, with her cells being constantly cloned and replaced, without the symbiant (EMP is especially dangerous), she would age to her end in hours. It doesn't help that, with her being a first generation anthro, she'd normally only live about 30-35 years naturally. If they hadn't indoctrinated her into their society using the mechanical symbiant, she might haven't even lived long enough to grow used to it, and understand it.

(TC) Is there anything Tani would like to say to the paw-lovers/pawsexuals on this paw-post who would be happily admiring her big feet?

(Tani) Oh, eh-- hum. Thank you, and, uh... dream big!

That'll be a wrap then! Thank you very much to Werevixen for all the answers on this unique character. Have a great weekend everyone!

TC

*growf*

Erf... well, last of the vacation days done with - though technically this wasn't exactly a "vacation." The last two days were spent helping Mom pack up her stuff since my folks are breaking up. Normally, packing/moving is not exactly a "fun" thing. Add that little element to it and bleh... that is a whole lotta NOPE. Anyway, 'tis all done with for now, and I'll be returning to work as normal tomorrow. So apologies again for this being late, but I didn't get a chance to start working on it until this afternoon once I was home again.

Aritst: EC-Major:

Character: Unnamed, as of yet - but belongs to EC-Major

Why: Hunngg! Oh WOW... does Major not have THE BEST interpretations of video game races?! Here we have a female Worgen (WoW) in the most sexy pose ever. Check out the boots!!! I mean, I'm not even a boot/footwear kinda guy, but DAMN - those are pretty sexy! I love (love, love, love) how the ball pad and toes show through in those boots, and Major did SUCH a nice job on them too. And that's not to subtract from the rest of the picture either. She is really beautiful, and that post is just gorgeous. Love how there's very little colour in it - just enough in the right places to focus your eyes and attention. She's got such nice curves on her, and those perfect breasts just slightly showing off a bit in the shiny getup is wonderful. A+ for Major on this one!

I know... I know; not seeing Cari at the start of the last Paw-Post was odd, wasn't it? Sometimes... just sometimes... she doesn't have have a paw picture ready in time for every post. :P BUT, she's back! This time with three awesome pictures. :) I really love the pose and look of the right footpaw in the second picture - so nicely done.


TideKeeper:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1...../little-friend (sfw, m/m, micro...ish)

Dawww. This is Temsa, and apparently either a paw-loving little lizard, or I have found a way to disguise myself as a wee cute lizard to get a closer look at awesome paws. XD Temsa is really cool digitigrade footpaws with huge toes, and his very form-fitting outfit makes it easy to see how gorgeous that sole is as well. Heh - and SUCH a cute expression on his face. ^_^ Pictures like this is why "most pawesome" is often so hard to pick.


RobinTheFox:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17500302/ (sfw-ish, m)

Sssssnake feet! The one and only Greer, after what was no doubt a long day in his custom sneakers or boots. Just LOVE how that right foot is just going all grabby-toes for your nose. :3


Teaselbone:

Dream&Nightmare:

Two sexy males from Ms. Tag - and don't both of them have the sorta "look" on their face that means you KNOW they're expecting you to come-hither? :P Both very nice, and because Tag is both awesome and always so good to us hopeless paw-folk, she has make sure there is a generous look at toes and soles in both.


3DiNoZ:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17497646/ (nsfw, m/m/m)

Well... can't say there aren't enough paws showing in this one! Two guys stuff a friend, and all three of them are showing off some lovely sole.


TheOwlette:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17496035/ (sfw, m, ref)

Great reference sheet for ThatPurpleFox - LOVE the combo of purple and black! And of course, the TheOwlette did a lovely close-up of his footpaw pads (as she's quite a paw lover herself... as noted in her artist highlight a while back).


Incorgnito:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17494924/ (nsfw, m)

GraniteTheWolf's character showing off those big sexy paw pads about as point-blank as possible. Rather like how he's looking at the left one like he knows how good looking it is. :3


SpazzyHusky:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17465805/ (sfw, genderless)

Moji - who has no gender - showing of that whatever lacks in gender is made up for in paw detail. :P


Dr. Javi:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17490595/ (sfw, m/f)

Inés (the purple male) decided to be super-sweet and carry a tired Starlight home after a long day of work, giving those adorable feet of hers a rest.


KaputOtter:

Chata and Augy in a little dominance play - one very nice sole-view from behind the one.


AggroBadger:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17488832/ (nsfw, m/m/m)

Well now - isn't that an interesting advantage to being bi-membered for that shark guy! A cool choice to have the two canines enjoying him in two different poses, and of course, this is on the list because the fox is in a wonderful pose to show off his two cute footpaws. :3


Demicoeur:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17488438/ (nsfw, m/f)

Keedot:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1077260/daylight (sfw, f)

A beautiful owl griffiness about to make a landing. This is the gorgeous character of Onom. That left footpaw is so beautiful - toes splayed and reaching for the just-out-of-frame perch. Lovely job. And Keedot's comments are all the better "...thanks for the paw appreciation~ I do like drawing paws as I think they're interesting and full of gesture potential, so it is very encouraging that the action came across as intended!" <3


Anyare:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17464400/ (nsfw, f)

This one JUST missed the Friday Paw-Post. Anyare's lovely fursona offering up a revealing pose which naturally shows off the soles so well.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Soles.....Evil-555441362 (sfw-ish, f)

Two awesome pictures from ZP! The first are the handsome soles and toes of Rosyboy the lion. Human-ish in design, but with much wider/larger toes. The second is Mirage - the villain (or one of them) from Aladdin. Here's her bare-soled feet wanting some attention. Given her demeanour, I would not waste time making her wait. Awesome mid sole wrinkle details, and for human type feet, they are in wonderfully perfect proportions. :)


And that's it for today! Enjoy the rest of the week all. :)

TC

*growf*

Happy Friday all! Well, just when I though I was capping my week off on a somewhat graceful note, it looks like I may have to book a couple more days off to help my mother pack up her stuff and move. Blah. Moving is awful. Packing is worse. :P Upside; at least she lives a 3 hour drive away now instead of a 19 hour drive. XD

So, I have not too much to say other than apologies for lack of feedback of late - during time off I've actually tried to not use the computer more than I have to. So, let's get underway:


Open For Commissoins

 Catwolf: She is also doing a YCH offer, details here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6981014/. She is (as per the recent July 31st highlight on her) DEFINITELY a paw-centric artist who enjoys drawing paws, so have a look and please consider it. :)

 Tsaiwolf: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6982148/) Not specifically paw-centric, but a very good drawer of nice paws! A few slots now open (details are about 2/3 down in the journal).

 SweetPupperoo: (info - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17458521/) Another frequent drawer-of-nice-paws is opening (next week) for commissions; info in the link above, and reservation info.

 Quillu: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6980602/) Opening for Commissions on Sunday. Interesting twist here; rather than first-come, first-serve, she will be picking the ideas she likes best. So... perhaps com up with something really interesting and you might land a slot. :)

 BlitheDragon: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6980294/) Blithe is opening for September/Octorber commissions. All price and ToS info is linked in the journal above. Again, not a paw-centric artist, but a pretty good drawer-of-paws. :)

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17446438/

Artist: ArcticLion - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/arcticlion/

Characters:
Neuro - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/neuro
Mestiso - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/mestiso

Why: Because this is just PURE footpaw-love. ^_^ It's a very beautifully detailed picture, but the heart of it is of course their footpaws. You get the impression that they got home, kicked off their shoes/sandals and the first thing they wanted to do was enjoy the others' feet. Neuro's socks look like they were quickly tugged off and tossed aside while Mestiso's are handily open-toed so Neuro can get right to enjoying them! I like the little details here too - like the two plushies of them in the background (dawww) and things like the chips and game-controllers on the table, implying that they're about to spent a good long time just having fun together. Very awesome image, and very much the heart of what it is to just love footpaws and enjoy being with someone else who does as well. :)


Gakuseigitsune:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17333800/ (sfw-ish, m)

GAH, I have forgotten to post this one TWICE now. This was contributed by DrakeParadox! So not all that common that snakes get to have footpaws at all, so not surprising that those who do kinda really enjoy them. :3 I would too. Great looking sole and toes on him.


DragonsInTheAttic:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17439927/ (sfw, m/f)

Very cute picture of Kuiko the gator watching something with Ssthisto the dragon (who has an awesome way of eating popcorn). Cool look at Kuiko's big blue-padded soles.


Sparky_the_Chu:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17440970/ (nsfw-ish, m, micro)

Sparky's munching away, not paying a lot of attention to the micros around him. I dunno about you guys (okay... I have a pretty good idea...) but I'd love to be one of the little guys getting to tend those nice soles of his. :3


Charon2:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17442123/ (sfw, f, macro)

Another teaser picture for an up-coming animation from Charon2. That is the giant footpaw of Nariko, his macro bunny.


HomogenousRule:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17446180/ (nsfw, m/m)

A runner up image for Most-Pawesome for sure - the always sexy Loki and Muddy enjoying each other, with Loki very happily lost in Muddy's bit, soft sole pads.


RainArtsInk:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17451339/ (nsfw, f)

A lovely pose of Austin which happens to show off her soles very nicely. Love that thick hair and braid!


SpazzyHusky:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17451418/ (nsfw, m)

WhiteFoxy94's character (which is pretty cool looking, I must say) in a pose that beautifully shows off his footpaws, and... most else.


Muzz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17451895/ (nsfw, m)

FurcaylenFox's character easing himself onto a rather large toy (ow), but it does offer a nice view of his soles. :3


SukebePanda:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17455074/ (nsfw, f)

A really interesting pose for TheCalMeHavoc's character, in which the right footpaw is in a really cool toe-spread pose.


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

One very awesome view of this guys big, soft sole pads and toes while he is pretty busily absorbed into playing his game! Definitely one of the most paw-centric pics from Aggro of late. ^_^


ZP92:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Sandy.....tomp-554734723 (sfw, f)

Eeeee! This big beautiful lady is looking for some micro's to introduce to her extremely sexy sole. I would SO volunteer. Great high quality resolution picture too.


Yaiofairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17456063/ (nsfw, m/m)

Loki and Muddy again! Yet another very tough choice for Most Pawesome here; in fact, I thought "maaaaybe I should let someone other than Loki and Muddy have this for a change." XD Still, very awesome picture where these two handsome guys are just very much enjoying sharing their sexy paws - this time with a little help from some tasty icing. Mmm.


KurraDragon:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17456923/ (sfw, m, po, TCO!)

These very handsome and wrinkly soles are a really cool traditional drawing by Kurra, AND... they are for sale! This is a great big canvas piece which he's offering to sell and ship - details are in the description. LOVE the wrinkles in the midsole! You can just imagine how amazing they would feel. :) Anyway, cool picture - and it could be yours!


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17459691/ (nsfw, m/f)

DarkStallion and SunTattooWolf having a bit of bondage fun. Oh my oh my... that pose offers us one graciously wonderful look at the wolfess's big, gorgeous sole pads! Nestled together like that, they look like they're just resting there, in waiting, perhaps to be part of a tease later. What's also cool is to imagine DarkStallion's point of view; she's tucked up a little along his leg, showing her breasts and snout teasingly, but hiding what we can all see. Very nice tease.


EC-Major:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17460439/ (nsfw, f, ref.)

A gloriously detailed reference sheet for the camel character Indra. And yes..... Camel feet! Admittedly, rather different from the usual sort of footpaw you'd see on this list, but certainly worth showing if you imagine how soft and unique those soles would be. Also... as a writer and someone who LOVES character details and background... I LOVE THIS CHARACTER! EC's details, backstory and information is SO interesting. I like too that this is an older women, because you don't really see a lot of older characters out there (apart from ancient ones like dragons). Such a cool idea. ^_^


Tsaiwolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17462132/ (nsfw, m/m)

Nelly giving Kulza a ride, and we get a rather nice view of Kulza's happy paws while he gets cream-filled. :P


Wolf-Nymph:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17462857/ (sfw, t-f)

Twisted Hound and her glowing amorphous familiar. A very lively pose which offers up quite a view of her soles which are very beautifully detailed.



Artist Highlight: Doran Eirok!

I know what you're saying... wasn't Dorey a character highlight from a few months ago? Yes! But Dorey's also an artist, and has generously subjected himself to another round of questioning for this highlight. :) There are a few folks who are both artists AND keepers of awesome characters, so double-highlights (as has already happened with VampireKitty) will pop up from time to time. :)

Some Q&A

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Doran) I absolutely love footpaws. I'm an avid reader of the Paw-Mails and I think one of the original subscribers, and paws are one of my very favourite things. I find them adorable, beautiful, attractive, and I really enjoy drawing them when I'm able to find the time/energy/inspiration to draw. From a quick look through my gallery it's not hard to see that paws tend to feature pretty heavily. My interest in paws spans a broad range from entirely innocent into more intimate and sexual, though I tend to keep most of my artwork toward the relatively innocent side of things. I love paws for their shapes and textures, but beyond that they have importance to me in a somewhat symbolic sense as well. Our feet/paws are the parts of us that interface with the world most directly most of the time, we feel and explore surfaces with them... and given my own rather submissive personality quirks, there's a dominance aspect for me as well. Being pinned down or otherwise controlled by somebody's paws feels like a very powerful expression of dominance, and tending to somebody's paws feels like an equally powerful expression of submission, in a way that can make for either a passionate and heady fantasy or a very intimate expression of love and devotion.

Finally, my love of paws meshes with my enjoyment of leather in the form of a great interest in boots and other forms of paw-wear. I love bare paws, but there's something I find extra compelling and dominant about paws wrapped up in a set of tall leather boots. I freely acknowledge that this may make me something of a weirdo, but it's what I've got! Paws are beautiful and sexy and dominating, booted paws even more so, and the idea of finding myself at eye level with either is a good way to make happy squirmy Dorans happen.

(TC) That's a wonderful (and very thorough) explanation! I especially like the mention of them being the thing most in contact with the world. It's an interesting point not often considered. That said, I'm curious if that means you enjoy going barefoot, or in minimalist type shoes to maximize that feeling?

(Doran) I very much do enjoy going barefoot where possible, but my own feet tend to be quite tender and I'm pretty cold sensitive, so between these two things I don't do much barefooting outdoors ever. I do however very much enjoy minimalist shoes in the form of Vibram FiveFingers, and will happily prance around in them when the weather's warm enough. As much I enjoy the powerful and sturdy feeling of a tall pair of boots in the autumn and winter, wearing VFFs or other light footwear in the warmer times makes me feel all kinds of energetic and bouncy. Plus it gives you a really neat feeling being able to sense that much more of the world you're walking over. It makes you aware of how varied the ground surfaces are and what a sensitive and dynamic bit of anatomy our feet are.

(TC) I SO love my VFFs as well. :3 What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want (say, creepy comments or whatever)?

(Doran) I like to think I'm pretty easygoing and open-minded, so I'll appreciate any comment that expresses enjoyment of the artwork and accept it in the spirit with which it is given. Since I'm in a closed relationship I prefer not to have too much in the way of sexually charged comments or role play directed at art of my own character/identify (which admittedly is something like 90% of what I draw, selfish and vain dragon that I am). Even so, I'm happy if people like the work, really! Helpful critique is fine too as long as people are polite and friendly about it. I'm fairly casual about my artwork though; it's something I do because I enjoy it and I want to share images and ideas I like with the larger community. I don't pour as much energy as I could into constant technical improvement... though it's good to get some nudges in better directions now and then, too. :)

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Post?

(Doran) YOU ARE ALL FANTASTIC. Shared love of paws and paw-related artwork among those of us who are into them is one of the ways in which I am able to feel most strongly like there's a real and vibrant community here in all this furry stuff. There's a really warm sense of solidarity to it, and I've met so many wonderful people through the love of paws. This Paw-Mail phenomenon that TC has set up feels like a really fun and special thing that's helped bring some of us together that much more. And even before the Paw-Mails began, fellow lovers of paws are by and large the people who made me feel by far the most welcome and appreciated when I've posted my artwork here. Made me feel like however strange a person I might think I am, there were others like me who appreciated my quirks and that there was a place where I could fit in.

Also, yes I'm very sorry, I really need to draw things more often!

(TC) How did you start drawing, and when/where/how did that end up leading you to the furry fandom?

(Doran) I've been drawing stick figures and triangle spaceships shooting pewpew lasers at each other since I was old enough to hold a pencil. As I got older I dabbled in pirate ships and dinosaurs and dragons, and some nature and landscapes when a road trip from Michigan to the Rocky Mountains and back with my parents provided a flood of inspiration. In the late 90's I discovered this internet thing, shortly followed by the online dragon community which did a lot of good for me, found me many true friends and helped a confused little teenager make some sense of a lot of difficult to explain feelings. From dragons I sorta stumbled into the furry community and eventually worked up the courage to start posting some of my art, especially after I was gifted a secondhand Wacom Graphire 2 tablet from a friend and started drawing digitally. Since then I've just enjoyed it more and more, found a lot of wonderful people in the community, unreasonably large masses of incredibly beautiful and passionate artwork produced every day, and a bunch of people who seem actually interested when I draw silly pictures of dragon feet. ^^ Long may this continue.

(TC) Does your interest for footpaws spill over into real life and humans? Explain.

(Doran) It does, but not nearly as strongly. I do like human feet and I appreciate them, though I'm considerably more picky about shape and cleanliness and how comfortable I feel with the person they're attached to if I'm to really have much interest. When it comes to humans I'm sometimes more interested in the footwear than the feet. It tends to be very mood- and situation-specific, but the same feelings of dominance can apply with humans as with furries and dragons, especially where an imposing pair of boots is involved. And even when I don't find myself as physically attracted to human feet, I still revere them for their importance as our first and most important tactile contact with the Earth. Feet are amazing and deserve our care and respect, and if I am finding myself interested in being close to somebody's feet it probably means I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like them.

(TC) What about with furries? In that fantasy context, do you have an interest in paws or is it still pretty much the same idea?

(Doran) As described more generally above in the first question, yeah. Feetpaws are very important to me for a variety of reasons, and I find myself very easily and strongly compelled by an attractive set of furry or especially dragon feetpaws. Hence drawing them all the dang time...

(TC) Word has it that you are an actual, totally-real scientist IRL. Care to elaborate?

(Doran) It is true. Through considerable work and no small degree of good fortune I earned myself a PhD studying mountain treeline ecosystems and climate change. Now I'm doing a post-doctoral research fellowship on a project studying urban ecosystems and all the benefits they provide for people, with own role being trying to map and model them on computer. While the nitty-gritty of the scientific process and academic life are occasionally incredibly frustrating to me, my enthusiasm for learning and better understanding this beautiful and amazing universe we live in always keeps me going.

(TC) So... you can honestly say "FOR SCIENCE!" when drawing things?

(Doran) I can! And I really should more often. There's some fun subject matter there (not least the iconic drawing of myself wearing a lab coat and massive rubber gloves and boots and goggles whilst cackling maniacally, which I have yet to draw for some reason) and I should really tap into my scientific background for inspiration more often. Though some of the more comedic things I've found myself forced to do in the field have inspired artwork here and there (e.g. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/2699850/ ).

THANK YOU Dorey! Some very amazing (and incredibly thorough answers). :) And yes, Dorey was getting paw-mails long before they were a public thing. He was the second individual to get them after Sarkiran first suggested I do them. :) I can definitely confirm his love for paws. XD That's all everyone - have a safe and fun weekend!

TC

*growf*

Back from the weekend of family get-together's and from kayaking yesterday with brother, sister-in-law and nieces! All went mostly well, except for the AC being busted at my Dad's place. 90°F (32°C) with 75% humidity days made for a very, very uncomfortable house. Then the air-mattress I brought had a leak which sucks 'cause this was only second time I ever used it. XD All in all, very awesome though - particularly the kayaking yesterday as my mate was able to come out as well, and it was just such a perfect day for it.

Anyway! I'm going to make this a pretty short/sweet Paw-Post 'cause there were just way too many journals and stuff to sift through to see who's open for commissions right now. So, it'll just be some picture links for y'all to enjoy until Friday. ^_^ Here we go!

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17411346/

Artist: DJ-Rodney

Character: Rodney (owned by DJ-Rodney)

Why: Because huge, meaty bear soles. I have no idea how Rod ended up like this (and apparently neither does he), but what a sight that would be to come into! Bears have such wonderful looking soles, and few (if any) people draw them better as anthros than DJ-Rodney. It's definitely a foot-centric picture, and hose huge feet would be a guilty to pleasure to watch wriggling around while he wonders if you're ever going help him get the ropes off or not. (and... do keep in mind that whoever tied him up may still be there - ;) ).


Bambii_dog:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17398832/ (nsfw, m/m)

Echo-Wolf and Firewolf going tat it, with a lovely view of Echo-wolf's footpaw up in the air. :)


Harlem:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17399725/ (nsfw, m)

Foxosexual's character showing off his big meaty/fatty footpaws. Unique bi-colour pad scheme, and just love that sexy toe ring. ^_^


Muzz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17408262/ (sfw, m)

Another super-cute toony commission from Muzz of Furcaylenfox's character. Those footpaws are just adorable, and what gorgeous cell-shading work too!


Iskra and Ajna (collab.):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17415483/ (nsfw, f)

What I wanna see is how many boating collisions and "mishaps" happened just after this pose. :3 Lovely idea for a picture, and a lovely lady at that! Adorable paws up in the air in one hell of a teasing pose.


KadoHusky:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17416198/ (nsfw, f)

Kado's corgi girl Bailey erm.... warming herself up for more fun. :3 A lovely view of both her cute feet's sole pads.


Tazara:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17417639/ (nsfw, f)

A pic of Decollie's character just posing in perhaps the most simple/suggestive way possible. :P I like that this choice of pose also shows a peek at the sole/toes of the right foot, while also showing the top of her left in a more clenching/scrunching pose.


Demicoeur:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17423668/ (nsfw, m/m)

A pretty straight-forward knotting of a male... kinda upside down...ish... but that gives us a great look at one of their footpaws!


Vallhund:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17425524/ (nsfw, m, TCO!)

The character of Neox seemingly offering you a choice (or.... maybe an order-of-operations). One gorgeously detailed and shaded footpaw is up for display on this one. Love how big and perfect those toe and pad proportions are.


YaioFairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17429012/ (nsfw, m/m)

Chenler and Dev.0 doing some creative 69'ing, in which we get one gorgeous view of Dev.0's soles. Lucky Chenler has only to turn his head to either side for a wonderful treat.


FutonMania:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17432503/ (sfw, m)

Okay - I'm not endorsing Patreon here; just think this is a great picture! Futon's cute dragon character using those big wide footpaws to get attention in the best way possible for any paw-lover. :)


Charon2:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17434465/ (sfw, f, macro)

A sneak peek at a scene from an up-coming animation from Charon staring his macro female bunny Nariko! Oh my... look at the details on that sole, and how beautifully proportioned that footpaw is! Can't wait to see this. :3


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

This colourful pair is running from a very Indiana Jones type problem. We get a nice peak at the fox's unique yellow sole pads. Just um... don't linger too long to admire. ;)


Iggi:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....the-green-room (nsfw, m/f)

The beautiful Hopey, giving one very intense moment of pleasure to Eldrikke the dragon. We get a very lovely view of Hopey's beefy footpaw, and overall, I just love how much emotion is in this one. Clearly they are both very into it, but even with the intensity of the moment, look how tenderly Eldrikke is holding Hopey's chin. Daww. :)


And that's it for today! Simple one, but hope you enjoy it. See you for Friday's!

TC

*growf*

YAY Friday - and more yay than usual for me as I have today off! Actually, yesterday, today and all of next week. :P Part of it will be spent at some family get-together's this weekend, and visiting my brother (who's not been to Ontario for 5 years). The rest is just much-needed down time. Rather hoping that I get some time to write as such.

Tuesday's Paw-Post, I hope, should be on time. I'll be away all weekend and busy Monday, so I don't know what sort of time I'll have to work on it right up until Monday evening, so if for some reason there is just not enough time to get it out, or I end up needing to use Tuesday as a "rain day" for the events planned on Monday, then I may need to cancel the Paw-Post for that day. I hope not, but won't really know for sure until I'm right up to it.

Okay, let's get going...

Open For Commissions

 VampireKitty: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6960998/) Has some slots open for sketch commissions. VK is a wonderful lady to work with, and as you can see in my gallery, or hers, or many others who have commissioned her; the art is amazing. :3 Not just good at paws, but brilliant at emotion in any piece she does, and I love how much more that adds to a picture. :) Go grab a slot!

 Lunalei: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6960346/) August slot openings are available. Nice clean lines, gorgeous shading work, and while not primarily focused on paws, she does draw nice ones (and as per her Artist Highlight from a while back) is happy to do so. :)

 TalksToDogs: (info -https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6964243/) Open again for more commissions. Talented lady who does traditional art and happens to be darn good at paws.

 Harlem: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6964464/) Open for one flat-coloured picture and a number of sketch slots. While not specifically paw-centric, he does churn out some great paw stuff. :)

 Rokemi: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6965488/) Some badge and pin-up slots open. Unique style (and great with paws).


Heads Up / FYI

The artist WMustang (who has some beautiful work and nice footpaw stuff within) is moving FA accounts to here: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/wolvermustang/. Might want to update your watches/bookmarks. And if you haven't watched - check out the gallery of that and the old account. :)

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17396036/ (sfw-ish, m/m, charr!)

Artist: Skye (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/skye)

Characters:
Loki Roland - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/zarus195/
MuddyCharr - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/biglovingwolf

Why: Because Charr. This is part 2 of a series of Loki loving on the huge footpaws of his wonderful mate. Three things really work for me in this one: 1) Charr (duh), 'cause they have such huge, amazing footpaws. 2) Loki's incredibly happy expression, and 3) the implied simplicity of a moment that is just all about paws and their love for each other. It's just a completely paw-centric moment, and one done out of love and appreciation for feet. :) That made it an easy choice for today.


YaioFairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17371815/ (nsfw, m/m)

This probably started as one wanting to have a shower and - bam, fun stuff. :P A nice view of both of their footpaws to be had in this scene.


VoondahbaYosh:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17372284/ (nsfw, m/m)

Crackers the mouse riding his friend Ruddrbtt. The PoV offering a nice look at both of their soles (nice shading detail in particular on Cracker).


Freckles:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17375961/ (nsfw, m)

Awesome Lion-taur character here with his huge hind-paws up in the air and showing off some very nice sole pads. :) No complaints about the rest of him either. :3


Black_Chaos666:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17377820/ (nsfw, m/m, charr!)

Because charr. Two of them. Ferros and Kayroo offer up a nice tease to any passer-bys. Very sexy looking males, and a decent view of their big (potentially needy) feet. :3


KolbeJack:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17378789/ (sfw, m/f)

A touching couples/cuddling picture in which we get a lovely look at the one's sole pads. :) I think it's neat that the character attached to those nice feet is so colourful, yet, not in an overly saturated way. You don't see that much.


Zen:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17380220/ (sfw, m)

*laughs* Oh wow, this is cute - The Beast in need of a bit of help to get that pesky thorn out of his gorgeous sole pads. :3 Been quite a while since Zen's done a paw-centric pic, and what an amusing way to roar back into the mix. XD

I really enjoy how anthro-bears carry over the fully-soled footpaws of the real animals they're based on. Big, wide, and beefy footpaws are a nice tease with the way this guy's propped them up for some attention.


Slyus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17381539/ (nsfw, m/m)

Cheetapaws and EvraMalygos having some fun (perhaps a birthday treat for Evra). We get a nice look at the unique soles of Evra here, as well as a bit of a look at the nice tops of Cheetapaw's foot as well.


Kyma:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17381602/ (nsfw, m/m)

A beautifully shaded/lit picture of Furryfoxfur and Fuzzyfox enjoying a bit of time surrounded by nature. A nice view of the paws whilst romping.


ZP92:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17382982/ (nsfw-ish, f)

What an awesome PoV in this one! While human-like in design, the larger toes and massive wrinkle detail in this ladies mid sole really make this a fantastic picture. The somewhat taboo-ish theme adds a bit as well. ;)


3DiNoZ:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17387891/ (nsfw, m)

DarkShine is a hybrid lion of sorts, showing off some very big and cool looking paws here (among other things) in a beautifully shaded and lit picture.


GothWolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17387872/ (sfw-ish, m)

Benoit in one very obvious (and thus wonderful) Paw-tease. Thos speckled pads sure make it a fun and sexy bit of sole to stare at. :)


RossCiaco:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17385337/ (sfw, m)

Whoahhoho... now THAT is a character with some trippy colours! This is Ravr, a sabre, and doing a cool leaping/slash pose that shows off his big feet beautifully. Huge sole pads and toes on this guy - I particularly like the angle of his right footpaw in this.


Footpaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17396333/ (nsfw-ish, m/m/m)

Haha... so... Conner the raccoon's escape didn't -quite- go to plan here. Oh well - means we get a heck of a view as those cute soles of his are ah.... rewarded for his troubles.


Reivagan:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17396768/ (nsfw, m, ref.)

An amazingly detailed ref sheet for YuunDaisuke's character Abis Sedjet Basten. The sheet has some very nice shots detailing the footpaws of this gorgeous character. The race is Altinian - one of YuunDaisuke's creation, where being barefoot is actually quite common. :3


Vallhund:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17397348/ (nsfw, m, TCO!)

One very unique looking Roo character in a pose that puts those HUGE footpaws RIGHT in your face... or as close as a computer screen allows anyway. :P


Lukos:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17397714/ (nsfw, m)

Renki sometimes finds himself in curious situations. Seems he's discovered some hungry tentacles. At least we get a nice look at his toes while he tries to figure out if this is a good or bad thing. XD


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Lynet.....lirt-553633628 (sfw, f, art-human)

Graaaahh... this was a close runner up for Most Pawesome (even if... not really a paw). Here we see Lynette, very, very obviously propping up her foot as a tease. The expression totally sells it as such, and Lynette has such perfect feet (she's my favourite of Restif's digital creations). Heh, to me, the only downside is that they're slightly dirty, but then, some people like that so a good call on his part to go with a light dusting of dirt. Anyway, a very good example of a perfect human female foot here, methinks.


Xainy:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....-thinkin-about (sfw, m/m)

DannyDummel and Nulizz's characters having a fun talk in a grassy field, both showing off their cute paws to whomever might walk up on them. I like how light-hearted and fun this feels - both smiling away, talking with their gazed locked on the other. Very nice. :)

Character Summary (by YaioFairy):
Drood is a very horny bastard and likes sex in all ways it comes! He's easy going in general and gets along with everyone. He is also a bit of an attention seeker and loves the lime light ;) In creating Drood, I wanted a creature that wasn't really a known species. To me, he is kind of a demon cat/lion. He is based off of the World of warcraft druids (as you can tell I'm so creative with names haha). His color scheme was inspired by the cat villain, Cat R Waul, from Fivel goes West. I've always loved paws that are lighter on the underside for some reason, I guess I feel it brings out the paw pads more and you can see more details of the paw with the lighter color. I kind of feel it also puts emphasis on his paws- which really hits the spot for me!

Commenting on Images:
(YaioFairy) I like everything XD I especially love punny comments

Some Q&A

(TC) Drood is a very playful looking guy who happens to show off those footpaws quite a bit. He seems to know the're an item of interest, so does he enjoy teasing folks with them?

(YaioFairy) Oh yes he loves to whore his paws out :) He also likes to play with paws in return.

(TC) What does Drood think of footpaws anyway - are they an item of interest to him as well, or is it more about being playful with his towards others?

(YaioFairy) He knows that they can be a very sensual spot easily overlooked. He likes to touch em, lick em, etc. And enjoys having the same done to his paws. And even during just regular sex you can see the paws still very active, curling toes or sprawling them out as a response to pleasure.

(TC) What's with Drood's glowy eyes?

(YaioFairy) Well he is a feline afterall :) The glowly eyes intimidate his foes and also help him see at night! And of course add that hint of mischievousness that is so evident in him :3

(TC) Does he have any hobbies or favourite things he likes doing? (answer can be sfw or nsfw)

(YaioFairy) Drood pretty much....is just a huge pervert. Everything is all about sexy stuff ;) Sometimes its about being submissive or dominant. He's a switch. I used to draw him in pain a lot in early pictures where he was receiving anal because he was a noob at it and couldn't take the cock! He's really gotten the hang of it now though and it doesn't hurt him as much anymore.

(TC) What are some of Drood's favourite qualities in people? And what things does he -not- like in people?

(YaioFairy) He likes people who will play with him and dislikes those who thinks hes a weirdo X3 He'd prolly try to claw at the meanies!

(TC) Drood seems to have an anthro and feral form - does he shape shift?

(YaioFairy) Yes he shapeshifts into feral forms. He actually also has a tauren form (which is female) and a male bear form as well. I've kind of been in the works of creating more forms that are not in the WoW universe, like perhaps a dragon form- just haven't really gotten around to it yet ;)

And that's it! Thank you to YaioFairy for a cool look at Drood and his lovely feet. :) Have a good weekend everyone!

*growf!*

Welcome to the newly renamed "Paw-Post!" Much nicer. :) Also, sorry for another late one - 'tis my mate's birthday, so that was the priority this afternoon. :) She's 51 today. ^_^ In contrast, it's an amazing difference from last year, when she was having to use a wheelchair to go any long distance 'cause of her hip. Needless to say, she's in much better spirits this year than last.

Okay! One order of business; alternate links. I've been posting alternate links for some pictures when they appear on more than just FA or any one site. Given how time-consuming these Paw-Posts can be, I'm going to only post primary links now, and primary links will not be FA if the picture is available elsewhere, as FA tends to have the lowest quality images. So say if the image is on Weasyl and FA, then I will post the Weasyl link. Remember on Weasyl and other sites, clicking on the image (or on "Download") will allow you to grab the full size, full quality picture.

Alright... here we go...

Open for Commissions

 Bleuxwolf: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6951056/) A cute toony-type artist with one more slot available!

 Cunningfox: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6955791/) Sort of open... she is doing an interesting method of choosing commissions by picking ideas she's inspired to draw. Have a very creative idea? Try your luck!

 TheBigMansini: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6956596/) Has a few open slots again. Definitely a paw-centric artist who does amazing work both in anthro and human-like footpaw types.

 Wyntersun: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6958145/) Wyn needs to make some cash so is offering slave-streams. While Wyn does pretty nice footpaws, it's not really her thing and I think she'd prefer other topics. Now she does do some pretty incredible muscles and athletic stuff, so if interested, have a look at the post for more details. Wyn is actually turning art into a full time job (voluntarily). :)

Most Pawesome Picture!
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Commi.....s288-552817002 (sfw, m/f. macro)

Artist: Evil-Sprite
Characters: Evil-Sprite and Claire (owned by Evil-Sprite)

Why: This is just good nature'd indulgence of a love for footpaws. ^_^ Claire is a very attractive character that Evil-Sprite created as a very athletic, muscular, but very feminine lioness. I like that she's indulging him here and that we get to see multiple lovely views of that huge footpaw and gorgeous sole of hers. But it's mainly the theme that really works for me in this one, 'cause wouldn't you love to be in Spite's place? :)


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17342985/ (sfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17366262/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17367146/ (sfw-ish, m)

1st pic Foxy's super unique 1000 watchers picture! We get a nice peek at his paw, and more so, give him a big congratulations!

2nd & 3rd pics: One epic view of Foxypaw's sexy v2.0 footpaws! <3


Sheela:
http://www.supersheela.com/index.ph.....my-otter-paws/ (nsfw-ish, f, macro)

Sheela's back up and posting new art. It gets posted to her site first, then eventually trickles its way down to FA and Weasyl. You'll need to confirm your 18+, but once you do you get to see some awesome huge otter feets! Beautifully drawn BIG toes and soles with very thick webbing between them.


Kalahari:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17341904/ (nsfw, f)

One rather needy Doberman lady showing off... pretty much everything in this pose. Really amazing feet! Kalahari does such fun, lively poses. Nice plantigrade style soles with large toes and what look to be very soft pads.


Iggi:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17369769/ (nsfw, f, charr!)

Because charr. This is the lovely Athaina, rendered by Iggi. One thing that Iggi does rather uniquely with charr is that the toe and ball-pad are one solid pad. Certainly original looking. Athaina herself replied to me with "I love the paws in this. I specifically asked for the paws to be accentuated because Charr foot paws are amazing ;D "


Danza:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17369367/ (nsfw, m/m)

Now that's a mouthful. O_O While the canine does his best to take the dragon, the dragon enjoys him. AND we enjoy the gracious view we get of the dragon's soles. :P


Teaselbone:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17364694/ (nsfw, f/f/f)

Oh man... it would be fun being any one of these ladies, but for any paw-lover, it's the otter that's got the best position! I love how Teasel does five-toed plantigrade type paws too; bigger, wider and a bit different in proportion to human feet. Looks fantastic.


Catwolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17360626/ (nsfw, m, charr!, po)

Because charr. The incredibly sexy and teasing paws of one Loki-charr, just wiggling around to get attention (likely NOT a problem in the Citadel or surrounding area).


Flynx-Flink:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17358743/ (nsfw, m/m)

VampireBoi couch-ridin' Dash, who's giving a great view of those paws in the process.


Rukaisho:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17352304/ (nsfw-ish, m/f, micro)

Jordan gets a little.... or... a LOT of attention from Krystal. Meanwhile, Krystal's super sexy paws are up in the air in "the pose." :D


Vallhund:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17350924/ (nsfw-ish, m, TCO!)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17350903/ (sfw, m/m, TCO!)

1st pic: Kanic in the locker room doing the most distracting thing possible to any passing paw-lover. Pretty cool looking fur patterns on those big feet of his.

2nd pic: Strowh and Tyrse at the beach! Nice peek at Strowh's paws, and... I can't help but think of Neverending Story and Tyrse going "YEeeeeeeaaaAAAAHH!" XD


Dr. Javi:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17348947/ (nsfw, f/m)

Zolie is using hypnosis not to make Sharp do this, but to suppress the inhibitions and shyness that would have kept him from doing it. Great idea! And Zolie has some really cute footpaws too, doesn't she?


KampferWolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17345665/ (nsfw, m/m)

Colour version of the sketch he did from the last Paw-Post. :)

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17343982/ (sfw, m(m/m... sorta), po)

Heh - a fun little series from EC. It started with his character's lovely footpaw, then Foxypaws mentioned giving him a massage and poof - picture #2 happened. Then came a KillTheSergal's footpaw, and Foxypaws and Wolfertech wanted in on that too... so he turned them into toe-rings, hence picture 4. Not an entirely bad fate! :3


Bloodoodles:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17339176/ (sfw, m)

The infamous Artie (surprisingly not underfoot or in peril... at least that we can see) showing off his famous and adorable pink sole pads. :)


RogueLiger:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17337280/ (nsfw, m, ref)

Fantastic and very detailed reference sheet for the super-sexy Renki! I really adore his character for how original the design is. :3 This reference contains multiple great and detailed views of his footpaws, plus is the only thing I've ever seen that really shows his tail-maw in detail (I didn't even realize he had that until recently, heh).


Nommz:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1065269/shocking (nsfw, m/m, macro)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1065920/romp (nsfw, f, macro)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....9/big-not-burd (sfw, m, macro)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....7/interruption (nsfw, m/m, mega-macro)

LOTs of Macro stuff from Mr. Nommz. The second and third picture in particular contain amazing detail and beautifully drawn footpaws. Plus that bird-like dino in the third one is very unique looking.


Freckles:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1065592/paws (sfw, m)

"Paws > hooves" was the theme of this one - agreed! Very cute how happily he's playing with his toes.


Modem Leolynx:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....ssion-casanova (sfw, m/m)
http://www.deviantart.com/art/NOT-M.....pill-552272498 (sfw, m, po)

1st pic: Casanova (little guy) and Tal Rex cuddling. Really like how tender this is - a hug that sinks back into the other, and even their handsome footpaws are nestled against each other, dawww.

2nd pic: DOREY! Oh my, how I was tempted to make this Most Pawesome, though it would have been a huge personal bias. XD These absolutely delicious feets are the property of one Doran Eirok, aka Dorey, aka Floof-dragon. He has such handsome, sexy and wonderful grabby toes on those nice feet, and Modem has done a really fantastic job of portraying them here. In fact, the pose is something I could see Dorey doing to get all playful and teasing with those close to him. :)


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Baref.....-Set-552931742 (sfw, f, art-human)

Another lovely render from Restif of Adrea (who, in his lore is an actress) on the set of another of her sci-fi movies, barefoot, of course. Lovely view of her feet here - I especially like how her right foot looks; WOW, that is a perfect human foot. And it's not like the rest of Adrea is hard to look at either. :P

And that's it for today! See y'all Friday!

TC

*growf*

Ooof... so um, yes, as per the FA journal, last night was a bit rough. I had already been up a long time due to Thursdays being one of our early morning change-days, and only had about 2 hours sleep when the pager went off and I had to go into the office. I got home 4am, and was in bed around.... 4:30am-ish. So been feeling a bit off and tired today. Gettin' too old for late-night crap like that! (and yet sadly I'm the youngest guy on the team, lol). Anyway, I'm very sorry for how late this was today, but I really didn't have time to work on it until the day was nearly over. Thank goodness I'm not on-call again until October.

Choosing a better name for the Paw-mail seems to have had most folks happy with "Paw-Post", which I think is pretty catchy and a bit more fitting since it makes sense for both mail and journals, or even potentially future blogs or whatever. So starting Tuesday, I'll just start calling it that. :) Thank you all for your thoughts on it - plenty of people mentioned something either publicly or privately to me.

Most Pawesome Picture
http://www.deviantart.com/art/A-little-bookworm-551681196 (nsfw, f)
http://sta.sh/022palrjtn7e (same picture, alternate angle)

Artist: Tchai (aka Tchaikovsky2)
Character: Jinjing-Yu (owned by Tchai)

Why: The attention to detail is AWESOME in this. And while it may be a full body picture, Tchai has done such a wonderful job of making this completely paw-centric (just check out the label on the lotion, hehe), AND offered up two beautiful views of Jinjing-Yu's gorgeous little footpaws. The feeling of the picture is just so warm from from wonderful lighting, the layout and of course Jinjing-Yu's cute little glance back at you. Easy choice for most Pawesome today!


CariFoxLeopard:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17316855/ (nsfw, m/f)

For those of you new to the Paw-Mail - yes Cari is nearly always at the top because she nearly always has one or more paw-related pictures to share! Anyway, Renki and Taki enjoying a nice little mating, along with Renki very much enjoying Taki's foot.


KampferWolf:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17318535/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)

Kampfer getting those big soft pads of his properly attented to. BIG picture (w00t) with nice details.


WFA:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17307334/ (nsfw, m, macro)

Falco! A look through my gallery reveals I have a soft spot for this sexy bird. :3 A very macro Falco making a mess of a city, but apparently quite happy to entertain a lot of micros! BIG awesome footpaws here (love his scaled feet). Though I would have to say my favourite Falco picture from WFA is this one: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11521309/ (also nsfw) because that is the BEST view of his soles! :D


JammerHighwind:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17309004/ (nsfw-ish, f)

This is his new character Sun showing off some poses, and that she also wants you to tend her nice feet. Chop chop.


KolbeJack:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17312265/ (sfw, m)

Just reading a book... and probably wondering why everyone's staring at his feet when he looks up. Great looking footpaws on this canine - big pads, big toes. Yum.


Gorsha_Pendragon:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17320563/ (nsfw, f)

More dainty/cute footpaws for Ms. Pendragon - one on the bed, one up in the air (and... pretty much everything else about the lady being revealed as well).


Higsby:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17324004/ (nsfw, m)

We're seeing the afterglow of a little self love here with a nice view of both soles - one clean, one messy - take your pick I guess!


TheWildCoon:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17324669/ (sfw, m/m. macro)

One very overly happy husky wooshing down on what looks like a surprised MLP. XD Nice view of his footpaw.


Teaselbone:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17324567/ (nsfw, m, macro)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17333234/ (sfw, m, macro)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17333264/ (nsfw, m, macro)

LOTS of macro going on here with various sketches from master Teasel. And... now you can say you've seen a chubby bag-pipe-playing X-vemon. Bet you never thought you'd see one of those. :P Really like the nice pose on that footpaw in the last picture too - that's nice sorta sequential drumming down of the toes that you don't often see.


Vallhund:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17331887/ (nsfw, m, TCO!)

Awesome commission of Xanderfoxfire's character. First off... does his member not remind you of a Popsicle? Like seriously, there were multi-coloured Popsicles like that when I was a kid. NO they were not canine-member shaped. :P Anyway, she does add one very teasing view of his right footpaw in this pic, showing a bit of sole and toe pads.


Nommz:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....for-the-camera (sfw, m/m, macro)
(alt. link): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17331221/

The infamous Duncan Roo posing with Teaselbone. What could POSSIBLY go wrong for that city!?


Kclt:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17328985/ (sfw, m/m, micro)

FutonMania's character looking a huge foot over Kclt. While human-ish in design, this is beautifully done and posed. Nice angle too.


DJ-Rodney:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17328319/ (sfw, m)

Frank the raccoon being all pudgy and cute, offering up a great view of his soles.


Tchai (aka Tchaikovsky2):
http://sta.sh/01rf1jpj12u9 (nsfw, f)

A gorgeous 1920x1080 Wallpaper of one of the frames from the latest Anza comic. This is the character Kebibi (a hyena) sitting and contemplating stuff. She has super cute speckled footpaws, and this offers a wonderful view of them. The comic it was from is here: http://tchaikovsky2.deviantart.com/.....weke-551962595.

Reptile Cynrik:

(alt. link): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17318893/

A beautifully detailed character sheet for Reptile, which includes a great look at both the tops and soles of his footpaws (which he stated he included specifically for paw-lovers). :) I've always loved this character (hmm... need to feature him soon!) and those big feet. :)

Some Q&A:

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Jammer) I'm not very picky with what sort of paws/claws/feet I enjoy. And my interest can vary with my mood. I guess my biggest love are fully-padded/skin-sole feet.

(TC) What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want (say, creepy comments or whatever)?

(Jammer) I enjoy any sort of criticism since I'm trying to become a professional. I welcome any sort of comments except trolling or arguments.

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Mail?

(Jammer) Not in particular, thanks for having on here, I hope to draw more and more paws. :)

(TC) How did you start drawing, and when/where/how did that end up leading you to the furry fandom?

(Jammer) I was drawing since I was 3 yrs old. I got serious into drawing at around 14. I actually discovered the fandom a few years later when I found Furaffinity.

(TC) Do you have a particular favourite sort of footpaw you like to draw, and why is that?

(Jammer) Like I said I love fully-padded paws the most, since it feels better to me. I usually draw four-toed paws the most, I feel that's the cutest number of toes.

(TC) Does your interest for footpaws (if you have one, that is), spill over into real life and humans? Explain.

(Jammer) Of course I love them. Human feet IRL are actually my least favorite kind. Mainly because most people just don't take care of their feet and they get all gross and stinky. I don't think I'll ever exercise my interest IRL because of that.

(TC) What is your favourite sort of commission or drawing challenge to get?

(Jammer) I namely enjoy the one involving cute, small, cuddly creatures. They are soo fun to draw.

(TC) Do you have any sort of advice for anyone who would like to take up drawing (like where to start, or something that is helpful)?

(Jammer) I say just start. You don't need training or school, unless maybe you planned on making it a career, which I am. Just take aspects from other art that you really enjoy or inspires you. Then build it into your own unique style. It will take time to perfect your skills into something you truly enjoy, so be patience.

(TC) Do you have any particular pet-peeves when it comes to drawing or working as an artist?

(Jammer) Art blocks, when I draw too much and I have to take a break, with makes me feel unproductive. Also, looking at my old art and realizing I probably could have drawn them much better.

(TC) What do you find the most attractive thing in art about anthro characters (can be General, mature, or adult commentary)?

(Jammer) Namely the colors and just how it is completely unique from just drawing humans all the time.

Wow... all the artists of late have been so great about answering all the optional questions! Thank you very much Jammer! And that's a wrap for today's paw-mail... soon to be paw-post. :P Have a safe weekend everyone!

TC

So... my until-now quiet on-call week just ended in royally bad fashion. I was up at 3:15am Thursday morning to do a core upgrade at work (Thursdays and Sundays are the change windows for such things). I had planned to go home at 1 to 2pm ish but a support call with a bullshit issue kept me at work until past 4pm. Got to bed at a decent time, but got woken up by the Pager (first time on this on-call rotation) with a switch in the Chemistry building blowing out it's power supply, so into work I went. Was an ordeal to get it changed out, and long story short, it's now 3:30am, and I'm heading back home to TRY and get some sleep.

Time to work on the Paw-Mail tomorrow may be limited depending on how many people bother me with requests. I'll try to get it out by the afternoon. Sorry all - just been a brutal last 24 hours. :(

*growf*

A miracle happened ladies and gentlefurs - I had an on-call weekend where the pager didn't go off once. Will likely never happen again. XD

Okay, so first things first; I need to think of a better name for this Paw-Mail/Journal thingy, then have to figure out a way to streamline formatting to cut down on the time it takes to do these things and post them. So name-wise, there have been a few suggestions and ideas:

* Paw-Post
* Paw-News
* Footpaw-News
* Feet'n'Paws Stuff
* Feet, Paws, and Stuff

So... thoughts? Any cool ideas of your own to suggest?


Open for Commissions

 DaiGaijin: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6934144/) Prices (in Euros) and everything are there. Dai's done some nice feet in a number of pieces of art. While not his/her focus, still well done!

 KolbeJack: (info - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6936065/) Talented and versatile artists who has done some fairly footpaw-centric stuff before.

 TheBigMansini: (info - http://www.deviantart.com/journal/A.....Open-550845188) Open for August commissions. This artist is most definitely footpaw-centric, and does some very sexy paws as well as is one of the few that (in my opinion) really nails the proportions for human-like or outright human feet. :)

Most Pawesome Picture
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17261358/ (nsfw, f, charr!)

Artist: Kyvax
Character: Maara (owned by Xeltoor: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/xeltoor)

Why: Because charr! OMG... because charr. Having met Maara as a character in-game, this is SO HER. She is blunt, broody and would greatly enjoy smooshing her big sexy feet on you for some servicing. ..... and before anyone asks, NO that is not -how- I met her in RP. XD Still, this take on Maara is expertly done - like, I honestly can't say there is room for improvement in how freaken awesome this is. :) There is also an alternate version where Maara is wearing a steel strap-on... just check the next picture. And yes... that would be pretty much in-character for her too. :P


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17296976/ (sfw-ish, m)

I like it - simple, but awesome. Morokai enjoying his super-sexy paws in a rather direct manor. Wouldn't you if you were him? :)


Danza:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17265576/ (nsfw, m/m)

Two sexy reptiles enjoying one another - one rather big mystical dragon, and one anthro dino-like one. A nice view of both of their soles in this.


Muzz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17274932/ (sfw, m, TCO!)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17275474/ (sfw, f, TCO!)

Dawww... super cute toony takes on these character, both showing their footpaws rather nicely. Oh man, the expression on the second little dragon is SO energetic and unique!


Modem Leolynx:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....-muscled-hyena (nsfw, m)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17272298/
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....on-furdasi-iii (nsfw, m)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17272551/

A couple sexy guys from Modem, both showing off their big paws (among other things). I really like the left footpaw of the reptile in the second picture - SUCH a nice sole and toes.


ZP92:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Candi.....oles-550370784 (sfw, f)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17269412/

Eeeeee... a runner up for Most Pawesome - this beautiful lady's footpaws are just divine. Now this to me is a very nice way to use a human-like shape and layout, but tweak it enough that it's also pretty unique. Big, beautiful toes, a very meaty ballpad to the foot, and the wrinkled, super-detailed midsole is just...mmf. So so nice.


Vallhund:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17280237/ (sfw, m)

Zharr18's character by Vallhund, showing off his big toes and plush pads in a nice tasteful badge-like pose.


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17281101/ (sfw-ish, m/m)

Not so much a picture as a very cool demo of an interactive 3D version of Maxx and his footpaws. Think about it folks... it won't be long before we can slap on a VR headset and really get to see such awesome paws in great detail from ANY angle. How cool is that!?


KaotikJuju:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17283163/ (sfw, f)

A beautiful dragonness in a playful, tasteful pose that happens to show off her lovely hindpaws very nicely!


Teaselbone:

(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17299478/
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1057014/gabumonz (sfw, m)

Oh my... such awesomeness from Teasel!

1st pic: Another close choice for most Pawesome - Uber-Teasel, looking to have spontaneously just..... happened while with some friends. Uber-Teasel has full soles, and big, powerful feet to match his muscled body. I would SO like to be the one on the floor getting to have that awesome foot on top of me. ^_^

2nd pic: Did you know it's Bowser Day? Better Hail to the King! No one does Bowser quite like Teasel does, so this was a really wicked treat to see today. Naturally he's gone one sexy foot raised up to show off some nice toes and sole.

3rd pic: Gabumon! In what may well be the best Gabumon pic I've ever seen. :) Great look at his footpaws, but hey, this is just a great picture in general! Love how alive his eyes and expression make him look. :)


Siberio:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17298315/ (nsfw-ish, m)

And speaking of Bowser, looks like Siberio got a hold of him and wants to see how much the King can take. Mmmf... would be delightful watching those big feet of his wiggling around for a while in this, wouldn't it?


Catwolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17285292/ (nsfw, f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17295363/ (sfw, m, po)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17305361/ (sfw, m, po)

1st pic: Werevixen's character Tani, showing off her very unique multi-padded paws. And yes, they ARE actually super big.

2nd pic: Catwolf's character Flynn showing off his very yummy digitigrade paws. Personally, I think this is a super fine example of digitigrade paws that are really well proportioned - the right sorta tweak from a feral paw that makes sense for a bipedal digitigrade.

3rd pic: Futcion's bare-soled footpaws! Very interesting sorta hybrid foot.


Kattotang & Mekolai (collab.):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17303148/ (nsfw, m/f)

Thanks to Doran Eirok for the heads-up on this one. Two beautiful dragons doing some playful mating. A lovely view of the female's soles and really nicely drawn splayed toes of the male.


Gorsha_Pendragon:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17292175/ (nsfw, f)

Pretty simple! This lovely fox lady is showing off all the goods in this pose, which of course include two very dainty cute footpaws. :3


Xpray:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17294349/ (nsfw, f-h)

Lady Xpray taking a very, very sexy looking bath. O_o A very nice look at her thick, meaty soles and cute curled over toes (gotta love those painted toe claws). And um... no complaints about the chest washing either. Nope.


ChokoDonkey:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1056890/caught (nsfw-ish, m)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17292986/

This cute little guy looks awfully embarrassed that you walked in on his sexy pose. Great shot of his footpaws. There is also a more adult version of this that's fully nude and more revealing if you're interested (check out the next picture).


RogueLiger:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17286965 (sfw, m)

RENKI! And yet another tough choice for Most Pawesome, the always sexy Renki showing off his favourite assets in mega detail! Mmmf... wouldn't you just love to burry your face in those foofy, wonderful things?


AuraBeedit:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17304527/ (nsfw, m/f, TCO!)

Aura and her mate in a mystical and beautiful intimate moment. As Aura herself puts it - includes sneaky paw-view. :3 She does SUCH nice paws.


Firefly8083:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17302576/ (nsfw, f)

Wouldn't you love to be out in nature and stumble upon this lovely wolfess showing off. Lovely thick pads and toes, and a bit of a heel pad too.


Tachi:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3.....Sms/view?pli=1

This is a quickly rendered closeup Tachi did for me based on my comment from the third panel of his latest Anza comic; that the pose Kebibi was doing would look great close up. Well... turns out this time around it wasn't so great, so he just did this quick test render, BUT, still worth sharing... 'cause Kebibi has very cute feet. :3 (original comic: http://tchaikovsky2.deviantart.com/.....ungu-548622402)


Xainy:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1...../folfagon-feet (sfw-ish, m)

Ms. Xainy pointed out that I somehow missed this one! BIG Folfagon footpaws! Very nice. :3


Kory:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17300422/ (sfw, m)

A cool lucario character showing off hybrid plantigrade paws (IE, walks digitigrade often on them).


Dream-and-Nightmare:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17305960/ (nsfw, m)

And ONE more Bowser for Bowser-Day! Nighty did a spectacular job on him with those big beefy pecs, poofy orange tufts of fur, and of course, huge, meaty footpaws.


And that's a wrap (finally). Catch y'all Friday!

TC

Why: Because if YOU were a micro, and Renki said "hey - would you like to get on my feet and just... enjoy them?" You would TOTALLY say yes and do just what these lucky guys were! Renki's got such sexy and well kept paws and is always happy to share them with friends. His generosity and creative approach to sharing made this one an easy pick for most pawesome. :)


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17259846/ (sfw, m)

WonderTheFox with a very surprised look on his face - maybe he wasn't expecting to be seen in his Batman boxers. :P At any rate, one very lovely view of his big, beautiful footpaws.


Yaoifairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17240946/ (nsfw, m)

Drood again - showing off some very, very smooth paws (foot and hand paws at that), along with his rather big fun-stick. I think he's wanting you to make a choice. :P


Rukis:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17241481/ (nsfw, m)

The character Luther posing for a tease. Not technically a paw-tease, but his footpaws do show rather nicely in this picture. Oh how sad he'd be with we paw-lovers and pawsexuals only going for his feet. XD


LigerJazz:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17241506/ (nsfw, m/f/m)

Part of a series of consensual vore pictures - this one shows the very cute feet of a canine guy (sorry, not sure what the character names are) about to go down the hatch.


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Adrea.....show-549903973 (sfw, f, art-human)

This time we get to see Adrea and Lynette side-by-side; Restif's two top female models (or Sirens as he likes to call them) next to one another. Both have been rendered with the new genesis 2 models, which have extremely well done feet. What's interesting (to me anyway) is actually seeing the two side by side because you can easily see their feet are different, despite both having the sort of proportions and layout that I'd say puts them in the top 5% of female feet for looks. Both are very attractive looking, though I think I'm still leaning a bit towards Lynette (the one on the left) for my favourite here. :)


Patto:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17259657/ (nsfw, m/f)

We get a nice look here at the females soles during this playful romp. Not sure of the characters' names.


Modem Leolynx & Zharr18 (collab.):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17257813/ (sfw, m)

Zharr18's character about to smoosh his big purdy foot on ya! Modem did he lineart and Zharr coloured it all in and shaded it.


BlondeVelvet:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17255215/ (sfw, f)

The beautiful Veraseral in anthro form, showing off her amazing footpaws. :3 I have known Veraseral for a LONG time now - about 13 years. Wonderful, caring and playful dragon. ^_^


F-R95:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17254828/ (nsfw, f)

I do SO love how those long open-toed stockings draw so much more attention to the big, beautiful sole pads sticking out of them. :3 Very pretty lady, and nice colours too.


Inu-Jean:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17253436/ (nsfw, f/m, macro)

Cynder from Spyro in huge macro-size, showing off her gorgeous and detailed soles! I like the design of them - ball pads, but not toe pads makes them very unique, and Inu-Jean's done a nice job of detailing on the lines in her soles, arch and base of the toes. Oh and... erm... admittedly, very lovely chest too. ^^;


Higsby:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17245313/ (nsfw, m)

This cute dingo is Benig, and first off... what a great taste he has in drinks! Second, what a great pose! Love that his cute footpaw is propped up in pretty much equal offer to his man-canon. I choose paw. Then Whiskey. Mmmm.


Catwolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17250142/ (nsfw, m)

Sexy hybrid character with canine-like paws, but webbed toes! VERY nice! This is the alternate version - the original had a less intense shading and is here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17246772/


Flynx-Flink:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17246115/ (nsfw, m/m)

Two canine males at the moment of a passionate release. We get one very gracious view of the top guys's sole.


Nommz:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1054316/lookit (nsfw, m)

One heck of a noticeable pose to show everyone he's got paws! And they are mega cute... and fuzzy. :P


Xainy:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....g-for-mistress (nsfw-ish, m)

This sexy guy is waiting for his mistress in the most alluring way possible. The pose is great for how nicely it shows off his nice soles.


Syera:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16602282/ (sfw, m)

Thanks to Irreverent the Otter for the heads-up on this one - a very pretty fem-boy type character with lavishly detailed footpaws and pads.


Lipton:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17254792/ (nsfw-ish, f)

And thanks to Reaver666 for the heads up on this one; this lovely lady is presenting her super-fuzzy soles for you, and I like how the pose makes the footpaws the main point of the image while still offering quite a good look at everything else as well. Very cute.



Birthday Artist Highlight:  Catwolf!

When asked if she would do a highlight, she said yes, but asked if I could do it on her birthday, so SURE! I've enjoyed Catwolf's talented work for a while now, and her stuff has certainly been linked in these lists many times before so have a read and learn a bit more about the talented artist behind all those great pictures. :)

Some Q&A

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Catwolf) I've always enjoyed cat and dog paws throughout my life, I think they are adorable and highly aesthetic compared to real human feet. I've come to enjoy drawing plantigrade feet as well since then, but digitigrade paws are still my favorite.

(TC) What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want (say, creepy comments or whatever)?

(Catwolf) I enjoy comments that criticize my work, in a positive or constructive way. Don't be afraid to comment if something looks "off" in one of my pictures. Please don't post creeper comments towards myself a la "I want to suck on your toes". It's okay to say that about the character depicted in the image, but it's NOT okay to address me as a person with such comments/requests.

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Mail?

(Catwolf) I just want to thank you for having me, and I really hope you enjoy my work. It is great to get new people on my page <3

(TC) How did you start drawing, and when/where/how did that end up leading you to the furry fandom?

(Catwolf) I've been drawing ever since I can remember, but got serious with it in my mid-teens with anime style art. When I was 18, my friend Karakina introduced me to furry art and FA. He was kind of a mentor to me for a while, and actually taught me a lot about how to draw animal paws!

(TC) Does your interest for footpaws (if you have one, that is), spill over into real life and humans? Explain.

(Catwolf) It does, but not in a sexual way and not with humans. I still think dog and cat paws are absolutely adorable and I won't pass up a chance to touch them whenever I meet a pet that will let me!

(TC) What about with furries? In that fantasy context, do you have an interest in paws or is it still pretty much the same idea?

(Catwolf) As for furry paws, I do find them interesting in a sexual sense, but much like people tend to enjoy breasts. it's mostly an adoration for their shape, looks and how they (would) feel to touch. I do enjoy images of my characters involved in paw-jobs and paw worship, giving or receiving!

(TC) Given you do a good bit of paw stuff, do you have a particular favourite footpaw/character so far? Who would that be?

(CatWolf) My favorite paws to draw are still digitigrade style canine paws like these: http://i.imgur.com/blpRkd8.jpg. I like being challenged with different paws of course, but canine are hands down my favorite to draw! That aside, I have to admit my favorite character's paws to draw are of Zarus195's character Loki, mainly because I designed his character with him and I think large wide paws like that are adorable and sexy! Well and he's one of my closest friends, so that really influences my answer here too :)

(TC) What is your favourite sort of commission or drawing challenge to get?

(Catwolf) I personally love drawing pin-ups and softcore types of images, as well as just paws-only images. I love to be challenged with new kinds of paws/feet to draw, especially ones that are not as common as feline and canine!

(TC) Do you have any sort of advice for anyone who would like to take up drawing (like where to start, or something that is helpful)?

(Catwolf) DONT QUIT. EVER. I know it's cheesy advice, but sticking with it is the key. If you just got started, there is no shame at all in tracing and copying for practice at first (just don't label and advertise it as your own art). It's a great way to get started and train your hand to draw what your mind wants it to.

(TC) Do you have any particular pet-peeves when it comes to drawing or working as an artist?

(Catwolf) Poorly designed characters with clashing fur colors and crazy patterns. I enjoy creating harmony in an image, and that is REALLY hard to achieve when your character is checkerboard green and pink with yellow dickbutt markings all over it's fur.

(TC) What do you find the most attractive thing in art about anthro characters (can be General, mature, or adult commentary)?

(Catwolf) In general, I just enjoy the incredible variety of styles in furry art. There's a style for everyone and it's a very inclusive community that is open to people from all walks of life.

Thank you very much for taking all the time to answer so many questions, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Catwolf is 27 today, so go wish her a happy birthday if you can, and give her a thank you for all this great feedback!

And.... now onto the usual character highlight...

Artist: Talkstodogs http://www.furaffinity.net/user/talkstodogs (active)

(Hera) Hera doesn’t really have a back story, however she was born as an orphan. She does not know much of her parents. She was born with a gift of at will growth which she discovered as an adult. Her owner is very fond of German Shepherds and collects them.

Commenting on Images: (Hera) I often commission other artists and I enjoy people who like my character. I wish people give the original artist more credit. As far as comments I don’t like, I don’t like when people bring up realism when there’s macro involved. It’s not meant to be real.

Some Q&A

(TC) In all the images we see of Hera, her size seems to vary a lot; is that part of her abilities as a character, or is it more just non-canon imagery?

(Hera) This is one of her abilities and one of her owner's major likes. She can grow at will within limits. She cannot grow larger than then a planet but she can grow big enough to smash entire cities with just her foot. She is playful destructive not caring for who she smashes underfoot, though she would definitely spare any male that can please her.

(TC) Hera's footpaws feature pretty prominently in most of the artwork with her - does she like paws herself, or is it more about forcing hers on others?

(Hera) Hera enjoys forcing her paws onto others, whether same size or larger. She does not care for paws herself though her owner definitely does.

(TC) What are her reactions to micro's that, instead of running, are a little too pleasantly shocked at her beauty (or her paws)? Is she receptive to that, or is that a terrible mistake on their part?

(Hera) She would be receptive. She can be playful and is willing to spare life if they please her. She enjoys getting her feet pampered, paw pads rubbed, toe claws sharpened.

(TC) What are some of her favorite things to do on any given day?

(Hera) She can easily blend in and interact at her small regular size. She is often at the beach sunning herself, but as a macro, she loves crushing cars and buildings. She loves the feeling of the crunch under her body or her foot. She is a carefree girl who likes the outdoors, often playing with cities as her toys.

(TC) Is there anything that Hera really, really hates?

(Hera) Hera does not like other macros and can get easily envious for those that get attention. Her German Shepherd instincts kick in often and wants to be in charge.

(TC) More often than not, we seem to see her in the nude; she doesn't seem shy about her body. Does she have a favorite feature about herself, and why?

(Hera) She is not afraid to show off her assets. She has a wild instinct side of showing off to males. Her favorite feature would be her butt and how she likes to flaunt it.

And there you go! A big thank you to Hera for taking the time to answer all the questions! Now you know if you run into a giant beautiful Hera strolling around that you best admire those nice footpaws 'cause you don't want to be on her bad-list (or toy-list). ;)

And that wraps up today's very big Paw-Mail/Journal... letter... thing. We really should pick a better name for it. :P Have a good weekend everyone! Happy Birthday Catwolf!

TC

HOoOoOoOoT! Temperature hit 31°C today with around 52% humidity. Supposed to be 32°C tomorrow. Gah. This old dragon prefers 15 to 21°C. By the time it hits the 30s, I don't even go outside if I can avoid it. That said though, tomorrow I have a day off and my mate and I are going to meet up with an old highschool buddy of mine and go kayaking at Pinery Provincial Park. At that temperature, I might just be tempted to kayak upside down. >_<

Late Paw-mail again, which seems to be becoming the norm as work days have often been too busy to find time now. And this is a pretty big one for a Tuesday as well! So enjoy!

========================

Most Pawesome Picture
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17207402/ (nsfw, f, charr!)

Artist: Neon (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/neon/)
Character: Nicky Boomer (also owned by Neon)

Why: Because Charr. Specifically because sexy female charr blatantly offering her sexy toes for licking and worship. Yup. Do I need to explain more?


CariFoxLeopard:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17230377/ (nsfw, m)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17230331/ (nsfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17207128/ (nsfw, m/f, TCO!)

First two: It's Foxosexual's character Lane again! I really like this character; he's so unique looking. That extends to his footpaws with bi-coloured pads and that sexy toe-ring on the left one. Really like the second picture as his paws cupped together like that are SO inviting.

Third pic: Cari being lovingly mated by Dareian. This was an attempt at a single layer shaded/coloured piece, so looks a bit different (and good, IMO) style than Cari's usual pictures. Her lovely speckled pads are in view - mind your commentary here though!


Skye:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17220401/ (sfw-ish, m/m, charr!)

Because charr! Loki enjoying the huge footpaws of his mate (in charr form). This is so cool for showing the massive size difference when it comes to charr! Their feet are HUGE. Great details on this one from Skye. And remember... she is OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS folks - get your own picture like this!


Danza:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17235310/ (nsfw, m)

1st pic: BIG girthy dragon guy showing off the goods in a very peaceful forest setting. Pretty big girthy footpaws at that too - lots of nice skin/scale details below the ball pads.


TheWildcoon:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17236033/ (sfw, m)

A nice, simple pose of this happy guy. I like that the pose shows off both a sole view and top view of his footpaws.


Footografo:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Beatr.....ands-549330809 (sfw-sh, f, rl-human)

Another gem from Footografo; the beautiful model Beatrice. A dancer, she's posed for him quite a lot, and this unique shot has a really, really good perspective and point of view! Even if you're not into human feet, this would make an excellent reference shot for a macro or worship pose for sure. For those of you that do like human feet - Beatrice has some pretty darn nice ones. She has a very pretty arch, nice heels and a great amount of skin details along her toes. :) As a dancer, she also does some pretty great toe-splays and crunches. Also... gotta love the massive 12MP resolution. :3


YaoiFairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17200183/ (nsfw, m/f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17237961/ (nsfw, m)

1st pic: Drood getting a little sole and butt attention by a lovely lady! Personally, I don't blame her one bit on the sole thing; Drood has really nice ones. :3

2nd pic: The dangerously cute Kazu, showing off the goods; namely his very wrinkly, cute soles.


VoondahbaYosh:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17205430/ (sfw, m)

Check this out! Chittebengo's character is sort of a proto-bird with scale plating and fur-like protofeathers. And that, of course, means some very big, awesome footpaws.


Nommz:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....pon-his-throne (sfw-ish, m/multiple, macro)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....isurely-stroll (sfw, m, macro)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17237824/

1st pic: You know... if you're gonna be made to worship a paw, might as well be a really nice one! I wouldn't complain. <_<

2nd pic: LoganGrey's character taking a leisurely stroll. Very beautiful head-on view of his sole and toe/ball pads as they come drumming down on some wee city.


TwilightSaint:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....arpened-talons (sfw, m, po)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17238122/

Insanely detailed paw-icon for CosoNostro of his dragon Azuragon. Good gods... look at the detail on those soles! The Ball pad alone would be something I'd love to just sit and gaze it; not every little line and contour. Very neat.


ShinigamiGirl:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....uti-and-bishop (nsfw, m/f)
(alt link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17227763/

Beautifully detailed picture of Krauti and Bishop mating. A nice view of Bishops cute little paw pads.


JammerHighwind:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17224437/ (sfw, m/m/m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17224154/ (sfw, m/m)

1st pic: Pokemon showing off some nice reptilian soles.

2nd pic: Venom starting to tease Tai's sensitive and unique soles. I doubt it'll be long before he snaps, but he does look like he's trying to resist.


Gorsha_Pendragon:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17235071/ (nsfw, m/f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17215286/ (nsfw, f)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1049523/ (nsfw, m/f)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17213045/

Some lovely work from Ms. Pendragon. Her females have such adorable dainty footpaws, don't they?


Tazara:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17223408/ (sfw, m)

Admit it... if you have a tail that epically foofy, you'd be hugging it too. Besides epic tail foof, this cute fox has got some really nice footpaws, and we get a pretty decent peek at the soles. :)


Ekbellatrix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17217443/ (nsfw, m/f)

The always sexy Renki pleasing a lady while enjoying her beautiful foot - SMART man. :3


Gravewalker:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17210249/ (nsfw, f)

Nunf... wow - I don't know about y'all, but I think Gravey's character is incredibly beautiful. She is luscious and so curvy, and of course, has very, very beautiful footpaws. Now I like how she's done this pose to just subtly show off a bit of those nice paws and their soft soles. Just enough to be a tease.


Solaxe (aka BigSol):
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17232137/ (sfw-ish, m/m, macro)

There's ALWAYS a bigger Macro, and he's looming a very attractive (and enormous) set of paw pads over the macro bull. :) Love the pad shape and details here.


Tag (aka Staggard):
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17231987/ (nsfw, m/m)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17208537/ (nsfw, multiple)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17208517/ (nsfw, m)

Yet more gems from Ms. Tag! While pretty much ANY footpaw Tag draws is awesome, special note here to the top left character on the multiple character page, and the last dragon character for being a bit different from the usual paw-types she does. All so big, meaty and wonderful as usual. ^_^


-KronexFire-:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17231155/ (nsfw, m)

BIG badger soles! Or one sole anyway while he relaxes. Nicely detailed out. :)


TideKeeper:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17207151/ (sfw, m)

This effeminate male is showing off one heck of a cool sense of style along with some great big toes and cute soles! :D


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17206833/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)

*snickers* Smawgy just can't get a break. Gotta love how he's clinging to that post! But hey, he's got extremely cute footpaws so... kinda damns him to this sorta thing when living in Foxy's world.


And that's it for today! Have a good week everyone. :)

TC

*growf*

LATE! Oh my, late today - sorry all, but this afternoon we headed over to St. Thomas for my mate's Grandson's birthday. Yes... TC is a step-grandpa of sorts. Scary thought, isn't it? Anyway! We didn't get back until a bit after 9pm.

SO! Thank you all so much for all the concern and kind words about Shady whether in journals or privately - we really appreciated everyone's kindness. I'm happy to report he is doing VERY well. The extra tests for cancer, gland problems and cortisone issues all came back negative, which pretty much points the finger back at food poisoning of some kind. While a bit off the first couple days back, he's gotten back to his usual self now and we're very happy to see he's okay! The pet insurance we have (Trupanion - http://trupanion.com/canada) covered 90% of the costs and actually notified us that the cheque was in the mail already. VERY good company to go with if ever you were looking into pet insurance.

Alright, so enough talk - on with the Paw Mail before Friday's gone!

1st pic: A gorgeous collie girl in heat, showing you want she wants... only for us paw-lowers, those big, plush soles are a HECK of a distraction.

2nd pic: A very sweet couple picture - cuddling on the cough. I really like the footpaw atop the other here; a wonderful feeling to share with a mate or friend. ^_^

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17174033/ (nsfw, f/h)

1st pic: Judging by the smile on the knight's face, he's a fan of big, sexy dragon footpaws; that and he's probably not all that inspired to try the whole "dragon slaying" thing on seeing what's going on with his friends.

2nd pic: Carcar getting to enjoy a very lovely herm griffin, and us getting a lovely view of the griffin's hind footpaws.

F-SS:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17170323/ (nsfw, m/m)

Footpaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17195141/ (sfw-ish, m/m)

VampireKitty:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17194164/ (nsfw, m, charr!)

Because Charr. Loki-charr posing all sexy for his mate. He recently took an eye injury, hence the patch. Check out that big left footpaw - such an amazing sole!

Work Samples (with comments from Aeon):
1. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16998929/ <- this is the exotic paw raffle of mine. This is one of my favorite pictures not only because of the paws but because there was many different ways they are used. I love variety...and i hate to recreate the same image over and over, so this was a fun one :3

2. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/14781046/ <- This is my favorite traditional image of mine, featuring my good friend Jayzen where we are all bound up and soles exposed. I did traditional for a while because my computer was broken and all I had to me was paper, but it is easily my most popular image and for good reason...X///3

3. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13951206/ <-this is the paw pillow image...this was a very simple but fun picture to draw and I hope i can make more original images just like this one X3 lately I been very busy with my other jobs however so art has to slow down at least for a little while.

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6834663/


Some Q&A:

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Aeon) I believe I have a full fledged foot/paw fetish, and this has been this way from ever since i can remember. I love everything about them, and i do mean everything and i enjoy them in real life and in artistic media alike. What should be noted however is if I do behave in a digital furry roleplaying setting one way,it wont necessarily reflect how i would behave in a real life scenario. (truth be told i am quite introverted and I dont normally go out of my way to socialize and pursue such adventures outside of the furry world)

As for drawing them, at first it was a way to get myself noticed in the art community as the very common story of a starving artist with some speck of talent trying to afford a means of living, was desperate and had to draw something that would get attention. I had a foot fetish and I knew that some members in this community did as well...so i thought i would shoot for that audience and it worked. I got attention but not enough to sustain myself with so i took a break for a while to get my life back in order. Now I draw it for fun and practice and when it comes to my more adult themed artworks, i treat that like i would cooking, it is the greatest feeling for me when the viewer enjoys the artwork i make and find them satisfactory to their needs...whatever that might be.

(TC) What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want?

(Aeon) I understand that my artworks can be provocative (and purposefully so) and as such, its perfectly fine telling me "this is hot and i fap to this" or whatever words you want to describe your reaction to this image. I don't however like people trying to initiate an RP session in the comments or in public view as to me that's something that needs to be held in private. So while acceptable with other places i kindly ask that whoever sees my artwork and finds themselves needing to get their online freak on, do so somewhere we all cannot see. Also as an artist, i love critique and as a professional...kind(Aeon) ..person I want to always improve.

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Mail?

(Aeon) Thanks for having me around and dealing with my general annoying behavior~ If you have crazy ideas and you wanna share them to me let me know as i like drawing complicated and weird things XD

(TC) How did you start drawing, and when/where/how did that end up leading you to the furry fandom?

(Aeon) I started drawing at a very young age and i loved it, drawing cartoons and video game characters. What should be noted is that I was very reluctant at first to draw anything fetish or adult related as i found those images shameful (while still enjoying them in secret) but now i am older and realize that this mentality was holding me back and i rather enjoy the art i make.

(TC) Do you have a particular favourite sort of footpaw you like to draw, and why is that?

(Aeon) Interesting question. when it comes to drawing paws, i like drawing those of my friends that also happen to enjoy paws as well. Personal connection over art we can all enjoy is a big thing with me :3

(TC) Does your interest for footpaws (if you have one, that is), spill over into real life and humans? Explain.

(Aeon) That goes back to my behavior in the digital furry world vs my real life self. In the furry world i will be very blunt as to whos paws I like and will let that person behind the sona know that I do. As for real life i have many jobs and I am very professional, usually only stating i draw paws and stuff to the appropriate company. (like good friends or other furries i may happen to meet) Also in both worlds i am very curious about the world and I am always open to possibilities. I will let you interpret that as you may.

(TC) What is your favorite sort of commission or drawing challenge to get?

(Aeon) I like being asked to draw fresh ideas that haven't been done before. Maybe a persons sona, or a particular kind of paw or what have you.

(TC) Do you have any sort of advice for anyone who would like to take up drawing (like where to start, or something that is helpful)?

(Aeon) Draw anything that comes to mind, and draw alot. even if its the most stupid or disturbing idea ever you should be drawing to get better. Art is art and as long as your ideas are legal and they don't hurt anybody its all good with me. True fact, most of my YCHs are sketches of interesting scenarios and i let you guys in on the fun for free art, its good practice for me and fun for you guys :3

(TC) Do you have any particular pet-peeves when it comes to drawing or working as an artist?

(Aeon) I dont think i really have any...

(TC) What do you find the most attractive thing in art about anthro characters (can be General, mature, or adult commentary)?

(Aeon) Generally speaking I love the fact this community allows you to create any kind of character you want for whatever you want. Unlimited artistic freedom is huge with me and the result is usually spectacular concepts and ideas. (And some pretty out there ideas) Also when i first joined the fandom, it was because I found a fictional piece of art featuring weird animal people arousing more so than i did actual pornographic material.

Tadda! So if you haven't already given Aeon a watch, check out his awesome stuff! Thanks much for answering ALL the questions to Aeon - even every optional one! Have a good weekend everyone!

*growf*

Ooof... not the greatest of weekends for me; our dog, Shady, fell ill. (warning, some blunt details ahead) He started vomiting Saturday afternoon, which is unusual for him. He's a big black hunting lab, and in the 6 years we've had him, I think I've only ever seen him throw up once. Not long after he did, he went and had a big drink from his water dish, then minutes later, threw that all up too. We gave him half a gravol (safe to give dogs) to calm his stomach, and he slept for a while (he'd already been pretty lethargic that day, also unusual. He seemed to avoid food. Later that night before bed, he threw up again, and in the time between, started having diarrhea. He was let out at 3am, and then my mate was up again at 7am to use the bathroom - all clear. When we got up at 9am though, the dining room was a mess - he had thrown up four more times, and exploded out the back end too. >_< Sidenote; that is a really harsh way to start the morning.

My folks called as usual on a Sunday morning and we talked a bit until part way through Shady (who had tried a little bit of water) threw up again, and this time it looked like there was a hint of blood in it. We had already been saying we should get him to emergency, and that was it - I ended the call with my folks and decided to get him there right away.

Problem is that London's got like one 24/7 animal clinic and it was busy - sadly, there were a lot of emergency life-or-death situations going on with dogs, and it was almost 4 hours before a vet could finally look at Shady. :( During that time he was pretty down; no more explosions, but then, there was nothing left in him. They did an X-ray on him and Blood-test. Both showed no major issues, but the X-ray showed he did have some gas in his intestines and the blood-test confirmed he was getting dehydrated.

They put him on an IV to re-hydrate him and give him meds since he couldn't keep stuff down, and had to keep him overnight. Yesterday we got multiple calls to update us, and we went to visit him at the end of the day - he was doing a lot better, but they still were doing tests to see if they could determine what was wrong. The most likely thing was some sort of food-poisoning. He treats the back-yard's wild plants as a giant salad (he is a lab, after all) and who knows - one bit of fungus on a leaf could have done it. Detecting food poisoning after the fact though is nearly impossible. Instead they're trying to rule out anything more serious. They wanted to keep him at least another night, poor guy.

So today the news so far is that the tests are coming back pretty positive. The only possible concern is his cortisone levels, which they're doing another test on to see if his adrenal gland is producing enough properly or not - if not, it's very treatable. The good news is, he'll be set to come home tonight once I'm done work. ^_^ Poor guy is going to be so glad to be back, even the cat seems to be missing him (though also enjoying the fact he can sneak out and misbehave without the dog there to stop him). XD

I'm glad he looks like he'll be okay - there's nothing worse than watching your friend suffering and not being able to do much. :(

Alright... let's get on with some overall happier stuff here. :)

Artist:  CariFoxLeopard

Characters:
Renki: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/renki-blackwolf
Aurawolf: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/aurawolf
Snownsurf: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/snownsurf

Why: Because face-full of Renki sole! Yup. Snownsurf's the lucky one here in my opinion for getting to have his muzzle buried in Renki's awesome big sole and toe pads. It wasn't until the second time I looked at it that I noticed Renki's Tail-maw. O_o Erm... handy thing, I suppose! But seriously, part of the charm here is that Renki is such a nice guy, and he'd be very happy doing this kinda thing for them. And I don't think I can overstate here how awesome Renki's feet are - go look through his gallery if you don't believe me.


FurryRatchet:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17134596/ (nsfw, m/m)

Daww... a very romantic bunny-ride here! And a bunny with paw-pads at that. As per usual, FurryRatchet's got a hi-res version on his InkBunny site (link in the desc.).


AeonAngelus:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17134964/ (nsfw-ish, m)

A new (way too) adorable character from Aeon - a nice close up of him posing those nice footpaws and very soft looking pads for everyone to admire (and want).

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17151532/ (nsfw, m)

First off, a big thanks to Tag for pointing this artist out for us. :)

1st pic: Soviet fur on the beach, showing off some very sexy paws and buns! There's a "in Soviet Russia..." joke in here somewhere. XD

2nd pic: OOPS! What an unexpected shock - his swim trunks have fallen off! At any rate, it's that cute little bit of sole he's showing off that we're all staring at anyway. :P


AuraBeedit:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17160029/ (nsfw, m/f, TCO!)

Normally I wouldn't post a purely paw-job only picture as this is a list of my personal pics, and I personally don't like paw-jobs, however, this footpaw is just way, way too well drawn to not post here! This is Aura's personal character pleasuring the character of her real life BF, so please no creepy/suggestive commenting on this one if you do. Just enjoy how darn well it's done!


Spelunker_Sal:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17157318/ (nsfw, m/m)

CarCar has all the luck with paws - here he's getting to enjoy one very lovely looking sole (and cool colour patterns on that dragon too.


KampferWolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17165264/ (sfw, m)

Baltis playing some video games, even though the real show is his busy toes with the controller cable! I could watch that for hours. :3

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17163336/ (nsfw, multiple characters)
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....4767/just-paws (sfw, m, po)

1st pic: The first of several digital sketch sheets Tag did at AC. Lots of paws in this one including some very amazing reaching/grabby Renki feets! Keep an eye on the character owner's pages for the full size originals.

2nd pic: A gloriously large and high quality close up of Dannydumal's sexy feet on Weasyl. Original picture was from a while back, but... paw close up! And for those not yet aware - the quality of Weasyl's pictures are much better than FA, so great for big ones like this.


KadoHusky:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17161181/ (nsfw, m)

WhiteFoxy94's character Asura enjoying some self-service time in the woods, propped up in such a way so to show off his delightfully fuzzy soles and pads. :)

This cute kitty named Mestiso is showing off his lovely speckled paw pads here. :)


Foxypaws:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17142197/ (sfw-ish, m/m)

Foxy rubbing around some gold coins on Maxx's chest. Is it me or does Maxx pretty much like anything that people do to him? *chuckles* Anyway, great show between Max's big toes, and a very unique pose for Foxy where we get to see his cute feet propped up teasingly as well.


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Lynet.....ying-547321451 (sfw, f, art-human)

Restif continues to rework his lovely sirens into the Genesis 2 model system. Here we have Lynette again in a very lovely foot-centric picture. Excellent job on the modelling of these ladies; their feet are just amazing for renders.


EC-Major:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Solar.....esty-281697799 (nsfw, f)

This is an update of an older image, but oh my - SO worth showing again; Major's gorgeous Sphinx character. This is just one of those character designs were you just look in awe at how much thought and attention to detail has gone into this lady. She is absolutely stunning no matter where or what you're looking at, but of course, when you're eyes fall to those hind footpaws... WOW. Major does incredible paws, and these are among the finest in his gallery.


And that's all I got for today! Catch ya Friday. :)

TC

*growf*

Happy Friday all! Apologies for another later than wanted Paw-Mail, but today is for a bit of an alternate reason - I was waiting to see if the Character Highlight owner was able to get back to me in time or not. While interested and wanting to do so, it seems I'm not going to get the response in time, and don't want to wait any longer to post this. :/

SO... for that reason, I'm going to take VampireKitty up on her advice and feature one of my beloved charr characters. So, it's a bit different a character highlight than usual, but I hope you still enjoy it. Sometimes I can't do much about lack-of-responses. :/

Anyway, here we go:

Artist: Tag (aka Staggard)
Characters: Nargacuga (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/dargon), and Kenvey (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kenvey)

Why: I'm starting to think the "why" bit here is kinda "duh!" most of the time 'cause I think this is pretty obvious! Both of these guys have really sexy footpaws, and lucky Kenvey is getting to enjoy some big sexy Cuga sole at point-blank in the best way possible! And because Tag is FREAKEN AWESOME, she has provided a lovely close up of that big Cuga-sole to enjoy. So woo! First "Most Pawesome" with a close-up pic! <3 Thank you Tag.


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17129123/ (nsfw, m, ref)

Cool reference of a neat looking character with antennas and bi-coloured paw-pads! Very original looking - also love that toe ring he's wearing.


VampireKitty:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17119152/ (sfw, f)

Awesome action shot from the result of one of VK's YCH auctions. This also demonstrates the danger of an MMA fight when you love paws; a normal person sees that and goes "Oh snap!" and gets out of the way. We see that and go "Oh wow... beautiful sole! *SMACK*" Yup.

1st pic: Heeeeee! Cute - Iko's expression is just adorable, and she's a neat looking character with very busty proportions, yet tiny cute little footpaws.

2nd pic: The immensely buff and beautiful Cerine, looking pretty confident about how her game's going. Love how her giant (and admittedly amazing) breasts are a total non-issue. Of course, she's got one footpaw kicked out and in view looking just as big, buff and awesome as the rest of her.


Ryoken:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1039555/rook (nsfw, m/m)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17117238/

Rook pounding Fiend with a little added gear. We get one lovely look at Fiend's footpaws (and so does Rook if he likes that sort of thing). Weasyl one is much higher quality (as it usually tends to be).


Deezmo:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17116927/ (nsfw, m/f)

Aragohm about to get a bondage lovin' session from Deezmo's dragonness. One spectacular view of Aragohm's right footpaw, which has lovely skin details between his toes. This is actually one of a series of pictures


CatWolf:

FEETS! Man, I love it when modem does his paw-portraits. :3 Here we have the awesome paws of Thoren (1st pic) and Zeus in the second picture. REALLY like the Zeus ones. :3 Not just amazing pad details, but the pose has such a nice splay to the toes, and enough of an arch to make those delightful wrinkles on the sole below the ball pad. Mmmf... just divine!

The beautiful vixen Foshu - and may, what big, beautiful footpaws she has! Big ears too!


Character Highlight: Trissa Jadeclaw!

Again - big of a different highlight here; due to not getting a response in time from the person that was to be highlighted today, I'm going to highlight one of my charr characters for y'all. (I'm sure with how my luck works, I'll get the response moments after sending the paw mail, heh).

Picture Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16814395/ (sfw)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17046209/ (sfw - centre sketch)


Background: The early parts of Trissa's life were, for the most part, pretty normal by charr standards. She was one of five cubs in her litter, had a mother who was an Ash Legion Captain and Warrior. Her father did not stick around much after mating with her mother - an act of passion, more than any bond, so she knew little of him. Then again, she knew little of her mother either since she and her siblings were handed off to a fahrar in traditional charr fashion when she was about 11 months old..

As she grew up and trained, her natural affinity towards nature, animals and superb tracking skills made her seem a natural for the Ranger profession, and she embraced it with passion. The years slipping by, and she did well in all her endeavours, finding she was best a the long bow and greatsword. By the time she entered her teens, she was often helping in training the younger cubs, and taking on minor fahrar duties. By the age of 16, she was on a minor mission with several other of her fahrar warband - a mission that was supposed to be in a relatively safe area near Smokestead. Unbeknownst to her and the adults of the fahrar, Flame Legion spies had set up patrols to watch for young females to capture and take back as slaves.

They did not see the attack coming, and before they knew it, they were surrounded by Flame Legion soldiers. They were not well armed, or armoured. Two males with them tried to fight, but the Flame Legion slew them, and took the remaining four females (including Trissa) back to their camp. They were to cook, clean, and "tend" the males. And those who were passive and fertile, would be used to bear the cubs of the Flame Legion.

Trissa's imprisonment lasted over three long years. Her proficient cooking skills were quickly put to use, as were her abilities to train animals and maintain swords and bows. Her attitude, however, frequently got her in trouble. She was strong willed, fearless - and never backed down from the males. She was also fiercely protective of the other females, doing her best to keep the males away from them, and often redirect their punishments to herself.

She was often beaten, whipped, cut, burned - tortured in whatever way it took for the males to feel some worthless sense of power and control… and more importantly, to keep their wrath from her friends. She would do her best to retreat into her mind, think of the most pleasurable, arousing and wonderful fantasies and play them out as livid and strong as she could during her punishments as a form of escape. Over time, it caused her brain to re-wire itself, linking pain and pleasure in a way that would leave her a masochist even after her escape, though it is an aspect of herself she keeps very private.

Her strong will, however, meant she was not what the Flame Legion wanted for a breeding female, and despite her desperate efforts, that horrible fate befell her friends and other female with them. As the ultimate punishment for her defiance, a Flame Shaman used to spell to forever make her barren.

Her own fate would have been even worse with their growing dislike of her defiance, but in early 1315AE, the Black Citadel was able to find the hidden camp and mount an assault. The camp was surrounded by small tanks and mortars set up by the Iron Legion, lad by Centurion Primus Zrahelim, who's Ranger mate Anu had found the Flame position. Trissa and the other females were liberated, and the young cubs taken to be raised in a proper fahrar and proper education.

Now 19, soon to be 20, Trissa joined up in full with the Ash Legion and set about on as many missions as she could to take on Flame Legion problems head-on. She attained the rank of Legionnaire in in 1321. Her ferocity and resolve had only grown stronger, and it continued for several years despite being haunted by the years of abuse at the hands of the rogue faction. She was unaware of just how much it affected her until in 1322 she got word that one of her warband sisters who had been imprisoned with her was badly injured in an attack in which she had tried to commit suicide by giving herself up to the enemy.

Trissa often visited the medical ward barracks to try and spend as much time with her as she could, talk to her, help her, and in doing so, she began to talk to others as well. It became shockingly apparent that the emotional scars of ordeals like theirs were far worse than physical scars. She asked for a leave from active duty, and took up a new effort to assist in the wards - helping battered, broken charr mind their minds as much as their bodies, finding that she had a natural knack for reading people, and knowing how to help them.

In 1328, she met the most unlikely of people who would eventually become her most devoted mate. While she had had many relationships on and off over the years, male or female, most were more for fun than anything else. While helping a beautiful young charr named Meera Scortchpaw recover from both injury and trauma from the Flame Legion, she came to know a human named Ariela Deltrii - a former separatist now living in the Citadel, aligned to the High Legions. Ariela's devotion as a friend and fellow soldier to Meera was fierce and powerful. Meera was well known as a tease and flirt, and more than once, males were a little too interested in her presence. The little human fought them back, and would not leave the side of her friend. In the two days Meera's recovery took, Trissa and Ariela talked a lot, and the more she talked with the human, the more she really liked her.

Around the time of the Meera incident, Trissa also returned to active duty, having set up a network of charr in the ward over the years who specialized in helping with trauma. Torga Desertgrave, the Ash Tribune assigned to Trissa's command, felt it was time for her to return to what she was best at. After a number of very successful missions, Trissa was awarded the rank of Centurion in mid Q1 of 1328.

In the weeks that followed, she would find that Ariela felt strongly about her as well. As they were both pansexuals, eventually (albeit through much nervous consideration), Trissa decided to ask the human if she wanted to explore more than just friendship, and Ariela agreed. They became mates, and though they both are poly-amorous, the relationship has been mostly closed until meeting Kai Frostfang in mid 1328. After helping Kai with past trauma regarding the loss of his own human mate, he became a close knit mate along with Ariela - an unexpected, but welcome outcome.


Personality: Trissa is a very casual charr. She does not wear elaborate armour, preferring what looks more like thrown-together leather bits and pieces to form her long coat and camouflage. She does not stress easily in most situations, and tends to, if anything, speak with a wry wit, even when it's perhaps not the most appropriate timing. That can make her a bit of a troll at times - loving to play up on any word-slips or weaknesses of friends, but never to the point of hurting them. She is also deeply compassionate and caring. Despite the rugged looking exterior, her ability to know when someone is hurting, emotionally and mentally, will prompt her to try and help in whatever way she can. She has much wisdom from her years, and tends to be very good in relating to others. She is also a bit of a tease - for those close to her, she is quiet willing to be playful, knowing she's got the looks to pull it off.


Footpaws: Trissa takes VERY good care of her footpaws, and they are quite beautifiul. Her ankles bare scars from the shackles used when she was s Flame Legion slave (as such much of her body), but her feet are untouched otherwise. She personally does not have a thing for footpaws, but her human mate Ariela certainly does, and she is delighted to be able to allow her mate to enjoy them in whatever way she wants. She is also happy to share them with Tyria's most infamous visitor dragon, Sera (who is a common appearance in our personal lore). While not personally being into feet, she does also enjoy getting them massaged by Ariela or Kai, and finds the passionate pampering she gets from Sera to be quite a soothing if not unique massage.


And that's it for today! If you play GW2 on North American servers, you may just run into Trissa. (as well as Ariela and Kai)! Have a save and fun weekend everyone.

Okay, first things first, PLUTO FLY BY! \(^o^)/

(Edit: As of tonight, NASA has confirmed successful fly-by - WE DID IT!)

I'm a huge science geek and astronomy is a big interest of mine. I'm also old enough that when I was a little kid, most books had no good pictures of any of the planets beyond the blurry crap we could take through telescopes of the day. I watched in awe as Voyagers 1 and 2 beamed back pictures of Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and later would go on to Uranus and Neptune. To see it all change from blurry pictures was amazing.

Pluto, however, was not in the right position for either of the Voyagers to visit, so remained a mystery. Now we are finally getting to see what it looks like, and this is an ASTOUNDING feat. Pluto is so far out there that it takes the speed of light 4.5 hours to make it there. And while Pluto may not be regarded as the last planet anymore, we know it's one of many dwarf planets that exist on the edge of our solar system, so to get to see it in absolute clarity and understand something THAT far away is amazing.

First, to understand why this is just incredible, have a look at this video that explains it very well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR9QewcOdZs#t=13

Second, to get the latest pictures, go to the link below, but keep in mind three important facts:

1) When doing the Fly-by, New Horizons will be pointed away from Earth focusing all instruments on Pluto and it's moons. It will passing by at almost 10 miles per second, so it has only a short time to take as many pictures and readings as possible.

2) The signal from New Horizons will take 4.5 hours to reach Earth, and even then you don't exactly get 4G data speeds. More like... 1980s MODEM speeds. It will take a long time to pull the first images off. In fact, they estimate that it will take until early 2016 to get all the data off of New Horizons after the encounter. We'll likely see the best pictures a day or two after it passes Pluto. If it survives because...

3) It will be passing the equatorial boundary of the planet through the orbital path of the moon Charon. This was the best hope of a clear path because at 10 miles per second, hitting something the size of a pin head would be like getting hit by a cannon ball, and will destroy the probe. So... let's hope that doesn't happen! Check this site out of the latest images:

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/n.....ain/index.html

Also, what a crazy morning - we had two power-failures at the campus, one being about 10 minutes long (which is really bad). Then meetings in the afternoon, so busy day again. Taking tomorrow off though hopefully to get some more kayaking in. :D

Artist: Rukaisho
Characters: Jubilee (owned by Rukaisho), and Jay (owned by https://www.furaffinity.net/user/wesker10)

Why: Well first off, Jubilee is GORGEOUS. Of all the ways to play a paw-lover to their fullest, this is just... gugh... shiver-inducing because whether Jay looks left or right, Jubilee's incredibly sexy soles are RIGHT there, accented so nicely by those cool open-toed socks. Plus... they're RIGHT there to even be touched or to lean down and plant his snout in. That is just SUCH an awesome tease and turn on, all while she buns him. XD


CariFoxLeopard: ( yep... still nearly always the start of any paw-mail) :P

More gems from Cari! The first one I just adore; what a great view of those big sexy paws while this guy watches TV! Well okay, view of more than just paws, but my eyes aren't wandering much past the paws. :P In the second - lemonade and summer are AWESOME combos. Throw in some nice paws, and all the better!

Smaugy getting to enjoy (or being forced to anyway) Maxx's big meaty feet, which Foxy himself seems quite happy too. Foxy also rendered some 3D versions of these!


Yaoifairy:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17069518/ (nsfw, mx4)

Feral wolf fun for these two druids - really love the footpaws on the one on the right! Lovely soft and plushy looking pads.


Rooc (aka Fly):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17101289/ (nsfw, m/m)

Enjoying the scent of a skunk's cute footpaws. The paws of the blindfolded guy are the real gems here though - really great looking proportions and how cute is that one pink toe? :)

1st pic: A little cooking in the kitchen.... so to speak. :3 I really like the pose of the female here; if the male were into paws, he has only to lean his snout over to enjoy those sexy little feet of hers. Great stuff. ^_^

2nd pic: A really big and detailed solo pic with a stunning side profile, and great look at this lovely ladies footpaws and sole pads. This is so nicely drawn and lit.

Everna & Prescylla, with Everna doing the licking! Lovely dragonness feet on both their parts, with Everna certainly getting the better end of the deal.


Scream:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17093262/ (nsfw, f)

The beautiful Hera in all her giant glory! I dunno... I'd find it really hard to be mad at anything that beautiful with giant footpaws that attractive. :P Very much like this character - those big paws of her feature in nearly all pictures of her.


Tsaiwolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17092734/ (sfw, m)

How mesmerizing would it be to sit and watch this guy do pull-ups bringing his cute sole pads into view each time! :3


Teaselbone:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17086270/ (nsfw-ish, m/f)

Wow... check out the awesome thick ball pads on that tiger! Those would be wonderful paws to get a close look at, but... better wait until this growth-spurt is done.

1st pic: Looks like this big Roo-stud wants you to get to work paying a little respect to his huge feet. Chop chop!

2nd pic: This canine has some unique fully soled feet, and looks like he wants them tended... or admired - good either way!


RobinTheFox:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17076454/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)

Greer and Mahingan face off in a foot-sniffing contest, and I don't think Mahingan's going to win this one. Both males have very attractive feet, but there are few out there who can compare to the carefully seasoned scent of our favourite rock python.


Footografo:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Behin.....Tree-545920208 (sfw, f, rl-human)

A gorgeous shot of the foot of Alessandra. This lady has one incredibly beautiful sole - thick, meaty and with such a lovely shape to the toes (at least from what we can see sole-view). Her baby toe (the one that often makes/breaks a human foot for me) is just perfect in size and shape. What a treat that would be to see peeking around a tree trunk in the park. ^_^


And that's it for today! Enjoy everyone, and catch you for Friday's paw-mail.

First.... comedy:

Heeeeeeeeeeee. If you haven't seen Tsaoshin's work before, particularly her Grumpy Cat / Disney stuff... GO LOOK!

So a super-late Paw-Mail/journal today. Was a retarded day - first time work has ever booked me in a 3 HOUR long meeting. And that was one of several meetings of the day. I wonder when businesses will finally clue into the fact that meetings mean no work is getting done? Or... paw-mails in this case. XD

So, let's get started.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17064461/ (sfw, m, charr!, po)

Artist:  VampireKitty
Chararacter: Kai Frostfang (owned by VampireKitty)

Why: Because charr! I had the privilege of seeing this as a rough sketch, and I had secretly hoped that instant that VK would finish it, and oh my... did she ever! These are the huge footpaws of her charr character Kai Frostfang, whom I have had the pleasure of role playing with in Guild Wars 2. Kai's paws are just huge, well-cared-for, wonderful things, and this picture SO perfectly shows that it awesome size and detail. So... maybe a bit of bias here, but these big, sexy paws are just the most pawesome thing for me in this mail/journal. ^_^


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17064633/ (sfw-ish, m/m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17064605/ (sfw, f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17064616/ (sfw, f, po)

1st one: Another plain and simple (and awesome) enjoyment of footpaws! Cute chubby bunny getting to savour the paws of his friend. :)

Other ones: NEAT! The feral Eagle feet of Annie! Now this I find pretty neat because feral eagle feet are not easy to do and make look so good. Cari's done a really great job of this on both pictures. There's even a version with special feral-boots: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17064611/. Pretty cool. :)


Gorsha_Pendragon:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17041397/ (nsfw, f/f)

Two beautiful fox ladies enjoying a romantic bath. Some very trippy markings on the orange/white one, particularly in how the tattoos go around the areola of her breasts. She's also got one foot lifted up to offer up a gorgeous view of her sole.


Twinkle-Sez:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17038790/ (nsfw, m/m)

Two guys having fun on the town! And this, to me, is the best footpaw picture Twinkle-Sez has done yet! While not specifically paw-centric, it offers up a very good view of the white-canine's sole, and it's very well drawn.


Danza:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17038553/ (nsfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17057240/ (nsfw, m)

1st pic: So... who wants to go help him lotion up? :3 One hard-to-miss giant meat-stick on this guy, but also two very big, beefy paws!

2nd pic: A shaded and lit version of a flat pic Danza did a while back - BIG meaty footpaws on this dragon.


KolebeJack:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17058901/ (sfw, m)

This cute hybrid (fox and coon, I think) is giving his feet a rub before (or maybe after?) a run. Nicely drawn fuzzy soles!


NecroDrone13:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17058883/ (nsfw, m/f)

Necro does like to taunt her toys. A lovely view once again of her very thick padded footpaws, along with the cute little pads of the puppy she's working on.


Dreiker:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17058222/ (nsfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17058003/ (nsfw, m)

A couple nice pictures here! First a nice dragon showing off his bi-coloured soles and a wee bit more, and the second being some sort of interesting hybrid creature in a very nice pose that not only shows off his soles, but a lovely back and shapely bottom. Man that was a long sentence. XD


Rokemi:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17058391/ (nsfw, f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17066818/ (nsfw, m/f)

1st pic: This unique and awesome looking lady is showing herself off in one very teasing pose which also highlights her huge footpaws and lovely soles. :) Love the look of her face too - such cool markings and style.

2nd pic: Nnnf... wow. ^_^ Another one of those perfect moments of just enjoying your love's beautiful sole and toes.


Kashmere:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17046629/ (nsfw, m)
(alt. link): https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....y-auction-ef21
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17048108/ (sfw, f)
(alt. link): https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....y-purple-pesky

Two very beautifully done character side-shots in the infamous "the pose". ^_^ In both, Kashmere's done an amazing job with the footpaw details, but perhaps most so with the first picture. Those canine paws are just amazing! Such big thick toes and pads, and really amazing detail to them, fur, pads, claws, shape... all very perfect.


Keihound:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17044701/ (nsfw, m/f)

A very pretty female border collie giving her male partner a little tongue-related pleasure. Offers up a nice view of the female's footpaws.


SweetPupperoo:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17044584/ (nsfw, m/f)

A dragon/sergal/fox mating with what appears to be a very unique female bat. Check out the pads on her! Very nice footpaws on both them.


Teaselbone:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17043948/ (nsfw, f, macro)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17043896/ (nsfw-ish, f, macro)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17065285/ (nsfw, f, macro)

First two: Hera the beautiful macro canine lady in a couple neat poses. One being something I don't think I've seen before - a building paw-smoosh. Now isn't that WAY better than the usual detonation/demolition of a building?! The other being a very cool angle of her passing by. This offers up a less common look at her nice heel and mid-sole.

Last one: Sekvra stomping away and apparently snatching up a smaller macro in her huge, gorgeous toes. I guess it happens when you got macro's of varied sizes busily stomping about!


Incorgnito:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17062653/ (nsfw, m/m)

Looks like the guy standing is getting to enjoy the nice paw-scent of his buddy while getting a little oral attention. Really great looking digitigrade style paw on his friend too!


Truegrave9:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17061789/ (nsfw, f)

Lovely lady playing off a little training-dress tease. Great shot of her big, beautiful hind footpaws.


Gravewalker:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....alluring-leeah (nsfw, f)

Ooh wow... what a sexy looking lizard lady! Love the build on her, and check out the huge soles. :3 Gravey's got her posed to show a relaxed foot and one scrunching the toes - beautiful! Cool markings on her too.

AuraBeedit:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17068759/ (sfw, m, po)

Awwww... a very nice conclusion to a YCH paw auction! Very big and yummy toes on a cute paw.

Some Q&A:

(TC) What sort of interest in footpaws do you have (if any - and feel free to explain maybe why you like drawing them)?

(Xainy) It's not a sexual thing, but how cute are footpaws?? I like how squishy they are. That's probably the main reason I like drawing them, as well. There's just a lot of adorableness factor to be had there and so many species have different paw types, so there's a lot of variety, as well.

(TC) What type of commentary do you like on your work? What sort of comments do you not like, or don't want (say, creepy comments or whatever)?

(Xainy) I'm not a fan of the types of comments that could make myself or my commissioners uncomfortable, which includes anything overtly violent or sexual toward myself or the characters involved. If the commissioner accepts and desires RP, I'd prefer it to take place on their page/in private rather than my submissions! I enjoy comments directed toward the merit of the work [even constructive criticisms]. Though any sort of comment [excluding the aforementioned no-no's] always makes me smile!

(TC) Do you have anything you'd like to personally say to the folks in the Paw-Mail?

(Xainy) I guess thanks for being interested in paws! I get to draw quite a lot of them lately and I really enjoy it, so I'm glad there's an audience to enjoy it with me.

(TC) How did you start drawing, and when/where/how did that end up leading you to the furry fandom?

(Xainy) I started drawing when I was a kid, even drew what I came to know later were furries. I mostly drew horses, though [I really wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up]. When I was 14, I decided that art was what I wanted to do with my life [gave up my cowboy dreams] and started working harder to improve and hone my talents. I had a feral/quadruped wolf character, which led to me finding DarkNatasha, Goldenwolf, Vantid, Thornwolf, etc. That kind of segued into furry art as well when I found Huskie666 and others.

(TC) Do you have a particular favourite sort of footpaw to draw, and why is that?

(Xainy) Oh, I'm not sure! Kangaroo maybe, they have some very unique feet. I also really enjoy drawing hooves, though I'm not sure this is the group to talk about that. ;)

(TC) Does your interest for footpaws (if you have one, that is), spill over into real life and humans? Explain.

(Xainy) Kind of a weird question for me to answer but I'm going to go for it anyway, haha. I actually dated someone with a foot fetish a couple years back and that kind of got me into enjoying foot fetishists, if that makes sense. Privately, I like being the worshipee, not the worshiper. :P

(TC) What is your favourite sort of commission or drawing challenge to get?

(Xainy) I love any sort of challenge, whether it's a commission where I have to draw an automobile or just a complex action pose I've never tried before. Sometimes, I seem to bite off more than I can chew and need to partially refund a commission or risk giving a product I don't feel is worth the cost I was paid, but in many cases, I simply rise to the challenge! However, pinups will always be a favorite subject. Not too challenging, but very fun!

(TC) Do you have any sort of advice for anyone who would like to take up drawing (like where to start, or something that is helpful)?

(Xainy) My only advice really would be that anyone can learn to draw. Artists are the people who wanted badly enough to draw that they have poured hours and days of their lives into learning, reading tutorials, practice, etc. Dedication is all it takes, but it could take years for you to feel like you've made any progress. Don't lose heart, just keep going! Don't be afraid to ask for redlines or critiques, many people are out there who like to help. Above all, try to have fun with it. :) Start with a blank sketchbook and start drawing things you see around you.

(TC) Do you have any particular pet-peeves when it comes to drawing or working as an artist?

(Xainy) I think the only thing I really dislike is the arm pain I get in my elbow and pinkie if I draw too much. The same pain flares up when I drive for hours at a time or use my mouse too much, so it's not exclusive just to artwork, but it does put a damper on my work hours sometimes. There are other small annoyances, obviously, as with any job, but I'm just so grateful to get to do what I love that it seems like nothing at the end of the day. :)

(TC) What do you find the most attractive thing in art about anthro characters (can be General, mature, or adult commentary)?

(Xainy) I really like eye-catching designs, especially when they accentuate the unique features of the chosen species rather than obscuring them. This could mean a character with interesting fur patterns or colors, clothing, accessories or personalities, I just really love the diversity and creativity that gets poured into them, especially when they're so recognizable that you can pick a character out from a thumbnail.

Awesome stuff - thank you Xainy for such great and full answers! And that's it for today! Have a save and happy weekend everyone!

*growf*

Woo! Kayaking plans for the weekend worked out! My mate and I went to Pinery Provincial Park to kayak on the Old Ausable channel. It was her second outing of the year, and she really enjoyed it (though was very sore the next day). With all the pose surgery stuff, she has days she can do it, and days she can't, so it was nice to be able to get out, especially there. The Old Ausable is amazing in that it's completely clear - you can always see the bottom, and it is rich with plant and aquatic life. It's like kayaking on the world's biggest aquarium! Just an amazing experience every time we do it.

It was a long day - prep of the gear takes about 90 minutes for the first setup, roof rack installation and all that. An hour to get there, 40 minutes to take down and gear up, quick lunch, 4.5 hours on the water, about 45 to 60 minutes to put it all back. But stopped for ice cream, then dinner, then headed home. Then another 40 minutes or so to put everything back. ^_^ Used to be a bit quicker to do the gear up, load/unload, but now that my mate cannot load bear much on the titanium hip and surgically repaired shoulder, I just do all the lifting, carrying and stuff myself.

ANYWAY! You probably want less personal story, and more paws, so let's get going!

Artist:  Catwolf
Characters: Loki (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/zarus195) and Muddy (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/biglovingwolf)

Why: Okay, I know this is twice in a row these sexy guys have gotten Most Pawesome but... common - look at those adorable, loving paws! This picture captures two really nice elements that I like. One, obviously, it shows off both their soles in really nice detail. Two, on the feet not showing off, they're cuddling one another, toes-on-toes. I LOVE that feeling. When you love feet/paws having someone's toes on yours, or vise-versa, is just such a wonderful feeling. While we only see their paws here, this is once again such a beautifully paw-centric moment.

2nd pic: Loving the paws while loving his lady - simple goodness in this one. :)

Oooooops! See, you gotta watch where you play when you're a macro - you never know what might be in the way. At least there's a great sole view if you're lucky enough not to be in that building. :P Also, this is a great example of a very nice five-toed footpaw!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17026758/ (nsfw, m/f, charr!)

Because charr. <3 And SOOOOO nice to see a female charr being pleasured like this. The male's face is just so in-the-moment, really taking his time and care to pleasure his mate, and the female looks incredible! One of the many awesome things I love about the charr is that the females can have just as powerful and amazing a build as the males - in fact, there's actually not much difference. BC did an amazing job of getting the musculature down on the female, and also nailed her expression. Very cool eye markings on her too. And of course - paws. We get an amazing look at the female's beautiful soles here. Sidenote; this is probably why the charr have all metal tables around in their cities. XD


Besonik:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17016696/ (nsfw, f)

Thanks to ImagineKarma (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/imaginekarma/) for this one. Beautiful female fuzzy dragon basking in the afterglow of a little fun with her tale. She has big soft looking sole pads on her fuzzy feet. ^_^ Neat that Besonik also has a non-fuzzy version here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15935262/.

Lots of paw filled goodness from LJ! Carcar lucks out twice in these pictures too - the last being especially nice in that it's dual paw-sharing. :3


FastTrack37D:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17022813/ (nsfw, m)

First off.... ow. He must sit like that a lot 'cause all I can think of is how much that would hurt to even attempt. XD Anyway! Great view of his feet with toes splayed teasingly at whomever is coming in.


Rukis:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17023652/ (nsfw, m)

Ooooh MAN, I love this picture. This is the coloured/painted version of an earlier sketch. For me, this picture is just a MASSIVE tease. I know it's not specifically paw-centric, but the way Rukis drew it, it almost could be. It's also a great contrast to have the character dressed in such fancy, lavish upper body wear, and completely nude on his lower half. But it's how those gorgeous feet are hanging JUST over the table that do it for me. They're like an invite - just waiting to be enjoyed, and his expression is just SO wanting you to do so.


AeonAngelus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17015318/ (sfw, m)

Gator soles! Nice close up view of Feraligatr's soles and toes. I like that bigness of them - seems so appropriate to a gator character.


Iskra:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17012756/ (nsfw, f)

Wow... Iskra sure is good at drawing some pretty ladies. :) Very nicely drawn character, who is of course showing off a very nice footpaw. I really like how that style of long legging helps draw attention to such nice paws too.


Restif:
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Lynet.....Feet-544233506 (sfw, f, art-human)

Restif is moving onto his next most popular model by creating a Genesis-2 based Lynette. :) Lynette was my favourite in the older model series, and it looks like the new one is going to be even nicer! Lynette, lore-wise, does a lot of barefooting, and is not a lady to wear stupid shoes, so her feet are very natural - nice gentle taper to her toes, strong ball-pad, arch and heels, but super-well maintained. Again, I keep finding it hard to believe a digital render can look that nice, but hats-off to Restif for such quality stuff! Lynette's feet are just gorgeous to me - all the toes are very nicely sized, and I like how the baby toes have that thick, tough base to them. :3


Foxypaws:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17010072/ (sfw, m/m/m, po)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17010403/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)

Some July-4th independence day renders from Foxypaws! Heh - I like how it even looks grainy like pictures tend to be when taken in the dark. Wouldn't you just LOVE to be laying under that bench? :3 And also... eagle feet!

and speaking of Independence day...

ZP92:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17009970/ (sfw, f, macro, art-human.... sort of)
(alt. link): http://www.deviantart.com/art/Liber.....oles-543993726

Aye yi yi... Lady Liberty (who.... technically is French), never looked so good! ZP's done a really gorgeous job of proportions on her feet with a perfect toe-taper, nice toe placement and beautiful soles. Lovely bit of wrinkling on the sole, great shape to the heel - just very nice feet here. ^_^


Flynx-Flink:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17007106/ (nsfw, m/f)

One extremely unique looking Shark lady! She's got such a unique look to her - and of course, very, very nice footpaws! I don't know if they're webbed toes or not, but nice shape to the toes and really nice big ball pad.


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17006828/ (nsfw, multiple, po)

PAAAWWWWWSSSS!! Tag is selling these prints at AC, so if you're at AC and reading this - GO BUY ONE! Just a sampling of the many, many awesome footpaws that Tag as drawn in the last few weeks.


Catwolf:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17032316/ (nsfw, f)

Fuzzy bunny feet! Roslin offering up some playful choices. Tough decision for most, easy call for any pawsexual. XD


Skye:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17032213/ (nsfw, f)

Skye showing off her furry self - super cute speckled paws RIGHT up in front and pointed at ya! If you really wanna see something cool - check out the original this was based on from 2 years ago; now THAT is some incredible art skill progression. :)


ArcticLion:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17029361/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)

Hopeflyte getting to enjoy the sexy big feet of Hioty... and it looks like they have a bit more planned than just paw-lovin'. Really amazing detail work on the toes here!


Sebafox:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17030567/ (nsfw, m)

Page 1 of 2 of a short little comic. Really like the guy's left footpaw in that bottom panel! Big toes, very plush ball pad and pretty good proportions.


And that's it for today! Enjoy all!

*growf!*

Happy Friday all! Heh, honest I'm really not trying to make late paw-mails a "thing." I keep seeming to get consistently busy in the mornings of late. It was also a bit of a rough on-call week. BUT - I am free now! Hopefully can get some kayaking in this weekend if the weather holds out. :)

Most Pawesome Picture:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17002000/ (nsfw, m/m)

Artist: Rooc (aka Fly)
Characters: Loki Roland (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/zarus195/) and Muddy Wolf (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/biglovingwolf)

Why: Two mates with a shared love of paws, plain and simple! Nicely drawn image that focuses 100% on paws while finding an equal balance between sweet and sexy. I really enjoy the pictures of these guys, always so happy to just be at each others soles. ^_^


CariFoxLeopard:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16981766/ (sfw, m)

Cari never ceases to amaze in how many ways she can cutely portray something. XD And boy does this guy have thick paws on him too - great looking pads, and silly cute picture. ^_^


ZP92:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16981267/ (nsfw, f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16990600/ (nsfw-ish, m/f)
(alt. link): http://zp92.deviantart.com/art/Sorcery-543501273

1st pic: Hmm... what's that rustling past these weeds.... oh, it's Florgaria! This beautiful lady is a very creative spcies that ZP's come up with. Those big, beautiful feet of hers are so nicely highlighted by the leaf anklets. But... if you ever encounter this lovely lady, you're not likely to remember it - after enjoying your time with her, she emits a chemical that makes you forget all about it. For all you know... maybe you have already enjoyed those soles. ;)

2nd pic: ZP's "Abriika" the sorceress making a new friend with Graywolf87's "Daeni" the sorcerer. Two dangerously powerful magic users with a thing for making people worship their feet. *Ponders* I bet they don't even need the magic. ;) Anyway - Daeni's sexy look was created by RedFeathers' take on him, so............


RedFeathers:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16979688/ (sfw-ish, m)

.... here's RedFeathers' take! Personally I really, really like the design of the feet here. Human-ish feet are not easy to get right, proportionally, and RedFeathers really nailed it here. Even more impressive that this is a male character with such nice proportions. YAY!


BlueMaster:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16987572/ (nsfw, m/m)

We'd all love to be in Scry's position here! Lucky Collie gets to enjoy that big, unique footpaw of Padisha's about as point-blank as possible. Nice full character views, nice looking paws, and a picture that is 100% paw-centric in tone.


Iggi:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....ion-volcan-ref (sfw, m, ref.)
(alt. link) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16979031/

A nice reference picture of Volcan. Now how would you like that hunk to show up and rescue you from a fire? :3 Even better, imagine getting to take those big boots off and tend his nice paws at the end of the day? ^_^


BlackChaos666:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17001640/ (nsfw, m/m, charr!)

Because charr! Nuughh... two very sexy male charrs spending a little off-duty time together. First... and I know I keep saying it, but good gods, does BlackChaos EVER do nice charr, and second - pretty nice views of both their paws in this image. :3


Tag (aka Staggard):
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17000306/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)

*snickers* That title with that expression. SO GOOD! Very amusing picture by the masterful Tag, in which we get a pretty darn nice look at their footpaws, even those aren't central to the image. Ghost's right foot especially - wow, that is a lovely head-on view.


PixieFyre:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16999722/ (sfw, m, ref.)

Part 2 of Ether3al's character reference sheet, which details those huge, amazing (and pretty uniquely styled) feet of his.


AeonAngelus:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16998929/ (sfw-ish, multiple-characters)

A nice paw-centric YCH pic featuring all sorts of lucky folks enjoying some cute paws. I think I envy Dorey most so happily smoothed under that nice coon-paw. :3


NateDay:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17003922/ (nsfw, f)

The incredibly beautiful Artica! This is one of those characters you just can't help but admire for the simplicity and gorgeous design, and this is a really nice take on her. Very nice in-your-face shot of her footpaw and cute digitigrade sole.


Venerit:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16998684/ (nsfw, m)

Another cute guy on the list - look at those little paw pads! So cute. ^_^ And such a confident look too.


Vallhund:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16996545/ (nsfw, m/f, TCO!)

Sexy dinos! Now this is neat in that it's certainly a departure from the usual characters that Vallhund draws, and she pulled it off beautifully! The female is showing off a very lovely look at her raptor-like soles and toes to enjoy. :)


Rukis:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16996390/ (nsfw, m/m)

You gotta love the emotion that Rukis so often puts into her work. Here's Puck and Luther, having a very tender moment - lovely view of Puck's footpaw.


Gorsha_Pendragon:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16993597/ (nsfw, f-h)

A pretty albino hyena named Anastasya. Simple pose that gives a nice look at her cute footpaws.


Tojo-the-Thief:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16992927/ (nsfw, m)

Waaaait a minute.... I don't think that's how that's supposed to be used! Oh well - offers up a nice view of that right footpaw while he's ugh... misusing locker room supplies. XD


Tazara:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16992117/ (sfw, f)

Awww... so beautiful and cute all at once. ^_^ This is Rai, and mmmf... those eyes! She has such a disarming, smile-inducing look to her. It's a neat choice for the pose too in how well it stands out from more typical poses, and also does a lovely job of showing off her cute feet.


Yaoifairy:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16990663/ (sfw, m)

Here's Kazu, cuddling a little plushie and looking adorable! And while looking adorable, is also teasing the heck out of us with those big, beautiful feet of his! Really awesome sole detail on this with such big, soft looking pads.


TickleLabs:

Part 2 of a comic from May (see description for the link to the first page) where Tails gets to finally enjoy Amy's sleeping soles. Or....... is she? ;)

Special Abilities/Powers (Answered as Rhys):
* Nothing I’d consider a special power. I am however particularly skilled in teasing if I’m in the mood. I’m nearly always in the mood to tease. ;)

Character Summary:
(VK) Rhys is a flirty and rather effeminate rat that thrives on teasing others so much so that it can even be said he gets off to it. Despite naturally being polyamorous he tends to live a fairly monogamous life when it comes to his love life. He’s the kind of person to flirt with everyone that appeals to him and never really put out or have interest beyond getting them excited. He’s not often keen on making close friends, but those who manage to get close to him know him for his carefree personality and drive to do what pleases him no matter what anyone else thinks. Others know his general love of sewing and showing off. If he’s teasing you, you’ve caught his eye, but don’t get your hopes up for anything more ;)

Commenting on Images:
(VK) Anything sfw and on content of image itself is fine. I’d prefer comments go no further than appreciation and generally saying what you find attractive/alluring/sexy or whatever. I love knowing what others think, but I find forced rp and sexually charged comments telling me what you’d like to do to him pretty creepy and unwelcome most of the time. Wanting to touch his feet or hair is one thing (and perfectly okay), intense detail of how you want [insert character here] to do xyz is another. Especially in regards to Rhys. I know he’s a tease, but he more than likely wants nothing more than to let you know what you can’t have.

Some Q&A - answered both by VampireKitty, and as Rhys (indicated as such):

(TC) Perhaps the obvious first question - Rhys has really cute feet, and has been seen flaunting them in a few pictures. What does he think of footpaws - are they something he's into?

(VK) He finds them alluring when bare and well kept, but has no real interest in them beyond general appreciation (save one case). That being said, he is into other’s enjoyment of paws. It’s part of the reason he likes to put them on display.

(TC) If into paws, a more direct question - how so? Does that include liking his own?

(Rhys) I like my own paws, but mainly for the sole purpose of making a few close friends happy and teasing many others. That being said, I am inexplicably drawn to my mate’s paws on a more intimate level. So, it’s certainly possible but exceedingly rare.

(TC) Rhys seems to have a heck of a powerful talent for knowing how to be as teasing as possible (and immensely successful at it). Has that ever back-fired on him?

(VK) It has a couple of times. More often backfiring is people getting angry because they misconstrued either his gender or intentions. Occasionally it’s led to some people trying to take it quite a bit farther than he was ever willing to go. His general policy is “I wasn’t hiding anything. You didn’t ask, so I didn’t tell you.” Generally all goes well though.

(TC) Rhys is also incredibly comfortable and confident with his personality and identity - was this always the case?

(Rhys) Yes and no, as a child I often had conflicting feelings about it. I was very well aware that I simply was interested in stereotypical female things and nothing was going to change that. My parents were less than happy and constantly reminded of the behavior being inappropriate for a boy. As I got older and more defiant they eventually gave up and let me do as I pleased. That led to an increasing confidence especially as high school hit and I could confirm that it had little to no effect on other people’s attraction to me. Other than societal confusion though, I’ve always been extremely comfortable with who I was.

(TC) Has Michelle (Mitch) ever successfully managed to brush his hair? XD

(Rhys) Once or twice. I tend to purposely distract her when she gets close to being done. Mitch has surprised me and pulled through, though I was immediately told to reward her for doing so. Sometimes I wonder if the silly dog realizes they don’t have to actually do anything to get to my feet.

(TC) How on Earth did he learn to be SO good at pushing the right buttons on people?

(VK) Observation mostly and some practice. He’s always had a habit of watch others for awhile and cataloging different reactions to different situations. He did this a lot in the younger years when his parents were more insistent he “behave like a boy”. Of course such skills have sharpened over the years to the point that even when not needing the information, he has a habit of picking up on it.

(TC) What are some of the things Rhys really dislikes in others?

(VK) Lack of Personal Hygiene. He prides himself on being very clean and is not very fond of being around others who make no effort. Controlling behavior and bigotry, especially when in conjunction with one another. Lack of self-confidence. He can be willing to work with others on this but it really bothers him.

And there we go! First Paw-Mail of July completed. Actually can't believe it's July already. O_o Have a safe weekend everyone, and Happy Independence Day to all the 'Murican's on the list!

TC

*growf*

Blah! Bad ToeClaws - another late paw-mail on a stupidly busy day. My on-call weeks' been going rough - 30+ pages last night waking me up, Interrupted visiting CAThulu Friday night by pages, pages Saturday night, then woken up twice Sunday morning from them. Having the pager has become sort of a "Thou shalt not sleep!" sentence.

Anyway, still out on time for the day, so enjoy!

I honestly could not pick one! There are a few I really like this time around, and since this is late enough as it is, I'm not gonna delay on that! Tell me what your favourites are, and why!


CariFoxLeopard:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16962826/ (nsfw, m)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16975360/ (nsfw, m/m)

1st pic: Showing a little booty while gaming! Showing those huge and lovely paws even more.

2nd pic: Very sweet couples pic with a nice romantic cuddle that implies maybe some more play to come. A nice look at both their paws.


Tchai:
http://sta.sh/01pagx42bjnj (sfw, f, po)
http://sta.sh/07p6tlmz2mb (sfw, f, po)

<3 Wow! So... a passing comment I made on one of Tchai's Anza commics (this one: http://tchaikovsky2.deviantart.com/.....wiga-530344301) resulted in him generously rendering these paw closeups of the Hyena character Kebibi. Certianly not the first time Tachi has been so accommodating to paw-lovers with his work! Kebibi has incredibly cute footpaws, and these two pics show some pretty nice poses of them. On a side note, if you haven't see the comic yet, go check it out! Absolutely stunning rendering work, and a very heart-warming story: http://anzastory.tumblr.com/


AeonAngelus:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16967220/ (sfw, m/m)

Awwww... cuddly bed paws of the lovely couple Darkwolf and SolCardinalWolf. Feet touching feet is just SO nice when you both enjoy them. ^_^


Foxypaws:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16958602/ (nsfw-ish, m/m)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16969727/ (sfw, m, 3D!)

1st pic: Foxy gets a nice taste and appreciation of Maxx's huge soft soles, and at a great point-blank view for us too.

2nd pic: 3D! If you got the glasses, that is... or can manage to do that crossed-eye thing (I never could). If you can, then you get Maxx-feet coming right at ya.


Volac:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16953696/ (sfw, m, ref.)

Ref. sheet for Akhoris, a big male smileodon with nice big footpaws.


Rednight:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16941327/ (nsfw, m/f)

Thank's to  vampirekitty for this one - Cross-Fox enjoys a big feral lady's gorgeous footpaw (and her). Beautifully detailed work.


Akineza:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16927745/ (nsfw, m/f)

Another one thanks to  vampirekitty - two sergals spar with one another. We get a pretty nice look at the male's footpaw. A bit more beefy and padded paw than you usually see on Sergals.


TheOwlette:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16970168/ (nsfw-ish, f)

Owlette's stunningly beautiful character River using her equally beautiful feet to capture a mouse and have a snack. For a while there... that mouse is the luckiest guy ever to get that nice a view of those unique avian soles. I'm um... sure he's okay. <_< The last panel certainly gives a beautiful sole-view of her feet. Gorgeous detail!


NecroDrone13:
https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1022529/red-rump (nsfw, f)
(alt. link): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16974526/

I have long loved this sexy dragonness and her very lovely feet - but not often we get to see such a head-on, detailed view of them! Wow - such big, plush ball pads and nice toes.


Iskra:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16976962/ (nsfw, m/f)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16965551/ (nsfw, f/f)

1st pic: Oh my... that is WAY better than the usual reward. Nice two-panel series showing this beautiful lady rabbit and her very poofy soles! So cute.

2nd pic: Looks like a good way to wake up to me. Very nice multiple frame shots of these ladies, offering looks at both their footpaws.

Very cute toony character version with adorable paws. And somehow, Muzz has pulled off the perfect blend of confident yet bashful in this pose.

Now here's an Artie picture I've not seen yet - mini Artie on his own big, awesome footpaw. I dunno how it's possible... but it looks awesome.

1st pic: How awesome would it be to have a friend with sexy feet who let you do THAT while he played games!?

2nd pic: Last of a transformation sequence - offers a heck of a nice footpaw view.

Blake the hybrid tiger guy! Nice looking character, and a lovely footpaw shot. :)

More of Starfox and Falco - and now Starfox is big too! Some very nice giant feet to go adore. Or.... run from, which is probably the wiser choice, but.... psh... like we'd do that!

BURDS! Two sexy avian guys who have gotten a wee bit frisky after downing some of Tag's Paw-brew ale. Great views of their feet!

And that's it for today! Have a good week, and HAPPY CANADA DAY to all the Canadian readers tomorrow!
