Normally I'd be weirded out by this fetish but jesus christ you portrayal of the musculature and the highlights is so ridiculously good.

It's too bad, but there were a lot of furries that were weirded out by the pups, but that's because so many people just think it's a fetish and only about sex. And, like furries themselves, it's not! I learnt a lot for him and his pup friends. But thank you so much - I just love working with toned paper to make bold contrasts.

Whats funny is the people outside of the fandom just view furry and the pup community as all the same thing

very true. Many pups are also furries, but they are two fairly different things.

I only recently learned about the pup side of things. It's absolutely fascinating. And this illustration is fantastic!

It's a neat lifestyle activity for sure - and thank you!

^ Completely agree

:) 'A little broader in the shoulders and I'd mistake him for a furry version of Bane from Dark Knight Rises

A little menacing-looking, if you ask me. What is he planning to do?

He is in incredible shape and can look imposing, but what a sweetie he was! When I saw his MMA gloves I had to meet him :p

Looking sexy as hell

Right?!

and sexy art as always

Who's the pup? I bet I know him :3

Wait. It says it's Tosa.
Tosa is awesome <3

That is so flattering that you can tell that - and yup, it's Tosa alright :D

Oh wow! I am soooo regretting not making it to that panel, I was super interested, but it just didn't work out! XD
I'll be honest, I don't know much about the lifestyle outside of the aesthetic pov!
Anyway, just...wow, I LOVE that you used toned paper because it really shows how amazing your shading skills are
You know muscle tones so intimately and make textures feel so real.

Oh hun - thank you so much for saying so - really!

The panel was so good, showed me so much about the pup life, it was very interesting indeed - and the gear is just beautiful. Again, thank you!

Pup Sprocket will be hosting another panel at this year's FE on the Friday :)
The Black Eagle Leather bar (on Church St) will be having their monthly pup night on the Saturday, and a bunch of us pups and handlers are organizing a breakfast meetup on the Sunday. So if you're going this year there'll be loads of opportunities to learn more!

OMG yes! I would love too - please keep me posted, I'd love to see and learn more from you guys :D

Do you have a Telegram? If so, I can link you to the group chat for pups & handlers at FE where all this fun stuff is being organized :)

Wow this is amazing!

Thank you!
