When the lights go out without warning, you're still here to bear the night.
Had a go at 1-bit pixel art and made this vent piece.

A low resolution 1-bit (2 color) pixel art image. Pictured is an anthro fox Foxfire sitting on the ground behind a lantern. The lantern has burned out and smoke is rising upward. Foxfire is looking down at the lantern with a sad expression. The bottom of the image says Lights - out.
Thank you very much!
Drew my best friend and little sister Stealthy! Went with a lineless approach because it seemed like it'd be a challenge and I hadn't done it in a while.

A lineless digital drawing of an MtF cyan anthro fox named Stealthy. She has black ears, black paws, and black tips on her long cyan hair, some of which is covering your left (her right) side of the face. She has a white muzzle, turquoise eyes, a gray band above her nose and the middle of her tail, white claws, pink paw beans, and a white tail tip with a black zig-zag separating the tip from the rest of the cyan tail. She's wearing a cozy turquoise sweater, along with a darker turquoise skirt.
Stealthy is beaming with a large, open mouth, fangs visible smile. She is waving her right (your left) arm up to say hello. She is standing on top of a large, cylindrical purple podium, and behind her is a light lavender backdrop with a few large darker wavy lines, along with a few white stars which dot the area. Beside her foot-paws is text on the ground which reads "Stealthy"
Hello from pawb.social! Honestly don't recall even seeing an anthro lemming before to be honest. I'm sure they're out there, maybe just not a common species people draw though.
What are you waiting for, it's free!

Digital art of Kate, an anthro gray house-cat with long, brunette hair. She has part of her hair in a beehive, bangs, and the rest falling behind and over her shoulder. Kate is wearing pajamas, consisting of a loose fitting pink nightgown, and purple sweatpants. She is looking directly at the viewer, distinct tired bags under her eyes, with a large smug grin. Her left (your right) arm is gesturing towards an empty cardboard box beside her. The box is open, with all four flaps at varying heights on each side. To your right of Kate, and above the cardboard box, there is text which says "It's free real estate". Kate, the box, and the text have a large white stroke around them, imitating a sticker design.
This phrase is a reference to a skit from Tim and Eric (Free House For You, Jim), which spread around and became a bit of a meme several years ago now. It is used in this context relating to cats tending to lay in shipping boxes. She is laying claim to the cardboard as if it were indeed, free real estate.
I think I made the right choice, I've heard people are dying to get into these places after all.
An idea exaggerated from 100 too many crises and no more spoons. Doing what you can, and focusing on what you can control is enough.

A four panel comic which uses exaggerated postures and colorful backdrops. The delivery should be read sarcastically.
The first panel shows a disgruntled anthro mouse with brown fur, and light pink ears, hands, and tail. He's wearing a gray flat cap and a near black vest, which is opened to show a cream colored body. He's standing in a profile view, but with his hands holding a cocktail toothpick between his fingers, and his left (your right) arm is foreshortened towards you. The toothpick is also coming at you, with a sharp point and a sparkle at the end. There is text which says "We've reached an impasse. This is not sustainable!" This is in front is a purple background with a tunneling spiral of darker purple lines.
Second panel is the same mouse, but now with both arms raised above his head, both hands clasping his now vertical toothpick. His head is looking straight up, making only his screaming mouth visible. On the left is text which says "We either FIGHT" with a sword graphic on top, and "Or we DIE" with a skull graphic on the right. Left is alternating yellows, right is reds.
Third panel is an anthro fox, Foxfire, who has reddish-brown fur, dark gray paws, and cream muzzle, chest, and tail tip. He has an overly excited expression, eyes replaced with sparkles and mouth agape. He says "You mean...I get a CHOICE‽"
The final panel is Foxfire's tombstone in a cemetery. It reads "RIP Foxfire - THANK GOD!" There is a smiling sun to further empathize the absurdity.
There was a strategy to it! Instead of dropping coin down every last blade, little kid me aligned the machine a particular way so the coin would drop all the way down to the second to last blade. Then I would nudge the coin to the edge, then twist and suddenly stop to give it enough force to not just fall straight down, but also not enough to fling it past the final blade. I'd say I won around half the time, and intentionally only did it once every so often to not arise suspicion you could game it well. I was sad when my 25 cent burritos were taken away for good after this machine left, ah well.
Thank you so much!
Sharing your art be like.
I'm quite happy with my pixel art rendition of Foxfire this time around. He looks so excited!

A lineless pixel art rendition of Foxfire, an anthro fox with reddish-brown fur, a cream muzzle, chest tuff, and tail tip, and dark gray hand and foot paws. He is standing, has a big open mouth smile, and is gesturing his right (your left) hand-paw at a golden picture frame. Within the frame is a textured white canvas, which has a rendition of a rubber duck on the surface of water, with a purple twilight sky above. This scene is shown within a large paint spatter, which sprawls from the center of the canvas and outward vertically.
Foxfire is standing in an otherwise empty, dark, de-saturated purple room, with a gray-purple floor. The top of the image has a textbox in this same floor color which says: BEHOLD...A DUCK!
Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.
A bit of an existential grayscale drawing I created while testing out some of the various default paint and ink brushes in Krita. I never chose to be, yet I am. Why am I?

A grayscale digital art piece depicting a rock-face upon a beachfront, cast in a night sky. Near the horizon, a ship can be seen to the bottom left, along with a lighthouse close to the center guiding it.
Standing upon the rock-face is an ambiguous feminine presenting canine anthro, with long hair and a one piece dress, their tail buttoned through it, looking outward towards the sky. The lower half of the night is colored in a dotted half-tone, where the dots fade into total blackness around halfway up the image. Within the pure black rests several crude star shapes, along with a cartoon styled crescent moon, worn and heavily textured.
The upper center of the image has large and stressed white text which reads: Why...AM I?
Nice night scene! I appreciate the detail you put into the suv and its lighting, really makes me feel like they're the only one around for a long while.
Leap day people have to wait four, the poor souls.
The day's not over until you say goodnight to your plushies! God I love plushies.
Thanks for sharing! From the sounds of it you've been aware for a long time too, honestly it's kinda amazing to me how long it's been a part of many people's lives and identities. It really is one of those things that seem to stick with you forever!
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words!
Thank you very much!
Drew out this pun after having it stuck in my head for a while. Made it to look like a simple Christmas card, enjoy!
I made some lineless art of my plushie Kicks for his birthday today! I also learned a little more about Kicks' character and tried to incorporate some of those elements as icons for the background, such as the ladybug for enjoying nature, the bow for Sagittarius, and the shoe + handbag for elements of his buisness.
Mmm...big borgar 🍔
Do you remember when and what helped you discover your affinity for furries? If you do, I'd like to hear your stories!
To get the ball rolling I'll start with mine. While I certainly can't pinpoint the exact date I became fixated on anthros, I can absolutely remember getting Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast when I was 7 or 8 (2000ish).
Seeing Tails was all I needed to get hooked, and want to be a cool fox like him. I didn't even have a word for it until I started using the internet years later, but my furry fate was sealed from then onward. It was the catalyst that got me into fantasizing about having fur and a big tail, and got me doodling lots of Sonic art as a kid. While I've long since stopped making Sonic art, Tails still holds a special place in my heart over 20 years later.
I appreciate it, cute is exactly what I'm aiming for! Thank you!
