WIP for @juniastrey.bsky.social

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

"Hades"

"Snakes on a plane"

so happy to finally show some of the cards i made for Cyberpunk Legends! 🔥 thank you @nightcrewgames.bsky.social for the opportunity, check the game out if you can! 🤙

I really want some peace from the thoughts that are constantly in my head. All these problems with no easy solutions. Sometimes I wish I never made that furry LiveJournal account that bifurcated my life into two. Feeling helpless in one life is bad enough; feeling that way in two lives is too much.

For @kyzer.wang Thank you!

Sketch (before I cover it up with watercolours).

The Rat King lives.

"Glam Rock"

More daily sketches.

Doesn't really look like bokeh, but still kinda pretty.

Dappled shadows.

4/2/26: "Medieval cat"

Holly.

Not so happy with the results this time, but gonna keep working on it.

Daily sketches 19-22 Jan

Daily sketch practices: 15-18/1 I realise the purpose of these is not really to get better technically, but to get used to drawing for the sake of drawing.

I'm scared by upcoming transitions in my life. I want to pretend everything's normal, that I can keep doing the things I enjoy, but it's almost certain that part of me is going away. I don't want to say anything, but letting it die silently feels sad too, so here's a note for me to stop pretending.

Daily sketch practice: “Literal facebook”

Daily sketch practices: 10-13 Jan

Progress update!

Daily sketch practices.

Daily sketch prompt: ants on a log.

Started a new painting!

2025 art recap. A year of experimenting and learning. Still figuring things out, but I'm glad I showed up.

Painting.

Wrote a more detailed Furum thank you note on Facebook, but overall it was a great time meeting up with familiar faces old and new. Also helped that I didn't put too much pressure on myself to dress up and be noticed; no expectations means no stress!

Commish for @juniastrey.bsky.social of their character floating in the skies with the auroras 👀 #art #furry #furries #furryart #rat

A messy first attempt!

Started learning watercolours and it's definitely a lot harder to control than acrylic.

Experimental. Tried to follow the method I use for physical paintings by restricting myself to Procreate’s new default oil brush and painting on a single layer. Messy af but I think hot sauce ratboy turned out okay.

Sketch.

I've spent waaay too much time working on this redesign of my character instead of figuring out what to do for Furum…

Figure drawing classes are over! Was pretty fun and thanks to Voce for suggesting I give it a try!

That was tense, but phew, looks like I'm going Furum after all! Thank you, ticket overlords, for the second chance. 🙏

Long overdue art of @Madi_kazah on X (go check him out!)

Much improved, thanks to the instructor’s guidance!

Finally done after a two-month break!

No Furum for me this year since tickets are sold out. ☹️ Lots of FOMO seeing so many friends going, but I'm still figuring out how I feel about last year's Furum, so maybe it's for the best.

My first live nude drawing, just like a real art student!

Last day in Japan! Visited the Sapporo TV tower, the clock tower, the Hokkaido-jingu shrine, the beer museum before ending with some shopping on the Tanukikoji shopping street. This period also happens to be their Tanuki festival, so managed to see some tanuki-themed decorations!

Sapporo: Visited the Tarumaesan shrine, learnt about the works of Miwa Komatsu at the Sapporo Art Museum, toured the Shiroi Koibito park, then ended by gawking at the many many options for adult entertainment on Susukino street.

The fireworks got cancelled, so today was mostly spent at the Noboribetsu Bear Park before walking the Jigokudani and Oyunuma nature trail!

Dressed up in Edo period costumes at the Noboribetsu Date Jidai Village, experienced everyone's phone going off with a tsunami alert, rode the Mt. Usu ropeway, visited the Ginnuma and Konpira craters before finally enjoying fireworks at Lake Toyako!

Visited the Unkai Terrace at Hoshino Resorts Tomamu to observe the "sea of clouds", had a bagel lunch with (self-made) cheese at Chidorigataki waterfall, rode a swan boat at Lake Shikotsu, and now finally at Noboribetsu!

Made some cheese, experienced the Hokkaido Heso Matsuri (aka the Furano Belly Button festival), met a kemono cat in a food truck (https://profu.link/u/kumatoneko), watched some fireworks and visited a chapel on the water!

Biei And Furano: Visited the Shikisai no Oka flower garden, had Lavender ice cream at Farm Tomita, experienced a (tethered) hot air balloon and toured the Ningle Terrace craft village!

Asahikawa: Visited the Otokoyama Sake Brewery Museum and a random Tanbo rice paddy art display. Also had some delicious soup curry from King Bear and ramen from the Asahikawa ramen village!

Random shots from a day spent in Otaru, Hokkaido! Tried out Hokkaido's zangi fried chicken and Otaru's panju pastries.
