Fair seas, cruise ports, and a moonfang travel companion~ @renix.bsky.social

World famous pilot @jaythegryphon.bsky.social tells me why LaGuardia is the worst airport in the world. Then, @merystic.bsky.social finds a fish, and coreycyote takes my camera #ane2026 #furry #fursuit

Got to hang out at a club tonight with @merystic.bsky.social and company! Great folks, and it was a really nice time! Completely different from the virtual club scene I'm used too. Honestly just delightful.

V turns 8 years old this year! V's original design can be credited to @merystic.bsky.social who worked with me on making a character that I see as a true representation of me. I felt V was in need of an update, so Mery graciously made subtle but meaningful updates that I genuinely adore.

Mr Rogers positivity on a Friday @bytwistwood.bsky.social

Draw a thing a day: IT'S NATIONAL DRAW A DINOSAU- What do you mean that was last week? Well. Uh. Here's a dinosaur recommendation from @merystic.bsky.social the Corythosaurus.

These guys know what's up. @mohoanimation.bsky.social

YOUR AVALI IDOL. THREATENING DANCE ENERGY!! 🔥🔥🔥 I am sooo happy I finally got to do this with a whole crew! TvT Avali squad (squavali?): @royalty.bsky.social @jaycebirb.bsky.social @renix.bsky.social @prannon.bsky.social

Some recent Dungeons & Dragons commissions for anonymous and their party!

Did you know? Today is national draw a dinosaur day! 🦖 Therizinosaurus is so badass and I’m overdue for drawing one…thus my contribution is this long-clawed friend!!

Got a cool announcement to make!! Presenting the (re)launch of merystic.com !! You'll be able to find my commission prices here, contact info, and merch! (Right now selling overstock from previous con dealing, but look forward to new designs soon.) *Excited chirping!* :>

Some recent pencils! ✏️ for @stripey.bsky.social @skyjay.bsky.social @rapier4.bsky.social

Mikey with the quiet hawruff 🐶✨️💚 🎨A little treat from the ever wonderful @merystic.bsky.social

“Starfall,” GoldenFeatherStudio, 26’ I finally caved and designed an #avali for myself, she is so lovely. Thank you to @merystic.bsky.social for giving me a nudge toward the avail train, ;> Pose inspired by a model by Javenchi on gumroad #space #art #digitalart #furry #bird #avian #procreate #star

In case anyone wanted a follow-up: Knee is still completely fk’d so I bit the bullet and started the tortuous and expensive medical journey toward eventual diagnosis and treatment. Doc suspects torn meniscus, which would suck bc apparently the treatment is surgery :( send healing vibes, friends

Ok I’m sorry (not sorry), one more VRC-inspired Mery variant: behold the MERYSPIL!! What is an aspil, the uninitiated might ask? I got two words for you: kitty snek!!

Meryvali says: “Call me space chicken one more time!!” #avali

“You are the stone that split the stream of time in two…” Recently beat Ecco the Dolphin 2 (Tides of Time) for the first time since I was a kid. Dolphins, aliens, time travel…what’s not to love! Attempting hard mode next. Here’s some quick #fanart I did of Ecco teleporting through time 🐬

I wish that airplanes in the night sky were like swimming carp…I could really use a fish right now, fish right now, fish right now 🎵 #FursuitFriday

There’s something very wrong with my knee and I fear it’s approaching the point I will have to relent and see the doctor…I’m having to rely on a cane more & more…but I’m terrified of the cost of multiple visits/doctors, x-rays, and god forbid an mri…potentially thousands I can’t spare. This sucks 🥲

Hands Sometimes... you might wonder... what your hands were made for? Well... of course, to headpat your local Avali! What else could they be made for! Not only are Avali soft, and wonderful to feel on your hand, but a headpat is VERY appreciated by almost all Avali! Headpat an Avali today! ^^

I had suuuuch a good time at #ANE2026!! Thank you to all friends who made it such a special and good time! Packing up my yeehaws and saddling up for Texas…

Birds of a feather flock together! #ane2026

A message for you all to carry through the year

POV: you ate all the nuggies and didn’t give her any

2025 was an impossibly hard year of devastating loss, grief, change. But it also became a year of renewed passion for art, travel, and friends lifting me up. It feels fitting this be the art to cap it off. Onward, bravely, to 2026! “My life is my creation and every day I will reach for the stars.”

Starting to see more ragebait on this platform and I’ve gotta just remind people to not relapse into outrage addiction. Block. Be so incredibly liberal with your block. Leave that shit on the other site.

I got word that an original painting that @spottacus.org commissioned me to create is now on auction via Goodwill. Auction ends in just a little over 1 day and is currently at just $30 so if you want an original painting of mine for an absolute steal, here's the link shopgoodwill.com/item/251172556

Aaaa!

MERYVALI IS FINALLY WORKING!!! *soyjack point* LOOOOOK LOOK AT HER!! 3-FOOT-NOTHIN' OF TROUBLE INCOMING (big thx to jayce for help troubleshooting blender/unity issues!)
