NGL, missing the warm summer vibes... (Otter/Orca named Sylia, for ArchTeryx) COMMISSIONS OPEN : vgen.co/LizardbethArt

Weird but wonderful crossover between the super talented @sheeptastic.bsky.social and @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social, drawn by Abbey. Sylia meeting a Lovecraftian Aberration. And sharing sugar cookies with him. A meeting made in... somewhere! #furry #emmy #sylia #laurenkisich #sheeptastic

Some things don't need many words. This is Sylia hugging @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social for all she does for her customers. She is a joy and a pleasure to work with and she wanted a Sylia hug. Wish granted. #macro #Sylia #halavaverse #laurenkisich #theabbeyroadie #hugs

CW: Vore A rare post from me. Why? Because it involves a pred made prey-for comedy, rather than a true role switch. My recently created character, Petal the ostrich, is young, brash, and overconfident, and decides to take on Postle, the apex predator of the Dweet-Tea's zoo.

Everybody has to have a stinger these days. What happens when Nimona returns home, in Halavahdon form, just to troll Ballister? The inevitable freakout. At least they're not going to fire heavy artillery at her this time. Having kaiju forms outside her Shadow Dragon and Light Phoenix gonna be FUN.

And now for something *completely* different. Being a Stephen King fan for decades, when I first saw Lobo from The Last Wish, my ears perked up, and I started to do a little research. I was right. Turns out the character is *heavily* based off the Stephen King Big Bad Randall Flagg.

This one is just too cute for words. I love getting pictures with the Halavahcubs, and this is no exception. fel-Nimona the Warrior, in one great breach, shows just how quickly she can change shape. A literal skin-diver! Art is by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social as usual, off-stream.

And now for something a little different: Sylia done manga style by @ukabor.bsky.social / Heigen. He does a beautiful job with the big girl, giving her just the right mix of friendly and alien appearance. A very good job by one of my favorite Japanese artists! #sylia #halavahverse #ukabor #furry

This has to be one of my favorite of the series, bar none. The farewell, when the Halavahdon prepare to send Nimona back to her realm. The cubs, though, have their own good-bye to give, and it's salve on a millenia-old wound. And the Halavahdon learned something from the experience.

Let's step back into the past a few steps. Before they let ANYONE near their kids, Kytana, who is a powerful psychic, gives Nimona an interview. It nearly goes disastrously wrong, but Ky knows a hurt kid when she sees one no matter how ancient they are. She has had enough of her own.

The ultimate honor for a newly minted Warrior: To be "knighted" by mar-Tykoni herself, Benefactor Pod chief and the most important Matriarch on the planet. Once a Warrior, forever a Warrior, no matter where her travels take her and what form she is in. She earned this. And now she has two homes.

Part 4 (final) of Nimona vs. Longjaw. The Longjaw finally gets the point and swims for his life. That smirk of Nimona's could be seen a mile away. And as for Chief Lothann? He's impressed. It's *hard* to impress him. Atta girl, Nimona. That's a creche full of cubs safe.

Part 3 of Nimona vs. Longjaw. You are being confronted by a giant pink whale. What would you expect the vector of attack to be? If you guessed, "Breathe fire underwater at opponent" congrats. You know Nimona better than she knows herself. Nobody tell Todd (from the movie). His brain would melt.

A little more context to the series: -How did Nimona get to Halavahworld? Like everyone else, an Explorer Pod member (Sylia?) brought her back. -Was she kidnapped? HELL NO. You think anyone could force NIMONA to go anywhere she didn't want to go? -Why'd she leave Ballister? Vacation.

"This is the part where you RUN." I'd take her advice, young Longjaw. This isn't any ordinary Halavahdon warrior, and your day is about to get thoroughly ruined. Art is by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social, who's doing a smash-up job with this Nimona/Halavahdon crossover. Let's break stuff.

The story continues! A wide patrol scout swims up and issues a quick burst of Halavahdon, answered by mel-Lothann. Here's Nimona's chance to prove just how much she can whack tailflukes. Protect the cubs! Art is by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social, who loves drawing these gigantic whotters!

Unlike most Warrior Halavahdon, Nimona loves kids, and here she is helping train a couple. One's trying to swim the "human" way - with arms and legs. It's not very effective. The other cub is swimming like a Halavahdon, undulating her body, legs, and tail together like a dolphin. And they can MOTOR.

(1/4) Just as a sort of PSA, what exactly *are* these strange Halavahdon creatures? They were originally a creation of @kencougr.bsky.social-in 1992. He made a single picture of one, included here, and no more. But they captured my imagination because it was the first example of a harmless macro...

Simpler than the last one, this is Sylia visiting her creche, singing the comforting song "Look Through My Eyes" from Brother Bear. She's letting the cubs know... there are whole other worlds out there! Art by the marvelous @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social. Go give her some business!

One of my favorite things to do with the Halavahdons and their stories is crossovers. It makes for some really interesting encounteres. Here's one such such crossover, with Nimona taking a vacation from her normal home to hang out on Sanctuary. Being the person she is... she's quickly given a pod.

-completely buries you in tail-

youtu.be/-1KfSNzblCc?... A lot of very good points here. Yes. Listen to this, furry artists. This has been a huge problem for 45 years, but there's positive aspects to this video despite the clickbait title.

It's portfolio day! I'm grimm or Ash and I draw a lot of dragons, enjoy ttrpgs, monster hunter, and other fantasy creatures

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.
