So tired of getting paid to fail and disappoint people. I need a job I'm good at. One that doesn't go against my grain. One I excel at naturally, not just when I have the energy to mask every aspect of myself to make a good first impression.

Bacon is an overrated, one-dimensional food whose flavor dominates and competes for every other flavor in a dish 99% of the time. Putting it in an otherwise balanced dish is not an improvement, but a culinary cop-out. Be better.

REVAMPING MY PATREON!! Scheduled daily posts for the next week, and some spicy/NSFW WIPs and sketches for paid members! patreon.com/XelArtz

I'm super stoked to get to work on a piece with my friend again and even though we've only gone over the basic idea, I'm already really excited about it!

I wanted this done a while ago but ... complex characters + perfectionism is holding me back. Ani obv working on it too but then I refine refine refine... questions? Compliments? Ridicule?? XD Also with this detail level, is there any interest in a comm or combo comm in the future from me/us?

Wanna see my messy ass process? It involves constant reiteration; redrawing, lasso and moving, liquefy tool, etc. What you (thankfully) don't see is me constantly mirroring the canvas to check for issues. No, the skeleton is not part of my process. It's unique to this pic ^_^

I used photo reference of myself for the hands! I tried drawing them a few times and failed. So I traced them and drew over the trace. It's good to try and draw what you can, but at the end of the day, you're here to make art, and if you have to trace a few things, there's no shame in that!

People see pics of me and assume I'm this massive 6'4" amazonian giantess. I'm closer to the opposite. I'm a WOLVERINE. Y'all think I need to duck through doorways? I need a phone book to see over the steering wheel! "Crush me mommy" OK as soon as I'm done crying "uppies!" in the cereal aisle >_>

I'm a damn SEAMSTER now too! Blacksmith, Leatherworker, Woodworker, Seamster and who knows what's next? I'm doing ALL OF IT.

(WIP) This year I'm coming out of the gate like a bat out of hell

Sometimes, the place I call home doesn't even seem real, and it's easy to forget the rest of the world.

(2 minute timelapse) I was 150 feet up a cliff, but I could still hear the faint crackle of ice sheets

Had a nice cold (5ºF) walk along the coastal cliffs today

New leshen for the New Year ~

Fuck it, it's nude year and I've had a whiskys or 3 and I never drink so enjoy the one drunk skeet I'll prolly ever make Did you know gogurt is just REGULAR YOGURT?! think about what else you've been lied to about. fuck the patriarchy, down with capitalism. And pants. wtf did they ever do for you?

Cheers

My next most reskeeted pic was this creepy ass pic of my spouse's OC, Gyoza, owned by @pozzombi.bsky.social

Time for my 2025 recap! This pic of Sabine the sHyena absolutely blew everything else out of the water in every metric!

My 3rd ever knife with a sheath on it. I'm actually kinda proud of this one, might end up using it as an EDC. Blade is 5160 and handle is Mahogany.

In 2025, I shared a lot of my less polished works. It's been scary. It feels like I'm exposing this imperfect version of myself. Despite that, being so vulnerable has helped me grow and become more confident. So my 2026 resolution is to be more vulnerable, and to share more of my imperfections.

My 2025 resolution was to take the stairs to my 6th floor office, even on lunch or breaks! I climbed about 3100 floors! Roughly 38,000 feet! Around 7 vertical miles!

Y'all can go out and party tonight if you want. This Gulo's gonna cozy up at home and chomp on some weiners

Happy New Year! Hope you enjoy the fireworks like Xela does 💥🎆✨ Wishing you all the best for 2026 and a big hearty GOOD RIDDANCE to 2025 #xelartz #furry #furryart #art #fireworks

We're still taking work orders. I've got some huge bills on the horizon. Appointments are usually scheduled within the week. Turnaround is same day or day after payment. If you're budget-conscious please let us know about that, we're usually able to work out something affordable.

@shyenadraws.bsky.social is very humble.

Despite sounding like a 2-stroke motor and having no tits, Mu gets misgendered all the time in the comic. But while I'm here... -taps sign- Mu is they/them!

I do love my new handle, sHyena... But I also miss literally never seeing "name already taken" when I was AKGuloGulo

I lost the game

The urge to make new art is strong. I want to come out of the gate hard for 2026

The cool thing about being trans is that you don't have to "pass" to be HOT AS FUCK

Christmas Tree + Aurora My annual christmas landscape piece! #christmas #art #xelartz

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED FOR THE MASSIVE NURGLE BONG.

You better watch out You better watch out You better watch out YOU BETTER WATCH OUT

Hey dude, if they can't handle your weird fetish art, are they really your friends?

my brain whenever someone says, "layman."

Second Christmas gift. I had a much harder time with this one. It felt like I couldn't quite get the colours right, and it really doesn't photograph well. I'm very glad to be done, though. My wrists hurt so damn bad.

I've enjoyed some time off to care for my spouse, play with my dots, spend time reading my friend's books, play piano, Ocarina of Time... No "unwinding" from a stressful day at work. No trying to cram in as much art as I can while exhausted. No dreading tomorrow. Just... living, if nothing else.

10 pm when everyone is asleep, time to post art Lines done! Aiming to finish this one before the new year. This is my friend's character who gives babies to evil wizards. Or maybe it's a singular baby. I'm not totally clear on the details. #wrsArt #Art #Lineart #fantasyart #furryart #dndart

I've have had 5 surgeries in the past 4 years, but none of that is as hard as caring for someone else who's just HAD surgery. I just hate seeing my possum in so much pain >_< I wish I could take it from them. I'm a tank, not a healer 😭

Horizon Zero Dawn and DLC completed and now I’m installing Horizon Forbidden West! I had a really good time with Zero Dawn and am really hoping for the same

I've practically handed my boss a manual on how to get the most out of me as an employee. Idk how else to get it through to them: I thrive off positive reinforcement. Just tell me "good job" once in a fucking while. IT'S THAT EASY. You want me to bark like a good dog? THEN FUCKING SAY "GOOD DOG!"

After scavenging carcasses, fending off predators, digging tunnels, climbing trees, enduring harsh weather, breaking into people's cabins, and swimming through ice-cold rivers, it can be nice to take a nap.

God damn the Killing Floor 1 theme goes so hard. The KF2 version is heavier, sure, but the KF1 theme is SO dark and industrial and crunchy as fuck UNF!

How hard is it to turn a VRC avatar into a Vtuber avatar?
