Also, I swear I'm going to post art again soon, I've been on holiday and have had zero desire to pump out the goods.

I finally watched One Battle After Another and Eddington this week and am using it as an excuse to plug the Letterboxd I need to start using more. If you're interested, follow. If you aren't, don't!

I have not been posting as I have been enjoying just hanging out in Boston. However, I have gotten an iPad and Procreate and wish to ask for any mutuals or followers that use it -- any particular tips or settings I should be aware of for Procreate/drawing on an iPad in general?

Just spent the whole dry driving around Massachusetts. Done apple picking, sightseeing, etc. Got a slight sunburn, the first proper day out I've had since I was a kid.

Exhausted after literally spending hours going between anatomy books and simplified references to try and improve. We're getting there.

Shattered Grail premiere stream tonight at 7pm pacific! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R958...

It's almost time for another TTRPG from @gnollplaying.games ! In preparation, here's a little art I put together of @marrowhyena.bsky.social 's character from the upcoming campaign, Valerian!

Decided to finally pick up an iPad. Refurbished, older model, mostly as a portable tablet. Hoping it will improve my art production since my giant-ass XP-Pen is just annoying to set up sometimes. If any artist mutuals use Procreate, would love to hear any tips/suggestions w/ regards to using it!

It is crazy to realise, just now, that my birthday is also Bowser Day. This is not a complaint. Everyone is basically just incidentally treating me to prime DILF porn while I scroll lmao.

31 years old today. Feeling that dust settle in my bones.

Character iteration for my partner and I's VN for the protagonist. Been working on this for the past week after spending a lot of time trying to do style variation. Crazy how different he looks between the two sketches.

This is how hardcore censorship begins. Download the guide. Get as many of your books offline as possible. They won't stop here.

screw it imma start making propaganda posters to stop this dumb payment processing fascism. here's one

I'm sure there'll be other things that pop up (such as contacting politicians and payment processors). Still, if you're concerned about the situation with itch.io, Steam, and other sites hosting adult content, I would suggest signing this petition. action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Been sketching again to try and really work on getting my 2D art anywhere and finally got around to drawing a slight reworking of my primary OC that I've had in my head for a while, as well as formally naming them as Ash publicly! (cont'd)

Uuuuugh. Turning 30 has cursed me with legs that will decide to wake up in some kinda pain. Usually it's in my ankles or feet but today one of my thighs is so sore lmao

Watching the gameplay presentation for the new DK game coming out finally, and I know we all agree DK's new design is hot, but can we also talk about how good the music is? Like?? I don't know when I'm getting a Switch 2, but this game is just ticking all the boxes for me.

Late night (early morning) bust practicing, testing new brushes and enjoying the results! #furry #furryart

I...manifested a fox guy, I guess?? lmao #furry #furryart

Trying to start getting into more 2D work again. I've started experimenting with some more freehand sketching. The only real structure work in the initial sketch was the usual sphere mapping, just to have a rough idea of where to orient the face. I'm pretty happy with my results here!

I have more than once come to the realisation I would sculpt way faster if I used my tablet, but using my mouse is so engrained in me that it feels really uncomfortable and inconvenient to try and do lmao

Been a while since I post any kind of 3D progress work, so here's a bust I just wrapped up. About 2 hrs of work without really any idea where I was going with it other than wolf/canine and wanting to practice building from a sphere and working on my general process. Pretty happy with the results!

reposting the 🧈🔪 from @gnollplaying.games 's cape escape 2, Dakota is played by @horrorbuns.art buns.art and Javier is played by @illusorywall.bsky.social all.bsky.social

Hey all! Sorry for being quiet recently. I ended up being more busy/in my own head at the end of March and didn't get the stuff I wanted to done. And now I'm in Boston with my partner and I've been more preoccupied with enjoying myself! I will be back to stuff in May, hopefully!

Ughh. I was planning to be more constant with my sculpts, and I was planning to do some more practice stuff as I've talked about (and showed) recently, but I've been incredibly stressed lmao. Would still like to get one more done this week at least, but not sure. Just a very anxious time rn.

Just did a very quick practice sculpt, forced myself to limit myself to an hour and just see how far I could get. Very rough, as I wanted to get it to a semi-presentable point, but happy with the results.

Emotions not regulating this week. Literally one thing can ruin my day and then I just don't recover like wtf I'm over here trying to be a person

Decided to start off my quick busts with @toaster.live ! This took me roughly about two hours to make. I figured it would be easiest to start here since I know Toaster has plenty of art and a full ref sheet of his character to work from. (cont'd)

Thinking of doing some quick "one-session" sketch sculpts of some mutuals OCs or something over the next week. This is not interaction bait, don't want anyone to feel like they would have to like/repost/whatever, more doing this because I'm not going to be able to do anything creative (cont'd)

Another small stream, more progress of this bust! I don't know if I will stream more of this particular project, but I do want to continue with this character. Very happy with the progress here!

About to begin streaming some bust sculpting! The channel is online now, but I'm still a little bit out from getting started! www.twitch.tv/haleyct_ #Furry

Will probably be streaming around 12-1230AM GMT/8-830PM Eastern! Will be continuing to work on the same bust. No music, bring your own, come and chill, feel free to ask questions! Will be here: www.twitch.tv/haleyct_

Just did retopology on the base sculpt from the other day, thinking of maybe streaming further sculpting progress on Sunday, will make another post with details later!

The first build of me and my partner's VN is now out! You can check it out here: haley-ct.itch.io/taking-the-p... My partner (Grawlix) doesn't really have much of a presence in the community, but he wrote Marco's route and most of the introduction and I'll be sending any comments his way!

Finished up the stream a bit early since I finished what I was primarily working on tonight. Will probably try streaming again and experimenting with times as well as trying to give more of a heads-up. Will probably continuing work on this same bust next time!

Going to be streaming for a couple hours, working on some sculpting. Mostly just practicing, it'll be a chill time! No music on stream because I generally just listen to copyrighted stuff, but feel free to put on your own tunes! www.twitch.tv/haleyct_ #furry

The Love + Attraction Jam is now over! Thank you to everyone who submitted entries <3 Here are my final thoughts + a link to all the entries itch.io/blog/897153/...

The first build of me and my partner's VN is now out! You can check it out here: haley-ct.itch.io/taking-the-p... My partner (Grawlix) doesn't really have much of a presence in the community, but he wrote Marco's route and most of the introduction and I'll be sending any comments his way!

So anyway, I've been both incredibly unwell and/or stuck in the writing mines the past month lmao. But hopefully you will all get to see the fruits of my (and my partner's) labour in, like, a couple days.

👀

Might not be up still when it hits New Year here, so going to send it out now. It's been a crazy year for me, easily flip-flopping between the worst and best time. But I have a partner who loves me, a feeling of optimism in my art and the direction my life's headed for the first time in forever.

Heyo, got a request form up! For the time being, I can only take on a handful of these, but I will leave the form up until 12-25 ~12pm cst. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thinking I might start streaming again in the new year. Make more work out of my usual experimenting and practice sessions. Also might help me be more regular, I dunno.

Back on some 2D art again, and was very proud of this sketch -- much more so because it might be for...something...I'm working on down the line. (Never hold me to anything, I'm bad at finishing projects.)

A moment of contemplation, under a starless sky. A short, first piece of "animation" (really just playing with the camera), and a piece done of personal favourite fictional character of mine, @toaster.live 's Taslin Beck from the fantastic Deadlaws actual play by @gnollplaying.games

The lobby is open for tonight's stream at 7pm pacific! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzJk...

Been a rough week or so, so haven't worked on much. But did a quick sketch of Jet from @gnollplaying.bsky.social 's Cape Escape TTRPG, the second season of which starts this week. Really struggled with his fur pattern in particular, might return to this in the future.

More WIP sharing, this time for something I'm hoping to work on further! Experimenting with sculpting in fur again, always been a weak spot of mine. #furryart
