This week's boudle sketch stream was full of fat bears in honour of fat bear week! Gosh do I love bears! #BoudleStreams

Today's #FatBearWeekFurry shout-out is the wonderful @westboidave.bsky.social! Westy's art is just so adorable. From the vibrant colors to the clean lines to the INCREDIBLE shapes, his art always gives me a smile when I see it pop up on my screen. Just so round and squishable and EEEEEE I love it!

Phenomenal Biceptember YCH piece by @seintaur.bsky.social! Thanks again for this!! Cal's still not used to dressing like that in public, even if it's just at the gym. It certainly gives him quite the good view in the wall-to-wall mirrors.

Also yeah, it's Fat Bear Week, so this is back on the mind again.

First artist to show off for Fat Bear Week is the ever-charming @berspring.bsky.social! You can always trust a bear to draw a bear, and Berspring proves that so well! His watercolor-esque style always looks so pleasant, and his shading really shows off big bear shapes. #FatBearWeekFurry

A little thing for Fat Bear Week this year: I will be shouting out some artists that do a great job drawing large bears. Inspired by what @vectorvictory.bsky.social did for August, I'll share one artist each day for the week, then a whole bunch on Friday! #septembear #fatbearweekfurry

IT IS TIME. FAT BEAR WEEK IS UPON US. Go support the Katmai National Park's bracket for their bears. Our parks and the critters that dwell there need our support more than ever. And also, please show me your fat bear art. Lastly, eat lots of good food and give your friends big bear hugs. 🐻🧡🫂

When you’re this big, you’re bound to step on *something* - might as well aim for the ‘energy farms’ that are powering AI models. This wuff supports human creativity, intelligence, and potential. Down with AI! 🎨 by: @jonathanvair.bsky.social

That latest art piece of mine reminds me that I really oughta get myself a new bathrobe. Haven't had one in ages, and I have a strong desire to be cozy.

I don't get to do it often, but some mornings, nothing beats sipping a nice cup of tea, sitting on the couch in a comfy robe. Thanks again @berspring.bsky.social for this lovely piece!

Big Bear in the morning...

He saw you enter the room <3

Update: I spent far too much money on snacks today. (Worth it.)

If anyone else finds the bear that took my snacks, please let me know.

A certain bear ate all my snacks again. As such, I'm putting him in charge of resupplying them tomorrow after work.

I have no spoons tonight. I'm just scared. And tired. I wish I could go crawl into a cave and hibernate for winter.

Not every moment calls for being well-dressed and fancy. Sometimes, a bear's just gotta sit down and chill for a bit in some shorts. Thanks again to @guie404.bsky.social for the YCH! Knew from the moment I saw the base that "Yeah, Calbar would fit here nicely," and I was indeed correct.

Due to the current state of things I have decided to become goo xox

Daily bunny no.2072 is in bear country

Ok, yeah, we're back in this mood today. BIG bear mood for sure. I blame @erebusfe.bsky.social in part. Now, hand over the cookies. I know you've got 'em somewhere.

Happy Monday everyone xox

Biceptember is in full swing, so bear's gotta get these curls in! Thanks again @pachipunch.bsky.social for the wonderful piece!!

[comm 3/5 finished] - 💪🐻 for @centurioncalbar.bsky.social - thank you so much!!

Buckle up, babes, the fattening is almost upon us. Mark your calendars: Fat Bear Junior: September 18-19 Fat Bear Week: September 23-30

Something I realized in the art I've gotten of Calbar is that he looks a lot more confident than I thought he would. And, well, a lot more confident than I ever thought I could be. And you know what? It has made me realized that I'm finally getting a little more confident, too. That feels good.

Well... Are you just gonna stand there and stare? Or are you going to fetch me some more? Winter prep isn't gonna happen on its own. Thank you so much @wazplm52.bsky.social for this piece! I know it's a tad early for Fat Bear Week, but I had to indulge myself a little bit in advance. ;) 🐻👈🍪🍪🍪

the septembear to decembear gauntlet has begun. be prepared 🐻🤝🐻

🚨YCH ALERT🚨 Here is my first YCH y'all! It'll be $40 USD | Flat Color I will be taking 10 slots for now Any species with custom shorts DM me or TG @/guie404

Returning to Banook sketches. The archer bear on the Relinquished Realms cover is not Banook, but Kitjári, but so far I’ve just been drawing genericBearMale1.jpg instead of her. There will be a cool illustration of her in Book 4 though! #Doodles 🧵 12/?

More bears! The realistic kind again. I’ve been enjoying figuring out shading in solid blocks, like the two on the bottom right. I draw a quick line first to mark the edge of the shadow and then fill it in (it's surprising how much better it looks with that line). #Doodles 🧵 10/?

Wanted to make @heavyrocksboar.bsky.social something to lift his spirits while he's recovering, and the piece he got from @highforce059.bsky.social inspired me. So, 🅱️ig 🅱️oaris is now a Magic card! He is, of course, FAR too big and strong to truly fit within one card frame. Best wishes, Boris! 🐻🫂🐗💪

A page filled with bears I did during our camping trip 🐻🐾✨

Just add a bowtie (and maybe a bottle) and it's @gummibjorn.bsky.social Surprise commission because he's persistent* *a pest

I know I've been a good bear going to the gym lately, but I still enjoy a nice pint of ice cream. Thanks again @berspring.bsky.social for the piece! You can always trust a bear to do a phenomenal job showing off a bear in some art!

Big Bear winding down... Commission for @centurioncalbar.bsky.social! Thank you so much!

Pile o’ Bears 🐻💤

But going back to bears for a moment, I also drew more realistic ones. When the doodles are too small, the dot eyes and other drawing shorthands make them look toony, so the smaller the drawing the derpier they get. #Doodles 🧵 4/?

Massive thread of doodles incoming! I’ll be posting one set a day—I have so many, and I wanna keep them neatly organized. These were all done for the signed Noss Saga hardcovers. First up, of course, BEARS 🐻 #Doodles 🧵 1/?

I firmly believe that the best course of action in life is to lift others up around you. Remember to be kind today, to yourself, to your friends and to the strangers around you. Treat others fairly, as you’d want them to treat you. You never know what they might be going through. Stay strong yall!

Leftover cheesy garlic bread just hits different (i.e., so much better) at 1am.

Feeling the strong desire to meet up at a house with a bunch of fellow bears and just eat an ungodly amount of pizza.

I love being a furry, and I love my furry friends so much! Y'all have helped me more than I can possibly express, and more than I could ever possibly repay you for. Endless big bear hugs to you, my friends.

Present me has acquired more snacks. Future me can calm down. For now.

Past me ate all my snacks, and now present me is grumpy at him.

Hold wolp gentle like hamburger #Doodles

"I'm gonna be so good at hugs! Gonna make all these reps & sets worth it!" [from off-screen]: "Cal, you've been using the fly machine for 30 minutes. You gotta give someone else a turn." Thank you so much for this, @pachipunch.bsky.social !!!!!
