My Janoiry entries will be featuring my OCs' character designs, but the relationships, personalities, situations, and events depicted may differ from the canon of those characters.

In a grayscale style accented with highlights and washes of neon red and neon blue, an anthropomorphic border collie in a light-colored trench coat walks down a sloped street in a heavy rain. Reflected in his eyes and in the windows of the buildings behind him, we can see a red neon flower and a blue neon "cinema" sign. He looks deeply depressed as he gazes upon the those signs which, of course, are behind our vantage point, up and to our right. The image is framed with red and blue neon lights. The artist's signature stamp is in the lower right hand corner.
An anthropomorphic wolf in a white dress shirt, black slacks, and a black tie sits grieving in a somewhat fancy parlor chair in front of a plain coffin on a low table with a white tablecloth over it. The space is somewhat dark, and spotlights illuminate the wolf and the coffin, separately. The entire work is grayscale, and it is a work in progress.
#Janoiry, prompts 1 and 2.
1. #Neon
2. #Missing
"Missing" remains a #workinprogress. There are 31 days in January, and with ten prompts, that leaves 3 days average of flex time for each prompt.

Closeup of a black tee shirt's print design. Three consecutive gradent ellipses were painted in pearlescent screen ink, one yellow, one blue, and one pink/red. A cut-out design printed on an opaque iron-on transfer sheet of thee cats cosplaying a Dalek, the Doctor, and a demon is superimposed and fixed, along with character labels denoting each depicted character.
Recently completed this gift for my niece. Features my brother's three #blackcats.

A social media post recounts a story about helping an older lady with limited English, reflecting on how having pink hair signaled trustworthiness and individuality.
Things are Terrible, but this isn't.

For clarity, am I being addressed concerning a perception that I am not supporting small artists, or being mentioned as an example of a small artist to support? (A lack of punctuation surrounding my username leaves room for either interpretation.)

Slowly getting back to costume work and I need some funds to buy basic materials such as glue and foam.
Four panel comic in a single column of four rows. Panels are twice as wide as they are tall. The borders look like torn, orange paper. Panel 1: An anthro Belgian blue cow pokes a hay lasagna with a fork and asks, "So, Sparky and Lammy, what are your plans for Thanksgiving. To her left, in the following order, sit an anthro cat eating sardines from a can, an anthro ewe dining on a salad, an anthro wolf preparing to sit next to the sheep, and an anthro border collie drawing on a tablet. The wolf interjects, "I'll be there, for one." Panel 2: Focus on the border collie, cheerfully blurting, "And we're having a turkey again, just like last year!" Panel 3: All the animals are taken aback, as the sheep, wolf and dog are all strict vegetarians. The sheep understands what he means and pinches her forehead in frustration at his blunder. Panel 4: The sheep gesticulates with her hands and says, "Over! We're having a turkey OVER! He's an old family friend." The wolf sighs, "Ah!" in relief. The collie, confused, asks, "Yeah, what else could I have meant?" The turkey is revealed to be sitting just next to him on his left. The turkey slams his fist on the table, propping himself up with his other hand as he leans over the table in a wheezing fit of laughter. The background of each panel is a Greek-inspired row of marble pillars in front of a field of green grass strewn with fallen autumn leaves, while a city skyline rises above it in the furthest reaches of the field of view.
Happy #Thanksgiving!
And Spark E., my boy... remember to work on your phrasing!

Thumbnail for a YouTube video. An anthropomorphic border collie wearing a burgundy tee shirt and beret with an army-green tactical vest stands saluting next to a caption in big, yellow, handwritten-looking letters that reads, "Barkouring for the Man, (whatever that means.)" The background is the inside of a airplane setting from the game Barkour, by VarsaV Game Studios. There is a red border around the thumbnail.
Did a #LetsPlay for the #Barkour demo by #VarsaVGameStudios
Reasons to play:
• You are a Dog.
• You are an Agent.
• Gameplay styles include Barkour, Stealth, and Combat.
I also post an open VA audition... just in case.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.
Saw this on the other site and wanted to share it here. Furry artist ardwoof has been detained by ice for the last few weeks. here is the GoFundMe link their family/friends have set up to help with their legal fees:

A picture of me wearing a fursona hat, fursona gloves, an American flag button down shirt, a black long-sleved tee shirt, and beige pants. A mask of my fursona is hanging from one ear. Blue backgound
A picture of me with my back turned somewhat to the camera and my visage facing the camera as well, wearing those same fursona gloves, the same fursona hat, the same American flag button down shirt, the same black long-sleeved tee shirt, the same beige pants, and a white-tipped fluffy black cosplay tail. The same fursona mask is hanging from the same ear. Same blue background.
A closeup of my face in the fursona hat and fursona mask properly in place. I'm wearing a black and purple hoodie in this picture, but that wasn't part of the actual costume. Blue background.
Just realized I never showed the #cosplay I wore to #NoKingsDay2.
I took these after coming home from the event. At the event itself, I actually wore a soft black long-sleeved turtleneck shirt instead of the regular long-sleeved tee shirt.

Follow-up #teaser to the #furrycomic #wip.
He just can't stop laughing! I'm tentatively naming him Simon Wattles. I've not attempted an anthropomorphic bird before, and for a #turkey, I think I aced the design.

Single panel from a comic work in progress. Five anthropomorphic animals have gathered at a long table: a Belgian blue cow, a gray tabby cat, a ewe, a wolf, and a border collie. The cow is getting ready to eat a large slice of hay lasagna, the cat is enjoying a can of sardines, the ewe is getting ready to eat a salad, the wolf is just about to sit down, and the collie is drawing on a tablet. The cow asks, "Sparky, Lammy, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?" The wolf, who is apparently the ewe's boyfriend, tenderly declares, "I'll be there, for one." in the background, behind a row of greek columns, is a grassy area littered with fallen autumn leaves, and in the distance, there is a city skyline.
First-panel teaser ( #wip ) for #Thanksgiving that will probably run close to the wire for time.

A six-face expression sheet for an anthropomorphic ewe named Lambda Erickson, or Lam E., arranged in two rows and three columns. Background is pink with repeated daisy-head pattern and a slight shadow vignette. Top left: wearing turtleneck sweater, hair tied, looking canvas-right, apparently either annoyed or offended. Top middle: wearing turtleneck sweater, hair tied, grinning widely, eyes closed, exposing her pearly whites. She has the approximate dental structure of an actual sheep, with front top teeth replaced with an extension of her upper gum known as a dental pad. Her ears are drooped bashfully to the side of her head. Top right: relaxed, wearing a tank top and blue-tinted sunglasses, showing a shorn neckline and shoulders, hair not tied, smiling with a Mona Lisa-like expression, leaning back, head tilted slightly upwards, quartering to canvas right, but eyes facing canvas left. Bottom left: wearing pink tee shirt, hair tied, head quartering downward and canvas left, winking with her right eye, sticking her tongue out mischievously. Bottom middle: wearing a pink winter coat with a gray fleece-lined collar and an off-white scarf with green and red plaid pattern, hair tied, looking almost straight at the viewer with blank-staring eyes and the corners of her mouth spread wide with an unimpressed look. Bottom right: wearing turtleneck sweater, face quartering upward and canvas left, screaming in horror, eyes slightly red and looking downward and canvas right.
Character expression sheet for Lambda Erickson ("Lam E."). In the summertime she wears a pink T-shir7, usually with a sheep related pun. She saves the wool from her yearly shearing appointment to make clothing for herself and gifts for her loved ones.

A softly shaded image of an anthropomorphic ewe with a shorn neckline speckled with gray stubble, wearing a pink tee shirt and several pink hairties. She has blond hair and light blue eyes, white face coat, and pale fleshtone on the nose, chin, inside of the ears, and on the shorn neckline. She is winking and sticking her tongue out, with a mischievous (but not unkind) expression on her face. The open eye almost makes eye contact with the viewer, but not quite, with the direction of the eye pointing over the viewer's right shoulder. The background is pink with a subtle dark muted purple vignette, with a repeated pattern of a single daisy bloom facing upward. There is a hashtag displayed in the upper right corner of the canvas. It reads (hashtag) tongue-out-tuesday. In the lower right corner is the artist's signature.
Happy #TongueOutTuesday, from Lambda Erickson!
Her expression sheet from last week has a new expression!
And have a good rest of your week!
Lam E. believes in you...
You've got this!

Summary of the text in the image: Paragraph 1: I was worried I might not be able to attend No Kings Day in nearby town, but was able to attend, and turned up in costume. Didn't take photos, got worn out halfway through, went home. Paragraph 2: Inflatable costumes present at event, some participants brought their pets along. General reception of message warmer than previous turnouts. Paragraph 3: Saw two vehicles with Trump banners pass by. Given MAGA's claim that the No Kings movement hates America, it's worth mentioning that the only notable American flags were the ones being carried by the No Kings event participants. Paragraph 4: One of the three signs I had printed to share at the rally was quickly claimed. The other two I carried with me and alternated which one I displayed as I gradually migrated down the street until I found a grassy curbside to kneel on and show both side-by-side. Several participants complemented my doggy costume (comprised of a hat, mask, gloves, and tail) and my signs, and two of them asked for pictures, which I happily obliged.
I held signs at a nearby town for #NoKings Day 2.0.
Here's a Chronicle of my recollection of the event.
I'm currently convalescing from a cold/flu, so it wasn't easy deciding whether or not to go.
Fortunately, I inserted a filter in my mask, and I was mostly able to maintain social distancing.

It occurs to me presently that having people contact me directly for these might present a perceived or real privacy risk to some. So I'm making these available publicly:
Tracing tags are removed:
Protest Poster Design, Halloween themed. In a cobweb-filled room of a gothic castle bathed in orange light, a window looks out upon a spooky but starry sky with a full moon. In the room, a green elf-like necromancer wearing a star spangled hood and cape and a red-and-white striped robe hefts one hand upward at about chest level, palm upward and fingers curved into a grasping gesture. In his open palm, a blue, flame-shaped spell appears to take form. Above and below, in lime-green comic book block lettering, reads a prominent caption: "Resurrect Democracy!"
One last poster... as it turns out, I will be attending the #NoKings protest on October 18 in my local area. I'll bring all three signs just in case I have someone to hand one off to. Thinking of inviting a person or two I have in mind.

If anyone wants to use these as protest signs or posters, send me a DM. I'll respond with a link (with the identifying tag removed) to the full-resolution files without Nightshade or Glaze alterations.
A Political Halloween Poster: Floating head of U.S. president donalt rump in a minimalistic caricature as a vampire, with blood-dripping fangs, glowing red eyes in dark sunken sockets, orange makeup on unnaturally pale skin with the edges of the face not quite covered by the fake tan, and tiny bat wings on the side of the head. Above and below, in bold, red, comic-book block lettering with a few black and white layers of outline and highlights and shadows added for dimensionality, it reads, "Fascism Sucks!" The background is dark, muted blue, with a glowing red circular aura (because let's not call it a "halo") around the monster's head.
Halloween-themed anti-MAGA protest poster design: A gray werewolf wearing a Statue of Liberty style crown and an open front collared shirt and pants based on the American flag being displayed vertically howls (or roars) with his mouth open in the light of a pale full moon against a sky mottled with cloud cover. In the grass beneath his foot is a tattered red MAGA flag mottled with urine puddles. Above and below in bold, yellow comic book block text is a large caption: "Make Your Voices Heard!" Two translucent and orange-tinted thorny callout balloons read, "No monstrous Kings!!" and "Only Monster Masquerades!!"
I heard that Indivisible was encouraging Halloween parade events with anti-MAGA protest in mind.
Currently, there doesn't appear to be one planned in my area, but I've made some Halloween-themed protest signs/posters for anyone expecting to have one in their area.
Conversion therapy destroys you. It's torture. I was waterboarded with vinegar until I said I was a boy and wanted to be a boy. I still have nightmares about it to this day.
That's what they want SCOTUS to protect.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.
This is Kirk's legacy.
You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.
I'm sure it gets said a lot but if you send me a message that's just "hi/hey" and nothing else, I will likely not respond. #bweh
