When the lights go out without warning, you're still here to bear the night. Had a go at 1-bit pixel art and made this vent piece. ::: spoiler Alt text A low resolution 1-bit (2 color) pixel art image. Pictured is an anthro fox Foxfire sitting on the ground behind a lantern. The lantern has burned out and smoke is rising upward. Foxfire is looking down at the lantern with a sad expression. The bottom of the image says Lights - out. :::

One can only dream of having such a power. Haven't really used the toon force much, so here's something absurd that I had a lot of fun making! ::: spoiler Alt text A digital comic starring two characters, a Foxfire and Pass-Man. Foxfire is an anthro red fox with reddish-brown fur, blue eyes, dark gray paws, cream colored muzzle and tail tip. Pass Man is an anthro, buff orange lion, sporting a brown mane and a superhero style lime green suit and yellow cape. The suit has an emblem in the middle which is an open lock with two astericks inside it. Pass Man is humbly smiling with his eyes closed, standing next to a computer desk with a login page open. Foxfire is staring, wide-eyed with a giant open mouth beaming expression. Foxfire asks Pass Man "What's your superpower?" In the second panel Pass Man stares directly at the viewer, one paw bean pointing upward. He has a confident expression, mouth open and behind a backdrop of alternating light yellow lines. He says "I don't retype my whole password if I make a typo while logging in." The third and fourth panel have become one in the same, as both have collided together. The borders are crushed and expanded at the center, and the divide between the two has shattered, chunks of comic border whizzing by. A whole manner of decor has been destroyed. Drywall exposed from peeling paint, cracks across the room, the computer screen now black, upside-down and airborn. A shelf, broken and barely hanging by a single screw, the ceiling light has fallen out, wires exposed, leaves from a plant slowly falling to the ground, and a plushie flying off screen. Foxfire has grabbed Pass Man literally through the panels, pressing his nose up to his, stars in his eyes. Pass Man has a shocked expression, pupils heavily shrunk. His cape is upward, still reacting to the force of the pull and sudden stop. Foxfire says "Wow! So cool!" Foxfire's tail is hanging out of the panel. Bottom of the comic has text which reads "Foxfire - Pass Man-ager". :::

Drew my best friend and little sister Stealthy! Went with a lineless approach because it seemed like it'd be a challenge and I hadn't done it in a while. ::: spoiler Alt Text A lineless digital drawing of an MtF cyan anthro fox named Stealthy. She has black ears, black paws, and black tips on her long cyan hair, some of which is covering your left (her right) side of the face. She has a white muzzle, turquoise eyes, a gray band above her nose and the middle of her tail, white claws, pink paw beans, and a white tail tip with a black zig-zag separating the tip from the rest of the cyan tail. She's wearing a cozy turquoise sweater, along with a darker turquoise skirt. Stealthy is beaming with a large, open mouth, fangs visible smile. She is waving her right (your left) arm up to say hello. She is standing on top of a large, cylindrical purple podium, and behind her is a light lavender backdrop with a few large darker wavy lines, along with a few white stars which dot the area. Beside her foot-paws is text on the ground which reads "Stealthy" :::

What are you waiting for, it's free! ::: spoiler Alt Text (Accessibility) Digital art of Kate, an anthro gray house-cat with long, brunette hair. She has part of her hair in a beehive, bangs, and the rest falling behind and over her shoulder. Kate is wearing pajamas, consisting of a loose fitting pink nightgown, and purple sweatpants. She is looking directly at the viewer, distinct tired bags under her eyes, with a large smug grin. Her left (your right) arm is gesturing towards an empty cardboard box beside her. The box is open, with all four flaps at varying heights on each side. To your right of Kate, and above the cardboard box, there is text which says "It's free real estate". Kate, the box, and the text have a large white stroke around them, imitating a sticker design. This phrase is a reference to a skit from Tim and Eric (Free House For You, Jim), which spread around and became a bit of a meme several years ago now. It is used in this context relating to cats tending to lay in shipping boxes. She is laying claim to the cardboard as if it were indeed, free real estate. :::

Didn't want to upload that same image from Reddit's furry_irl that gets posted each year, so I made my own. This is the only day this post will be accurate. Have a great 6/21 everyone! ::: spoiler Alt text (accessibility) A pixel art rendition of Esix, the mascot of E621, a website that hosts and tags furry art which is often explicit. Esix is an anthro feline like creature who has a literal hexagon for a face, a blue body, white ears with yellow tips, and yellow fingers. Portions of them, such as the fingers and ears, float above the body unconnected. The top of the image has text which says It's June 21st, where June is in a yellow ribbon styled rectangle, denoting the month portion of a simple calendar. The 21 is in a white square box under it, like a daily calendar you'd rip the page off of. The bottom of the image has Esix looking directly at the viewer with partially closed eyes and a big smile. Their right (your left) hand is pointing upward at the date. Their opposite side has Esix's yellow flame tail visible. This date is relevant because with dating methods which use Month/Day/Year or Year/Month/Day, it makes the number 6 21, which is the number for E621. It is mentioned in furry circles when it comes around each year. The background is darker blue, with a series of even darker hexagon rings that form a hexagon in the center. There is a dotted white outline which runs across the entire border of the image. :::

I think I made the right choice, I've heard people are dying to get into these places after all. An idea exaggerated from 100 too many crises and no more spoons. Doing what you can, and focusing on what you can control is enough. ::: spoiler Alt Text (Accessibility) A four panel comic which uses exaggerated postures and colorful backdrops. The delivery should be read sarcastically. The first panel shows a disgruntled anthro mouse with brown fur, and light pink ears, hands, and tail. He's wearing a gray flat cap and a near black vest, which is opened to show a cream colored body. He's standing in a profile view, but with his hands holding a cocktail toothpick between his fingers, and his left (your right) arm is foreshortened towards you. The toothpick is also coming at you, with a sharp point and a sparkle at the end. There is text which says "We've reached an impasse. This is not sustainable!" This is in front is a purple background with a tunneling spiral of darker purple lines. Second panel is the same mouse, but now with both arms raised above his head, both hands clasping his now vertical toothpick. His head is looking straight up, making only his screaming mouth visible. On the left is text which says "We either FIGHT" with a sword graphic on top, and "Or we DIE" with a skull graphic on the right. Left is alternating yellows, right is reds. Third panel is an anthro fox, Foxfire, who has reddish-brown fur, dark gray paws, and cream muzzle, chest, and tail tip. He has an overly excited expression, eyes replaced with sparkles and mouth agape. He says "You mean...I get a CHOICE‽" The final panel is Foxfire's tombstone in a cemetery. It reads "RIP Foxfire - THANK GOD!" There is a smiling sun to further empathize the absurdity. :::

Sharing your art be like. I'm quite happy with my pixel art rendition of Foxfire this time around. He looks so excited! ::: spoiler Alt Text (Accessibility) A lineless pixel art rendition of Foxfire, an anthro fox with reddish-brown fur, a cream muzzle, chest tuff, and tail tip, and dark gray hand and foot paws. He is standing, has a big open mouth smile, and is gesturing his right (your left) hand-paw at a golden picture frame. Within the frame is a textured white canvas, which has a rendition of a rubber duck on the surface of water, with a purple twilight sky above. This scene is shown within a large paint spatter, which sprawls from the center of the canvas and outward vertically. Foxfire is standing in an otherwise empty, dark, de-saturated purple room, with a gray-purple floor. The top of the image has a textbox in this same floor color which says: BEHOLD...A DUCK! :::

A bit of an existential grayscale drawing I created while testing out some of the various default paint and ink brushes in Krita. I never chose to be, yet I am. Why am I? ::: spoiler Alt Text (Accessibility) A grayscale digital art piece depicting a rock-face upon a beachfront, cast in a night sky. Near the horizon, a ship can be seen to the bottom left, along with a lighthouse close to the center guiding it. Standing upon the rock-face is an ambiguous feminine presenting canine anthro, with long hair and a one piece dress, their tail buttoned through it, looking outward towards the sky. The lower half of the night is colored in a dotted half-tone, where the dots fade into total blackness around halfway up the image. Within the pure black rests several crude star shapes, along with a cartoon styled crescent moon, worn and heavily textured. The upper center of the image has large and stressed white text which reads: Why...AM I? :::

Now that winter is starting up where I am, I wanna show my favorite image I took over the summer. I caught a butterfly on some leaves, and was able to get suprisingly close for this picture! You can even see the little hairs that transition from the wings to the body. I never really think of a butterfly as having any sort of fluff, but I suppose they do...at least a little!

I was gifted this wonderful version of Discord sitting on a throne for Christmas! I had no idea this even existed, he's huge and I love his dynamic posing! Figured instead of a simple picture I'd do something a little more wacky, so here's a few second video with some impossible lighting and a moody sign to set the scene! Audio: flourescent light by samwd (cc0): https://freesound.org/people/samwd/sounds/457438/

Drew out this pun after having it stuck in my head for a while. Made it to look like a simple Christmas card, enjoy!

My plushie friend has a birthday and I am running with it, he's getting a party! Kicks and his friends are gonna have fun celebrating today, I even have a little cupcake and candle for later!

I made some lineless art of my plushie Kicks for his birthday today! I also learned a little more about Kicks' character and tried to incorporate some of those elements as icons for the background, such as the ladybug for enjoying nature, the bow for Sagittarius, and the shoe + handbag for elements of his buisness.

We're having a meal together! I saw Vaporeon in the corner stand of a flea market, and decided to adopt them. Now they will have a place to call home again, and hugs too!

I noticed a quite lovely funnel web yesterday morning! The maker was hiding of course, so I figured I'd lightly tap the web's edge with a piece of straw. That absolutely did the trick, and I was impressed with this little spider's speed with checking out the tiny disturbance! They explored the web for a couple minutes, and I tried to take some pictures to show off both the web and it's owner. I liked this one the most, so I'm sharing it with you all!

Saw this little one when I was out at a store, looks like goldenrod soldier beetle! Their coloration really stood out amongst the gray carts, so I was quickly drawn to them, and tried taking some close-up images!

The Bug Menagerie Foxfire • 1 year ago • 100%

I took this a little while back with a macro lens I had on my old phone. I was amazed at just how close I got, there are lots of very visible features here that I'd entirely overlook seeing a grasshopper minding themselves out in the world. I'm appreciative they stood still long enough to take the picture, as you might imagine even some tiny movement would've made this a blurry mess.

When you get your duck friend, you're supposed to whisper a cool name into their ear, and they'll be yours forever. I went with the name Foucault, after the creator of the [Foucault Pendulum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum) (Léon Foucault). A simple and elegant way to not only showcase the Earth's rotation, but also your approximate latitudinal location too (because the time it takes to complete a full rotation is influenced by your distance from the poles). Anyway, science stuff aside my duck friend is incredibly soft, and has little beans in the bottom half so they can sit upright without having to balance them! I love giving them hugs and seeing them every day when I get back from work. Being that they are a tall and thin duck, I find them pretty difficult to photograph. Hopefully this side shot of them laying in bed is enough to showcase their cuteness!

A spider I happened to notice a while back while out and about. Its markings and size caught my eye, as it was very different from the spiders I typically see around here. I doubt they are rare, but it was new to me and I wanted to get a close up picture. It might not look particularly close, but it's a phone camera with no optical zoom. I was only a couple of inches from the subject and didn't want to disturb them.

She's gone fishin', and here's the big catch of the day! Sure she could just jump in and grab one, but kicking back with the ol' line is much more relaxing. Went with lined subject and line-less background elements. I've seen it before in media and am considering doing it more in the future, kinda draws more attention to the character(s).

In the fridge today to cool off a bit, here are my two plushie friends! Why two? Well let me tell you the story of how I got each: I was shown this web series by the same name a while back by a friend and quite liked it, so when I eventually found out they made plushies of Chikn, I wanted one quite badly. Unfortunately, by the time I found out, they were already gone. I ended up waiting a few months, but after just figuring they were never coming back, I went to various websites and found a whole mountain of bootlegs. I figured what the heck, he looks a little silly but I will love him all the same! Quite a few months passed after I got the first one and I ended up hearing that the original plushies were coming back too. So what did I do? I got another plushie of course as soon as I could! Now that I have both friends I kinda have the best of both worlds. The official plushie is one of the ones I handle sparingly and give little hugs, while the bootleg is one of my sleeping buddies!

The story behind this little guy is that a few friends and I went to a Toys-R-Us over 5 years ago, which was about to close down because of the bankruptcy. I found him on a fairly empty shelf staring me down with this amazing face, and knew immediately I wanted to bring them back home! Now I see Litten alongside their many other plushie pals every day, I'm glad I found them.

Mmm...big borgar 🍔

I actually saw this adorable bean late last year and I absolutely had to get him! Maybe you are familiar with the Fundy, who is a Minecraft fox on the internet that codes up a bunch of silly things. I've watched a few of their vids, but really I just love this plush design, and I would've bought it anywhere I saw it. I've had them for a few months now and I just absolutely adore their smile, and also just how much stuffing is in this plush omg. Soft but firm, I imagine I could squish him for ages and he'd spring right back instantly. Regardless, nothing but small hugs and boops from me (I'm too scared to accidentally hurt my babies lol).

Today I went to a few different retro game stores with a couple friends, and while it was fun to check out many of the things available there, in two different stores I found one plushie I wanted to take home. Sprigatito from one, with their amazingly big head and cute smile, and a black Yoshi from another store. As much as I love Yoshi, this is my first plush of him which is exciting! As for Sprigatito, I'm just very partial to those cute cat Pokemon designs I guess, they are so cute! I felt the same way about Litten, who I also have a plush of and should share in the future too! Anyway, here's another picture of them in the bag from the store(s): 

A two year old doodle I forgot I had made. I like it still, so I figured I'd share it with you!

I found this adorable bean in a flea market earlier this year. They are sleeping in an oversized stocking, and I just had to take them home! God I wish I could sleep like this Pikachu does, I'm so envious lol. I don't know much about where they came from, though the tag looks to be in all Japanese. They likely had a long journey to get into my hands, I'm glad to have found them!

Do you remember when and what helped you discover your affinity for furries? If you do, I'd like to hear your stories! To get the ball rolling I'll start with mine. While I certainly can't pinpoint the exact date I became fixated on anthros, I can absolutely remember getting Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast when I was 7 or 8 (2000ish). Seeing Tails was all I needed to get hooked, and want to be a cool fox like him. I didn't even have a word for it until I started using the internet years later, but my furry fate was sealed from then onward. It was the catalyst that got me into fantasizing about having fur and a big tail, and got me doodling lots of Sonic art as a kid. While I've long since stopped making Sonic art, Tails still holds a special place in my heart over 20 years later.

This is Bumble, a handmade crochet bee! This little one was given to me by a friend a couple years ago who was getting into crochet as a hobby! They actually made a ton of these for many people in their life, and I was elated when they showed me some and asked if I'd like one too. I even got to pick the colors and a fragrance for the inside (lavender). When it was done a while later, I nearly cried from how kind the gesture was. Anyway I figured I'd take a picture outside today to show them to you! Enjoy your day!

Hello friends! Here's a little pixel art animation I did a while back, smiling and waving by a street corner at sunset. Fingers crossed that direct GIF links will work correctly, I suppose this is a bit of a test post to find that out!  EDIT: Of course it converts it to something else, but hey, the manual timing in the webm actually appears to be preserved! Usually sites just ignore timing data entirely so that's much better than usual. EDIT 2: The webm animation doesn't work at all in the Jerboa app. Have a [direct link](https://d.furaffinity.net/art/foxfire-/1655085504/1655085491.foxfire-_foxfire---pixely-hello_add-240_.gif).

This is a picture from the day I found this adorable guy all by himself in a store, and I just had to take him home. So here I have Kicks all buckled up and ready for the ride home! In the time since then he's met a few more friends, who I intend to also share over time if some people find plushie posting fun! Seeing people's plushies is something I'm missing a lot from Reddit, I hope to reignite that here if at all possible.
