i have more art, but it's all lying in piles of sketchbooks around my room. i have like ten million sketchbooks mind you, so i dont really have time to go through them and scan them. most of them are stupid school doodles anyway and me ♥♥♥♥ting my inner anger onto a canvas so no one has to hear me scream and whine about my life
Hey there! I remember you. You had made an update to your old gallery about a week before I was promoted to moderator, and I always wondered how you were doing. Needless to say, you've improved so, so much since the last few drawings I saw you post here. Glad to have you back. :)
I absolutely adore the way you draw muzzles, especially on the anthros.
The lithe legs on the piece titled "fly away" are great, too. They look so elegant. However, I took note that you said the character is a fantastical cat, I think you could work on drawing cat muzzles a bit. It looks a bit like a juvenile/chibi dog muzzle.
personality: razayka is feisty, strong, and brave, but quite reckless! he is prone to get into mischief and start violence for no reason other than he felt “threatened”. razayka is judgmental, but once you open up to him, he can be very open-minded, kind, and loyal. he protects his friends against all kinds of danger, and would never want to see them get hurt! razayka respects his personal space, so before you pet him, ask permission first! this pup has a bite!
if you want to learn more about him, such as how i came up with his design, more about his personality/backstory, etc. dont be afraid to leave a comment or send me a vm/pm!

Please do! I'd like for you to express a little more about the character, how you came up with him (or them, if you'd like to go into more characters), and if or how the character relates to your life. Why did he become your fursona? What inspired this? Any detail you feel comfortable with elaborating on would be appreciated! You cover a lot of very real and heavy emotions in your art, and as a viewer I have a hard time empathizing with this character because I don't know anything about him.

just a birthday gift for my friend, madison. uwu this is her fursona mitsumi, a marble fox.
@Fairy
i created razayka when i was eleven years old originally as an rp character or something of the sort i dont quite remember (i think i was trying to write a novel or comic about him lol). i didn't really have a reason for drawing him a lot i just did. i drew him all the time; on schoolwork, in sketchbooks, on notecards, etc. it was pretty much how i got better at wolves because that was all i drew. eventually i learned about fursonas and the furry fandom and that's who he was credited as. he changed a lot over the years and i actually forgot about him for a couple months i remember in 2010 or so. i kind of forgot what his past designs meant and what he originally symbolized. im p sure it was somethin dumb and pre-teen angsty but now i have all sorts of symbols for his design and how they correlate to me. his gray hair symbolizes not black nor white, but in-between, which is how i try to view life despite my depression and mental disorders. his white tail tip resembles purity. glowing red eyes resembles light shining through dark. the blood that drips from his mouth resembles my appreciation for gore, his piercings represent my love for piercings, his fang necklace resembles collector's items (such as shark's teeth) and how i used to like to collect many things, and his x mark represents my favorite letter and my love for tattoos. more personal additions to his design relate to my life. his bandages represent healing and the scars on his shoulder represent self-harm. though i am healing i still have my issues and bumps. finally, his scar resembles the scar i have on my eye. personality wise he's kind of like me; loyal and hot-headed, but he is out-going, attention loving, and spunky. like me, he has his bad days, but is far more able to take control of his emotions (besides his anger). idk he's just the character i aspire to be so when i draw him it's more or less me trying to deal with issues through him. its kinda weird but??? idk its reassuring to me.
tl;dr explanation i apologize i have a lot to say about him ahh.
sorry for that long wait ive been caught up with school ughguggughgughg ive got several things to compensate though

You should do more human characters, those look so good! It's a really attractive and fun. Your latest wolf is great too, it's a happy drawing, and just looks great. You're really good artist, ya know!
