#I feel like all furries are anthros but not all anthros are furries and I just like to pick the word that covers both? | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

hey! do you consider yourself a furry? if so, do you enjoy being in the community? if not, what label do you use, and why? (been wanting to ask this for a while:))

Sure, I don't mind being called a furry. My art certainly qualifies as furry art and my characters are furry characters. But I've never been that connected or active in the furry fandom in general. There's a lot of core experiences that I'm missing: I don't have a fursona, I don't own a fursuit and I've never been to a furry con. My online circles are very furry-centric but I don't think any of my irl friends consider themselves furries, despite our shared tastes and interests.

#so yeah furry but not a very community oriented one I guess #I'm always out of the loop when it comes to happenings and drama and such I literally never know what's going on #I tend to use the word anthro when referring to my art/characters but that's just personal preference furry is equally correct #I feel like all furries are anthros but not all anthros are furries and I just like to pick the word that covers both?#while we're here let me say that I find the theme of anthropomorphism super fascinating #people have been humanizing animals since prehistory which lends it a sense of timelessness and it's a concept that is culturally universal #it's silly but #in some trivial way I feel connected to the larger continuum of humans making nonhuman things in their own image #which is nice it makes me feel kinship to those cavemen who sculpted lion headed human figures out of mammoth ivory 35 000 years ago #answered #anonymous

art trade from toyhouse - love this funny evil guy

#my art #anthro #furry #illustration #found the coolest new band recently and then found out they broke up earlier this year - very cool #and i definitely did not feel genuine devastation over this #they reformed as a new thing and their first single is good but i'll never hear their old stuff live!!!!!! FUCK!!!#i hate and love teeny tiny bands man they're always jumping from project to project and mutating. which is great and all for keeping fresh #but now i gotta trawl through youtube for their handful of live recordings like a starving rat in a winter shortage #they're called cheap teeth....i'd be remiss if i didn't give a shoutout to a band that somehow has less followers than me #anyway. swag #weirdfur

Standing in the kitchen at 3am with your dog barking at you and your friend barking at you over the phone is kind of a core memory

#get you a friend that stays on the line all night bc you hate being alone in the house at night #I’m watching the house for a few days bc my mom and grandma are on vacay #I’m not anxious or afraid I just feel uncomfortable being alone for so long #like I’m fine I can handle it I just dislike it #sceppy was the one barking at me #we literally fell asleep over discord call #fucking love him #he also barked at me #art #doodle #drawing #furry #furryart #fursona #digital art #furry fandom #furry art #furry anthro #mae rambles

Star

with tumblr’s compression, the text will be hard to read, so here’s the art split in two (reduces compression), and here’s the text that was cut off:

You know I'd always been alone

'till you taught me

to live for somebody…

That love is like a star

It's gone, we just see it shining

'cause it's traveled very far

Keep a leftover light, burning

so you can keep looking up

I am yours

No matter

That love's gone

We just see it shining

we've traveled very far

I'll keep a leftover light burning

So you can keep looking up…

…Isn't that worth holding on?

#my art #furry art #anthro #furry #fursona #mitski #i wanted to mix things up a little (yet again)#and this time i decided to use ‘star’ by mitski #to me i feel like this song is about a past love #maybe that love’s gone #but the memories with that person remain #and they’re still a dear friend #and that’s what matters more maybe #also i avoided the procreate gouache brush i tend to use all the time #and i think it turned out quite well #in terms of colors i wanted to really emphasize warmth #i think this is one of mitski’s happier songs #although it is bittersweet #jaevyart

bryan the werewolf-wolf can’t keep a job. it all goes fine until the full moon, then something changes inside him. he goes into work at the pizza place, and can’t stop himself from devouring every slice. when his colleagues try to stop him, they become the new side dish loool (hexoween 7: curse of the full moon)

#anthro art #furry art #horror art #furry horror #wolf furry #werewolf furry #cw bl00d #hexoween #i wanted to write the story in the caption this time #a couple of my friends didn’t understand the comic lol #so i feel like it should be explained #it was hard to think of what to do for this prompt #also bc i’ve been ill all week yayyyy #eyestrain #it’s a corny story i know i know loool #i was never meant to write book blurbs

Oh bOy-

-more alcohol marker sketches that I actually lined and finished, I love a good futile attempt at trying to have an aesthetic sketchbook :D

I want to draw him in so many outfits, I have a list going right now ooga booga.

Note: I need to draw him with more funky mugs

Also here're some alt ideas + pictures I took of the process for once, which is kinda neat I guess

crazy talk 🐯🐻❄️

(on appearances)

i don't point out that bepo is silly and awkward and his voice is shrill and he's so unserious and baby JUST to say that i hold no delusions about that (but that is one reason because Yes all that is so opposite of sexy But despite that - yes seriously with a bear)

other reason is that their difference is lawbepo's most obvious charm point

i love that law - the weird and unfriendly? yes of course - but he is hot enough to have that overlooked. he turns dark and mysterious - And thats the thing!!

him being in relationship with bepo really grounds him? it really makes law so human that he has an unusual taste like that

it's like finding out your godlike celeb crush's long time wife/husband is not that attractive

and that thing is soooooo fun to me

mentioned many times i didnt care much abt law n even before i fell into the ship full throttle thought his hug with bepo on zou is his best moment (and im not the only one who loves that softer side that we discovered after that moment - nvm that hug is not treated as romantic sadly but we will disregard that)

bepo really does law so good by just being next to him and it doesnt make sense but it DOES. and them being involved TO ME fleshes out law more. yes bitches. no he wont tell you

#lawbepo #talk tag #''no its actually GENIUS that bepo is not conventionally sexy at all nvm the furry part''#lol basically saying this verbatim #idk ofc life would be easier if bepo looked human and sounded hot #but hes not and thats the reality!#and this reality has its positives too #and im pointing them out cuz i love law being provided with what he needs by a person closest to him #and that person who treats law like the greatest thing in the world is having his feelings accepted and appreciated #i love them #and i think it's so hot for sexyman law to wrangle an anthro bear with lust in his eyes while that bear squeals but allows it

sketchy sketch of kitty cat L

#death note #l lawliet #furry #my art #forgor to give him pants bc i was trying to figure out how to do anthro cat legs #i'll prob have them wear pants tho #but L feels like the type to not bother ngl. i can't imagine the feeling of long fur inside denim would be very nice #anyway he's fun to draw #unsure if you all are as on board w cat death note as i am but i am kinda obsessed #i really should be doing schoolwork but tbh by this time at night i like. crave drawing. i need it #and besides i have all of tomorrow free bc apparently my prof is letting us skip our final if we have good enough grades #and i have like. a 96 or smth and i would rather not have to study when i'm still working on my art hist paper #all i have to do is art hist stuff. my prof wants us dead. everyone was talking before class today like. whyyyyyy #it's painful but at least it's cool #side note: i should put cat L in the laundry. spin him. wet soaked pathetic cat in the wash and fluffy puffball in the dry
