Closeup of the filmstrip in the LEGO camera showing Robin Hood and Jungle Book in LEGO at the center.
same Jobert painting but with the head expanded so big it breaks out of the frame
Painting of a cryptid bear with a short spine and too many legs crawling about probably looking for a dumpster to dive into. "Jobert" is written below in messy letters.
Four variations of my Banook painting showing different hair colors. He's huge, lovely, has a big beard, and his belly is very hairy. The variations are labeled A) Strawberry B) Ginger C) Blond D) Auburn
SrBilyon's fogged glasses photo but with the lenses glowing white and flaring with light.
Procreate screenshot showing a crop of a WIP Banook portrait. The massive man is shirtless (for now), staring at us while placing two blue flowers over his left ear. His ginger beard is long and braided, his long hair falling over his shoulder.
The two photos I used as reference side by side, left one wearing a wool blue tunic, right one wearing a lighter cotton tunic. It's actually three photos, since the head on the right one is pasted over from another photo.
Lago Vaari illustration with the Noss Saga logo above it. The young man stands facing left, holding his canid mask and binoculars. He has brown skin and curly hair, and is wearing a blue tunic, a gray cape, a yellow sash belt with a leather belt over it, white trousers, leg wraps, and leather boots. A bag hangs behind his back, the strap over his chest holding two small pouches. His cape is secured with a dome-shaped brooch.
Red-ink tiny doodle of an anthro bovid with udders holding a big-ass axe.
Me doing a cartwheel bouldering route and failing many times until I finally finish it.
Selfie of myself at Anthrocon 2016 from a balcony at the convention center looking down at several thousand fursuits getting ready for the official photo shoot.

A black bear with cinnamon fur takes a breath of fresh air among the flowers, and stares up towards the sun. Lake Sherburne, Glacier National Park, Montana.
Bee doing a flip while gathering pollen from a flower
Silhouette of an anthro creature over an aged paper background, with the Noss Saga logo above, and a pixelated text underneath that definitely doesn't say Sterjall because it's too blurry to read that.
Screenshot of Raww the weredog from Forgotten Island trailer. He's wearing his red vest open at the front, and on his belly are scratched team names of Pee Patrol, Ruffriderz, and the Wild Pack.
Clip of Forgotten Island mostly of Raww the were dog
Spectral apparition of a child soldier carrying a Nerf crossbow, shot through the window of a western church movie set at Paramount Ranch, California.
A woman with an exemplary collection of contrasting patterns of clothing sits pointedly on a bench at the Bolsa Chica State Beach, California. Unaware of my presence, she faces away from the camera and summons her pinstriped, zebra-patterned, polka-dotted, speckled, halftone powers.
Sunset streaks between two stones into a golden meadow by Cathedral Rock, at Mount Buffalo National Park, Australia.
Sample from a painting of a belt with soft light shadows on and below it with it off.
Banook balances at the edge of a cliff. The giant, bulky man has orange and gold hair and beard, decorated with blue flowers and metallic rings. His bearskin cape and long-sleeved shirt are blowing in the wind, exposing his hairy belly. He is holding to a safety chain built for someone much smaller than him. A splotchy brown dog and a white wolf watch him from a few steps down. Mountains rise from clouds in the distance, the tallest with a tower at its top.
Flares from JWST, all hexagonal and spiky, organized over a black background.

Shitty blurry video of something burning in the sky
Watercolor sketch of a bear with a long-ass muzzle like a borzoi dog and skinny body and legs.
6 photos blended into a sequence of a sumo wrestler (Byamba) picking up another wrestler (Kelly Gneiting) way up into the air, then slamming him into the ground. The sequence is split in 6 slices for the carousel.
Sitting in a hot spring cave wearing my canid mask.
Graphic with gay flags and a worm flag that say: Someone you know is gay Someone you know is bi Someone you know is transgender Someone you know is a worm Maybe even someone you know Think before you speak hate.
Screenshot of Olfin's post showing a cropped image of Banook and Sterjall at hot springs. Olfin's text reads: Over my hiatus, I read Wolf of Withervale, and LOVED it. The queer representation is amazing, and the mythical world feels so unique, on top of very memorable characters and scenes. Can’t wait to read the next! Also, had to doodle one of my favorite scenes, I was obsessed. #NossSaga
Banook and Sterjall bathing in hot springs under the pink moonlight. The gold-furred enormous bear sits chest-deep in warm, steaming water, wrapping an arm around the dark-furred anthropomorphic wolf, who looks up at him with a shy expression. They are bathed in pink mists, with a pink light shining behind them that lights up the icy crystals on the bear’s round ears and reflects on his pink nose.
A blurry picture of Einstein with the text: "With the screen up close, you will see Albert Einstein, but with the screen far away (or if you squint your eyes) you will see Marilyn Monroe." At the bottom of the image, an explanation follows: "Unless you are gay, then you will always see Einstein."
Pixelated crop of the osprey carrying a fish in its claws. The fish is facing forward, likely enraptured by its ascension, probably singing "A Whole New World" as they fly into the blue sky.
A golden flower blossoms brightly over a dark background filled with a labyrinth of tendrils. There are specks of gold dust floating around the five-petal flower, like the air itself is gilded. The dark background is complex in its meandering forms, drafting strange patterns under the flower’s exposed roots.
Cosplaying with the canid mask while looking up at a towering, leaning tufa formation that seems to be twenty feet tall but is actually about three feet tall. The sky is lit up with pink clouds.
Eriogonum caespitosum (mat buckwheat) growing like tiny yellow palm trees from a mat of gray plump leaves.
Compilation of clips at the sierras. Hot springs, mountains, flowers, birds, lots of things.
Photo of a hand handing out a bunch of sun flowers
Standing inside an old barn with a rectangular window which looks into a blue and green mountainous landscape. The window looks like a luminous painting.
Cosplaying with the canid mask and blue tunic at the entrance to a ruined stone building, standing under the door frame holding my dagger as if looking for trouble.
Clips of me sticking my phone into the chimney to hear the sounds of the ravens above.
Cosplaying with the canid mask in silhouette, a fiery sunset burning the clouds over the mountains behind me.
Cosplaying with the canid mask at the edge of a rocky hill, with the frame filled by a distant lake with volcanic islands.
Cosplaying with the canid mask, selfie under an overhang of rock that drips into the hot springs I’m in, dipping down to my nipples. A green forest is beyond the cave.
Old-fashiony painting of a mustachioed paw wearing overalls and a straw hat smoking a pipe, and a set of dentures wearing hair rollers and 50's-like cateye glasses.
A one-horned anthropomorphic water buffalo gazes down toward the cropped area of the image, so we can’t see what she is looking at. She is naked, her green eyes glowing, scars showing on her body. The sky is a dark blue, and a pink light illuminates her.
Sitting next to a hot spring with Timothy, a big tree reflected in the placid water, no one else around.
Pic of my iPad showing a painting of a hairy belly with my fingers and stylus covering what's below it.
Timothy looking toward a fiery sunset over the eastern sierras.
Windy sunset at Mono Lake with Timothy’s pants about to blow away
Cropped photo of my iPad with my stylus' tip on the nose of a spectacled bear, with a polar bear and a grizzly behind them. There's another Bear to the side also but you can barely see his butt.
An armored half-human, half-elk, walking though a fiery landscape. He is almost a purely black silhouette, the background an abstract spiral of flames and darkness. His rack of antlers has sixteen points, and he’s holding a wave-bladed longsword that shimmers in an ominous teal color.

Soft bodies wiggle Round ferrets nap in warm light Tiny paws tucked tight Are we together?
Half moon in the fog with a rainbowy halo around it, shining over the town of Tule Lake, which glows with many different-colored lights that make the fog colorful and dense. A water tower rises on the left side, "Tule Lake" painted on it but barely visible in the fog.
20 red-ink doodles of bovids in different poses, some suggestive, some chonky, some muscular.
Screenshot of YouTube embed where every controller is exactly where you'd least expect to find it, and things overlap all over the place blocking the view of the actual video which you aren't supposed to be looking at anyway.
