I’m a 26 y/o practicing furry artist who forgets to post every now and then. I draw sfw commissions, trades, and occasionally, a request or two. PFP: midniteseance.bsky.social Tags: 🏷️ #Folder32 : my art.

Art of a friend’s husband. This headshot is my first human drawing since 2016. My friend’s husband is a white, non-binary guy with a curly mullet and a mustache and goatee. They are wearing rectangular black glasses with white temples/ear pieces. Their eyes are green-ish-grey-ish-blue with central heterochromia that leans towards hazel. This drawing was inspired by a tutorial by “Nikoli | Ilokin” on YouTube that taught about the color zones of the face. This drawing has a pink background, and gives the art a “printed” look to it with the halftone effect and gives a misty/hazy feel to the art.
Landscape art of a purple plaid picnic blanket on a recently mowed hill. The art is reminiscent of a children’s book about picnicking under the stars. The sun is setting, and the moon and stars are shining bright as a shooting star flies over the dimly-lit horizon. The sky is indigo and the grass is a pale and grey green color. The lawn appears to have a plaid texture from being recently mowed.
Pancake, the magic waffle dragon OC, was designed by Plushboop on dA, and has a color palette with a waffle-like tan color, a maple-syrup-like red color, a peach-like pink color, and an off-white color. That same off white color and a baby blue color are used in Pancake's bow tie scarf. Pancake, much like my husband in real life, is gently singing this soft and warm song to his closest friend and dearest lover. He can be seen singing on a dark stage with the spotlight illuminating his face, with the only thing on his mind being the love he had for his partner. He is holding a microphone with one hand close to his mouth, and raising his other hand, full of emotion and love towards his best friend. All eyes may have been on him as he took center stage, but the only audience member that mattered was right there, a few feet away, front and center. Painted on procreate in 6 hours.
The text reads “Day 3: something you’re looking forward to this weekends” My sketch is of “clean dogs 🐶 “ The sketch shows a confused dog with floppy ears hesitantly staring at the edge of a bathtub, with bubbles floating near her face. I worked with a reference on my phone of Blake.Rosey (from instagram)’s free to use line art of a German shepherd to create this sketch.

Art created in reference to the game Hollow Knight. A nail sits on a bench, with no one to wield it. It rests there, in the city of tears, watching the rain fall onto the window, as many a lumafly float near the edge of an unbroken glass orb—forever trapped. This sketch features a many dark and somber blue shades, with the inside of the building appearing to glow a slight tan-ish grey color in comparison to the rainy blue night. Art created by jrangerbart.bsky.social in procreate in September 2025.

Art of a dark grey and white hollow knight bug with blue irises and golden scleras holding a weapon based on the nail in hollow knight. The critter is based on the color scheme of a tiger OC that belongs to @polymorphtiger.bsky.social, and a European Rhinoceros beetle that he caught. Made by jrangerbart.bsky.social in October ‘24.
This is a sketch of my brown and white marble fox OC, sleeping on a purple bed, on a magenta pillow, and wearing a pink sports bra. There is also an indigo pillow that is not being slept on. There is glitchy, glowing, pink text that reads “I saw the TV Glow.” in all capital letters. Art made by jrangerbart.bsky.social with procreate back when “I saw the tv glow” was popular, idrk what the year and month was
Headshot of falconstep, an OC that belongs to Arlo (cryptic_faun on artfight). Falconstep is a grey, black, and white cat with pink scars on his neck and muzzle. He has green eyes. The background is two squares of green, one inside the other, with an outline of black around the inner square. Some parts of the character are outside the black outline of the background while other parts stop at the black outline. Art by JrangerbArt.bsky.social made in July ‘24 for art fight.

This art fight attack was technically a revenge, but I didn’t know that at the time, so it wasn’t labeled as such. In this tarot card, Nightlight holds onto two clay jugs, pouring one into a pond that they gently dip their foot into. Another they pour on the ground, which makes small water paths that wind across the ground, with one spilling into the pond. In the background the sky is a muted blueish-purple, the ground is green, there are seven silver 8-pointed stars and one big yellow 8-pointed star. All eight of these stars light the sky aglow. Nightlight is a blue character with wavy dark blue hair that curls gently upwards. They wear a starry blue cloak with a sky blue trimming along its edge. They have a purple crescent moon clasp that fastens the cloak around their neck, which matches the pieces that are attached to their knees. They wear black pants, and a dark indigo pair of boots with golden heels. One eye is a bright blue five-point star, and the other is a golden crescent moon with a similarly colored circle at the right of the moon shape. This was based on The Philly Tarot Deck’s interpretation of The Star tarot card. This full body art was made in procreate in July ‘25 for Artfight by @JrangerbArt.bsky.social
This is the progress video of the above drawing.
An attack on HowlDarling’s Undertale kinsona character, Samael. This is a shaded side profile/headshot/bust drawing with a sketchy/wobbly line art. The character is based on Asriel Dreemurr, and has white fur, curved white horns, black scaleras and white pupils, as well as two black half-crescent shaped curved triangles on his cheek. He is wearing a black t-shirt, and a gold necklace which would have a heart shaped locket if it were in the frame of the drawing. He is blowing a bubblegum bubble through his pointy smile. The background is an off white color with a black square behind the character. In the foreground, there is a logo of a sleeping marble fox which has the text “@JrangerbArt” below it.

Roz from The Wild Robot is carrying Fink through a dark winter forest path at night, lit aglow by a crescent moon, with Brightbill meandering behind. The sky is a dark purple, and it gently lightens the pine trees that surround the narrow path through the woods, as the moon begins its descent, shining ever brightly. The shadows are long, and Roz is damaged, but they will be able to see brightbill through; he will complete his journey of flying south for the winter; he will join the other geese. Even though he was a runt gostling, he will match pace and overcome his obstacles. Made by JrangerbArt.bsky.social in March ‘25.

Bynn (the red kangaroo)’s reference sheet. This has a forward view and a behind view, as well as 3 headshots. In the first headshot, Bynn is laughing, showing his slightly pointy teeth. In the next, he’s cutely sticking his tongue out. In the third he is snuggling up to Smiley’s neck fluff. As mentioned, Smiley (an Arctic marble fox) is seen from the neck up. There are small purple and yellow hearts surrounding the happy couple. Bynn is a red kangaroo whose body is shades of red-ish, oranges and browns. While most of him is orange, his belly and neck are a light shade of tan, and his hands and feet become a dark reddish brown. Bynn’s eyes are two shades of green with a yellow-ish tan color being in the “whites” of his eyes. Bynn’s body type is heavier-set with thicker thighs, and a tail that starts off thick as well.

Full body sketch of my OC, smiley, sleeping on a mint green bed the text above reads “You wrote me a love note…” This piece uses a crayon brush and has text referring to a dream I had of my husband (that I had dreamt after a small argument we had a few days prior). The dream was so beautiful that I needed to make art of it. In the dream, my husband brings me into a dark room with construction paper covering the windows that are all around the room. This construction paper had holes punched into them that looked like stars. The starry love note read “I still love you [Smiley]. Through thick and thin, sickness and in health. In this life and the next. From now to the heat death of the universe. And should you love me, I will love you always.” This dream was so beautiful that no art could do it justice. I love Bynn so much. We’ve been married for 3 years as of Oct 2nd 2024, and had been together for 3 years before that.
