I can’t wait to hit the trails again in a few weeks. Between work and exams, life is exhausting. I’m really looking forward to meandering through nature again doing absolutely nothing and simply *be* πŸ₯²

Halva as a little thank-you for @skullsbesan.bsky.social, who really made my day last week :)

Stimulants 🫩 My medical supervision is doing a terrible job. Hopefully the chaos will stop with a different doctor.

Ich habe frΓΌher auch mal tΓ€towiert und habe mich aus dem Grund immer aus der Szene rausgehalten. Bei uns in der lΓ€ndlichen Gegend waren Studios untereinander sehr feindselig, fand ich furchtbar.

So kompliziert, dass man mittlerweile viel auf Socials als β€žWerbungβ€œ angewiesen ist, oder? πŸ™ˆ

I haven’t drawn human faces in ages, and this Viera was a lot of fun! Definitely a nice change of pace.

Thank you so much 🫢 I’ll do that!
I don’t get sick very often, but when I do, it’s always right on the verge of ER 🫠 The flu is just nasty.

I’m home this evening with my annual cold; after my last commission, I feel like sketching a few MMO characters. Before I make some up myself, would anyone like to link their characters?
I’m taking beast races and humanoids! :)

Honestly, I’m surprised that there’s still fairly quick interest in my commissions. When I look at other artists, I feel like I can’t really keep up πŸ™ˆ

A tauren for Beodren! I always have a lot of fun interpreting MMO species.
This time I experimented a bit with (lesser) linework and think I really like the slightly softer result.

Oh yes! It’s also super interesting how different each interpretation looks. I love that ☺️

I bought a commission for the first time in years, and it’s a really wonderful feeling ☺️
I hesitated for a long time because my financial situation doesn’t allow for much, but it’s truly lovely to see the character come to life in this way.

Debut for the new cat Laurie!

I’ve started a small commission series featuring my muscle-themed artworks, and this piece is the kickoff. I had so much fun interpreting Theo! Labradors are the cutest.

Only recently, but so far I’ve never felt more at ease anywhere than in the mountains :)

Oh really? ☺️ It’s probably going to be the same for us. It’s just so beautiful there.

Do your vacations often go to the mountains as well?

Oh yes. Merano (right next to it) lies in such a beautiful valley. I miss being able to step outside and immediately scramble up a mountain!

Schenna, South Tyrol (Summer 2025)

This was the view that opened up to me during dinner back then. I was so overwhelmed by the light, the colors, and the sense of calm that reigns in the Alps.
I could have sat there for hours, simply gazing into the distance.

If I’m not completely wiped out this afternoon, it might be time for some watercolor.
Watercolor was always my most hated drawing medium. You can’t control anything and the result is always a bit of a gamble.
But it’s exactly this kind of new thing that sparks creativity, right?

Iβ€˜ve often tried to put aside drawing furry themes, because only few people can/want to see any artistic value in them, and the norm simply doesn’t find them interesting. After all, it’s β€œnot really proper art anyway.”

I’ve stopped caring about artistic value altogether. I draw what brings me joy.

Sure! I currently have an open slot over on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/c/84a8e1b0ba

I’ll be making things available there from time to time in the future :)

My first drawing of 2026. The process was filled with so much joy in creating and reminded me that painting truly does you good when you work toward a composition and a feeling, rather than a deadline.

I’m Laura, a 33-year-old hobby artist from Germany, drawing with and for the Furry community since 2005.

I love striking, angular shapes, a sketch-like rendering, and landscape backgrounds.

My other interests include mountain hiking, animal ethology and communication, as well as health care!

Thank you all for 1000 followers! πŸ₯°

After my move from X, I didn’t expect to reach four digits again. I’m so happy that I can still contribute something to the community with my drawings (even if it’s not as often as it used to be).

I’m tempted to start a spontaneous raffle. Keep your eyes open!
