WARNING- Discord Impersonator
Just got the heads up that someone is attempting to impersonate me on discord. As a reminder, (outside of a local furry discord), I never use discord for socializing and will only contact you for work if you have directly asked me to via the commission signup form. In that case, absolutely feel free to contact me here or on Furaffinity to verify.
The impersonator seems to have the handle '@ruaidriart'. This is not me. Ignore any attempts to communicate from this person.

Nidhala model creation timelapse
A long time back I had a timelapse of the creation of Nidhala up here, I believe via a google drive link? That link has long since died, long enough ago that an entire year ago someone asked about it. And I entirely missed their question sorry!
Recently Sentharn noticed said question, and poked me about it wondering if I had the file around still. I did, but it was real big, 13 gigs. Well, they took it, and compressed it down to just a couple gigs to make it easier to work with, so no...
February Painting - Vote!
A bit late getting this up due to previously mentioned distractions, (I hope you liked my little doodle apology!) but better late than never. Here's what we got this month! As always plenty of good 'n fun idea here, will be exciting to see what comes out on top.
Also, the animation! I miiiight be able to push for it to be finished this month, if I put a little extra time into it, or maybe next month if we're farther away than I thought, but we're definitely getting close. Keep an eye ...
Who would you like to see?
Edit: Looks like Amethyst and BJ are our picks... ooooh that's a fun pair. Gonna enjoy this!

I have a confession- I have been wholly distracted by non-furry activities for this entire month. And it will honestly probably continue for a while (screwing around in Godot, for those curious) but knowing that people support me to make filth prevents me from going too long without making something filthy before the guilt starts to creep in...
So as penance for my...

As a reminder, in lieu of a mini-animation the museum animation will continue being worked on- it's making good progress, animation just takes for fucking ever, hah.

As a reminder, no votes for animations for a bit because I'll be continuing on the foxgirl-in-the-museum full sized animation a few days each month until it's done. But I will try to keep you updated on what progress I make!...

October Animation - Vote!
As per a recent poll, we're trying something a little different- instead of a short animation every month, I'm going to put that time toward a big animation instead, like I used to do a while back- a few minutes long, sort of deal. Might take a few months to get done, but at the end of it... we'll have a new big juicy animation! Let's see how it goes. At the end I'll touch base and see what everyone thinks of this way of doing things but for now let's just give it a shot.
So this is a...
Hey, that foxgirl 3D model is available for purchace!
With apologies to those of you following me on FA and are seeing this twice! I know a few people around here aren't, so I figured I'd toss it here as well for their benefit.
Now you can have her!

Misadventures in Blender NPR rendering
What I'm supposed to be doing is practicing my 2D art- that's what I had planned to do lately anyway, but as usual my brain had other ideas, I kept getting distracted with things to try on stylized blender rendering. I actually finally managed to find a way to generate outlines on fur (which was always the big sticking point, most of the traditional ways of doing outlines in 3D don't work on fur), and with a lot of manual tweaking and fiddling it's getting frustratingly close to being usable....

Not quite as many here, but still some good stuff.
As a note- one kind soul added in a "Whatever Ru wants" option this month. While I definitely don't want to discourage that option, I'm absolutely down for it, I also don't want you to feel guilted into voting for it. Vote for whatever you want to see most, s'what I'm...

The rigging tutorial video!
EDIT: Whoops, already noticed one thing I never mentioned in the video: anytime you set an IK constraint, be sure to set it's "Chain Length" to the number of bones in that limb, starting at the bone getting the constraint (if you followed the same structure as me it should always just be 3), or weird shit's gonna go down.
I finally got around to going over that rigging stream and trying to tutorialize it a bit! This video starts with the model being ready to be rigged and takes ...
