New Artist and Aspiring Writer in Town

[John Red Beard]

Hello all, I'm an artist and aspiring writer. I'm hoping to meet some new online friends to talk art, furries, and life with.


I have a pair of fursonas, a brother and sister Leoren (a fantasy race of humanoid felines I made up). Here they are. Not one of my better drawings though, to be honest.

[John Red Beard]

Thanks! The leoren are part of a fantasy world I'm developing with the intent to write a novel. I'd like to write a whole series, but finishing a single book is hard enough, so that's what I'm focusing on. The world includes several anthropomorphic animal species, plus elves and dragons. The leoren have three breeds/castes, thw worker caste based on tigers, the warrior caste based on lions, and the aristocratic caste based on leopards, with the royal family looking like snow leopards. My fursonas are of the warrior caste, although they won't feature in the novel if I ever finish it.

Welcome to this forum.
I am glad to greet a new member, as you can see there are varying topics where you sure will find the topic you look for.
And if you don't, you can always start a new one 

The art, well let's set this one straight: I like it, I really do. It reminds me of Willy Vandersteen.
Also; you are great in designing a world on your own.

Welcome to the forum, John Red ^^


The artwork of your characters seem pretty cool, well-done (even if you say it's not your best, it still looks really awesome )!


We have an artwork board where you can share your artwork if you'd like, or discuss with other artists

Either way, hope you enjoy TFF!

Hey there, I am looking for a artist to do a picture for me.   CVan I see some of your work?

Sure. Here's a link to my DeviantArt gallery. My usual price for commissions is $25 US for a black and white ink drawing and $50 for full color. That includes one or two characters and a simple background. More characters or complex setting and composition would be more.

Thank you! I'm usually my own worst critic. I'll probably be posting some of my artwork fairly soon. I've been working on another piece relating to my fantasy world, and joining this forum is good motivation to finish it.

I feel you. I think most people are their own worst critic. And if they don't do that, they barely learn or progress. So try to see it as a good thing! ^^ Of course, unless it stops you from doing anything, then that's not good >_>


And glad to hear the forums is giving you motivation
Hope to see you around for sure, and I'll keep my eye out for your art thread
