John Red Beard's Art Thread

Here are portraits of my two fursonas, Tsaenoa and Daome. I changed the way I draw them a little to make them look more lion-ish.

hmm....

[John Red Beard]

These two are a mother and son, Lisa and Alexi.

[Alessia Starfurr]

white fox or white wolf?

[John Red Beard]

Foxes. They're red foxes with Georgian white coloration. They were inspired by the Russian fox domestication experiment. That's why I gave one of them a Russian name and the other's name (Lisa) is a Russian word for fox.

[Alessia Starfurr]

Oh kinda hard to see the name when it's all one word.

[John Red Beard]

I like to put puns and other jokes in my characters’ names.

Now a couple professors from All Fur U (the fictional university I made up). Barbara Cotswold is a professor of linguistics and Balthazar Beaumont is a professor of history and medieval studies.

Not sure on the lamb one but the lion fits the description.

Drop bears are fictional carnivorous koalas that drop down out of the trees onto their prey. Ausies use them to scare tourists (sorry for exposing your prank, Ausies). I’ve never seen an anthro version of one, so I made one myself. He doesn’t have a name yet.

I’m experimenting with a Bruce Timm inspired toony style.

[Alessia Starfurr]

i'm not a fan of MLP or  a big fan of Zootopia so i dunno if am qualified to comment.... but umm nice..

[John Red Beard]

The style is based on the art of Bruce Timm, who’s probably best known (at least to me) for Batman the Animated Series.

Drop bears hmm you'd think us americans would have scarier versions since we have big black and brown bears in some places in the US.

[John Red Beard]

You’d think so, but it seems to work for scaring tourists.

There’s a whole genre of creatures in American folklore called fearsome critters (I think) that are fun to look up. Most of them are more silly than scary though.

have you heard of the giant bat?
