fursona & sphinx sketches
🕑 Added 2024-09-19 14:18:14 +0000 UTCsince remmy mentioned my old seal fursona last month I thought it'd be fun to share some of the redesigns I've been playing around with of my other old fursonas! the sketches of my dragon fursona are a couple years old but I still think the frogmouth bird idea for their head is funny. some of the lion fursona sketches are a little old too but some are newer since I come back to them often.
I've also been thinking about making a sphinx character so I've been doodling random sphinxes and trying to work out an interesting way to draw them... I've been looking at medieval art specifically for some of the cool shapes of the animals, like the curled wings and very decorative tails, for general inspiration and I think I'm getting somewhere combining that with sphinxes...

aw thank you so much remmy!! the dragon one is really old yeah, like 2011-2013! I'm so glad you still like the lion one, that one is special to me too! <3 and ratatouille flashback ahgkfjhgfg same... I'd love to take a class like that honestly, I love the art and I've been looking into alchemy too since the symbolism is really interesting! I'm glad you like the sphinx so far and the horse design! <3

YAAAY thank you so much for sharing these!!! I love how small and pocket-sized the dragon one is, frogmouth bird inspiration is so fun and unique. I don't even recall the original design so that must have been before my time even. The lion sona of course is so iconic, and I especially love the pose of them in flight. So nostalgic, it's so lovely to see them again in your current style. <3 also gale thank u for bringing up the satyr design which i also forgot as well and had a ratatouille style flashback from reading it. The sphinx is so fun I love the braided hair style, you can never go wrong with braids. I took a class in college long ago on history of the middle ages and the art was def my favorite part. You do a great job of capturing those motifs. I always love that horse design you did a few years back. It'll be fun to see what you end up deciding on for this design!

I have actually doodled the dog one and could not think of any way to redesign it because like... you really can't outdo that deviantart era you know LOL but I somehow forgot about the satyr one, I'll draw them sometime!
