As I don't post photos of myself, I represent myself online as Fury the dyre. He's what you'd call a fursona or canine version of myself. Therefore, Fury is me. (Well, as me as a fursona can be since I'm not a dyre IRL.) He has differences and several "what ifs" based on Cadavard. He doubles as a cameo in my comic, showing only for a brief moment.

Friends & Critiques

I'm a 2D/3D artist and enthusiast photographer with a wide range of interests, from wildlife to science, environment, space, and taxidermy. My big project is the story Cadavard. I pass a lot of time either drawing or being out in natural spaces and abandoned places. Canids are my favorites. I don't have pets (nor the funds), but I do have a lot of plants. I speak French and English, but I prefer writing in English and I'm far better at it.

The reality of a changing Earth by human and natural causes is important to me. I care for non-human animals and the environment. I own a lot of ethically sourced furs/pelts. Death is an important part of life, just like predation and prey is reality.

In my art, I draw a variety of things including kinky nsfw such as anthro and feral. You don't have to like it. Simply respect me for it. However, every bit has to remain fictional. Do view my lexicon for proper understanding.

I like folks who are understanding of minorities, LGBT+, diagnoses/disorders, limitations, poverty, and such. I value communication, honesty, trust, transparency, caring, be understanding, and patience. Do whatever you want so long as it doesn't hurt someone else. You're responsible if you hurt yourself. I have several diagnoses that are Asperger, Borderline Personality, Acute Anxiety, and PTSD. I live on disability with the inability to go back to school or try work yet. I don't shy from stating these since it's the reality I live with daily.

I'm agnostic pantheist who stands by the reality of science and evolution while also having some beliefs. I won't argue whether any god(s) exists or not, and if one/they influenced the universe directly. (The "origin of life" is abiogenesis, not evolution.) I don't dwell on these topics. I like learning about what people believe, their traditions, and cultures surrounding their belief system. I only ask mutual respect. So be religious, pray, do rituals, and eat according to whatever rules you have. I'll be who I am on my end.

Currently my goals are to continue taking care of my health (mental and physical) and progress at art.

Main art medium

Digital art has been an art medium I've struggled a lot with - still do today. Drawing and painting can be a pain at times, but the result is rewarding. Cadavard is a comic in progress that has long been in preparation. This project is my main focus regarding art.

I mainly do wildlife and environments with a specialty on canids/canine-like and natural spaces. Still, I like to do a variety: Anthros, humans, other species, astronomy, worlds, maps, cities, logos/symbols, and charts. I do put a lot of details into my art and I've been asked why several times. I'd rather put a ton of details than go for a "simpler" style I'm gonna hate. I don't burn out from the amount of details into each art. I'll always be quality over quantity & self-satisfaction over what others want. If someone can't understand my passion and dedication, then so be it.

I've got a mix of 2D and 3D with never-ending room for improvement. I find no issues in kind to harsh criticism since other people may see things I've missed. However, I don't listen to straight up bullying and trash talking. One can be harsh/honest and still civil.

Photos & Free resources

Photography has been my first kind of art ever since I was a kid and used mom's camera. From just 01 Jan 2006 to 31 Dec 2022, I have nearly 1 million photos in bank. I have progressed a lot over the year, both in camera quality and as an enthusiast photographer. Whether one sees my photos as artistic or not doesn't matter to me. I'm the type who does minimal edits, usually saturation/angle if needed as some cameras tend to wash out natural colors and scenes. To me, photos are better when they show the real scene, unless done on purpose like surrealism and fantasy for example.

Long ago, I've decided to post my photos into the public domain since I'm not greedy or proud. Sure making a profit is great, yet I tend to think of other people like me, the less fortunate who cannot spend hundreds on a few photos/illustrations/vectors. I've had feedbacks from people who appreciated my generous stock images. I find it rewarding. Eventually I added digital illustrations to the resources I provide.

Nearly all of my photos and resources are uploaded to Flickr as their posting system is fairly easy to use for mass uploads. I also post them on Pixabay and Pexels. I provide a large variety of subjects from natural landscapes, urban exploration, non-human animals, to city stuff, textures, charts, planets, and more. Due to being in the public domain, you're free to use the images as you please, even commercially. Credit isn't required, but appreciated.

Have a look at my Flickr! I'm always adding more.

Hobby: Artificial plants

At first it began as just a few set ups with artificial decorative plants bought at stores, but then it became a hobby. I go to shops like Marshall, Crate & Barrel, even the Dollar store, and I buy pieces or already made pots that I then dismantle and redo to my own liking. I have most of these decorations at home, though I gifted some. I've really got to post these online.
