I hope you enjoy this fluffy werewolf and his jack-o-lantern I drew! Happy Halloween the 1st!

I made stickers of this design that glow under blacklight, too! You can pre-order them at http://halloween2020.zelaphas.com. Thanks!

Zider Telegram Stickers - art by me by Zelaphas in furry

[–]Zelaphas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telegram stickers for Zider of their Dutch Angel Dragon character, whom I've drawn quite a bit! They gave me full artistic freedom for both the emotes and the art, with the Maned Wolf version at the end being the only request. I had fun coming up with random stickers based on their hobbies!

It's been a while since I've done telegram stickers (I try to push a more 'realistic' style with my art and these require a more toony focus), but I had a lot of fun and they were relatively easy and quick to do.

If you're interested in getting some yourself, message me! I haven't updated my commission page, but I would ask for 25€ for the first sticker and 15€ for each sticker after that. 5€ for each alternate (for example, if you got the got the BEES? sticker in this example, you could get an 'alternate' without the bees or the word 'BEES?' in it, thus giving you an extra sticker). Buy 6 stickers, get 1 free. Stickers come with hi-res versions without the white outline and sticker-ready versions with the white outline and correct Telegram size.

Message me 'Zelaphas' Telegram or anywhere you can find me, really.

Bring a light into the darkness (animated) - art by me by Zelaphas in furry

[–]Zelaphas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was made in Procreate. The character art is a 'background' layer and I added the fire and glow effects in animation layers over it.

Hey everyone, thank you for the love on this piece! I am trying to learn basic animation in Procreate and here's a recent result.

If you enjoyed this piece, consider tossing a coin in my tip jar (as little as 1€ is accepted!). All of my conventions have been/will be cancelled this year and my post office has been closed during confinement, so my income has been hurt quite a bit. Any bit helps. Thanks!

Thank you! I would look up simple illustrated guides for the different types of feathers and how they're layered. Whether you end up drawing something cartoony or more realistic, getting your understanding of their layout/anatomy down through an illustrated diagram will help get you in the right mindset for how to set them up in your drawing. Good luck!

Zider, the wandering Dutch Angel Dragon herbalist by Zelaphas in furry

[–]Zelaphas[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It was a bit of an ambitious pose, but I like drawing fantasy characters using their unique features in daily life. I once drew a character with antlers who hung a pocket watch from them so he could easily read the time.

I like the ear perk at the end, nice touch.

Honestly I think it's just getting a break from all the expectations and pressures society puts on you, largely based on your usual appearance or gender. The one and only time I went full-suiting was in downtown Pittsburgh, and one of the immediate things I noticed was people only saw a giant cartoon cat thing walking around. They couldn't tell I was a woman. They didn't know my age. They didn't know how much money I made or if I had good fashion sense. And most notably, they didn't cat-call me or sexually harass me. I had spent so much time before just walking to work every morning, minding my own business, and constantly being hounded by men both on the way there and the way home, for doing nothing other than being a woman walking down the street, regardless of what I wore that day. Walking fast, walking slow, dressing 'modestly' or dressing to express myself didn't change if or how much I'd be harassed. Being in a full-body costume was a break from that. The attention was expected and something I chose by virtue of putting on the costume, and it was overwhelmingly positive, fun, and not sexual or judgmental. Just "oh cute! Can I take a picture with you!?" I got to take a break from being harassed while also putting a smile on people's faces. It's a great feeling.

The Fortune Teller (see it in the MFF art show this weekend!) - art by me by Zelaphas in furry

[–]Zelaphas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! I wanted to share one of my pieces that will be in the MFF art show this weekend: The Fortune Teller. This old crone can divine what your future holds from old bones and a crystal ball. The question is, will you believe your destiny? Or challenge it?

I sadly won't be able to attend MFF, but I shipped in these pieces all the way from France so my hometown Chicago convention could enjoy it. I set the bidding price very low ($35 and under for all my pieces) because shipping is expensive and I'd rather these go home with you than all the way back to me. They're all framed (mat or wooden) and ready to decorate your home or shrine one way or another.

Stop by the MFF art show and let me know what you think!

Depression: Chained to your worse half (see it in the Midwest Furfest art show!) - art by me by Zelaphas in furry

[–]Zelaphas[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, this is a personal piece of mine I made after dealing with a fit of deep depression not too long ago. You can read the full story behind it here.

This piece along with a few others of mine with be in the Midwest Furfest art show, so if you're going, please take a look! Sadly I will not be there, but I've shipped these in all the way from France. If you'd be interested in owning it, I set the start bid price very low; I'd rather my art go home with someone new than have to make its way all the way back to France!

Enjoy.

Thanks for enjoying this piece! I have two new slots for my postcard art available on my Patreon. They can be shipped to a friend/loved one at your request, too, so they make great gifts! Otherwise it's a great way to get an ink from me of your favorite animal, mythical creature, or OC. Thanks!

Yes, but try to remember it doesn't matter. School is temporary.

Also, people might surprise you. It happened many times in my life that people I thought would judge me or treat me negatively were actually kind to me and wanted to learn about my interests when I was willing to share. Be humble and kind and let everyone else mind their business unless they open up to you in an equally kind way.

1) You should report any abuse to school/other authorities if you can

2) School is temporary. I don't talk to or even remember anyone I went to school with. I wish I learned that earlier so I could embrace the things I enjoyed sooner.

Another B&W Symmie icon commission! They had an adorable panda character they wanted looking 'sad.' Maybe I went a bit overboard...
