This species which is based off my sona Tiena

Aaneu is anthro maned dragon as the species itself is feral. He'll be one of the reoccurring reference character.

Hi there! I started making this #drawing some time ago but was able to finish it just recently due to preparations and attending Eurofurence EF28. I'm still figuring out the story that leads to the depicted event but it's growing steadily.

When the lights go out without warning, you're still here to bear the night.
Had a go at 1-bit pixel art and made this vent piece.

A low resolution 1-bit (2 color) pixel art image. Pictured is an anthro fox Foxfire sitting on the ground behind a lantern. The lantern has burned out and smoke is rising upward. Foxfire is looking down at the lantern with a sad expression. The bottom of the image says Lights - out.

I made this blender render quite a while ago for a drawing reference.
I generated multiple frames with large pixel grain, applied few color curve filters every few frame in krita.
Made those frames into a mp4 and xor:ed random bytes of the binary file using a c++ program.
Few clean up cuts in openshot-qt and made it into a gif with ffmpeg

Lacertocyon plumocrista (feather crested lizard dog), also known as feather maned dragon or simply maned dragon. Despite the name and similarities to reptiles and canids, Lacertocyon belongs to an entirely different family, Lacertherids, that diverged from late Eutherians.
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Class: Mammalia
- Order: Lacertheriformes
- Family: Lacertheridae
- Genus: Lacertocyon
- Species: plumocrista
Average size: 100 cm at withers, weight 45 kg Speed: Up to 50 km/h in short sprint
Traits
- Warm-blooded, Placental Mammal, Predator, Omnivore, Venomous
Appearance
- Maned dragons are covered in thin fur, and they have a feathered mane that reaches from their head down to the tip of the tail. The mane consists of feather-like keratinous strands evolved from fur.
- This mane can puff up to appear bigger when threatened and acts as a protection and in heat regulation on cold nights.
- Maned dragons have long ears with tufts at the end.
- Their color is a mix of yellows, browns, and greens with lighter countershading. Colorization can also vary depending on the region.
- Maned dragon's teeth resemble those of canines or raccoons, which are suitable for an omnivorous diet.
- Their whiskers are as wide as their body front profile. When traversing narrow pathways, these whiskers would indicate when the gap is too narrow to fit.
- They have five 3-segmented fingers and four 2-segmented toes, which are closer to reptilian hands than canine paws by appearance.
- Skull shape is similar to reptiles, with external nares positioned like crocodiles. It lacks a rhinarium, but smell receptors are still located in the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is still wet to help with smell
- Maned dragons have long digitigrade legs to be able to see in tall foliage. Making their gait akin to Maned Wolves.
- The similarities to canines and reptiles are largely superficial. These features evolved convergently to compete with modern carnivora.
Behavior
- Maned dragons are diurnal. They have trichromatic color vision, which is more advantageous in foraging, but this comes at the cost of poorer night vision.
- Their habitat is dry tropical forest and semiarid desert, and they are most active around temperatures of 10-25C.
- Maned dragons may share overlapping territories. Despite this, they are rarely aggressive against others unless food is scarce.
- The species is a solitary hunter and can hunt up to 60 kg, but their preferred prey weighs 20-40 kg.
- Maned dragons are omnivorous and often forage and eat various vegetable matter.
- When food is scarce, they can resort to scavenging. Their stomach acid is strong enough to digest bones.
- Any indigestible material, such as fur or large fragments, is regurgitated in compacted pellets.
- Maned dragons communicate via howls and barks or roars like Maned wolves. When they are threatened, they make hissing or growling sounds.
Reproductive organs
- The reproductive organs of maned dragons are similar to those of some aquatic mammals, such as cetaceans, with a few differences.
- Unlike cetaceans, L. plumocrista's anus is located outside the mammary slit before the root of the tail.
- Both male's and female's sexual organs are internal, resulting in a visually flush underside.
- In males, the penis and testes are internal, with the penis extending during mating.
- The species has six teats similar to canines, which are hidden under the fur and become only pronounced in nursing females.
- Outside reproductive organs, the species has very little sexual dimorphism.
Reproduction
- The female gives live birth and nurses a litter of 2 to 6 young with a gestation a period of 3-4 months.
- During this period, the male may share the territory and assist with raising the offspring by hunting and providing protection. They don't necessarily share the same living space until at late stage of the gestation. While the species is mostly solitary, they form some relations between individuals.
Venom
- Maned dragon has venom glands in the lower jaw. Some of the bottom teeth have grooves for the venom.
- Venom is useful when prey is too large to be disabled quickly by teeth and claws alone.
- If the prey becomes troublesome to kill, L. plumocrista may stalk the prey until the venom takes effect.
- The venom may also be used in defense, as it induces intense pain to repel the attacker.
The maned dragon would likely have evolved a unique venom composition with effects similar to these components:
- Intense pain: Bradykinin, Capsaicin
- Muscle paralysis: Dendrotoxin, Fasciculins, Conotoxins
- Venom spread promoters: Phospholipases, Metalloproteinases, Vasodilator
Evolution
- Lacertheriformes diverged from Eutherians some time before carnivora and convergently evolved alongside them, developing a unique set of traits.
- Amniota -> Cynodontia (259 mya) -> Eutheria (145 mya) -> Palutherium (100-66 mya) -> Palusaurictis (66 mya) -> Lacertocyon (34 mya)

Drew my best friend and little sister Stealthy! Went with a lineless approach because it seemed like it'd be a challenge and I hadn't done it in a while.

A lineless digital drawing of an MtF cyan anthro fox named Stealthy. She has black ears, black paws, and black tips on her long cyan hair, some of which is covering your left (her right) side of the face. She has a white muzzle, turquoise eyes, a gray band above her nose and the middle of her tail, white claws, pink paw beans, and a white tail tip with a black zig-zag separating the tip from the rest of the cyan tail. She's wearing a cozy turquoise sweater, along with a darker turquoise skirt.
Stealthy is beaming with a large, open mouth, fangs visible smile. She is waving her right (your left) arm up to say hello. She is standing on top of a large, cylindrical purple podium, and behind her is a light lavender backdrop with a few large darker wavy lines, along with a few white stars which dot the area. Beside her foot-paws is text on the ground which reads "Stealthy"

Hi folks, I finished #drawing the artwork I teasered recently. Making this was a lot of fun and I learned things I want to do in the future. I'm trying my best to build the world and the characters to tell the story inside this illustration one day.

Hi folks, It's time for another illustration from my webcomic. These are the main two characters which have yet to meet in the comic. If you're curious, you can read the beginning at https://comics.nek0.eu/remnants/.
