Lapres
@lapres.bsky.social
Artist slowly coming back online but battling FND, ME, EDS and POTS. DMs are not open, still on hiatus unless small posted openings.
I don't often take photos anymore but we had to here. I still couldn't get over the scenery we had access to. It felt surreal staying at a barn with bats, sheep, and an incredible view. @claytoncaribou.bsky.social @booshieboo.bsky.social and @bristol.bsky.social Location: Author's Stone
Happy Birthday to my little hero. It's been a crazy adventure that we're on but I'm so happy that I have you to experience life with me. You picked me and have followed me ever since - I'm proud of you and the personality you have, even if you pee in the sea. Every. Time. Happy third birthday. xx
Happy Anniversary to my hoss. Thank you for standing up for me, and standing by me through everything. xoxoxo @ellis171.bsky.social
Lapres@lapres.bsky.social · last yr.I've slowly been working on reference sheets again. Yesterday my Neuro appointment has explained a lot about why I struggle to illustrate. Still, every time I finish something, I feel like Ive hit a milestone. This was 2023, but still very proud of this one though it took ages @ellis171.bsky.social
Another one by @lapres.bsky.social! This is Evan Swifttide, kitsune, Warlock & Smuggler! Probably the most morally dubious character I've ever played. Favourite fact: Got a Charisma based sail skill check by responding "I don't know, sail casual" when asked how to sneak past an enemy fleet. 😂
I want to see your Fantasy/TTRP OCs! Agnimitra was my first D&D character, a fire-genasi with strong religious devotion and firey personality to match. Art by @lapres.bsky.social
No matter what happens, or where we are, @booshieboo.bsky.social is always someone I can lean my head against. Thank you for being my fuddly duddly and putting up with my shenanigans. <3 Somewhere between stained glass and marker. Experimental but digging it.

Harvest and Frost - Autumn and Winter (2/4) I've set myself a mini project of taking my marker type drawings and going full on into stained glass styled #mtg cards. Hopefully the vampiric forms of Lap and @heartlilly.bsky.social work well as cards. Enjoying this style and finding it comfortable.
Still learning what I can do with the brushes I made. One of the fun comments was my art style was looking sort of like a tapestry, or stained glass... so... Fizz made me a deck, so fitting the theme with seasonal vampires. Autumn first. I always dreamed of making a card. #magicthegathering #mtg
I thought it might be fun to show where my skills went. We make non-verbal advocacy gear as well as working teams. We also provide gear for Nervous/Reactive dogs, to give voices to those who can't speak for themselves. My work fam has been supportive of my furry art and cheer me on with drawing.
Sterling makes fantastic avatars for VRchat and has been a friend since I first stepped foot in the Train Station attending my first Leeds meet back in 2013. I looked like a lost sheep trying to find faces I didn't know, but Sterling was there with a smile. <3 @sterlinggryph.bsky.social
Derpy is cool and all, but for me - its all about Sussie. Ellis fell in love with Sus, as did I. Every time it'd emote I'd utter "mood." It's been lovely learning more about the folklore behind the movie. #kpopdemonhunters #sussie #derpy #derpyandsus
I keep being told these illustrations are "deilicate". Now I up it to delicate beefcake. For el Husbando #2 @bristol.bsky.social 🎨Another Blue and Pink only overlay to obtain purples and the different values of blue and grey.
That feeling when you tell someone you have an AD and work for a company that makes "AD Gear." ...Completely forgetting it means something completely different to furries.
When its hot I'd rather sit in a plant, pretend I'm a banana and watch the world go by. 🎨by me of Lapres, my very long noodle. Two colours in this one only - hot pink and electric blue - overlayed with different opacities to make the different values of purple.
I get to participate in a fursuit friday thanks to @snowgryphonsuits.bsky.social <3 <3 <3 Thank you Kerry (and Callie!) for making today a special day. Pup is always happy when a suit comes out, more so when you pop back out of the suit, as if by magic. #fursuitfriday

The first two i did, I was able to make my own brush set to get a marker sort of effect but stability for inking. Pink and blue only used in these, overlaid over and over again to get different values of purple. Boba and Lapres are mine x
I honestly thought i wouldn't be able to suit again, but seeing Kerry at CFz made me realise they had never seen Boba in person, so we drove home to got her. At the con we talked about my restrictions and this was a fantastic idea, I can have my wings again without overheating. ♥️ Love you Kerry!
Snow Gryphon Suits@snowgryphonsuits.bsky.social · last yr.These wings are done with the same shapes and general build as my pair, but with more movement, as well as actually being able to be folded for travel if needed! They're more upright too, to give a different personality :) Wings belong to @lapres.bsky.social #furry #fursuit #fursuitwings
Found an artist style that is super chill to do. Still practicing but this is only one shade of yellow and one shade of purple with different levels of opacity and layering. For my favourite jackal, @mamajaql.bsky.social
♥️ While I should have posted right after CFz, I wanted to say thank you for making it a lovely experience. I've finally have my answers, know why my body broke in the ways I did and am finally seeing the right professionals. Better late than never I suppose.
To the group of furs who use chairs or other aids, specifically struggling with the transition. Hello! I'm Lap, an artist! You're not alone and the transition (if you're like me) can be really difficult. The embarrassment around family and friends, grilling yourself of what you "should" be...
Literally clarity. I've started my colorimetry test and am testing blue filters this week! We've confirmed that I have Visual Stress/Irlens Syndrome (not a disease) and some of you may not know you have it. I'm testing blue this week, but I'm between teal and purple. This might affect my...
// A Wild Scan Badge appears: When you introduce your boss to the fandom, and she loves the creativity, then let's you do whatever you want? Meet the weird little (big?) brother to my badges. Originally i designed bags for wheelchairs at work but as furries ruin everything, it had to be done. 🤌
I know it's been a while, but a big thank you to @tommah.bsky.social for being the sweetest and most patient person in the world. I'm going to give badges another go, and add in a bag option. There is so much I've missed, Ive got a lot to learn again. Hubs bou too@claytoncaribou.bsky.social -Lap
2025 Lapres // To celebrate the year that's coming, and a new start, I've altered Lappy design. I've given her metal fingers, I'll be saving to buy myself ring splints to protect my hands when I work. Cybernetic hips because I want to rip mine off, and yeeted her ears. 🖕 I love her more now.
Actually Lappy here: Ellis has been reading your messages out so I can hear them and I've been giddy like a kid at Christmas. While he's going to mainly be the person keeping watch I wanted to wave and apologise for not messaging you all individually.
I wanted to say a big thank you for still being here and cheering me on through everything. Finding my heart for art again and trying to set aside time in my evenings (if I can and am able to) to practicing. Finding new ways of doing things and trying to simplify.
