I thought I was in the right mindset to stream today, but turns out I was wrong. I'm not gonna stress out too much about it since I don't want to hate streaming for you guys and I'm still going through a lot of personal things. I'll update you all when I have a better date planned out! <3

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 6d ago

Thank you to everyone who joined me on today's stream! It was so much fun despite the technical difficulties!! I'm definitely planning on doing this again! I'll probably stream again on Friday (8/28) at 9 AM PST. I'll update you all if things go a different path!

I'm live! Come join me as I draw and play some games!

Heyo mayo, fellow strangers! I have a very big announcement! I will be streaming for the first time tomorrow on twitch, starting at 9 AM PST! Feel free to join me while I draw and play modded Minecraft! (If it'll work, haha!) I'll see you all there! www.twitch.tv/mahliahfox

Cherry sits in front of a drawing tablet, nervously waving to the viewer. Next to them is writing. "See you tomorrow!" Underneath it is written information about the stream. twitch.tv/mahliahfox - 9 AM PST - Drawing, Modded Minecraft

Charlie? (A little gift I drew for my boyfriend and his dnd character!) #krita #digitalart #dnd

A halfling stands in the dark, looking to something or someone unseen by the viewer. They call out his name, "CHARLIE." There is another voice---barely heard---that calls out for him by his last name. "...Kasey? Are you there? Hello?"

Kolsor's official full-body digital reference sheet! #krita #digitalart #myoc #dnd #dragonborn

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 2w ago

Heyo mayo! Unfortunately, I will be temporarily closing commissions. I need to take some personal time to process some extremely unfortunate events. Hopefully I'll be back soon!

Cherry looks up to the sky with determination in their eyes and a fist held close. "I'm going to stand up for myself! I'm nonbinary and not ashamed!"

Cherry is now on the floor in the family guy death pose (I did this from memory please have mercy on me). There are 3 points written above.
Insulted
Dehumanized
-3 close family members

Since my latest post just got attention from an AI art bot, I am saying this now. I DO NOT SUPPORT GENERATIVE AI. If you support generative AI, please don't interact with me for any reason whatsoever. I have no interest. Thank you and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day.

Admiring the Sunset #ocart #digitalart #krita #theilluminativestage #tisMary

Mary Moss (an anthropomorphic Essex Emerald Moth woman) is standing on the beach in an off-white dress, holding her sunhat to keep it from blowing away in the breeze. She is admiring the sunset in the distance.

An alternative version of the previous piece. In this version, Mary does not have her wings.

Can you tell what I've been playing recently? #votv #votvfanart #digitalart #voicesofthevoid #doodles

Dr. Kel works with earbuds in and loudly playing smooth jazz. Despite this, they are still a little nervous.

Dr. Kel is working at the computer, having been up for the past 48 hours, when the insomnia sleep demon appears behind him. Dr. Kel is nervous and begs, "...Just one more signal?" The insomnia demon replies flatly. "No."

Dr. Kel is standing with a nervous smile and a thumbs up towards the viewer. Behind him is a large flame. Underneath is the text "This is fine."

I think my boyfriend sometimes forgets how weird I am, haha! #digitalart #comic #sfwfurry #anthro #silly

The first panel shows the title of this comic. "Late Night Snack." Cherry and Zinnia are both in comfortable casual wear, sitting on their bed in the dimly lit room, eating a shared late night snack before bed.
The next panel shows the two kissing.
Zinnia sweetly tells Cherry, "Thank you for the food." Cherry replies with a hum since their mouth is still full of food.
The third panel shows Cherry laughing. "Haha! Y'know...everytime we kiss with my mouth full, I always get two thoughts."
Transitioning to the fourth panel they continue talking. "The first: "Oh, no! I hope I don't get any in his mouth!" The other..."
The fifth panel is much darker in contrast. Cherry is smiling deviously, their eyes shining with a mischievous glint and their ears curled back like devil horns. "FEED HIM LIKE A BABY BIRD." In the background there is a faded picture of a bird feeding their chick. (It's from the Allofeeding page on Wikipedia, btw)
The next panel the two are quiet. Cherry is gleefully eating the rest of their snack while Zinnia looks on in horror.
The final panel shows a closeup of Zinnia's face---still horrified---and he responds, "If you try, I will SMACK you." Cherry laughs in response.

Have a little teaser about a funny little comic with my boyfriend and I! #krita #sfwfurry #anthro #comic #teaser

Cherry looks towards the reader, their eyes glinting with mischievousness. They are smiling, their ears folded back in a way to mirror devil horns, and are lit in dramatic lighting.

I always think drawing comics would be so fun until I'm actually in the middle of drawing one and then I look up from my screen and find myself in hell

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Heyo mayo! I'm on Art Fight! It's my first year participating and I've got a small number of my OCs set up on my profile! I'm very excited to be a part of team mystery! #artfight #digitalart #ocart

Cherry sits on a card labeled "Team Mystery" looking down at a few other characters below them. The username is "Mahliah Fox", under "I Attack:" is "Any character I find interesting!" Friendly fire and revenge are both checked off. Under Featured Characters Mary, Serenity, Darius, Owen, and Zinnia are listed. Lastly, under Characters I Have, anthro is circled and written in under is "Food people(?)"

I got permission to post the fursona I made for my boyfriend, so here it is! I created it so I could draw him freely and show others without them recognizing him. #sfwfurry #fursona #digitalart

An anthropomorphic shorthair orange and white patterned cat stands looking at the viewer. To the right of him is his name. "Zinnia Blossom"
Next to him is also a little drawn paint palette with the colors used for him.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 2mo ago

So, this happened to me today... #digitalart #furry #comic

An anthropomorphic ragdoll cat with long fluffy pink hair smiles excitedly towards the viewer. "I'm gonna get a haircut today! Wish me luck!" Next to them is their imagined self with pretty and short fluffy hair. It is clear they look very confident in themselves. "Expectation" is written underneath. The next panel shows them with two short pink strands left, all their fur buzzed to be very short (including their tail), and generally looking worse for wear. They are very clearly baffled and speechless, utterly horrified. Behind them is the faded figure of their hairstylist, colored like a very recent memory. She is looking towards Cherry very proud of her work. "It looks so cute!" Underneath the two is written, "Reality."

One more full body reference to go for the TIS crew!! For those of you that are interested in learning more about my special little guys to check out my other socials linked on my website! I especially love to post the occasional fun facts about them! 💕

Owen's official digital reference! #oc #digitalart #krita #theilluminativestage

An anthropomorphic orange guy stands holding an alcohol bottle and whiskey glass, looking down at someone unseen. He's dressed in blue formal wear. There are four different drawn expressions of him in one corner, and next to him is his name. Owen Ollander.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 2mo ago

*Throws a little teaser at you* #art #krita #oc

An anthropomorphic orange dressed in blue formal garments is looking up at something unknown, shocked.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I'm drawing Owen's reference and he's become either too anime or too cutesy and neither encapsulates him. My laptop isn't connected to the interwebs right now, but I'll post little doodle bloopers when I get the chance.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I am unsure if it's working as this is the first video I've posted on here... But I'm excited to show off my little pngtuber of Cherry!

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I'm working on something exciting! Can you guess what it is? #digitalart #krita

A screenshot taken from Krita. It shows many grouped layers. The groups from top to bottom are: bangs, earrings, glasses, face, head, accessories, heart choker, left arm, torso, right arm, hair back.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

So many things to do, never enough time! 😅🫠 #art #oc #digitalart #furry #sfwfurry #cat #doodle

Cherry (a ragdoll cat furry) sits listening to music and sketching in their notebook. They're quite content. There is writing next to them, "20 minutes tops."

Cherry is now attempting to turn that sketch digital using their drawing tablet and laptop. It is clear that things aren't going as well. Cherry is visibly frustrated. The writing next to them states, "1+ hours minimum." I guess I'm too much of a perfectionist for digital artwork, haha!

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

This is Owen, btw. He's a bartender and social skills teacher for TIS. He knows how to flirt damn well normally, his brain just turns to mush around people he actually likes. I haven't made a digital reference or many drawings for him yet, but trust me, I have plenty of sketches and they are coming!

An anthropomorphic orange (Owen) dressed in formal blue wear sits at a counter and stares at the viewer.

Owen stands with his hands on his hips looking to the side. It's a chibi!

Owen is dressed in a blue fancy and fluffy pajama robe. He has skincare masks under his eyes and he looks confusedly at the viewer.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Owen's hopeless when he tries to flirt with people he actually likes. Owen: Hey, did it hurt when you fell from heaven? His crush: No, but I scraped my knee crawling from hell. Owen: Oh, that's why..you..you're so.... Crush: .... Owen: ...sweaty... ... Owen: *slips and quickly corrects* I should go.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

My dnd group made a joke about Kolsor being bald since canonically dragonborns don't have hair. I don't regret drawing this. She looks like a sad lightbulb. #art #digitalart #dnd #ocart #dndoc #dragonborn

A golden dragonborn looks sadly at the viewer with her head tilted down. She is bald. (Normally she has bright pink fluffy hair tied in a ponytail.)

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I am offering a new YCH option for commissions! Make your or your friends' OCs bald! Check out my website linked under my profile for more information! #art #commissionsopen #ych

A blank chibi looks towards the viewer, clearly sad and now bald.

The official digital reference for Serenity! #ocart #oc #theilluminativestage #furry #digitalart

An anthropomorphic swan dressed in purple loose garments stands looking away from the viewer.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Look towards the camera, Serenity! #ocart #oc #art #digitalart #sfwfurry

An anthropomorphic swan adorned in loose clothing and golden jewelry looks down towards the viewer.

Mahliah Fox @mahliahfox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The official digital reference for Darius! #oc #ocart #digitalart #art #sfwfurry #furry #dog

An anthropomorphic Shetland Sheepdog waves to the viewer. For those looking to draw him, this is his official reference drawing!
