I may not spend nearly as much time drawing as I used to these days, but I'm very glad I've managed to keep my artistic hobby alive. Working on my novels and artworks is such a great way of escaping reality, to just dive into my own fantasy worlds. I will never stop drawing, no matter how old I get.

There is something about african wild dogs that I find extremely difficult to draw. The fur pattern is so random and the dark face markings is super hard to capture. I don’t know if I'm the only one. I spent a long time on this one and I think I finally got it for the first time ever. Really proud

Been practising in imitating the sounds dholes make lately. Silly as it may sound, but it really helps me feel more connected to my theriotypes. Any other therians out there who enjoys doing this as well?

I'm really considering getting a telescope someday. I absolutely love astronomy, and it would be quite the experience to see the stars and planets up there with my own eyes. One day... 🌌🔭

My dhole side have been unusually active lately. It comes and goes every now and then and stays for a day or two, but lately it has been a lot more active than normal. Not sure why that is, but I certainly don't mind my whistly side sticking around for longer periods of time.

Yesterday was World Dhole Day. For those who don't know, I'm also a dhole therian, but this side of me don't come out nearly as much as my main theriotype. My behaivor tends to alter ever so slightly depending on which one is "active", but my main species is easily the most shifty one for me.
