Newbie Artist

[excellent_horse]

Hey guys, Newbie artist here!

my hobbies include art, hikes, nature, and lucid dreaming.

I've been drawing anthropomorphized characters for quite some time. Wonder what you guys might think of these.

Also, I was thinking of commissioning some furry art too. I would appreciate some advice on how to go about that!

Anyway, looking forward to making friends here!

Welcome to the forum.

I hope you like it here.

Wow, love your style!


Welcome to the forum btw there's a lot of art related topics on the boards to have a look at


If you want to start commissioning people, it's a good idea to set up a paypal account with a credit card so people can send you cash online and you can email them their finished product. Advertising is the hard part, set up an account with Furaffinity or DeviantArt and post some examples for commissioners to see what to expect. Posting notes or comments with prices is also a good idea.


Hope this helps, good luck. Your art shouldn't have any problem finding buyers

I love your art style!

[BakaFawkes]

Nice, I don't have anything to tell you other than to start drawing for friends. That's the best way to advertise and get your work popular.

Welcome to the forum and fandom ^^

Besides all the advice previously mentioned, I would like to add that you could also start your own art topic on the forums and you could also consider doing some give-aways from time to time
Hope this helped.

Welcome to the forums!
It's always great to have a fellow artist around the place!


Good luck and have fun.

[excellent_horse]

Thanks guys! This is such a friendly community

I was thinking of doing give-aways as a warm up! I can start with you guys, Would you like to pitch me your requests?


Also, i already have a paypal account, I just need to start advertising though, and figuring out the prices... But in the meantime: Give me your fursonas! (and any reference you'd like to be used)

[BakaFawkes]

Well, I don't use other's art because I think its like pearls before swine, I'll never appreciate it as much as the creator. But, my cousin here (he's hovering) wants to know if you can do an Australian shepherd. He loves those dogs. 

[excellent_horse]

Sure BakaFawkes  those are indeed beautiful. Ask your cousin which markings/color? There are so many! The ones with the crazy markings differ a lot too.

Tell him to find an image for reference, otherwise I'm fumbling in the dark.

And lastly, muscular build? Clothing? Accessories?

Looking forward to this

[Ventus Fall]

I btw sent you a PM ^^
Hope you got it?

[excellent_horse]

Sorry, I didn't see it earlier. Replied now 

[Ventus Fall]

Oh no, it's fine x3


Anyways, how do you like the forum so far? ^^

Welcome to the forums!    My name's Nova, it's a pleasure to meet you and I must say your art is very impressive!    Just a tip if you're giving out requests, you might find it more productive to create a topic in this section of the arts board rather than in your intro post: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=65.0


I myself would like to request one while I'm here however if that's alright    My fursona is my avatar, you can see the whole reference sheet if you go to my profile. Feel free to do it in whatever pose you want, I like surprises 


If you have any questions about anything don't hesitate to send me a PM, and otherwise I hope you have a wonderful time here! 

[excellent_horse]

Ventus, the forum is great, I'm enjoying the friendly vibes around here

Nova, Nice to meet you thanks for the protip, I'll do that! I will inform you guys when I post it there!
Also, I shall surprise you with an art!
