Valiant Vulpine

I love painting water! It always teaches me something new and surprising about color.

36cm tall statue of Valiant Vulpine, practicing some Wing Chun while two playful feral foxes join and try to imitate him. 😊

Base model created with HeroForge, scaled up and optimized for 3d-printing using Blender. Printed in stone PLA in one piece.

Thank you! Those are NEO sabers from Sabertrio. The model is called Reaver (brushed silver black).
I chose a dark orange for the blade color because it goes so well with my fur color. ;)

Designing and 3D-printing parts is something that I can still do despite my health issues. And it brings me a lot of joy to create things. :D

Half a year ago my 3D-printer stopped working, but I finally found the energy to fix it and finish an old project: A stand for my light sabers and some of the accessories (pommels, blade plugs and a coupler). I'm very happy how it turned out! :)

A staircase at the outside wall of a medieval castle near a forest. Robin Hood the fox is hiding behind a shadowy corner, bow ready and arrow nocked. A lupine guard armed with a sword walks by, apparently unaware of the fox about to ambush him. The wolf is lit by direct sunlight.

Looks like someone's in for a nasty surprise...

Veylan the cross fox standing on a wooden platform in front of a Japanese-style building. It is nighttime, and there is harsh light from a single lamp just above Veylan ‚s head.

Cellphone snapshot of Veylan @apfelwolf.bsky.social took at EF this year - for some reason I really like the high contrast lighting.

Thank you so much @shadowfox-de.bsky.social and @animalshapes.bsky.social for this wonderful commission! It really means a lot to me!

"Der Bademeister" (The Liveguard) made it to EF Art Show.
The idea was given by Serena's daughter who asked Shadowfox where he works and we explained that his office is in the same town as the public pool... she was thrilled that the fox works AT the public pool... kids... 🤣

I just watched the EF Opening Ceremony stream. I hope everyone has a great time at EF this year! I wish I could be there, too... 🧡

Following up my previous post, I finally found my deep joy for my creativity again. Which makes me so happy on so many levels. And I want to share my first try on sculpting with you.
#eurofurence #artshow

It is wonderful! Great idea to incorporate the sculpture into the whole art piece like that. And it is sculpted and painted beautifully with so much detail. I'm happy for you that you have found your joy for creativity again. It really shows in this art piece!

I got the exact same call yesterday, too. But it was not the first time I got a call like that, so I knew it was a scam. When I got the call for the first time some months ago, I also hung up and checked my PayPal account for messages through the official website. No messages there, no problem.

Mich hat noch eine Postkarte über mein Postfach erreicht. Herzlichen Dank dafür, für die tollen Sticker auf dem Umschlag und die lieben Worte. 🧡

Vielen Dank! :)

Do you sometimes
- make a to-do list for the day,
- work for hours, but fail at completing (some of) your tasks,
- start an unimportant task that was not originally on the list and finish it,
- add that task to your to-do list and tick it off immediately to get a sense of achievement?

Well, I do...

Thank you very much! <3

I was able to continue my chemo therapy again last week (it had to be paused for many weeks) and I'm still under lots of heavy medication. There is not much hope that my health will improve and we don't know what might happen next, but at least it seems as if the drastic decline was stopped for now.

Huge thanks to everyone who has shared or commented on my recent posts! My special thanks go to the amazing beings who even commissioned or created art for me or sent physical mail. The support I got has really made the past days a lot better and has helped me to find a more positive mindset again.

I need help, please. :[
A pipe in my studio shattered, the entire area is flooded. I'm out of work until further notice. It's $3k for them to come replace it on Monday MINIMUM as we don't know how far the damage extends.

I have multiple brand new partials I am open to offers on

Thank you so much! 🧡

Raising awareness for Cystic Fibrosis and calling for help (2/2) For me this new research comes too late. Throughout my life I’ve been lucky to survive many life-saving surgeries; including organ transplantations, which means that I can’t profit from new CF medication anymore. I've lived longer than anticipated, but my organs have suffered damage from CF or the side-effects of medication over time. On top of that I now have to deal with transplant rejection, chemo-therapy and various infections. CF usually takes a course like that sooner or later. In the past, my power for fighting through crisis was rooted in the hope to be rewarded by more years of good life-time afterwards. I still have that hope, but in times like this, it has become more difficult for me to stay “valiant”. I already went through so many years of agony, hopelessness, fear, uncertainty and isolation. I’ve lost so much and I’m so tired… But growing up with CF has also forged my character: I’ve always tried to stay positive, set and achieve almost impossible goals, give my life purpose and meaning. Helping others has helped me to carry on and I’m very proud that I was able to do lots of educational, political and charity work for the most part of my life – mostly in support of wild animals. I’d love to continue my life and efforts and I won’t give up yet. If you want to help me, maybe you can just post a nice comment, a sticker or a funny video to put a smile on my face. It might just give me a bit of positive energy to help me continue fighting. I also have a PO-Box for physical mail: Postfach 11 13 35429 Wettenberg GERMANY Thank you all!

Raising awareness for Cystic Fibrosis and calling for help (2/2)

Raising awareness for Cystic Fibrosis and calling for help (1/2) I’m not well known in the furry fandom, but I’ve always loved to be a part of it. Sadly, recent events have put me in a very dark place and I feel the need to make this very personal post. I was born with a rare disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). A defective gene affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices, which causes disordered processes in the body and ultimately irreparable damage to the organs. Usually, the lungs and the digestive tract are affected most severely. Although there have been some improvements in treating this disease, it is still incurable and leads to a significantly shortened life-expectancy. In later stages of the disease often only organ transplantations (lungs, liver, kidney) can extend life for a couple of more years. Having to live with CF is a cruel fate that comes with the need to adhere to and endure strict therapy plans (from early childhood on), growing limitations and relinquishment and the devastating awareness of the inexorable progression of the disease and its horrible terminal stage. I’ve been fighting this disease all my life, but now it seems I’m starting to run out of options. I will elaborate on my personal situation in the next part of my post, but I want to use this one first to raise awareness on CF and maybe encourage you to donate – hoping that further research may lead to a cure someday or at least make the lives of other CF patients easier and longer in the future. I'd like suggest to donate to the German ”Mukoviszidose e. V.” since they are working hard to fund research projects and raise awareness for CF: https://www.muko.info/englisch-version Please share! Thank you!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a nasal spray that in preclinical studies, offered NEARLY 100% protection from respiratory infections by COVID-19, influenza, viruses, AND pneumonia-causing bacteria. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

I want to give credit to Andrei Ajder for making the aforementioned sketch of Zil‘iya, one of the main characters of this year's pawpetshow. Thanks a lot, I really like that pose!

I already made a separate post about the awesome drawing on the bottom left, which was made by @karpour.bsky.social.

A poster with a picture of the CCH in the background. In the foreground, the names and logos of Eurofurence and this year's charity, Wildtierschutz Deutschland e.V., are shown, as well as the amount of money donated. Also in the foreground, Greeny, the anthropomorphic green wolf, is shown, making a heart gesture with her hands.

Oh my! This year, you have raised 46.461,00€ for our charity Wildtierschutz Deutschland e.V.! That's going to get a lot of tails wagging.

Thank you so much to every attendee of:

Here's the obligatory #EF28 loot photo!

I won the Art Show auction for the artwork with the silver frame (made by @rivalmit.bsky.social). The artwork next to it with the black frame was made by @apfelwolf.bsky.social. I also got a really cool sketch and button from the #pawpetshow. 🧡

Look, it's me! 😄

I went to the "Doodles for Charity" event on Thursday and @karpour.bsky.social kindly drew this wonderful piece of art for me. In this art style, I actually look - dare I say it? - kinda cute. 🥰

Thank you so much, I love it!
