Here's my version of Elise :) She ended up a bit more revealing, so I hope that was okay with you. Cute character!
This big guy stops by every morning and evening. The more I watch him, the more obvious it becomes that he's a corvid! A clever, cheeky one. Also a brute 😬 I absolutely love his eyes. They look so pretty. #LauraTalks
🥹 Look at them monching. A whole flock of these little guys visits my balcony several times a day to eat and bath together, sometimes 10–12 at once. City life has taken a lot from me, but these tiny birds keep me grounded. They've become quite important to me. #LauraTalks
It feels like there is a lot of aggression in the world right now. So many obligations, external control, and restrictions. Maintaining an inner balance feels like a challenge at the moment. Yet everything that remains untouched by human hands helps restore that balance, somehow.
A brief sign of life from me. I’m currently spending a lot of time in nature. Climbing mountains, even the smallest ones, is liberating. The company of my new friend, an old Haflinger mare, is healing. Everything that makes no noise, both inwardly and outwardly, draws me in.

Halva as a little thank-you for @skullsbesan.bsky.social, who really made my day last week :)
Two little Valentine’s Day chibis - my boyfriend and me! (He’s not actually part of the furry fandom, but was happy to be turned into a Shiba for this!)
✦ Blue Eyes ✦ Gift Art · @codathayle.bsky.social — I haven’t drawn human faces in ages, and this Viera was a lot of fun! Definitely a nice change of pace. #art #ff14 #finalfantasy #viera
✦ Paladin ✦ Commission (BBB-Series) · Beodren (@beodren.bsky.social) — A tauren for Beodren! I always have a lot of fun interpreting MMO species. This time I experimented a bit with (lesser) linework and think I really like the slightly softer result. #tauren #worldofwarcraft #art
Schenna, South Tyrol (Summer 2025) This was the view that opened up to me during dinner back then. I was so overwhelmed by the light, the colors, and the sense of calm that reigns in the Alps. I could have sat there for hours, simply gazing into the distance.
✦ Mr. Brightside ✦ Commission (BBB-Series) · Theo (@laviaeda.bsky.social) — I’ve started a small commission series featuring my muscle-themed artworks, and this piece is the kickoff. I had so much fun interpreting Theo! Labradors are the cutest.
✦ Beginnings ✦ Art Raffle Prize · Rusker Raegur (@phamyne.bsky.social) — My first drawing of 2026. The process was filled with so much joy in creating and reminded me that painting truly does you good when you work toward a composition and a feeling, rather than a deadline.
I’m Laura, a 33-year-old hobby artist from Germany, drawing with and for the Furry community since 2005. I love striking, angular shapes, a sketch-like rendering, and landscape backgrounds. My other interests include mountain hiking, animal ethology and communication, as well as health care!
Thank you all for 1000 followers! 🥰 After my move from X, I didn’t expect to reach four digits again. I’m so happy that I can still contribute something to the community with my drawings (even if it’s not as often as it used to be). I’m tempted to start a spontaneous raffle. Keep your eyes open!
Artistic liberty commission for Renegade, showing Felyna the Brabant mare! A somewhat experimental work, with regard to imposing a time limit while drawing.
Quick colored sketch of Laurie's new design! I’m slowly trying to get back to creative work (not as easy as I had hoped) 😅 Doodles like this are currently available on my ko-fi (limited slots for now), in case that might be interesting to someone: ko-fi.com/c/8fb6d6f89e
Hey everyone! This month, I’m offering something a little different as a thank-you for anyone who supports me via Ko-Fi. For donations of €30 or more, I’ll create a mini pet portrait! Please make sure to read all the details and check current availability on the info page: ko-fi.com/c/e531e5e333
I cried when we left the Alps. I had never felt such awe before. The mountains gave me something indescribable.
Oakstone helped me out with my last donation goal and, as a thank-you from me, requested a drawing of my own character Goldfink. It was the first time I had the chance to draw her again! Thank you again so much. @oakstone.bsky.social
Ronja the Iberian Lynx - Huge thanks to Energy for supporting me on Ko-fi! @energyvector.bsky.social
Quoting with an animal that's you! (You only know Lion Laurie, who represents me as a whole, but there are actually three more side characters, each carrying a part of my life! Labrador Hailey, Horse Morgana, and Aardvark Mathilda!)
Good morning everyone, I’ve set up a donation goal on Ko-Fi! I’m currently on the road to recovery and wishing for a new pair of running shoes to help me take better care of my body again. Since my apprenticeship salary no longer allows for such purchases, I’m truly grateful for any support! (1/2)
