Platforms I’m on include - Instagram - Twitter - Tumblr - Bluesky The latter two I’m a bit lacking in. I mainly pay attention to two main social media’s. tbh it’s just vibes I get on either platform. I definitely feel like my audiences are different. I hold myself to a higher standard on IG because I have a larger following and I feel like my works have to be “worth it” while the others like Twitter I have a lot more freedom I suppose (but people only care about my furry stuff there 😅) And I get what you mean, even running two accounts can feel like a lot and tbh I don’t post much like an influencer, just my art and maybe something random. I’m not a very busy person and don’t go out a lot so that helps. I think what’s helped me is realising it doesn’t matter. Let it come naturally. Post when you want, but still keep yourself in check. Like… actually post. Doesn’t have to be everyday, but at least do it! Just have fun ^^

I’ve never taken any besides basic art classes at school! So self taught :)

This’ll be long: Generative AI is honestly a very dystopian matter in my opinion. It’s awful seeing so many talented artists being replaced by it in the workplace. The amount of AI slop images I’ve seen plastered everywhere and awful “animation” for ads is just horrible. Art is important not just because it can be beautiful, but because a human made it - it took effort, imagination, time. I see no beauty in code. Those are amalgamations of others creations. They’re soulless. It’s a scary reality we’re facing. Never in MY lifetime did I think it would evolve to this extent already. And there’s no escaping it. That’s why I’m not going to stop posting, even though people are stealing our pieces we as artists will never stop making art, it’s human nature. I love creating. I just hope the world realises how important human art is (including all artists, from musicians, to actors and writers) But with the state of capitalism and the greed that exists in people it’s looking bleak… I’ve never used a generative AI tool (like the ones they have now) and I never will. If we put such little effort into our tasks and have everything handed to us we will become stagnant and bored eventually craving those tasks again. Because putting effort into something gives you a sense of accomplishment and you learn. No matter how brothersome they are important. Learning skills, your ability to adapt, feeling motivated. Humans want everything to easy but when you have everything handed to you, you become numb. It’s a sad future for humankind and I hope I’m dead by then tbh. I’m not even old but I feel like a grandpa when I talk about gen AI because I feel like everything is going to change around me and I’ll be stuck in my old ways because I don’t want it to. But I’ll never stop no matter what happens, I’ll always be an artist :)

And I would consider myself both :) I’m an artist who draws furries so a furry artist but I also draw other things too, so I’m an artist first furry second

I wanted to make a Patreon a longggg time ago however… I procrastinated it for a long time (adhd) until my partner finally forced me to make one 3 years ago 😅 and to keep it consistent you just have to post post post. Make a bunch of benefits and keep to it! Since I’m getting paid by you guys I definitely hold myself responsible bring my best!

As for my future in art I’m not sure! I will always draw. It’s one of my biggest parts of my identity and I love doing it But as a career I might look into gardening :)

Aeron

2025 art goals are definitely - draw more backgrounds - draw more adopts (practice character design) - draw my OC’s - draw some comic panels?

Aeron

Hm huge influences to me have definitely been “digimon the movie” and “fooly cooly” I love so many things but I can definitely pinpoint these as two main ones

Aeron

I’ve basically always been in the furry community! Tbh when I was younger I claimed I wasn’t a furry because of how I viewed them was in a negative light, with all the stereotypes. But obviously furry just means someone who likes anthropomorphic animals - that was me!

Aeron

what’s the complete list of all the platforms you’re on? and do you have any tips on how to manage so many different accounts? I’ve tried but even running two instagram accounts burns me out so fast 🫠

Have you ever taken any classes? Or are you completely self taught?

Tanner

How long have you been into the furry community?? What artists do you think had the most influence on your art style? What are your 2025 art goals if you have any? What future do you see yourself when it comes with art making? When did you decide to start a Patreon and what does it take to start one and keep it consistent? Any new artists you’re currently into? Do you have any worries regarding ai? Or do you think it’s a tool? Would you consider yourself to be a furry artist or just an artist in general? Uhh you don’t have to answer them all just a few I’ve been curious on! Thank you Lux!! Have a great day

I started drawing when I was a kid! Ive always been drawing or known as “the art kid”. But I started drawing digitally around age 12 And for ref sheets… I’m not sure if I’ll ever open comms for those… they’re very time consuming so they’d have to be VERY expensive 💔

Aeron

When did you start drawing? And (when) will you open refsheets comms?
