April Artist of the Moth 2018: GeeWolf

Hey furs, as the snow fades away and the rains start to bring in the spring, we bring you our April Artist of the month, GeeWolf. GeeWolf is a up and coming digital artist and a studying architecture at university. His paint like style, with energetic posing and expression add extra character to his subjects. A long with his use of shadow and perspective, it all comes together to create an appealing style sure to grab attention.

“My favorite thing about drawing is capturing or creating personalities. Drawing anything without a face is extremely boring for me :) I started drawing furry stuff at the beginning of 2017. This was also the first time i got my hands on a graphic tablet. Probably the biggest influence on my style is that i’m still learning, and that i like going for dynamic and realistic lighting. As for inspirations, i take them from absolutely anywhere, but if i had to pick my favorite furry artist, i’d pick Caraid :)”-GeeWolf

February 2018 Artist of the Month: Kyander

Heya furs,

We hope you had a great holiday period, and for the first Artist of the Month for 2018! Kyander’s work makes exceptional use of light and shadow to produce depth in their work. They are known for their pinup work in both digital and traditional media and their expressive posing. This comes together to create a clean professional art piece that would feel right at home on the side of a Harley.

“Well, the reason I draw is just because I like the process of doing it. And it’s a cool feel when you make a piece of art from nothing. I get my ispiration from my friends, from different sci-fi themed things like art, movies, games, etc. Sometimes photos of interesting, cozy and beautiful places on the Earth inspire me.

I mostly use my FA and telegram for sharing artworks, but sometimes i appear on twitter and DA” – Kyander

December Artist of the Month: Ookami Kemono

Heya furs,

We at Middlesfur hope all you furs are having a great holiday period, we know these few month can be tough so we hope you are doing well. For this month of cold, our Artist of the Month is master of fluff Ookami Kemono!

Ookami has an extremely fluffy style in a multiple of mediums, pencil, inked digital etc. Ookami makes comics, illustrations, motivational images, conbadges and more.

“Having two parents who specialize in the art field, I spent most of my time drawing during my youth. Mostly self-taught in pencil and ink techniques, I studied the basics of drawing anatomy from watching various cartoons and reading Japanese mangas. I loved drawing animals and animal-based characters. Later, I went to art college where I was introduced to the Furry Fandom.

My illustrations reached numerous published children’s books, CD covers, television, game magazines, webcomics, and published graphic novels. I was inspired by a lot of talented anthropomorphic artists and met a lot of wonderful people who helped me navigate through the fandom to where I am now.

I mostly do narrative and emotional based illustrations, dealing with personal mental troubles as well as cute and funny inspirational pieces. ” – Ookami Kemono

We hope that Ookami’s art has warmed you up this time of year and if you would like to see more on their work, checkout them on social media!
