ZA Furries

Hello again everyone!

As soon as I saw the art section, I knew I had to create my own art thread :3
So here we go~

I am most active on deviantArt, but I'm also on FurAffinity and Weasyl (although this last one I'm not too active on). I also have a SoFurry account, but I'm inactive on there due to various reasons.
My deviantArt account
My FurAffinity account
My Weasyl account


Why don't I start off with one image, an image that is actually a portrait of Ventus Fall herself!




And then a picture with a photograph I took when visiting South Africa as background. It was made on the beach at Cape Town. (Thought you might like this one )



(PS: Apologies if it's too big, I don't know yet what these forums see as a reasonable size ^^; So if anyone could tell me, I'd like to hear it!)

Holy floofles those are awesome O.O

Thank you, Kievvu!

Wow, these are very impressive! Well done!

And thank you, Trace ^-^

Hello again everyone

So I've been on this forum for a bit now, but not really active as of late. There are a few reasons for that, I figured to start changing my inactivity by actually posting artwork again. I'm sure some will stumble by and hopefully enjoy seeing my artwork.
I have a few reasons why I draw: From drawing for myself to get ideas out of my head to drawing for others to make them happy. Therefore the artwork I will post here is not only personal artwork I made for myself, there will also be posts containing artwork I made for others (e.g. commissions).




This is a commission price list for some small cute drawings for a very good price. Thanks to Razot I was able to set this up and find a way to make sure I can get a bit of monies (donations). The reasons for my inactivity are basically explained in the journal I link to in the description of the Boxed Critter commission price list. (Direct link to what's been going on can be found here: My journal-update on deviantArt and on FurAffinity, if you would prefer to read it on FA instead.)
So I've had quite a few commissions from that. About 9, and I've drawn a total of 13 Boxed Critters. I'm very happy that so far people seem to enjoy the little critter drawings and I'm quite pleased myself. It's a style I really enjoy doing. I like combining traditional with digital artwork ^^


Here are more examples of the style I really enjoy doing


Commission for Zarconite from TheFurryForums. It's the first drawing of his fursona which shows the cabin and forge of his character. He didn't ask me to do this, so he was very happy when I included that in the drawing ;3


Surprise drawing for Mr.Razot of our characters:



Next post I'll actually post artwork of each of my fursona's, so you can get to know me and my characters better


Take care so long!

Those boxed critters look really cute.

Thank you, Rakuen ;3

Been quite busy art-wise and I figured to come back on here to at least post an update besides looking around what's been going on ^^

I did my first animation since aaaaages ago. It's my first ever animated reference sheet: Animated Reference Sheet on FA
If you want to see the larger version, you can go here: (warning, might take a while to load) Animated Reference Sheet on deviantArt

A large commission finally done for a user I know from another furry forum:
A Sergal admiring the landscape.


I also did some free-to-use pixel art (if anyone wants to use them, please give credit )
Gallery folder on dA free-to-use animated pixel artwork.


Also did a new thing, putting on some stones/ 'jewels' on a nice box, so basically I made a...
Critter On A Box


And finally got to a drawing I've been meaning to do for months:
'Celebration of beating the record in the Versus Mods thread' on the other furry forum


So that's it for now ^^
Currently busy with another commission I got for a Boxed Critter and if I can get around to it I have a few animals/creatures I want to make free pixelart for as well.


~Ventus out~

Those are all awesome!
I love the variety in your work and all of the projects that you've had going.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Trace ^^


Also, I'll be attending Confuzzled as a dealer too!
Check out: where I'll be sitting.
(I didn't know where else I could post this...)
I saw on the statisctics pages of the website that two people are going from South Africa, so if you two are reading this: Hope you'll have a great time (Maybe you can even say hi )


Some artworks I made since my last post on here:

Hello everyone!

I have been absent from this forum for a while. Some things happened in real life and it wasn't possible for me to return to ZAfur for a while.
I have, however, still been arting! Not as much as I've been wanting to, I have lots of things nearing completion.
Anyways, I have some stuff to show that I have finished

It's quite a lot so I will probably make two posts with a few examples of varying works (first post will contain various different styles, and the next post I will post later where I will be sharing some Boxed Critters). If anyone wants to see more, feel free to say so and I'll post more on this thread ^^

Those are amazing!
Your art is still fantastic. X3
Good to see you back!

Hey Ventus! Welcome back! Your art is fantastic: you should consider entering in ZAFur's next art competition, in 'The Arena' section of the forum. It is fun to draw to theme; it's a good place to showcase your art; and if you win you get a yellow name tag and your art piece goes to the ZAFur hall of fame.

Hey there Ryall
Ahw, thanks x3
Oh yeah, I recall something like there being art competitions here. Sounded nice to me, always wanted to join. Thanks for the mention :3
I'll be sure to check it out and maybe even join as soon as I can.

Thank you, Trace ^^
Ahw, well glad to be back


Thanks you both for the warm welcome back.


Got something new to show ^^

Been working on a reference sheet for someone, almost done with that.
Before I finish that, however, first something else!

A Sergal pinup of sorts: https://www.deviantart.com/ventus-fall/ ... -770948176

I can't be the only one who saw it and went "is that VoxLupus as a cheese wedg-- … sergal?"
Your art is wonderful, Ventus. The detail, such as the fur outline, is stunning. Keep up the fantastic work - would love to see more! And welcome back to you!

I can't help but chuckle at that, and then thinking to myself... Who's VoxLupus? ^^;
(So I like the joke of mixing up two people and the cheese wedge thing, but I don't know who VoxLupus is, is that bad? D: )

Ahw, thanks Galahad! I recall your name, but I think your avatar has changed since then? Anyways, thanks again Dragon-with-glasses! (Awesome btw)

VoxLupus? He is an urban myth here at ZAFur. There are tales that every 4 years, during the leap day, when the moon is at its zenith, he signs in. Of course, this is all fireside talk at the tavern from old men spinning tall tales. Does he actually exist? Who knows? Ryall claims he is his boyfriend, but we all know Ryall just made an alt account and paid a model to pose with him for photos.



VoxLupus, my dear Ventus, is a fine, upstanding engineer furry - who is indeed Ryall's boyfriend - and his sona looks like [ THIS ].
You might notice the resemblance and hence forgive my mixing up.

I am not just a dragon with glasses. I am a dragon-with-glasses-who-looks-wider-than-he-is-because-I-was-too-lazy-with-cropping-the-correct-aspect-ratio.

Not even an actor, but a paid model? Charming as always Galahad, VoxLupus is flattered.

And yes, I too saw the sexy resemblance in this cheese-wedge pinup to VoxLupus. I guess it is the colourscheme and similar species? It’s still quite distinct though.

Also, if you count Galahad, Adagio, VoxLupus, and Obsidian, there are actually quite a few engineers in our community. Am I missing anyone?

@Galahad: xD
I see, quite a nice looking character!
It wasn't my intention at all to make the Sergal look like VoxLupus, perhaps unfortunately, but I have never seen VoxLupus/his character/artwork. This sergal was for a close friend of mine who I've known from day 1 I've been in the fandom and they have 2 sergal characters. one is this one, the other is black and white.

@Ryall: Hehe, yeah as I mentioned above ^ that it wasn't my intention to draw VoxLupus. Apologies for me saying it, but I can't ever recall having heard of VoxLupus before or seeing him around ^^;
Is he a sergal then too?
Those are quite a few engineering furries!


Anyways! I finished this piece rather recently, it was a reference sheet commission.

Ooh I like how you did the hair on back of the ram's head.

Also I'm an engineer too, but in name only lol.
