"Good Pups" huh?

Hehehe, I wonder, are you a good pup? I might have a suggestion for ya.

Borrowed this shirt from @injytech. I'll give it back soon, hopefully I don't need to keep it on very long, if you get what I mean. Maybe someone will take it off for me.....

*Door opens*

Hey Livic, I've returned from my extended...

2024 in review! My most active year for art yet! My first full year of being into art as a hobby, excited to see what the future holds! Got inspired by Civil Otterneer's 2024 Review and wanted to try my hand at one :P

*paws at you* mmrrrow?

*Sqeak*?

What if Civ got a RudderButts Sponsorship?

Lmao, I'm joking...unless?

This was a request from @ivanisly-kun after joking about the idea that if CIv had a RudderButts sponsorship, he'd have to make the underwear construction hazard yellows, complete with high-visibility reflective materials. They'd also have to make sure to make a speedo version too, so Civ could swim anywhere and show off that high-viz.

Probably not very work-site safe, but at least its got the spirit! Engineering style on show!

[civilotterneer]

bro why are you cute.

Is it my adorable demeanor? The neat little outfits?

The fact that I am a dense MF who's easy to lead on like a dog on a leash and that's an adorably naive and concerning trait?

How do otters feel about sharks? Seeing as we’re both aquatic critters :3

Us river otters love our selachimorph friends! Who hasn't seen a little river shark and not wanted to pet one? Heck we even have the same diet: fish! We could share a fish fry sometime!

Our cousins the sea otters and far flung family of the seals? They, uh..... they're a little less friendly with sharks.

Also: if I pet you, are you smooth like you look or spiky like those scientists say with your teeth skin?

Civsuit V2: Checkpoint Reached!

The Civ head is real!

This has been a very enlightening process! I learned a ton doing this and am excited for the future of my journey in fursuit making!

My honest opinion: it definitely doesn't look the way I'd like it, and there were plenty of errors along the way. Chief among is the head shape, eye size, and my furring job. I almost think I need to work on making the hair look better, though I'm surprised it came out as well as it did! This does give me a ton of things I can do to improve the eventual Head V2, and I've already been taking notes on what to do next time.

However, to give myself a pat on the back: for a person who has in the past said that I have very few soft physical art skills*, this is insanely good I'd think for a literal first attempt at making a fursuit head. I did my best to stick to my skills and use 3D printing to my advantage, and I think next time I'll try and build in even more "artistic assistance" to the printed head.

And luckily, I was able to get it done before the move! I can, in good conscience, put this project down and focus on moving now (I hate pausing projects since I usually come back with much less motivation).

Next on the list of to-dos: the body suit! Which is actually broken down into smaller parts of feet paws, hand paws, etc. That's work I'll begin next year after the move is all done and I can focus in my new workshop space!

Thanks everyone for following my progress on this, and comments, suggestions, critiques are greatly appreciated! If you wanna critique something or are more curious about how I made a specific part or did a specific step, you can check these earlier posts or just ask me! If ya wanna ask, I suggest sending it as an ask so the entire class can see!

*Soft physical art skills: any kinda art where the tutorial has a "just shape it until its' right" kinda step, I.E. free handing, doing it by artistic eye, etc.

*Hard art skills: any kind of art where I can use tools like mirror modifiers, math, or computer-aided physical arts like 3D printing.

can i raid your fridge?

You can raid my fridge over my dead body.

Do you even know how food motivated I am? You will find the most savage, angry otter is on your tail if I open up the fridge to find it empty. No level of anon-ery will make you safe from my vengeance. I will find you.

Don't touch my food....

[civilotterneer]

aww ur all like, nyah! :3

Hehe, I gotta do a cutsie pose once in a while.

[civilotterneer]

You look like a less hot version of the Chunter.

I...I think I am? Anon, I have to think about this...

*Contemplates life and every decision in it that led to this moment*

WATCH OUT! THERE'S A HANDSOME FELLA!! Oh wait, that's just you :3

Hey! Who's that handsome guy?

Hello, 911 Emergency? There's a handsome guy in my house.

Oh heh, wait a second, cancel that. It's only me.

Also if you don't celebrate Christmas, I apologize for flashbanging you. Please have a MERRY FUCKING (INSERT HOLIDAY HERE) TOO! I KNOW THERE'S MORE IM JUST DUMB.

And if you don't celebrate anything, HAVE A GOOD FUCKING WINTER TIME, YA HEAR?

And if your somehow none of the above cause you live Southern Hemisphere or IDK, the fucking moon, HAVE A NICE FUCKING DAY/SEASON/ORBIT CYCLE!

[civilotterneer]

Uhhh...no...I'm not...horny at all. I'm just...thinking about Durge and how...nice his muscle scales must feel. No horny thoughts...at all.

I uh....I'll be right back.

Also, lmao, look which pot's calling the kettle black, Ivan.

tag 3 mutuals you think you'd win against in a 1v1 fist fight and tag 3 mutuals you think you'd absolutely NOT win against in a 1v1 fist fight. idk based on vibes? idc how ye decide

Oh this isn't a fight-starting ask at all!

Uh, I’m pretty sure I can’t take on @ivanisly-kun, but that’s because they’ve both got a chimera sona AND a bank vault door of an otter, Bayu, to boot (pictured above, original art by @ivanisly-kun, edit by me). Also goes for @thefourpointedstar, but being an incomprehensible, multi-dimensional-mixing, god-like entity isn't exactly a fair fight. Last, I think @bitchboi-gogurt wins just because of name vibe. Maybe also because of PFP vibe...

I don't like to say I can beat people, and I apologize in advance, but I guess if I have to fight someone, I'd first take @Crowroboros, mainly cause I think I might be better at punching than a crow (I'm sorry, please don't peck my eyes out). I also think I can take @no1withablog and @kabandcoyote because their puny electrical engineering powers are dwarfed by my dirt and water engineering powers (get grounded, idiots (I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude)).

Thanks anon! I've totally not become enemies/bottoms to these people I cherish as moots!

Again, art shown has an edit of my sona in it. Original art by @ivanisly-kun and bank vault door of an otter is their character Bayu.
