timelapse/speedpaint of my fur rendering process in more detail to match with my other tutorial :) i have most fun with this specific texture because i can just completely shut my brain off for it!! i use this texture for grass/plantlife, general fibres and like..human hair not just fur too, but the principals of like. blocking in shapes and refining them is pretty generally applicable! i have uhhhh a scale and a wing tutorial on my list to do but feel free to request others! trying to teach is a form of learning in its own right so its good for me

this is my mascot/sona "fib", please be kind to it it's their birthday today 19/02 ID: the first image has a pale orange background with purple linework/text of a bunny like creature with a unicorn horn and a ruffled collar looking to the side. a speech bubble reads "I DON'T FUCKING CARE IF YOU RELATE I WROTE THESE WORDS FOR ME."

the second image is the same image repeated four times in a square, featuring the same bunny like creature as the previous image but with two horns this time and a floating crown. it is crying, the speech bubble reads "UNLOVED!" in elongated letters. the bottom left image is tinted dark red instead of being black and white like the others. END ID
