Snake Room
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2023 7:49 pm
Hello! My (online) name is Snagen and I wanted to make a little thread to introduce myself and share some of my artwork.
I'm a furry and I have been for as long as I've known they existed. I've gone through a large number of sonas and characters, but my current sona is a Burmese python named Egg. Here's his character info if you're interested in reading it! I also have a large number of characters (there's only 5 on my website, but I technically own about 200 different characters with different worlds that I work on intermittently) that I love to write stories about and develop. Sometimes I do written roleplay to develop my characters more, but it's not often and usually only with close friends. I've recently been working on making my own website on Neocities. I found this forum through Miles's website (which is really cool, by the way) and I figured I would join since it seemed chill here.
I'll probably use this thread to share stuff about my characters and artwork, but obviously this is a public thread so feel free to reply and ask questions or just say hello! I also accept and very much appreciate constructive criticism (aka don't just go "I don't like this," be specific and polite please).
--------------------------------------------
I like to experiment with different styles, brushes, and canvas sizes, so my artwork can vary a lot. I mainly do "toony" style artwork. I think the main hallmark of my style is solid, clean-looking, and thick line art, though I also do simplified lineless artwork when the canvas is too small to warrant lines or when I don't have the energy for lining. My sketches are messy as all hell.
To start off my thread, I'll just drop some recent doodles here.
I made some cute snakes to use as content warnings on my website. They don't really match the theme I have going for it, but I also don't really mind because it's my website so I can do what I want and I like snakes.
I also tried a more... anime-like? I guess? style with my sona recently, and drew him in an outfit based on one I have IRL but never wear. I feel like the pose is boring, but it was mostly just an experiment anyway and I think it's cute.
And that's all I really have for now in terms of recent artwork!

I remember seeing you on fedi! Thank you for sharing cute snakes, (my fave is the Violence And Gore snake) I checked out Snagen's page and Palmtree Panic fits him well (i love that song too ^^). Also, very clever usage of gradients to make that pixel-perfect grid texture in the background!!! I'm actually blown away by that it's so smart 
I'm definitely going to use that somewhere.
that's still a super neat resource, it's giving me a lot to play with :P
