No digital FireAlpaca art again today, although I've been trying to work on a birthday present for a furry couple I've known since my early days in the fandom.

Here's my collection of AI art for today:

theradicalchild: (Japanese Self-Defense Forces Flag)



It took several days to do this since I was distracted by other things, but here's my tribute piece to the late Akira Toriyama, modeled after Empyrea the eagle from Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. I used the old Imperial Japanese Army flag since the sun is in the center rather than the Navy flag, where it isn't.



Also, I'm super-addicted to AI art, so here's what I've generated in the past few days:

Here's an example of anthro otters in Toriyama's style:

The Legend of Whomper, Book 1The Legend of Whomper, Book 1 by Chris Farrington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There have been times when I’ve often gotten burned out on traditional textual literature without illustrations, so I figured I would alternate between reading them and graphical novels like this by Chris Farrington, whom I highly respect as an artist in the furry fandom and had commissioned a few times in the past. The titular fox hero, Vulpie Whomper (who doesn’t look vulpine but is cute nonetheless), has trained for years to master the war hammer and embarks upon quests to prove his worth. Each chapter (one divided into two parts) follows his various trials.

Whomper’s first trial opens with his initiation into the Brotherhood of the Hammer, after which he must visit several secret cities and prove the supremacy of his order’s weapon. A thief curses him with kleptomania, and when he gets the curse lifted, he chases after the culprit following a visible knife symbol (though this is unclear) to deal justice.

His second trial opens with guards of the Bridge to the Sky initially denying him entry, after which he must defeat a monster.

The third has him join Dextrose, a furred warrior whose specific species is unclear and seems somewhere between horse and kangaroo, as they battle slugs tormenting a town.

The fox’s fourth quest sees him seeking a town’s serial killer but ends without the said murderer subdued, Whomper needing to find another way to apprehend him.

In his fifth, he encounters a weasel thief ostracized by his fellow purloiners.

The two-part sixth quest sees him battling the slave-collecting Warmachine, piloted by two members of the vengeful Komodo Clan.

The seventh has him partner with a dragoness named Skyla Thornweaver, who remains with him for the rest of his adventures as they battle a new enemy, Gryzor.

Whomper’s eighth quest sees him and Skyla entering Brotherhood of the Arrow territory and battling pig-men bandits.

His ninth has Skyla kidnapped by a rodent princess, Grisella, whom he must rescue.

The tenth has Whomper going to a raccoon-populated city with a zombie problem, where he confronts Gryzor and the necromancer who created him.

The final chapter concludes the graphic novel with Whomper meeting a goat sage called the Edgemaster, under whom he begins apprenticeship after battling an ancient evil known as Xilix while having a final confrontation with Gryzor.

Overall, I found this a cute and enjoyable graphic novel, with my instincts about giving it a read well justified. While the animal characters are incredibly adorable (even if some of their species are vague, given the artist’s style), it isn’t one hundred percent family-friendly, given some occasional blood, albeit not excessive. Some plot points like that in the first trial seem to come out of nowhere, and the typical grammar and punctuation errors associated with standard comics abound. However, I highly recommend this graphic novel to those in the furry fandom seeking a fun and quick read.

Also, I've decided from now on to upload my AI art, since I've done a ton, in batches to my DeviantArt Stash, since it's a real pain trying to get the links and everything to them on my main gallery, so here's what I've done lately:

https://sta.sh/22c2iouqikbd

A lot of themes in recent days such as the Alamo, a day involving remembering veterans, and Alexander Graham Bell Day today (hence all the furs talking on telephones; I tried to get real old-school wall and candlestick phones, but even Bing Create seems to be alien to those types).

AI art I generated of bunny cupids:




Now for Valentine's Day-themed art I did myself, with today being World Bonobo Day:

Since today is the anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts America, I decided to do a piece of digital art as a birthday gift for a furry friend, and some AI-generated art with scouting otters as well:

Did this for a Russian fur on DeviantArt today:



Some AI art today of a seal in the Royal New Zealand Navy since today is Waitangi Day (although it's already past it in their time zone):

I did this YCH commission for a Dutch furry who wanted to see his amphibian character outfitted as a member of the Idaho State Police.



I also updated my YCH price sheets.



And here's AI art I did since today is National Thank a Mail Carrier Day.

My new reference sheet for my MC, by DaisybellTheCow:



Some AI art I generated on Bing Image Creator since today is National Carrot Cake Day:




No manual art today, although I did work on a "Furs across America" commission for a Dutch furry that wanted one of his characters depicted as an Idaho state trooper. Still awaiting his response to the inks I showed him.

Generated some groundhog/scoutmaster-themed AI art on Bing Image Creator earlier today:




I had used "purple groundhog" in my prompt, but maybe I should have said "purple-furred" instead. I still think they came out cute.

Here's some digital art I did manually for Chinese New Year:



I combined elements from Western and Eastern dragons.

I did this as part of my "Furs across the World" YCH series for a commissioner on FurAffinity and got USD$35 for it. I listened to Anne Murray while doing it. Here's the price sheet again for anyone interested.

I generated the art from Bing Image Creator (I used the prompt "Blanka and Zangief from Street Fighter II fighting Mary Poppins) and added the extras above and below it. Apparently Zangief is wearing Ryu's clothes. Pretty much a satire of Capcom porting, remaking, remastering, and milking the second Street Fighter to death (to the point where it inspired a page on TV Tropes).

A request from a user on DeviantArt, who wanted to see a kangaroo joey character from an episode of the animated series T.O.T.S. being inflated. This was really labor-intensive, so I decided to close requests afterward, and a piece like this would run about $50.

I did this for a fur who celebrated their birthday today. They live in Colombia but this character of theirs is Spanish.
