I'm still trying to figure out how to think of plots for stories. At the moment what I seem to do is:
- Think of characters. This isn't too hard, at least because they are very often fursuiters so as well as a name I can give them a suit species and imagine what the suit might be like, and so on
- Write about them. Nothing too strenuous, I just do little snippets of their day or them meeting another character, little things like that. I try to get a feel for the character.
- Hope that a plot involving the characters comes to me. This is where it all falls down, of course. In one case I've had a settings emerge which *might* be a good place for a plot to happen in, but so far the plot hasn't made itself known.
I wonder whether I'm going about this all backwards. Should I instead be deciding what the main theme(s) is/are, i.e. what I want to say, then finding a plot that serves the theme(s), then coming up with characters and settings that that plot could take place in? Maybe my big difficulty with writing is more than I don't know what I really want to say in the first place.
If you write stories, how do you come up with plots?
I've noticed a pattern when someone makes me try a new art material for coloring, I tend to try it doing a fox. It was completely unconscious, perhaps because I like foxes so much, especially their colors, that theyβre the first thing that comes to mind whenever I need to add color to something.
Also a very basic furry take: I love foxes! I think they are so precious. I blame Disney for liking foxes so much, I played hundreds of times the same VHSs of the Fox and the Hound and Robin Hood to the point I knew them by memory.
This piece was made the same day I was trying acrylic markers for first time, first I drew a marten and then this fox. I'm gonna dispaly the original of this one at MFF's Art Show.
And in the end I bought an acrylic sets for myself, so expect to see many pieces with those materials.
Go fetch!!

(When I saw all the details I had to add on each character, and to work during a convention, I just thought "oh no!", yeah it took longer than usual but in the end it was satisfaying, I personally like the result)
(Hope that is not encouraging, don't bring overcomplicated characters for an artist to work during a convention if you don't want to see your artists crying) XD

EDIT: You do not need to own a fursuit to do fursuit cuddles if at least one of us owns one, and I do.
Look at the first colored piece by this artist named "Pacour"!
Me and my friend Karpour had been talking for a time about making a collab piece together. In the past, we had played around with other artists doing collaborative sketches, where one artist starts doodling a character's pose and another artist finishes it. But we had never tried taking that idea a step further and doing a fully finished illustration by constantly passing it back and forth between us. Even to the point of coloring and inking it.
So we finally decided to give it a try!
This piece was for Kazan and Ronin, featuring them, executing the heist of the decade, running away with one of those fancy serving carts from the House of Prime Rib!
Process of the work:
Karpour: Composition and initial sketch
Paco: Second sketch
Karpour: Third sketch
Paco: First cleanup
Karpour: Second cleanup
Paco: Coloring
Karpour: Inking
It was a really fun experiment, seeing how the drawing kept evolving every time we passed it back to each other! I'm sure is not going to be the last one!

ascii art is an underappreciated medium that most people just don't respect anymore (despite text emotes still being a thing)
when you search for ascii art it's mostly how to 'generate' it by processing an already made image, or with some text generator, it's very rare to find information about actual handcrafted text art
it's like if you were to search for pixel art and almost everybody only ever talked about making it by downscaling a high res image, you're missing a lot of the unique expressiveness of the medium!
A friend came over with a big box of acrylic markers. I had seen other artists using them before, but I hadn't had the chance to try them myself until now. So this was my first attempt at using them!

And yup, I ended up buying a set for myself.

I really feel this. I've got to the stage where if something seems anything less than easy for me to do I feel like a failure, and I rarely get anything useful done nowadays. I get by, just about, on absolute minimum effort, and feel I'm wasting my life.

openssh on musl linux has been letting people into password-less accounts since 2016.sshhole.com
openwrt is unlikely to be affected in a default install, due to using dropbear, as well as having daemon accounts (with a * as a hash) having a shell of /bin/false.
Installing openssh instead for whatever reason should still be protected by the latter.
