A winner is this #CoatiMonday! LunaTheCute did this line art of Austin having snagged a sandwich. The illustration was a prize won at Furry Bingo this year during Motor City Furry Con and it's a delight to have a fresh picture of me doing one of my favorite activities, bringing joy to whoever just had a sandwich before.
By the way if you ever need cheering up look for videos of 'coati steals sandwich'. You're welcome.
#CoatiMonday today features an old Patreon reward, a postcard sketch by FA/Slickpuppy, from back when I was flush with cash and thought I'd have ideas for monthly sketches forever. (I ran out of ideas after the second month and Slickpuppy suspended his Patreon after that.)
Note the crescent moon on the foreleg there; this is the rare picture showing what I'd once tried to make a motif of my character.
Leaping into summer this #CoatiMonday. This gorgeous picture was generously done by @/[email protected] and shows one of my favorite activities. Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47668808/
Being painted is my most idiosyncratic special interest, and I'm happy to have any pictures that showcase it.
This #CoatiMonday is part of a complete breakfast! And thanks to PatchO'Black, on SpinDizzy Muck, whose fun recent paint job landed me this tasty cereal mascoati job. This is another piece of my own art (see https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47863795/ ) but, uh, watch this space.
I'd *love* to do something in the style of 70s Rocky-and-Bullwinkle Cheerios comic book ads, but I lack the expertise in serial cartooning.
It's a summertime #CoatiMonday, as wax robot fox FA/ZukaroTravon and I beat the heat by completely surrendering to it. This is my own illustration, done with a surprisingly successful experiment in digital watercolors, as seen at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46058800/
I owe Zukaro thanks for rekindling my interest in melting/liquid scenes and getting me to draw them.
Keeping cool this #CoatiMonday, thanks to FA/techno. kindly giving me a lovely marble-and-gold goop coating. Remember to keep the hottest sun off of you!
I don't know that the picture's posted on a proper gallery.
Gosh it sure would be unthinkable and embarrassing if this goop congealed into a solid mass leaving me a statue for the week, wouldn't it?
Enjoying a happy summer shower this #CoatiMonday with my own art, and experiment in drawing weather.
Done partly as Vahno-on-Birdsite was encouraging about my shiny art and my big fat foot-covering boots, so I looked for an excuse to do a little more of that. I'm sure it's a wild coincidence that I come out looking as shiny as the rubber boots and yellow hat here. Also because /@balloonpup has a lot of rubber characters who wear rain gear and I wanted in.
Enjoy seeing less of me this #CoatiMonday as I get into the invisible paint. This was fun but hard, because I had to keep thinking about what to show. The paint bucket particularly made my head hurt to think about.
I drew the snout differently this time, with more of a Preston Blair influence. Not sure if it works, but it's got a fun line to it.
A gifted #CoatiMonday; this is one of a sweet set of vinyl coati stickers my dear bride gave as an anniversary present.
I haven't decided what I'll do with the stickers beyond appreciating them and the desire to share them with me.
Having a bit of fun hanging out poolside with @/Eon, your inflatable friend, this #CoatiMonday! Also with one of those padlock stickers that people are so silly about putting on null toys. Anyway look how happy toy is hanging out like this.
My own art and wow but I feel good about how this came out.
CW: mindplay/hypnosis theme; consenting but one might read it as accidental.
Keeping cool again this #CoatiMonday, thanks to FA/techno. who didn't just draw this in marble-and-gold (that I shared months ago) but also did this blue-and-purple variant. Remember to keep the hottest sun off of you!
I don't know that the picture's posted on a proper gallery.
A statuesque #CoatiMonday as I share my own picture of me somehow a block of living marble. It's a fun way to hang out and prank pigeons!
A while back someone messing around on FurryMuck flashed me with a Medusa Head, with no idea that I was going to run with that. You never expect how many people will ask why you're able to move and talk and all. I choose to think they're worried for me rather than wishing I were inert.
One of my own doodles this #CoatiMonday, depicting one of the minor burdens of having such a great tail: fans who'll want it all for themselves. Yes, it's a struggle, but I endure it because it is worth the struggle.
Going for a good stretch this #CoatiMonday. I have an elastic side I don't play enough and I'm trying to get that fixed. So this picture is based on the title panel for the story 'Bubble Gum' in Plastic Man #11, https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=19957 page 15.
I posted it at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49082066/ too. It's made me realize there's potential in ripping off^W^W studying Jack Cole's work for my own use.
Isn't that always the way? You find a great @Eon costume for a Halloween #CoatiMonday and then Eon is nowhere to be found.
Toy was so kind as to let me put it on, and draw this, as you can see at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49430374/ and this is one of the rare pictures where I'm just happy at how *everything* came out. A picture is never quite how you imagine it'll look, but this came much closer than anything else I've drawn the past month.
Another of my own illustrations this #CoatiMonday --- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49695354/ --- of me with my favorite person, my wife. Drawn as a small gift for her birthday this past week.
A long while ago she mentioned a passing fancy of holding a tiny me and I finally illustrated it. (Somehow I usually tend to be the giant one.) You can pick whether this is a giant BunnyHugger or a tiny me, or both.
For this #CoatiMonday please enjoy two porcelain coati figures, apparently the same mould but slightly different after being fired. And painted.
The naturalistic-colored one was a gift from my dear bride to me months ago and I've shown it before. The Delft-style one on the right is one she bought recently and for herself.
Any resemblance to a before-and-after petrifaction sequence is coincidental.
For #CoatiMonday I repeat myself, sharing a dancing picture I did for Charles Schulz's centennial, seen also at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49974562/
Peanuts is the oldest thing I remember being a fan of; I can't remember a time before I could read and what I read was this comic strip. I can't say how happy I am to be able to draw a decent picture of Snoopy myself.
Sharing a gift from my wife an a souvenir from Mexico City this #CoatiMonday. The coati magnet and the thought balloon are gifts from dear BunnyHugger. The goldfish-shaped magnet with the rabbit that's suspiciously close to her look on it is a souvenir she picked up back in 2018.
The fridge they are on is a Kenmore picked up from the Sears down the road in 2019 after we thought carefully about whether they'd be around the whole twelve-month warranty lifespan. They were not.
For the last #CoatiMonday before Christmas the finest of all possible gifts, me! This picture of a coa-tree was inspired by @Chiaroscuro and was a fun idea.
My own art, posted up at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50236689/
Happy #CoatiMonday! Did you catch me in the parade? Well, if you missed it, here's my own rendition of the scene.
Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49947805/ and yeah, I drew it in time for the (US) Parade Day back in November but other stuff took my Monday publication slots, so this seemed like a good secondary day.
Happy 'Roo Year? Wait, that's not supposed to happen! This is #CoatiMonday! What's with the fat toes? The floppy ears? The pinkness? The --- ooh, free pouch! Okay! But seriously why is Roofus_roo's toy that I'm sharing for her so broken that it's doing something like *this*?
My own holiday art; original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50450175/
A surprisingly rare transformation picture from me, considering how much I like the theme.
I'm helpful this #CoatiMonday! Vahno's been content or even happy as a Free Will Drone, but they still have some adjustments to make in not having a face or mouth or such.
Free Will Drones are an idea we've been roughing out, and it's like you think, a rubber drone that isn't compelled to be someone's toy or maid or such. Just someone with low initiative and less intense personality. They enjoy it, in their way.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50425363/
I look like a Muppet here.
Ever have one of those #CoatiMonday days where you're trying to get somewhere and a mysteriously context-free hoist is taking advantage of your natural elasticity? So *rude*.
My own art, at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50614269/ and a rare moment of me drawing a not-generic emotion! I'm very happy with how this came out.
A bit of a redraw #CoatiMonday for me as I revisit the 'Austin in galoshes' look. I like the idea and am trying to get a handle on avoiding drawing paws by covering them in things. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50717135/ for my upload of this to FurAffinity, or https://blimps.xyz/@Austin_Dern/108708906162261316 for the earlier take.
Sure is weird those boots are blushing, huh? Wonder how that sort of thing comes about.
An extraordinarily innocent #CoatiMonday today as I finally do a picture matching me up with one of my favorite fictional animals, Eugene the Jeep! And, as you can see, we have not been up to *anything* and are very glad you spotted us right here and now!
Back to my own art this #CoatiMonday, about that time I got to box @Eon! Toy's always so kind to go along with my silly ideas like this.
This one I feel like I did the folds and shine lines on Eon's face unusually well; so much of pooltoy art is about these little streaks of dark and light to suggest the material. A dark line with a light line on the layer underneath does *so* much.
Having a rock solid time this #CoatiMonday! Please enjoy a piece of my own art of getting to look incredibly lifelike, just a work of art, thanks to my discovering the star-filter brush on Procreate. Original picture at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51083272/
I agree, it's very peculiar that this sort of thing would just happen to me for no reason and that I'd look this happy about it.
Having a brilliant time this #CoatiMonday! A picture of a stained-glass cat sculpture that was going around here ( https://mstdn.social/@BadgerBadger/109927273293059764 ) left me figuring I could do that too, and so here I did. Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51225687/ for your reference.
I loved doing this and want to do more with translucent textures. Will probably revisit the theme now that I've learned some things about how to do it.
Attached: 1 image I've been saving this for #caturday but also because I have a thing for stained glass animals Edit - not my work, I just like it
An expert opinion this #CoatiMonday as @hexadoodle, professional limb appreciator, examines one of the many understated wonders of the coati form, our naturally reversible feet! Raccoons and squirrels have the same arrangement and it's fun when someone discovers that.
My own art ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51301935/ ) and my most challenging picture yet as there's *three* hands touching stuff.
And thanks to Hexadoodle for letting me play with a wonderful frog who is just *so* *much* *fun* to draw.
Hi, plush.city! Embarrassed to realize I failed to ever share this so I'll make it up this #CoatiMonday. I was having a soft time a month and a half ago and figured what I might look like as a plush doll and really liked how it came out. The draw string particularly is a *powerful* energy. My own art, here.
I'm embarrassed I forgot not only that Chase *had* posted this to his FurAffinity but I'd even commented on it there!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51433006/ for the original picture.
Let me tickle your fancies this #CoatiMonday! Or you can tickle mine. Here I drew one of my wildest fantasies, that of my dear bride BunnyHugger feeling absolutely free to tickle me because I enjoy it even if she does not understand how someone might like being tickled. Also, yes, I am ticklish enough in reality that people waving their fingers at me will cause me to giggle.
Original art at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51480211/
I hope this #CoatiMonday that folks feel the delight I have in getting to enjoy eggs and lots of painting things strange colors. My own art, posted at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51714932/ for stable reference.
Several weeks back someone on SpinDizzy ( https://muck.spindizzy.org/ ) painted me pink, 'with pink bunny ears' and so that's why I've got more ears than usual. You know how it is when you're oddly susceptible to being painted.
It's a party-ready #CoatiMonday today! inflatessimal@birdsite was so good as to draw me as a mylar balloon, helium-filled and ready to join whatever the celebration is!
Love those seams, love those scallops, and love the rare chance to see a mylar version of me.
Enjoy the happy evanescence of a delicate #CoatiMonday! I knew that this soap-bubble commission from @frengers was going to be one of the best I ever got, but underestimated just how exquisite it would be.
This is so much a puff of air slightly contained in films of soap and water that it's a joy however long I look at it.
New month, new slapstick! After the sublime last #CoatiMonday FA/Lunara-Toons helped me get in touch with my cartoon side with an image based on a scene from the 1939 Merrie Melody _Porky's Tire Trouble_ (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7xefuj at about 5:20). It's a great moment of stretchy, rubbery action. Being purple was Lunara-Toons's inspiration but it nicely fits my interest in being novel colors.
Original art at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51808572/
Enjoy some solid private time this #CoatiMonday with a picture by FA/techno., showing me curling up, listening to a little music, and feeling all secure that nothing troublesome is going to get through to me anytime soon.
And, for those worried about the epoxy here, please don't. This used up the last of the bottles so there's nothing going to waste. Also it's a five-CD model there playing burned MP3s so the soundtrack isn't going to be repetitive anytime soon.
A small embarrassment this #CoatiMonday: when people asked what kind of coati I am I've offered 'banana-nosed coati' and just recently checked and learned it's an idiosyncratic description! People write about white-nosed coatis but not the banana-nosed kind.
Well, I extend my thanks to FA/techno., who gifted me with a definitive picture of Austin the banana-nosed coati.
Here's a #CoatiMonday feature you won't want to duck! It's always a thrill, for artist and commissioner, is asking them to just run amuck with your character and see what happens! Panda Jenn delighted me with this beautiful piece based on one of those body goals I've had since childhood.
Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52142044/
Take a little pressure off this #CoatiMonday and enjoy deflating from a room-filling balloon size back down! All you have to do is reach the shutoff switch ... uh ... all right, that's maybe a little too much fine motor control for right now. Well, just reach over and snag the air hose so ... uh ... okay, my arm's stuck in the window. Well, I'm sure someone will open a door and come in, help me out, right? Right?
Delightful YCH art by FA/BladeDragoon, https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52271128/
Tote your way this #CoatiMonday! Part of an art trade with FA/techno., their fox-corvid DJ RFX takes me for a walk in the Cat Tote Bag. The bag is a curiosity I saw in a 1946 comic, where it's presented as a way someone would transport their cat somehow.
My half of the trade, showing RFX getting a similarly fun ride, is at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52282691/ and links to the comic book that gave me this weird interest.
Enjoy a pause this #CoatiMonday! @/[email protected] sure is, in a drawing of my own that I somehow forgot to share with you all some time ago. This was a breakthrough piece for me in learning how to draw figures that look like they're touching one another. It was a breakthrough for digitalFox in that he got a pleasant weight on his shoulders, too.
Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49211911/
It's always great to have your limbs examined by a professional like @hexadoodle and to try out a quick swap and see how the other half toes. But it's also always nice to get back in your own feet and see what good shape they're in now.
Thanks again to hexadoodle for letting me draw a fun piece and giving me a rare chance to be a little modular this #CoatiMonday. Original art at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52442234/ and following up on https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51301935/
This #CoatiMonday I ask: does this look like my kink? The headless hydra's a character I've been drawing a fair bunch lately. They've found they don't really need a head, anyway.
The scene's drawn from real life, where someone entering a room was surprised I was real and I thanked them for the confirmation my balance was still good.
The scene's also drawn by me. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52621325/ for the original art.
An #introduction #CoatiMonday! I'm Austin Dern, the first coati in fandom, and here's some of my art showing my favorite activity, being with BunnyHugger, my bride of 11 years and partner of 15. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52720495/
I'm a proud nonanthro, a moderator on blimps.xyz, and head wizard of SpinDizzy Muck, a longrunning furry gang living in a city in space on a journey they don't understand ( https://muck.spindizzy.org/spindizzy-jsclient/client.html ).
Follow me for impractical game concepts periodically posted.
Also if I fail to follow you back immediately please understand it isn't anything more than that I miss stuff, and don't think to check back.
Toot back to me some and I'll catch on, eventually, don't worry.
This #CoatiMonday I invite you into the Cave of Wonders! On FurryMuck, I'm both giant and petrified and that's got some people very curious what might happen if they went spelunking. I'm open to it, of course ... not my fault if someone gets cold feet.
My own art; original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51793005/
I hope the #CoatiMonday finds you well; me, I'm in the midst of summer and enjoying the melty weather. My own art. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51767279/
Don't worry about my body integrity, this kind of thing happens *all* the *time*.
@KinkyTurtle A character I had forgotten! Thank you for the reminder.
But no, I just like bananas a good bit is all and have a fantastic nose.
