Ghostpaw’s Furry Art Wishlist

Ghostpaw

I have a budget for commissions I’m not using because requesting art often takes too many spoons, or I’m fixated on specific people who rarely open to do some of these ideas.

I may break this out into more detailed posts for each character but for now it’s just a single place to put all of these ideas and desires.

Refs / Descriptions for (almost) all of my characters: https://refsheet.net/Ghostpaw

My FA; Favorites can be a gold mine of examples of my interests (NSFW if logged in) https://www.furaffinity.net/user/ghostpaw/

Pinterest. It’s the worst website for mood boards except all the others. I have some private boards I may link when commissioning someone, but there’s a few public ones relevant to my characters and aesthetics: https://www.pinterest.com/snowmiaux/

Ghostpaw (Yours truly, Bishi Snep)

More snep art, all the time, forever. Especially:

  • Collabs/Shared Art.
    • If you have a crush on / want to do terrible things to Ghost PLEASE JUST ASK
      • I am probably interested!!
    • Bonus points if we know each other or have interacted in-character but not required
    • Seriously there are characters I would do anything to smooch or worse out there and I’m too shy to ask about, I get it, this is permission to not be like me :3
  • Pride Art. Bisexual colors, lighting, clothes, outfits, flags, this cat is queer for pretty much everyone.
  • More art with my own OCs/Adopts.
    • This is an open invitation to ship Ghost with any of my other characters, basically.
    • Drawing/Interacting with Ghost and someone else looks exciting too? Speak up!

Ghostpaw has so many clothes. So many. Outfits I am missing / want more art of:

  • Any Plugsuit/Armor/(Living??) Latex Stuff.
  • Cybernetic Mersnep Monofin
  • Fur-As-A-Screen Snep
  • Living Rosebush Snep

More categories / characters below the fold because this is probably getting long.

Ghostpaw’s list of VRChat projects

VRChat

[This is a crosspost rescued from cohost.org]

For the last few months, I’ve spent a fair bit of time learning blender and getting into VR Chat.

This post is mostly for me, and just like… Having somewhere with this all written down to refer back to.

If you’ve got the time or skills to help with just outright handle one of these, feel free to reach out to me at the usual places – Email, Discord, Telegram, or DMs on social media are all fine.

I’m relatively technical and willing to learn but also happy to commission people too. My goal has really been to know what I’m asking for and be just technical enough that I can work with more skilled people in the community. So without adieu, here’s a project list broken down by avatar:

Foxipaws Felix (Ghostpaw / Snow Leopard)

  • Model bodyshape adjustments (I miss having hips!)
  • General clothing swap setup
  • Clothing – Corset (has an FBX, pre-fit and pre-rigged mesh)
  • Clothing – Kimono (Mesh and Material only)
  • Clothing+ -Hack of Metal’s Hyenid zipper suit (Cross-avatar port, lots of blendshape nonsense) I’ve done this! Mostly! Then I lost it! It could be done better I’m sure.

Battle Bunny Wildcat (Snepbot)

  • Trying to get new base layer shaders to work without destroying neon emission effects.
  • Base Opalescent shader for white/cyan version
  • Carbon Fiber base shader for black/purple version
  • Interactive ‘thermal sensitive’ underside with shader/touch interaction magic

FFXIV to Unity Export for Shadow Mountain

Currently can readily export to gltfs with different clothing assets from XIV

  • Limited talking / emote / gesture setup in Blender
  • Initial Unity import, mostly the blender prep I did this! Then FFXIV changed all their shaders. I need to do a lot of hacking to get the in-game AV to really look like the XIV version.
  • POSE FIXES. It turns out that Hrothgar’s arms are kind of silly huge, and I need to do some magical IK stuff to make this look not terrible in VRC :\
  • Gear / Clothing toggles in Unity

Novabeast Stuff

  • Custom color setup Done! I can swap between a cool purple novabeast and a red/white
  • Additional skin blending
  • Loooots of clothing swaps
  • I want more 2000’s vector art / wipeout inspired clothes and design elements! My red and white Novabeast is kind of inspired by the AG-Systems livery from Wipeout HD, be nice to back that up with the look.

Another (Social Media Site) bites the dust, and 2024 updates.

FFXIV, Ghostpaw, Meta, World Wide Web

Cohost couldn’t quite make it work.

I’m quite certain I’ll spend more time this Sneptember talking about this little website, but just off the top of my head, there’s some really amazing folks and communities I met through Cohost.

Maybe cohost and mastodon seemingly working have made me complacent about maintaining my own site, so I guess I’ll have to think about putting real content here. Until then, feel free to contact me on your horrible communication tool of choice

Some quick bullet point updates for how things have been going and what I’ve been up to this year:

  • My raid group Final Fantasy XIV this tier is great, I’m still self conscious about being a bad DPS player
  • Finally got into VR Chat. I have a lot of AV projects and I’m not great with blender but it’s very fun.
  • Been much more serious about birdwatching than I was in the past. Good brain hobby.
  • Got lured back to Warframe. I don’t know how long I’m going to stick at but it’s a time sink.
  • I still don’t get enough art of Ghostpaw or spend enough time doing furry things to make my brain feel good about it.

2023 in Sexy Snowcats

Ghostpaw

I always wish I was commissioning more art from the furry community. I’m particularly bad at this actually, partly because I follow too many artists, and partly because the back and forth of negotiating a custom piece of art is rife with pitfalls for someone with anxiety and ADHD.

Still, I manage to get a few new pieces of Ghostpaw every year and 2023 was no exception. I did end up with more YCH-style commissions than usual, but most of them turned out phenomenally so I can hardly complain.

I may also do a post with the non Ghostpaw art I got this year. If you want to give me any feedback on these, my socials are all listed on Contact & Networks – Feel free to reach out and chat!

Pretty Hip Cat

Get it? Pretty? Hips? Eeeeeh?

Not going to bury the lede with this blog – I’m a huge Furry, and Ghostpaw is my online avatar/Fursona. You should expect to see lots of art of him around! I’ve gone through lots of characters to represent me online but Ghost has stuck around the longest, perhaps for obvious sexy cat reasons.

This is a recent piece by @PeacheeDEW from Twitter that started as a YCH (Your Character Here) pose a few months ago that I instantly thirsted for. It’s also a good piece to use to talk about Ghostpaw’s design, and my taste in art when I commission artists to draw him!
