Welcome to the Arts District!

Among all the rigid order and aristocratic sway of the city, there lies a sanctuary for dissenting creatives. In this neighbourhood, ceremonial lanterns pool a lively glow upon painted houses, rising like patchwork shrines between narrow, gardened streets.

Here's where I live! If you'll follow me, I have half a lifetime of artwork in my apartment. I am certain you'll find something here you like.

The name's Wei, by the way. At your service.▶

Fursona Gifts

A couple of fursonas I made to gift to two of my friends. Both are canon to Exclave. I was very busy and had to complete these in a very short amount of time, meaning I had to leave out shading, but they were both really fun to design and draw. I'm also pretty proud of getting to a point where I can design multiple furry characters in under a week.

Gulliver

An OC for Exclave and 15 Icarus Street based on an axolotl I help take care of at work. Gulliver is a humanoid axolotl originally born in one of the jet stream floating settlements of Orolith, who began travelling the Galactic Weave and eventually got hired by Gate Express to be an interstellar courier.

This character was really fun to design! I'd been meaning to do fan art of one of my workplace exhibit animals for a long time, and I had sketches of Gulliver laying around for a while before I decided to make a full color thing.

Exclave - City Hall

Background art for the City Hall page of this website. I leaned more into the wierd fantasy aesthetics of Exclave with the magic pillars and stuff. Not fully sure I like how it came out, but I do think the lighting looks nice. Also if you know me in real life, you definitely know what building I referenced for this. Maybe could have played with the architecture more but it was still a nice study.

Exclave - Arts District

Background art for the Arts District page of this website. This was about my second big attempt at cityscape art, and also a "quick and dirty" practice work. I referenced images of old New York City apartments, and had lots of fun using a different color palette and giving it a more grungy feel.

Exclave - Waterfront

Background art for the Waterfront page of this website. I usually struggle with making paintings in a reasonable time, so this was an exercise in doing a quick and dirty cityscape that still looks nice. It took about two and a half hours.

Exclave - Central Plaza

Background art for the Central Plaza page of this website. This was one of my first serious attempts at nighttime urban scenery, and I heavily referenced photographs from 1950s Chicago and London, as well as Sana'a, Yemen.

It turned out, like, really well for how little experience I have with this kind of scene.

Email

Show-off sheet for my current main fursona. They usually hang around the post office, but will also happily guide you through much of this city!

I experimented with an expanded color palette and colored outlines with this work. Turned out nice.

Commission for Yuril

My most recent character commission, for a friend and fellow furry. Among other elements I designed an outfit for their fusona Yuril, which was really fun to do. Avali are fun to draw. The wings were kind of a pain though
