This is so important! Once you have a problem it takes way more work to fix than it would have taken to prevent 😔

Homies please, from someone doing this for almost 20 years and old; Save your hands Not EVERYTHING needs to be handsewn in. Proper gluing or other methods ARE VIABLE AND JUST AS GOOD plus you'll have joint cartilage in 20 years still Make sure to test with your OWN stuff first before using in coms!

Bsky ate my last post, so here's #expie progress! Pickable nose sewn on, neck ladder stiched, lining sewn, and ready to wear! #cosplay #fursuit #casualtiesunknown #fursuitmaker

14 Aug

Progress slowly continues on the expie cosplay, but in the meantime I have decided what my donation for @ane.boston's 2027 charity auction will be! I got giften a ton of grey fur which I am going to use to make an OC from @wingleafworkshop.bsky.social's 5ft anthro plushie pattern #furry #furryart

14 Aug

Currently codenamed "Sandman", he'll be a 5ft tall wolf #plushie made of HQ fur and will come with a few accesories. Giving myself lots of time to work on this one!

Progress on the #expie #cosplay! The head is 90% done, just needs the nose, 3rd spike, and some detailing! Got started on the paws using @teacuplion.bsky.social's sockpaw pattern. #fursuitmaker #fursuit #casualtiesunknown

31 July

Pausing print-to-order for now while I deal with some printer issues (and give myself some time to test-print new models)

25 July

Finished this absolutely BEAUTIFUL gore detail for the base of the #expie tail! Thanks to Ghost from Greakhound Studios who sent me the scraps of minky I used, including the GITD! #casualtiesunknown #fursuitmaker

22 July

Continued progress on the #expie #cosplay, they got fur and a shave!

Been very into #CasualtiesUnknown lately so I modeled an Expie fursuit base for a cosplay, and added it to my print-to-order menu. darkerhorse.art/products/exp... #furry #fursale #fursuit #cosplay #fursuitmaker #expie #smallbusiness #3dprinting

I've made a mistake but realized it in time for Pride Month! I never tagged this sticker as a sticker, so it wasnt showing up on my Stickers page 😩 which explains why they were only selling in person. You can get your own in time for pride here: darkerhorse.art/products/pro... #queerart #pride

Hi there! I'm Rex, a disabled artist who makes queer art with a fantasy theme. I've been having a rough week and havent had much new to show, but I'd love if you could share my art so people can see what I've already made! darkerhorse.art #bsnm #queerart #smallbusiness #lgbt #craftsky #handmade

If you made it this far and toss me a follow, I promise to use every fiber left in me to continue to make art that is beautiful, accessible, authentic, and antiauthoritarian for you. I'm so crushed by the need to always be posting when I'd rather be making, so even sharing this thread is a gift.

In a world of AI slop and platform enshittification, the best we can do as artists is uplift each other. I hope my human words managed to reach you through all that noise.

I make #stickers, #resinart, #linoprints, 3d models and #3dprints, #fursuits, #dice, #pronounpins, #enamelpins, and more. I dont always have everything in my online store because I am a disabled part time artist (I need to have a stable job for health insurance) and its a lot to keep up with.

In 2025 I attended and supported six in-person vendor events that centered small artists like me in our community. I collaborated with other small makers, I attended makerspaces, I traded, I made long term friends.

A little more about me and what I do. Last year, I donated $1590 from my sales across 4 charities. The Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, Red Cross and CHIRLA. This year I will continue that trend. I want my art to have a purpose and reach in this world beyond just me.

Tried my hand at a real #linocut linoleum block. My hands were sore after, but the detail is great. I think I will stick to speedycarve for most cuts 😅 Still getting the hand of sharpening my tools.

My Big Cat tpu headbase with PLA eyeblanks. I'm experimenting with Foam TPU with this base and will likely make it my next premade, but these bases will be available print-to-order soon in regular TPU #furry #fursuit #fursuitmaker #3dprinted #fursuitmaking #tpu #furryheadbase #3dprinting

WIP shot of an upcoming Screech premade I am working on, using my Screech head base model! Still needs some cleanup on the shave, mouth details, and the lining to be sewn in but I'm so happy with it so far! Taro has been a labor of love, mostly hand sewn #fursuitmaker #fursuit #wip #furry

Do you like colorful costume claws? I've modeled my own and am ready to print them in a variety of colors. I'm thinking $10 for a set of 12 (10 regular claws and 2 "nubs" for dewclaws or queer cuts) #furry #fursale #3dprinting #bsnm

I'm working on a resin version that will feature glitter as well, but these will be the cheapest price-wise.

Making some edits to my Screech fursuit head base STL in preparation for a Screech premade. Once I am happy with it, I'll probably print them to order as well! Screeches are designed by Sunbeam Needleworks #furry #fursuitmaker #blender #3dprinting
