>What even is this story about? You never told us and it looks fake and gay and boring and we can't take you seriously with that name.
Well, it is indeed fake. It is a fantasy story set in an alternate world containing both humans and anthros, the time setting being vaguely comparable to our own Late Medieval and Early Renaissance.
War has broken out between the primarily human kingdoms of the island of Ienrrarg, and the primarily canine mainland kingdom of Ikbatewa. In less than a decade, the Ikbemites have already succeeded in conquering nearly half of the island. The story follows an Ienrrargian human protagonist, Arrehp, on his adventure after being press ganged into the navy of the invading Ikbemites.
This is a mature story and as such may contain violence, gore, explicit language, suggestive themes, etc. And whilst on the subject of disclaimers, I should note this work is AI-assisted. See >>115816 for what I mean.

I liked it, fur critique I wish there was one a little more exposition on the setting, like who are this faction of wolves and how did they come to power? And two what species is Arrehp? It’s a multi species setting so it’s hard to tell and I can’t really make it out in the picture.

The story said his mom was a powerless HUMAN in the face of the wolf soldier, so I can say with 99.9% certainty that Arrehp is human too.

The REAL question is if Arrehp is gonna meet a sisa wolf girl while sailing the seven seas.

Girls don’t serve in the navy doe that’s why the navy’s gay. Maybe they mutiny with le female prisoner or find the sisa later after jumping ship.

I did consider adding a whole primer section covering worldbuilding but decided on "show, don't tell" instead. The setting should clarify as the story progresses. Arrehp is human-- that I could have made clearer I suppose. The art is supposed to look kind of shitty (I was going fur the look of >>93773) but I definitely should've used a higher resolution here. I started with the background. Then, when I got to the characters, I realized I was basically working with pixel art. The advantage is it's relatively fast but I will probably start with characters first next time.

I was drinking some beer when I read it so maybe it wasn’t a thorough read on my part, I didn’t want everything fur the wolves just some strings. Like are they fureign occupiers or were they always here? Are they normally civil with the people when not drafting or are they just dicks?

Alright, everyfoo. I'm going to be honest. I'm just not feeling the illustration part of this project. I'd rather just write. If anyone is interested in illustrating the scenes, please let me know. You should be okay with your illustrations being under the same CC BY-SA license and they should fit the tone, which I think the three images I've published as part of this story so far communicate-- those are the only requirements. I suppose ideally you should also be okay with knowing the story in advance, of course. Please let me know if any of you are interested. Thank you, and apologies for the hiatus!

Am I offering too little? I'm not asking for masterpieces. I can apply effects and shading myself. I'm basically just asking for lineart. Nothing fancy. Ideally something that can be produced in less than an hour.

You're right. I didn't even write a proper blurb for it. I just put some bullshit in the OP and was like here's my story, fuckers. geg.
I'll have to do some experimenting with the artstyle and find a suitable illustrative process that isn't too time-consuming, then.

I suppose I could, but there's a vision I have in mind and it requires the illustrations. I have been a little whiny with my "wahh i don't wanna draw" bullshit, though. Sorry.

Thank you for your interest! It should be noted this position requires a minimum of 4 years of prior art experience. For consideration, please submit your portfolio.
I've illustrated the two currently-published chapters in this thread, plus the cover art, so there are some examples. I was attempting to emulate the styles from the picrels (the artstyles, not necessarily the anatomy). However, I'm definitely open to any other ideas & styles so long as they fit the tone. My email's in the email field should you want a more direct means of communication. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!

I haven't had the chance to check today, but last I did: no. I'll stop including it in my posts here from now on. I started doing it around the time of the shutdown announcement just to provide another contact for everyone. This was back when a succession crisis seemed imminent. I was even going to make a thread linking to other known points of contact such as furfagschizophrenia.org:27044 (femcelanon though you can't really "contact" him through there anyways) and... uh... that's all I have. lol. But anyways, looks like any such crisis was averted, thankfully.

A disclaimer, since I've noticed AI is still frowned upon here:
I do NOT claim to be a drawGOD. All the images used so far have been tracegiraffeged from a combination of sources including photographs of myself, stock photographs, images from the Internet, and, finally, from AI generations. You may now retroactively opt to call them slop (because, fair enough, I don't think they're great) but, trust me, if I had actually tried to freehand them, they'd've been worse still. For reference, here's the base for chapter 2's illustration. There was still plenty of effort involved in producing the final image. I can attest to that much. Likewise, the text itself is usually brainstormed by AI following my direction, then manually rewritten.
I did not try to hide the use of AI, but I probably ought to have made an explicit disclaimer earlier. I apologize.
