Constant goofball commissioner. They/Them. 38. Michigan.
None of the art here was drawn by me. It is all commissioned or gifted, with the original artist credited each time.
Also check my scraps!

Early "oddfur"/"multifur" artists? (G)
9 months ago
I was looking through some old art and it hit me: back in the day, it felt like it was extremely rare to find "oddfur" art. That is, art of characters with multiple/extra/misplaced body parts or other unusual forms of anatomy. Think lamia/naga, merfolk, hydras, characters who just have two heads, etc. Who would be some of the early adopters of this? ("Early" defined as "predates the existence of FurAffinity").
justdoug aka Doug Winger (RIP) -- The most obvious choice
arakaraath (RIP) -- lots of conjoining, merging, and multiple body parts
kturtle -- has had a two headed vixen and three-armed turtle since forever
rancid aka Hunnycomb Studios/Orion Starbeard -- creator of the handtaur (characters with giant hands for their lower bodies); long history of unusual stuff going back to the VCL days; thankfully still very much in the game and I'm happy to get from them every time
tabbiewolf -- not "odd" per se, but was massively ahead of the curve when it came to wacky hybrids and uncommon species; another one I'm happy to get from every time (go follow her on Bsky!)
strredwolf -- has been out there since the 90s, often claimed to be one of the first "multifurries"
michaelhiggs aka Tiny Foxtaur -- lots of early hyper/multiboob stuff; seems to have retired from drawing but is still out there (and sold me two characters!)
aubrin -- Early adopter of amputation and hyper themed content
kobi-lacroix -- another early one with a very fun dynamic style full of multiple limbs, heads, and the like
In short, I'm looking for artists who did almost anything that could be considered "odd" or multi, and predates the existence of FA.
Which other ones can you think of?
