A fluffy green hyena

Do you like flip-flops? What about other shoes?
Sort of. I'm picky. I only really like the ones with thick straps and bottom soles! I personally wear some like that; they're a bit hefty. I like how they complement a guy's paws/feet. I just think they make a guy's feet look strong! I love watching them flick that quick flash of someone's sole as they walk. I guess the same goes for geta sandals, you know, those sandals that people sometimes wear with robes and kimonos. They're probably my favorite. I might have a thing for guys in robes who wear those sandals, haha.
I also really like dress shoes and spats. There's just something about how formal spats look that I enjoy. I really like seeing them in art too; I think paws with spats are a winning combination. I also really like seeing guys in dress shoes, especially when they slowly slip them off, exposing those stompers. Rawr! It looks so satisfying when someone takes them off after a long day at the office!
Favorite kind of feet (5 toed, 4 toed, paw, etc.)
I personally have a preference for plantigrade paws with 4 toes, toe claws, and pads on the bottom of the toes and balls of the paws. That's why I designed my fursona to have them!
What is your dream tickle scenario? :3 any tools, setting, friends, characters you wish for etc
I wouldn't mind visiting my friend who lives in Germany. I would like to one day meet him in-person and have some friendly foot/tickle play. I would happily slip off his footwear and run my fingers down his big, soft, bare feet. Maybe he and I could lie in bed and play with each other's feet at the same time. Some playful tickling in bed could lead to a few tickly cuddles before bedtime too! Rawr! <3
What's your ideal tickle torture situation? Those yeen feet need the attention!
My ideal situation for being tickled? I wouldn't say I have a singular ideal situation. Realistically-speaking, if I had to be tickled, I'd plop my feet in one of my close friend's lap and have him tease me with a big, soft, fluffy feather or two while trying to get me to admit I like being tickled. Have him slide his feathers up and down my soles, towards the sides, and ending off by swirling them down to my heels while teasing me with tickle talk. Maybe, after he's had his fun, we could hold each other close for a few post-tickle kisses. Of course, I only imagine doing this with about three people I know!
What got you into tickling?
if that question was answered already, if not a green yeen, what other species would you've taken for your Sona?
It was definitely a few cartoon tickle torture scenes, a certain fox in particular had something to do with it. I remember having dreams of having fun with him! Then, when I was first introduced to the internet, you could imagine what kind of shenanigans I quickly searched up when no one was around—most of them being furry artwork!
If I wasn't a yeen, I'd probably have a Pokésona instead. Yeah, either a Pangoro or a Delphox!
Are you ticklish irl?
Yes, I am! I like being tickled, and I like to tickle too! I would love to tickle fight with some of my close friends, even though I'd probably lose as soon as they tried sneaking their fingers under my arms!
What's your favorite thing about paws?
I like how soft they look. What paw-lover wouldn't want to nuzzle into or put their hands on an anthro's paws? I also really like claws. I think they're very cute!
Are you into macro/micro?
Sort of. I like the idea of being macro and rubbing my little friends beneath my big hyena feet. Rawr, smothering them under my soft paws until they get all flustered and excited to be underneath them. Besides that, of course, I'd very much enjoy tickle play too—maybe have my little friends try and tickle their way out from under my feet, or have them mercilessly tickle my big, sensitive pair of helplessly trapped feet with oversized feathers or toony-gloved tickle machines while I'm powerless to stop them. I like the whole idea of the reverse size play!
Fave number of toes on furry peeps?
I prefer somewhere between 3 to 5. I like 3 for most toon characters, 4 for general furry characters (kind of like my character), and 5 for characters who have slightly more human-like proportions!
I got two questions, if that's okay!
1: What's the best advice you would give to a beginner artist? You're great at it and I think it would be useful to know what you think!
2: This one's more bold but, what is one thing that never fails to fluster you? :p
1: Keep practicing. You will improve over time, even if it may not feel like it. Try not to compare yourself to other artists much, instead, use their art as reference—take a look at how they do certain things and emulate the parts you like.
2: Oh, there are MANY things that would fluster me: seeing guys with their arms up and feet exposed, having my feet kissed by close friends—well, I guess being kissed by very close friends in general works too, haha—men wearing flip-flops with thick straps (that quick shot of their soles as they walk on by is very hard not to look at), being tickled and having someone "torture" me with tickle talk (coochie coochie coo, etc.), and being "threatened" with fluffy feathers (I like the soft and fluffy).
your icon is SO fuckin gorgeous, do you take comms?
Thank you. My icon is a year or two old by this point. I made it back when I was trying to figure out how to color; I wouldn't know how to recreate the lighting or the shading, though. I'm a little hesitant about taking commissions because I'm new to drawing for other people, but I'll draw them if I'm comfortable with what I'm asked to draw. My prices are on FA.
What do you do on your casual time off?
Aside from drawing, I like to collect Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, annoy purple cats, play video games (Fall Guys, Wizard101, various Nintendo Games, etc.), and sleep! Yeah! Sleeping is so much fun!
Who are your favorite toon character with nice feetpaws? :)
One of my friends told me I remind him of Tiger from An American Tail. After looking the character up, I like him. I like that he has ticklish feet too! I also really like Tony the Tiger and Chip the Wolf. It's rare to see their paws, but I've seen them on cereal boxes. I have a picture of Chip's foot paws from a box. I keep it as reference!
Has anyone caught you and tickled you IRL?
Nah, nobody has. Would be nice though, haha.
Hmmm.. why diiiiiid you decide to choose a yeen as yer sona species?
My decision was based on my personality traits. Originally, my fursona was a lion because I thought my personality was more cat-like, so I figured a lion would be the best fit. Also, lions are cool! I then settled on a hyena because I later thought my personality was dog-like as well, however I was not completely committed to being fully dog, so I did the next best thing and decided to pick an animal which was basically a cat in a dog-like body!
