That picture ... is special for me.
It is based on a picture that I took back in 2018, when I had probably the best time of my life at a furry convention.
It wasn't the first time at this con, but somehow, that year .. everything was almost perfect.
A con is difficult to me, thanks to social situations being very taxing for me. I loved every minute, but every minute has a price.
But despite that, I had a great time and was in the company of great people. Sadly I lost contact with a number of them since then.
Still .. It is a memory to treasure and I wanted that picture to be transferred into my fursona's life.
So this isn't a paintover, but rather a re-creation of the actual photo in my hotel room. Just a quick pitstop, drinking some water and energy drink and then back into the con area.
Also the body type is different (I am a heavyset guy IRL) and I don't have piercings or anything.
But, the shirt with the bear from the Crinklz brand is the same (just black rather than the original brown, since it would look silly with brown fur), the phone was the same (I had a Huawai P9 at that time) and of course all of the wrist bands are real.
The ones on my right arm (actual right, not mirror right) say: "Crinkle, Crinkle" and "Furries ruin everything".
I found that combination absolutely hilarious.
And yeah, the Crinklz Astronaut were the same of course. ;)
I asked BabyBippy if they would be able to draw it and, oh man, they sure delivered!
I love how it came out and it feels just perfect for my grown-up crinklesona.

The picture turned out really well, and the background details that you've decided to share about that really add some great context to it.
The picture came out great, but it took me over 5 years to finally get it drawn ^^'
Mostly because I was very weary about giving out RL stuff

I can certainly understand that. I'm glad you're happy with the results after that long of a wait.
Oh whoops.. I see how I voiced it wrong..
It took me 5 years to work up the courage and get it drawn.
And I needed to come to terms with my grown-up crinkly side first.
Bippy, the artist, finished it in a matter of only a few weeks.

Ah, OK. Still, I completely understand the working up the courage to to get it drawn and needing to come to terms with that side of yourself first.
I mean I was always a Babyfur (or better Kidfur/Littlefur) ever since I joined the fandom some 20ish years ago.
But I usually kept the RL pretty much to myself in most places and also didn't really had come to terms with a more grown-up yet also diapered side that popped up (also a connection to some RL issues that I have and therefor can connect to my sona)

Thanks for sharing - everybody has their own process/experience with these things. I was around the fandom about as long ago as you mentioned there, but didn't interact, create, or do anything active with it until this past year.
Definitely a wonderful drawing that was created for you.

I don't really have many shots like that and I usually don't show them around much... so the drawing was a good compromise.
The hotel bathroom had such a big, low mirror, I just had to use it

Bittersweet memories in a way. I know I won't get them back or very likely won't experience something similar again
aww sascha looks so cute wearing his black shirt and his cute diaper while sascha is taking a selfie of himself in the bathroom so adorable
Life is a bitch... you never know when it's gonna throw (a whole lot of good) or (a whole lot of bad) at your face... just gotta roll with them punches.
