I didn't intend on making two memorial pictures in a row, but here we are I guess. This one is dedicated to Dragoneer, showing his hyena character Preyfar in his repair shop, welcoming you.
Preyfar's design is one of the earliest fursona designs that really stuck with me for a long while. So when the FA staff announced the Memorial Community Project for Dragoneer, I immediately knew that I wanted to draw him. I thought he would fit well in a cyberpunk setting, so that's what I went with.
I haven't said much about Dragoneer's passing, mostly because I felt that since it send such large shockwaves through the community, seeing as how much of an integral figure he was, I didn't have much to add really. I really wish I would have interacted with him more. I remember how proud I felt when I saw him following me or favorite something I had drawn. In the few exchanges we did have, he was always courteous and supportive and it meant a lot to me.
One of my takeaways from his passing is, that I want to be more upfront about when I feel admiration for someone and tell them more openly what they mean to me. Because life is too short to wait for the right moment sometimes.
Thank you Dragoneer, for making FurAffinity feel like a place where I felt welcome and at home.
