I think this was more furry art than I expected to see on a technical blog post.

See, a friend of mine suggested having some illustrations to go with the concepts to glue them in the mind of the reader. And since I have no artistic skills, I had to get them commissioned.

Since I grew up with Italian Disney comic books, an anthropomorphic yak sounded perfect, so I turned to a friend for suggestions on artists, and eventually contacted FurryViza (https://twitter.com/FurryViza).

I just gave her a prompt of what I had in mind and let her take it from there. I'm absolutely stunned by how it turned out!

You can tell that friend that it worked! They’re a great addition to the post.

To be fair, the domain is flameeyes.blog .

Also that joke about how downing a single plane on the way to a furry convention could cripple a countries IT capabilities :P

Not as unique as you might assume. https://soatok.blog/2022/02/09/using-rsa-securely-in-2022/

His technical blog posts are top notch mixed in with furry drawings and content galore. Definitely unexpected for every first time reader.

You know what? This was the most pleasantly surprised I've been considering how supplemental and nice the art was.

it seems more like anthropomorphic animals, as the artist was probably prompted with the 5 subjects involving yaks and rakes.
