TheMatelija is an NSFW furry artist best known for their work on FurAffinity (established in 2012) and e621 (where some of their work is also hosted). They specialize in anthro art featuring a clean, detailed style, focusing on muscular characters, dynamic poses, and explicit content. Their DeviantArt account (thematelija) was primarily used for browsing rather than posting—and currently contains no content—since the bulk of their NSFW furry work was hosted on FurAffinity. That account links to a new profile under the alias Saunasaur, which in turn points to two new platforms: Itaku and Bluesky (the latter being their currently active account and platform), The artist maintains this same muscular/hyper-muscular furry style and appears to have migrated—or opened a new account—under the name Saunasaur.

-A niche artist within the furry community, known for a recognizable and consistent style featuring muscular anatomy and anthro characters. Here is a LoRA trained for muscular/hyper-muscular furry art, based on their early work. I’ve included links for anyone who wants to follow and support the artist; thanks also for the support here that allows me to keep creating LoRAs (Yellow Buzz donations are welcome! 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻).
