The "anything" thread

Does anyone take a slap on you for; (Being a furry / Having a fursona)?
Pretty much most people on the internet now have a heavy dislike to furs.
Also he's not a monstrosity, it's kinda cute.

Yes, yes aaaand yes! :3 When it comes to those taking the piss I just laugh at them and continue flaunting furriness just to make them angry or if they think of me as a sick person for indulging in dodgy sex acts or zoophilia (the kind of thing that disgusts me) I facedesk and explain what I am as a furry - just a guy who likes his little 'sona, no more, no less. :eek:

I'm glad you like it! I'm contemplating commissioning some artists to do more drawings with it after a lot of misfortune with not being able to enter contests or being turned down by those offering freebies due to not having enough "references." This is the only other drawing I have, sadly. I still like it, though.

I feel like a young kid when I go to college now. Dinosaur class FTW :D

FFFF- I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was little :( I never, ever had a dinosaur class. However, I owned several encyclopedias.

That's the spirit!

That's... silly. Ask them to draw a fursona because you have a lack of reference pictures of it; And they ask for reference pictures... That's... quite a loop there.
Also it's a good drawing. Like any other artist and image, it has room for improvement; But what was that drawn with? It looks so fuzzy that its an interesting style.

Who needs encylopedia's when you could collect the weekly magazines that gave out a few bone pieces that glow in the dark; To collect them all to make the whole dinosaur! /gg

Part of our grade is even scraping out fish fossils from lake sediment.
Ew.

That's furries for you. :rolleyes:

Glad you like it! I'm really trying to improve. :[

Well, it was drawn in Gimp. It was ages ago so I don't remember fully how I did it, but if it's any helpful info I'm what they call a "furry" drawer. It doesn't relate to anthro characters in any way, but it means that I'm the kind of person who has trouble drawing perfectly straight lines and perfect curves, so for example, to make a "perfect" curve, I make loads of individual little penstrokes and the end result makes a "furry-looking" curve.

I suck at explaining.

Anyway, it's not a bad thing at all, but it kind of takes me away from certain drawing styles but naturally, I'm better at some others. I've found that my semi-realistic drawings come off better than my cartoon/manga drawings. Example. I assume that my "furry" style was inherited from my dad, and even my half-brother shares this (they're both amazing artists, IMO) Here's something my bro' did. If you look very closely, you can see the furry in the drawing and how he's smudged it to get rid of the stray lines.

He often inks over his work very carefully which helps get rid of the furry effect. (NSFW-ish)

Even if your drawing is fuzzy, that's your style. Plus, fuzzy style fursona... Why not? :p

That's the beauty of it! Still, like a tard, I've been trying to get into the cartoony style with very simple (although perfect) lines. But as you know, I suck with lines. Every style has always seemed so much harder than the other to me, but now I think of it, it's all down to the person... Just like picking perks in KF. :p

That's the joys of computer programs! You can redo that one line forever and ever... On paper you'd eventually tear a hole in it.

You can always try for Pixel Art. Draw the basic line and then use the mouse to clean and adjust the lines. The guy who does this comic has an OCD for straight lines, he said so himself - And I think that art's good too o:

The monstrosity that is my signature pic is my fursona who holds an expression of curiosity, optimism and happiness despite being thrust into a dark grey world that is these forums and its layout. "Fantastic" is a reference to my old sig pic and avatar and also speaks with appreciation and positive thoughts.

I actually really liked the old avatar. The one with the frog wearing the monocle ... it was pretty much awesome, tbh.

Yep, I take an occasional shot at the mangy looking coyote when I'm bored. :D

And yeah, the internet hates furries. This is why:

"I like anime cat girls! That's what this is like... Right?"
"Life is a Carnival of Pain... they understand that."
"I liek 2 talk wif ppl on teh net!!!!!!111111"
"Someday science will make me more like an--"
"I'm a pervert and I needed somewhere to go"
"I've seen Robin Hood like a Gajillion times!"
"I wanna get laid, gender- Is unimportant!"
"I have this constant need to argue with others!"
"I'm here for the art."
"I'm here for the porn."
"I'm here for the porn too."
"I'm here to sell those guys porn."


All of these ones can apply to your average person.
Oh my that is quite a lot. Heaven forbid should no one hate the people who aren't like that because they aren't furs.
