A big Manchester fur-meet/party next month. I assume none of you will be there (Still undecided if I will or not)

It's okay. It was just a flesh wound. I'm alive and well

 

[Emitan]

Yeah I guess something to keep in mind is he did all the art by himself. Even if the art style is grating there was a ton of work involved.

you should go and also convince cheezmo to go too.

Yeah, that's incredibly impressive if so.

I was fine with the character design in Dust. Not too many stand-outs, except for Dust himself and a few others, but nothing bad.

- The NPC designs, both townsfolk and story characters, seem to suffer from the legacy of mid- 90s anthro animal comic and PC game art. Jazz Jackrabbit stuff. The style became the basis of a ton of furry fandom art, in the same way Sonic comics became the stock standard art style for Sonic fandom.

The affected characters are as well drawn in the style, but it's not a very appealing style for many/most. It doesn't help the game in general as it evokes mainstream stereotypes of "furry internet art".

To be fair, the creator of the game was the main artist back in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, so it's not like he chose the style just because of how prevalent it is. That's his style.

Yeah, I recall him working on it. Just pointing out that it's become a pretty stereotypical look. For a lot of people it seems to be the Dragonball Z of anthro art.

That's true. I just find that complaining about how common the style is against this game is like complaining about how Toriyama's drawings all look like Dragonball.

Speaking of furry games, this was just greenlit. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=118625631

Mixed feelings on most of the art. The crow looks cool though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Looks kinda eh...?

Same with the furry fighting game thingy

Maybe because Western style doesn't really catch me on save for a few.

And MONSTER is better looking.

Music by F. Amoore? Almost reason enough to be interested for me. His collabs with [artistwhosenameIdon'tremembernow] were amazing.

But ya, the art is sort of.. hit and miss, by the looks of it.

Pixiv is dangerous now. Combine the new "Suggested Users" page and a Feed page that tracks the new bookmarks and follows of those on your own follow list, and you can slip into a tvtropes-level website vortex.

Japanese fursuits are cool and creepy

I want a nice replica of the Doggie suit though, but I bet Toei is keeping it

Hahha so that's what it was for

 

[Hitokage]

That suit looks kind of like a Liki drawing.

Painted a bear last night. Not overly happy with it, but there it is:

Something quick I did earlier today:

 

[Hitokage]

So catching up on certain goings on has reminded me of the recent FGC drama where it was concluded that being better at fighting games means being worse at life

Some artists aren't too good at managing the business side of it.

wait what drama

and are furries who take commissions as a hobby and not as the only source of income a rarity?

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

Awesome stuff, Miktar.

Oh, just noticing some FA bans after the fact. Namely, Falvie and Chevi.

No, read my post again. Something got horribly lost along the way.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ahh I see, I thought it was two related events lol

 

[shysaursoft]

I'd say there are more who do art as a hobby, than as their primary source of income. Those that can actually turn commissions into their primary work, are very rare. For example, I doubt I'd ever be able to turn my art into something that supports me.

Awesome stuff, Miktar.

Today's painting practice. I'm trying to do one a day, in the misguided hope that somehow I'll improve:

Looking good! Though it seems like the tail is going through the back of the chair (is there a hole for it like Sully's chair in Monsters Inc?).

I guess I wasn't really thinking much about anatomy or the logistics of it when painting, I was just trying to figure out how to represent 'volume'. The painting started off as a grey slab and I pushed/pulled shapes out of it by painting lighter or darker. Not too sure if I'll do it that way again.

Yesterday's doodle, drawn while watching way too much Daria late at night. I'm trying to make it a point of doing at least one piece a day, no matter how inane.

Something I did for a friend today to cheer them up:

And this photography project by Klaus Pichler was interesting:

Last piece you'll post? Like hell that's going to happen! Link your art sites so we can post your stuff all over the thread!

 

[Gattuso]

I no longer feel any sense of sadness anymore. I don't have a reason to hang around you guys any further.

 

[jgminto]

Dude, don't be like that. We enjoy talking to you.

 

[Gattuso]

Don't jgminto, I can still enjoy having you guys make another channel if I want to not that it would do much. I'll just search for somewhere else to have my chance as long as it takes. I'm sorry I could never get it past me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Neat

I don't really post my art anywhere, and tend to delete any tumblrs I create after a few months anyway.

It took me a while to work out that he was sitting cross-legged lol. It looked like an odd optical illusion.

I made the same promise to myself. Then I checked my gallery and remembered it had been like 10 months since I drew something last. s_s
