I dislike humanized animals the most

Yet you like Garfield. :roll:

The problem with "furries" is not the artwork, but the concept itself. Quoting the world wide internerd...

A "Furry" in its most base definition is a funny animal taken seriously. Most people who enjoy furries reference Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny as their first Furry encounter, showing it is less about art and more about strange animals. However, furries don't exist in real life, so the only place to truly accept and revel in their love for animals is in animation, where time and space is suspended for that one nice piece of tail to laugh and giggle and give you that "come hither" look. This is where Anime comes into play for the Furry, as there is no more acceptable forum to express your fantasmical imagi-nation for the greater good of a fetish.

Now, that's the basic meaning of the word Furry. However, it means much more than that, as it describes an entire subculture of artwork. Furthermore, please do not confuse Furry with a Furry-Lover. Yeah, there's a difference. Furry-Lovers are the people who enjoy Furry Art. These people are the BETTER of the two terms. Why? Furry, when used as a noun or adjective, is denoting someone who actually believes they are an animal in some way, shape, or form. They're the ones who consider having plastic surgery to get ears and a tail, or whatever. They run around on their forums and explain how they were a cat in a past life or just like fucking their own dog(!!).

...and then most of the furry fandom ARE Furry-Lovers that use costumes and draw furry crap among other things. And talking about the drawings, EVERY, and I really mean EVERY and ALL styles reduces to the same, stagnant and bastardized Disney-esque style, that's it, and for short: every "furry artist" ends drawing the same thing, in the same pose, the same style and (almost) the same character (re-read what Jofers said and you might understand what's my point). And then you see



and you end giving up all hope on humanity.

About the sketches, yes, these are fine examples of your drawing abilities indeed, but I'll pray to God in his heaven and Satan in his hell to help you avoid the "paws" of "furryness".

Abstract of this: Great arwork. Don't become a "furry", though.

hahaha. heavens no! I'm nothing like those *AC freaks =P I just enjoy this style of art. as for it all being the same, thats one persons opinion, not the truth. although my art is a very good example of a generic furry picture, that doesn't mean thats the only style i have for this type of art.

i infact visit a site (happens to be the largest furry fandom base) where i'm in a minority that doesn't dress up in a suit and lose all touch with reality. I just enjoy drawing furries


*AC = AnthroCon, big convention somewhere where all the freaks dress up as animals and hump each other :barf:

Garfield aint exactly humanised

I would consider Nathan is meaning more like a animal with a human's body.

[na_th_an]

Exactly, that's what I mean Your na_th_an to english kung fu is getting strong!

There's no why, I guess it has to do with what you like and dislike But I still think that it is a great artwork.
