I don't understand the fetish and most of it is filled with shit art and massive autism, but there's a few good things out there too.
Mostly Disney fanart because the base characters are already well-designed, but I'm sure there are at least a few good artists that know how to pull it off. All I know that furries pay out the ass for their degenerate fetishes.

Like all boards on this neckbeard website, if its considered stupid/gay/different. They will attack furry art, like attacking anime or anything that isn't whatever the fuck social norms this community thinks is normal. Which is nothing.

I personally don't understand the hate towards furries. It's just a childish thing to attack something that has ZERO affect on you or anyone else.

I been following the furry art stuff since 1995. I didn't see what the big deal was when more and more losers started to attack it. I'm assuming cause of the sexual art or the 5 or 6 loud mouths who fuck their dog or fucking inn there fur costumes getting media attention.

( Not like weebos and other nerd groups don't draw porn, fuck in various clothing or gear. )

But it's easy to attack furries cause most won't attack back. ( The smart ones anyway. ) So since people are mindless zombies that server their masters and chose not to think for themselves. They attack, attack and attack. Their pathetic excuse of a life is so meaningless they attack a group of people just having fun, creating shit to artwork that puts most too shame. ( Like any other art community. )

Sex, porn whatever. Is more common than most these slaves will admit too. Who gives a fuck. Except for the no lifers being followers and not leaders and thinking for themselves. It's basically that.

If furries where left alone, cause another group showed up ( And likely will. ) You will see these nobodies go attack and cry and shit their pants over whatever next "it's cool to attack this" fad. And that's just how it will always be.

---

TL;DR Furry art easily exceeds most of the 24/7 cry babies on /ic/ Cause they hate themselves so much. They fall into the "I can't think for myself so I'll follow the masses over the cliff types."

There's plenty of amazing art communities and genres. Furries is merely one of them. ( Though hated more vocally. Stupid people. )

I think you belong to a minority with that definition and for your own good you should be aware of that in case you someday want to share a passion for non-sexual anthropomorphic character designs.

"furry" generally provokes some hostile responses and it's not because people dislike anthropomorphic characters.

It sounds like some furry who have tried to do some damage control with that redefinition.

Sad truth. You can't draw / create anthropomorphic characters without some insecure little keyboard warrior attacking you from the safety of the internet.

I've told plenty of people ( when it was asked or brought out. Which is rare. ) About being into "Furry" art. Not one said shit too me if they didn't like it. Most don't know what it is and like most things in life. Don't care.

I value a clean organized home, good credit and reading at least one book a week. But. I don't go around slamming those personal ideals into peoples faces 24/7.

"Furries" tend to push their shit around ( some times anyway. ) Since no lifers and pathetic people who have nothing worth while to do but boil their inner butthurt to nuclear levels waste away online. They will attack. But none of them would do shit in person. People are cowardly unless its behind a wall of like minded stupidity. Much like how black people will gang up on one white / none white person. ( knock out games and other ape behavior. ) It's basically like that.

I don't know what else too say. /ic/ is shit when it comes to anything but talking about none important popular porn artist.

i mean, as someone who for all intents and purposes is probably considered part of the "furry fandom" that's what the majority of "us" consider the term to mean, and at no point did i exclude the sexualized aspects, merely i intended to expand the rectangle you drew, but then again the complexities of ingroup vs outgroup in this relation is daunting

also
>"furry" generally provokes some hostile responses and it's not because people dislike anthropomorphic characters.
only in people who drink the chan culture kool-aid, pretty much everyone else in the world either has no idea what it means or even if they see it only as a weird fetish thing responds with an "oh, okay" cause they're an adult, not that i bring it up at all in social groups i don't know cause either they're well meaning yet ask tons of dumb questions or worse there's one person who's unironically anti-furry and makes everyone else in the group uncomfortable cause they won't drop it

I consider myself a furry because I like anthro characters, sexual themes or otherwise.

No you are right in that most people probably don't care but wrong in that the "4chan" definition shouldn't be the generally accepted one among those who don't care since they should at least had come across it a few times. If we look at 4chan the /b/ and /pol/ gets the most traffic by far.

An American documentary I saw a few years ago about an encounter between a football team and a furry convention at a convention center also comes to mind.

It doesn't bother me at all what people do. If I saw someone dressed as a furry, I'd probably just appreciate the color/surprise it added to my day. In art, I don't care at all what the subject of one's work is. If it's unskilled, it won't really register with me, but if it's made with skill, I'd appreciate it, whether it's a tree or furry porn. I've known furries who were very educated people, and brilliant painters of realism. I've also known friendly people who drew furries with skill levels from all over the spectrum. So pretty much to me, they're just people, and their art's just art, to be judged on its own merits.

I shouldn't need to. It's obvious I'm talking about the majority of the traffic. Now you are just being pedantic.

Nobody cares if it is complex. Well at least not the ones who have only encountered the word associated with images that grossed them out. Feel free to feel persecuted/misunderstood though but I doubt that's gonna lead to anything productive.

I described the documentary. That should be enough if you really cared. I don't. I mean I can literally not be arsed to google it because it is not relevant for the argument.

also no, you didn't describe what happened in the doc at least not in any useful way, you said football team meets furries without any elaboration upon what happens after that point as if i should fill it in with whatever preconceived notions i want to shove in there

The porn creeps me out sometimes but it honestly depends on the artist no matter what you're talking about.

If the art style is nice, I'll probably like anything they draw even cringey fetish things.
I even like some people who make fursuits for a living because I mean, objectively, the effort and crazy amount of work they put into them does often make for some really neat suits. But I get creeped out when I find out someone's fucked in that particular suit or the person i'm following has.

I try to separate the art from the community since any community can have a shitty side (I mean deviantart has some amazing artists on it but it has a reputation for being teenybopper city yknow?

That said I used to draw on there in high school, used to get at least $20 a month drawing for furries (I wasn't very good so im grateful for the ones who did buy from me) and met some nice people.

But I also met a lot of people who only had sex on the mind even if i was drawing something cute or completely void of sex and after an ex got really into my furry art while we were dating I kinda stopped finding a lot of charm in it.

I'd probably still draw em for money.

I used to have a more personal gudge towards furries because as a teen I was among the communities that drew cartoony canine characters and stuff (wolfaboos?) which rubbed up against the furry community on DeviantArt a lot. I didn't like the human form or drawing it so wasn't a fan of anthropomorphic characters. Had to put up with the hordes of obnoxious balto-styled furry characters that were often sexualised. I'm also a bit of a nerd when it comes to animals so I found it personally offensive to learn that NONE of them seem to know dick about the animals they draw. And the ANATOMY. Seriously, if you're going to have a biped version of a quadruped, WHY just slap its head on a human body? Surely if they evolved to be bipedal they would not look exactly the same as humans?? SURELY a bird would not have breasts????
(i'm talking mostly those that are trying to be more realistic than looney tunes-tier silliness)

Seriously though, why always the balto-like art styles? Why always the sameface red fox character with nearly the same markings as all the others sameface red fox characters? Where are all the cool and creative animal hybrids and character types?

As for fursuits... I can appreciate some.

If it is meant to be sexualised, there needs to be a good ballance of human features, otherwise it will lose appeal and go into zoosexual territory.

Furry is just a subject matter for art, and like any other subject matter can have its fair share of bad art, aswell as good whether its pornographic or not. The thing that makes furry looked down upon is usually the community and long standing memes of disapproval. At the end of the day its hust art, and people who draw the subject matter, usually also draw nudity and sometimes porn of it (not unlike anything else that gets drawn). The real issue are the people who are obscenely offended over the mere mention and existence of it, and the people who forcibly shove it into others faces. I don't think Ive seen furry art spammed/used trollingly on this board in forever, and yet you'll still see the occasional "burn in hell furfag" or "kys" if somethings posted, despite no provocation to cause such a reaction.

>>2879025

Eh, furry art like anything else really only gets commission traffic if youre willing to do nsfw, or youre incredibly good. I don't ever think Ive seen someone who's doing furry art just for the money, you have to have actual interest or else it will show that you don't know what makes it appealing.

What some folks gotta realize is that it's a subject matter. Sure, there's the whole commission/YCH/comic culture to it, but just like animu, or cars, or merc wips, furry art is something that some folks like and think is so bomb, they want to draw it too.

Wanting to draw cute furries was the whole reason I picked up art.

Porn aside, I am finding it fun and am glad I picked up a creative hobby.

Sorry to hijack thread, but I was wondering about this.

I need to make $1000 by June. Do yall think it would be possible to do it with furry commissions as an absolute nobody if I made myself available to draw the most depraved shit possible (barring illegalities)? How do you guerilla advertise, make shit-tons of money, then drop off the face of the earth in 3 months? As a follow-up, would I have to declare any of these earnings on my taxes? Just wondering.

Uhhhhh as far as 'guerilla advertising,' you could try and throw your art on the following: FurAffinity, Weasly, Inkbunny, Tumblr, and maybe posting in some /fur threads on /b/, which believe it or not, has gotten me commissions.

Here's the hard part, anon. If you're not known, you'd need to get known. Spamming art on any of these places is the norm for everybody, so it comes down to you standing out with quality. Knowing your fundies is cool and all, but tbqh, furfags don't care. Make the best sparkledogs/massive tit traps/loli fuckers that you can, and have them reasonably priced. (Say like $30 for a flat color without bg.)

If you fuck around and make fanart of whatever is popular rn, so STILL Overwatch, For Honor, Marvel shit, whatever's good in pop culture, I can guarantee folks on Tumblr will look at your blog. But you run the risk of.... being on Tumblr, where drama is a very normal thing.

Fetishes that don't normally get drawn/drawn well definitely go for higher prices, but with very niche, usually autistic fucks that are gonna want you to redraw the piece n+2 times. Do it well, and you'd be the go-to artist for vore/expansion/inflation/whatever in the hell you fell comfortable with.

No you don't put this shit on your taxes, you're making money off a hobby for 3 months, not being freelance.

Hope this gives you an idea.

They're probably good because they wanted to draw furry. There is no "powers for good", art is art. That's the same as calling out an amazing anime artist for their subject, if they weren't drawing what they wanted, they wouldn't be drawing at all.

I don't like a lot of the furry style that seems common in the community, the sort of Disney-esque style I suppose you could call it? But anthro art can be good, if done right.

I tend to prefer anthro type art to look largely human, with a few animal type features though, instead of the cartoony animal heads on human bodies style the community likes.

I suppose a good example for me would be the Galra in the new Voltron series. Technically, it's xeno, but they do the sort of animal features right to me. They give them ears, and fur or other aspects, but the proportions are very human-like overall.

I like anthropomorphic animals. There are artists, some identified as furries, that I found inspirational. I'm not a furry though, not really interested. I'm not opposed to it in animation. I've always felt the disney type wide/slanted eyes like OP look best with drawings intended to be, I don't know, actual animals since it's hard to convey expression in an animal's face.

Furries and anthropomorphic animals aren't the same as drawing an animal or creature. Even Disney's Robin Hood doesn't use that particular eye shape. I think that's why stuff like >>2881785 holds more appeal because it too has a more human eye shape.

White collar workers, especially those who work in software development or most STEM fields, give it a pass. But those are the same places that have bronies, furfags, and anime fans as employees. There's no normie who collects fantasy cards or several issues of comics, they're geeks. Nothing wrong with that.

From what I noticed, law enforcement or any type of blue collar worker might think that geek culture is silly as it's not mostly grounded in reality. They do give a pass to IPs like The Terminator, but they think that IPs DnD and Ghost in the Shell are dorky. They're into grounded media involving sports, gun culture, or mma.

Damn it, it's you again.

Part of the plague of the fandom is the YCH - the 'your character here.' They are lazy, stupid bases already set in a pose that you say, "hey, pay me money to complete this with your character drawn in it!"

If you're popular, you'll sell these. If you're not, you wont.

Another goddamn destructive piece of fandom are adoptables. Basically, throw 4 or more recolored one-off flats, or if you'd like some variety, different species on a canvas and say6, "hey, see these? Buy these!"

If you're popular, it'll sell. If you're not, they won't.

How do I get followers though (besides 'git gud', and furthermore, how good is 'gud' enough)? My tumblr strategy has been entirely unsuccessful and my furaffinity run has only been marginally better (a couple of watchers and a handful of favs, only 50-60 views on the better of my pieces (which is pathetic)). I guess I'll start branching out into inkbunny and the other ones mentioned above, but due to my limited (read: non-NEET) time available, I want to optimally use my drawing time to amass followers as quickly as possible and get selling quickly as well.

Post what you've put up, you fag.

You get followers by whoring.
Make fanart of popular stuff, like I told you last time, and here's a new strat: you see those popular characters? Like Zoe, or Artica, or whoever else? Put some real work into something that stands out as a good piece, then send it to their artists/owners and call it gift art. You're piece will end up being seen by the shit ton of followers on those accounts, and if you indeed got the git gud, you'll get some kickback.

Draw Krystal, or Renamon, or pinup Pokemon, or whatever you fancy. If it's popular, use it as a subject to make a cool looking piece/smut that's worth a damn.

As for speed, you have to post OFTEN. Hell, on tumblr, post what you're sketching. I know plenty of folks that have a decent camera on their phone and just snap something and post it.

My way is not for the weak willed. But. I'm not interested in making cash, as I'm set for many lives, sucks I only live one.

( Believe it or don't. )

Anyway. I am in the process of making several animated hand-drawn and 3D animated cartoons. All sexual in natures, cause why would I draw boring PG-13 shit?

Also making several comics, characters I hope will appeal to people to want to watch, which in-turn will lead to comics, animations what have you.

One day, I will just flood FA and other sites with all these things. And wait and see what happens. If it fails, I don't honestly care. But the last time I saw waves of characters, comics appear on other furry websites now gone. Some of them became very popular and still are. From Max Black Rabbit, Meesh, Wolfy-Nail to others who didn't hold onto the popular train as they made art they enjoyed and didn't sell out making pony trash and latest fad shit.

That all seems to work. But. Question is your patience. Clearly, you gave none expecting 200840593 artist over a few shitty drawings you've made.

Good luck.

Hmm. Care to show some of your not furry work? You could totally post non-furry art on FA. Try posting some of your usual polished work to show what you can do.

Also as an odd critique, I notice that the head and faces seem to have a much more cartoony look than the rather well constructed anatomy.
My advice would be to either simplify and cartoonify the bodies, or tinker with the heads to match.
Just my 2 cents, take it with a grain of salt.

Yeah, the faces are quite different from the bodies I guess. My stylization of bodies is not exactly top-notch, so I'll have to work on that.

As far as non-furry/polished stuff, mostly everything I've done in the past few years (that's on this computer) hasn't been rendered or polished much at all since I usually burn out by that stage in the drawing. It's just something I'll have to work at.

Well your sense of anatomy is pretty great in my opinion.
If you have trouble stylizing it, then I would recommend practicing with anthropomorphic faces until you find a style that meshes well with the body.
You could try using more animalistic features to match the more realistic anatomy. If that feels weird, (it probably will), then experimenting with non sexualized images, highlighting the more savage appeal of the fandom. There are a lot of them that just like the badass wolfman type characters.
Again, I'm just throwing out ideas, I might be wrong so do with it what you will.

I draw anthromorphs as part of my webcomic. I don't get the sexual attraction to them,and the people in my world generally don't either,and its considered weird and off putting by the bulk of the population,although you get relationships that transcend the species boundaries.

Once at a sci fi convention,I saw a Furry Fandom party advertised,so I dragged my sketchbooks there in the hopes of interacting with fellow artists. And after looking around,I dragged my ass right out again! Everyone thete,and it was Everyone who was drawing anything was doing furry porn as if tits were part of an arms race. Too embarassing.

You're not going to get a following with this stuff simply because it's just bland and bad art, in all directions. No real style, subject matter/situations are uninspired, knowledge of anatomy, structure, forms, proportion, are off and boring.

If you want to amass a following, get good. Study people who are good, read books, learn anatomy, and draw well first, and then when you can draw something that looks competent then people will follow you. Until then nobody wants this stuff. I'm not trying to be mean, just real. "Pandering to furries" still requires you to be good with general drawing principals and you're not. There's people years beyond you in skill that don't even amass that much of a following.

tl;dr, you're not going to get commissions or followers if you're a bad uninspired artist. Do stuff you like and pick some interesting subject matters/settings. Put effort in and render and such. Be intelligent when drawing, don't just chickenscratch shit.

I enjoy drawing and viewing anthropomorphic art, particularly from a character design front. I think it opens up a lot of variation in that area.

Pic related was a commission, I don't consider myself a good artist yet but if I focused on this stuff I might just be able to cover rent at some point. Even as a mediocre artist I get commissions as soon as I open them, it's fairly easy money.

If you're fapping to anything fake it's no different them fapping to something specific that's fake. Same thing goes for drawing things that don't exist (some are better than others both in quality and subject matter).
Having a desire to go in a fursuit to a con is honestly no different than going to a comic con dressed as your favorite superhero or an anime con dressed as your waifu. The only difference is that one fandom appeals to a broader audience and more children more so people tend to overlook their bad rep...because they're part of it in some way.
That and for some reason humans have a soft spot for animals so there is a massive misunderstanding of context and people automatically assume that a sexualized human like animal is bestiality. The furry community is every single fandoms fallguy, even bronies think that they're above them when in actuality it's all the same crap.

I often draw furry art. Often I just find the different forms more appealing than drawing human after human.

One of the common criticisms of furry art is the number of wolf characters out there. Everybody's OC is a wolf. When they draw other animals, they end up looking like wolves, etc. There's a clear lack of originality.

I've yet to read or hear a rational and well explained point on why it's cool or funny to mock / insult or attack the furry community. Especially, as a whole.

The common low IQ post are: kys / fur fag / git gud / loser / virgin / animal fucker / cause it's gay / cause it's zooshit / all artist suck / cause everyone else says it, so I follow the "normal," meme, think as a mass, not for myself types.

All of which are simply baseless, broad scoping one group, with immature pathetic attacks and insults.

The positives from my own point of view is: Creative Community ( Drawing / 3D Modeling / 2D animation / Writing / Music Creation / Sculpting / Costume Making / Social Interactions around cartoon animal people. With plenty of acceptable porn that if otherwise replaced with boring ass humans instead of ( more often than not ) creative creatures, ignoring sparkle dogs and wolves everywhere. No one really has any argument.

Bandwagon hate, is as stupid as politics DESU. Grow up and do something besides cry on a random image porn website 24/7.

In here we got some furfags who are getting their knots in the wrong losing their shit because somebody disagree with that "furry" should include anybody who have enjoyed entertainment or art with anthropomorphic characters and not just cover sexual deviants. Despite the fact that the only ones who identify as furries do so with a base in something sexual. Fuck, it's a community you only seek out if you got those sexual fetishes in the first place.

Ironically as the furfag above have partly noticed, the word "furry" wouldn't even be known to normal people if it wasn't for all the negative drama they cause.

Most of the time you see hate towards furfags it has been triggered by the furfags own behavior.

Fuck, at this point /pol/ hate furries more than pedophiles, judging by the backlashes.

I'm pretty sure that the majority of the people you would identify as furries then wouldn't want to be associated with the word. Words are defined by their usage. Not by some furfag autist who want to redefine one to counter some negative press. That's also why the definitions in dictionaries change yearly based on word usage.

A lot of them do it because you chew bait easily. I get that you hate inaccurate generalizations and assumptions aimed at you, everyone does. It's why /b/ and /pol/ has contempt towards journalists and federal agents.

However, this is not the type of community that you should expect respect from. Even if people sincerely hate or annoyed by you, you won't gain their respect regardless of what you do.

Well that's true. Things just get weirder when we are dealing with people who majorly finds discomfort in the human body and idealize anthropomorphic features that might creep others out. It's on the level where some are just instinctively turned off (Like it is the case with other sexual fetishes). The furfags who want to try and normalize their fetish is really ruining it for the rest of them and themselves by extension as furfags who know how to interact normally and might even have social lives that depend on it don't want to be associated with the community.

I'de be hard pressed to find a single furry artist of any respectable caliber that's not into it. Like any other job it gets tiring or regrettable, but they love it. Nobody just does this stuff for the money, if that was the case there's easier ways to do such things, even with art if you're at a good enough skill level.

>>2897923

>davinci-tier

Lol. I think people forget when opening up a patreon or trying to get a following that subject matter is important, almost moreso than quality. If you're just doing high quality renders, sure they show technical skill but general people who would be willing to send money gain nothing from your work. Nobody wants that shit, they want comics, or art that evokes emotion or they recognize, not your life studies.

Furry art on the other hand outright has a subject matter, and pertains to attracting a certain group, so it makes up for alot. That being said I'de be surprised to find a furry artist making even close to that amount without a semblance of quality or style.

Your linework isn't tight in the slightest. If you're not drawing on a bigger canvas, I recommend at the bare minimum 2100x3200 type shit, at 600dpi. Your pen width for lineart should be around 4-5 for smaller lines, no more than 15-20 for heavier line weight.
Learn more fundies, perspective is something I'd recommend, just on the stuff you posted. Also anatomy that isn't as exaggerated should be your practice, then break from that to do a piece.
The style you have for faces is rudimentary, it's kinda maybe cute, but they don't stand out to me on a level that I would pay for, and I'm pretty layman. Spend some time doing iterative drawing of heads for various species, drawing different eye styles that you've seen by other artists, maybe other facial structures too. Get a feel for the stylistic choices made by those you want to emulate, and adapt it to how you want your style to be.
Other than that, learn how to do some actual painting, you can charge more. Additionally, cel shading is popular.
Thanks for posting, you're now maybe 40% on your way to making money.
One last thing, learn to make more than solo pieces, you can charge more per character.

Another thing, when you change colors on the fur, make it look more natural, as opposed to the 'MS paint look.' I see it all the time.

Take a brush, lower the opacity by 20%, smooth it into the fur it needs to be, not just sharp angles.

To help, do some texture studies/ref from your fav artists.

Not him, but why are you still even discussing? Your opinion is that furry is a term that only applies to deviancy correct? Although this is a demonstrably false statement. Furry is a blanket term that can fit for a multitude of media.

The negative stigma is purely from the same type of basis that gives people like Trekkies, and D&Ders back in the day their negative stigma. Media and trolls just going to perpetuate the same garbage whether true or not and dig up stuff from conventions and online forums for these groups and shove it where it doesn't belong. Obviously it's going to be cringe to see the more heavily obsessed fans, but they're not doing it for your approval. These groups are ultimately harmless, keep to themselves, and none of them deserve demonizing. I'm not even fully disagreeing with your statements either, dislike what you want, just don't attribute the notion of hate to the groups provocation, anytime I ever see cringe furry shit it's usually someone who's not a furry linking stuff from someones youtube, FA, DA or some account, not the creator themselves.

If you are smart then you should be able to deduct why I replied just by reading the exchanges. I'm not going to analyze it for you.

Furfags are never going to lose their stigma and I don't think Trekkies and D&D had anything that compare (At least outside some religious communities). The area it cover is just too extreme for that. Even if it should happen that it gained popularity through some prime time tv show exposure and started attracting people who just like the aesthetic of some of the art then a new term would be made to describe those most today refer to as furries.

Closed communities tend to influence each others behavior and fans like that tend to become fanatical when isolated. Sure, there may have been furries in the past but the internet have really let some of them isolate themselves into the furry world, like it's the case with other subgroups.

Eh, probably not, at least not anytime soon. Like >>2898518 said, the furry community can be pretty bad, and usually you only get to meet people who are worth talking to or not awful if they're some form of artist or creator, even if it's porn.

I don't think the term would change though. I'de imagine even if it became mainstream in some fashion it would still be called "furry", but that's an entirely different subject.
