Just because it says contest doesn't mean you have to aim to win to enter it...you can go in just to enjoy yourself...

You reckon the hundreds who join a marathon contest enter because they think they're good enough to win? I reckon most of 'em join cos it's more fun than staying home with the wife on a Saturday and being told to clean the yard...

Nah...contests can be fun as well...

Here's a painting I did my senior year of HS, but it the digital cam was a piece 'o crap, so sorry about the blurriness:

This was a self-portrait, again, piece 'o crap camera:

And this is a sculpture of one of my characters in his greyken form:

There's the whole gallery... but those ones are my favs.

Like a pie eating contest.

Okay...it's annoyed me long enough...what the hell is this big infatuation most people here seem to have with pies?

Probably subliminal invocation of that infamous scene in "American Pie"

I dunno. I don't like pie.

But when it comes to eating contests I immediately think of pie eating contests. And when I think of someone entering a contest that would be fun whether you win or loose, I think of a pie-eating contest.

Ahh! What the hell is it with furries? Why do people find half-human, half-animals sexually appealing?

I like http://www.deviantart.com/view/3498990/ the best, the lighting and shadow is really awesome.

The possession of Red Ring Rico by Dark Falz. That hi-contrast look was a signature style of mine for a while.

If people only drew/wrote/sang about/painted what they found sexually appealing, this would be a sad world indeed, and probably populated entirely by whoever writes and draws for DC and Marvel. Vince Suzukawa of The Class Menagerie provides a good list of reasons in his FAQ page as far as why he chose to use anthropomorphic animals in his comic; some of them are also the reasons I draw them myself.

F'r'example, most of the time, people look at my drawings of people and see maybe a few quirked eyebrows or whatnot, leaving them with no idea what emotion I'm trying to show. Compare that with a picture of a dog with crestfallen ears and tucked tail ... you get the idea. Plus, fur coloration and species are wonderful crutches for someone like me, who can't individualize faces worth crap (a reason why my four roommates who look like me will probably not get into NeTrek).

I've gotta stop rambling, darnit.

What Esoterik said. Furry-stuff is a style like any other one - manga, western, marvel...I could go on and on.

Come on, there's no need to be rude.

Well... I don't really do very much art these days. What time I have I waste reading other comics or drawing my own. What art does come out isn't all that much better than what I normally do - that is - Jhonen Vasquez-esque half-assed pencil sketches and doodles.

But here's a strip that I think turned out very well: complete with lots of shading and things!

An "Art"

Random, not V3-related, and left-handed.

AW, HELL NAW! This person wins.

Oddly enough I keep forgetting I'm apparently a furry comic.

SuperSnob · Post by **SuperSnob** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 8:52 am

And that, frenz, is why I don't draw furries anymore.

Er...oh crud...does THIS count? --->
