YEEEEEEEEEEHAWW!!

I don’t know that the “FURRY DIED” jokes are appropriate, the reason he died is actually pretty horrific. He either had a rare infection or lung cancer, apparently the worst his doctors had seen, and he just couldn’t get the help he needed as bills piled up. Was up coughing for hours and might have passed alone.


Yuck! IDK if I have time to draw all that.

I don't know about you all but I haven't been in the mood to do anything lately, be it gaming or drawing. I wish I could pinpoint the exact reason why but can't think of anything.

What really constitutes as "sameface" or "samebody" or whatever else? The way I'm seeing it, and I should be seeing this differently, is that if two characters have as much as a single trait in common, it's by definite sameface/samebody/same exact character. How do you fix this mentality and know for sure when something is being repeated?

You really just gotta sit down and create some design rules for your recurring characters. Eye, nose and mouth shapes can vary significantly without breaking a single unifying style, so if you're just consistent giving one character stuff like bigger tear ducts, flatter lips, a more visible nose bridge, etc. that other characters don't share, you'll avoid any justified accusations. Having those rules will make you more mindful of how many ways there are to draw any given feature, and you'll likely not accidentally give two characters the same face often.


A good test of this is to draw your characters side by side in the same outfit and give them all buzz cuts. Is there enough to differentiate between them when their accessories, hairstyles and costumes aren't a factor?

For the record, when I opened up for the furry community, I found more easy going and acceptive friends, than in any other group, fandom, club etc. You know, people with a lot of passion for comics and animation and appreciation of creating entertainment over the course of many different eras. Whether it's SFW or NSFW, I could just chime in and enjoy the furry artists' fun quirky content, with that special emotional touch only anthropomorphic animal characters can really awaken. That's just my personal experience. And maybe I just got lucky enough not to come across any super toxic folks. But the whole idiotic stigma against furries is vastly fucking exaggerated, which leads to ad hominem attacks and amplification of hatred. Those who buy the furry hate are very narrow minded from what I can tell. A bit of snobbery and gatekeeping is invovled too. They don't realize the furry community, despite its common trait of "liking anthropomorphic animal characters" is really really diverse. At first I thought I didn't quite fit in, cause I was focusing on the side of the community/fandom that wasn't for me. But then I dug deeper, and found some artists who not only did very nice drawings, but also were very fun to talk to.


Furaffinity is a great platform actually, because of its razorsharp search engine, and anti-AI rules. They allow porn art, yeah, but it can be filtered out, just like on NG. Plus, with that advanced search engine you can exclude/include any keyword you want to find hidden gems that suit your tastes best.

I've had some negative experiences and have furry friends who've had negative experiences, but you are right that people's dislike can get unfair.

Well admitting is one step. The next would be to show some empathy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Negative experiences happen everywhere. And there is no special exclusive rule for the furry community.

Just gonna step in here to this largely resolved issue and say @anonymous-frog stop being an edgelord troll and commenting inflammatory shit on people discussing a person who died. In addition to that, @Czyszy stop feeding the edgelord troll with responses like that, ignoring them is always more effective.

This is a warning for both of you to chill on this sort of behavior, next time it pops up bans will be on the table.

Thank you, please resume regular lounge activities.
