Well, hi..I just sorta logged in to this forum and stuff. I was sorta directed to the crushyiff destroy site a couple of weeks back by a friend, and Ive been sorta wandering around, reading and absorbing the info covered here, etc. Its pretty damn interesting stuff to read, about the deeper aspects of the fandom and stuff. But im sort of curious.. about a thing or two.

Im an practicing artist, Ive been doing so for about 4 years or so..Lately, I draw all kinds of stuff. I started off doing just about like most newb artists, anime and the likes to hone my skills...Yet after getting to college, just several months ago, I started drawing anthro art after seeing some girl's sketchbook. I sort of like to draw anthro art because to me, it somewhat is interesting to see what you can get from combining animal, human anatomy. Its been good practice, and has somewhat improved my anatomy skills in drawing. Plus, for the field Im entering, I know theres a need to be flexible in terms of what types of characters you can draw, animate, etc.

LAtely, Ive also been taking furry requests from people, and quite a couple, with different subject matter.

Yet...according to you people on the forum, does that make me a furry?

I've just been getting a strange feeling from the site articles that what Im drawing is supposed to automatically transform me into- some sort of social outcast.

No it doesn't, true furries to have tendency to try to drag everyone onto their side but drawing anthro's doesn't make you a furry, no-one can define you, only you can do that.

If you believe yourself to be furry well then you are, if you don't you aren't. Hope that helps ^_^

Thank you for clearing that up for me, nonetheless. However, I would somewhat like to know..what group of people actually established this site? There are so many conflicting views in several of the articles featured that at times, it gets a bit confusing to follow. I seem to read articles by former furry fans, furry, non furry. What exactly is the exact message this site is trying to deliver to the viewers? I mean, in a nutshell or so.

I have a general idea or two, but still...Its not that clear.

Okay, if you're a beginning artist, don't start doing porn. If you do, the same people who crave for more disrespect you and you eventually get tired and become a bitter fuck like I am.

Think about the options,
like elvis presley portraits...

I know where you can find the original pics of the dogs playing poker. If you're really interested on 'em, send me a mail via this system. :)

well if you mean one of the actual originals, I doubt I could afford it ,

but yeah, I would be interested in seeing it anyway , send me a message or whatever with the info, I'd like to check it out...

I looked up a little bit on it, cuz i really didnt know much, I guess the guy that originally did them in the early 1900's did numerous paintings like that - dog-people doing stuff

Cassius Marcellus Coolidge

It seems he's kind of like the dog-version of that Louis Wain (cats) guy
I think they are the same general time period also.

Perhaps, just perhaps, SLaitila, if you had cared to read what I posted instead of just putting a dumb fuck comment, you just might have understood that I had asked a question, not your 'funny' opinion about elvis and what I should draw and what I shouldnt...Its not up to you.

SO keep this instance in mind for the future, so you dont fuck up posts of people who are trying to be serious and rational with spurts of immature comments, k? :wink:

what are you getting so pissed off about?

what did you want to know that wasnt answered?

draw whatever the fuck you want, if you are not involved in the fandom then it really doesnt matter...if you want to be involved in the fandom then you had better have the personal integrity to do exactly what you want to do , and keep things in perspective - particularly since it seems you have some sort of career in art in mind. If you keep your stuff geared for a general audience - stuff that MOST people will understand then there is no problem

what message is the site trying to deliver?

im not a spokeperson for the site, but just as a wild shot in the dark ill say it is: "look at how fucked up all this is , now laugh"

the forums for whoever wants to post here, so theres all kinds of people here

Yes, you are a furry. Go ahead, sport, get yerself a vcl account, a really spiffy character name and be over-sensitive about things in general.

And, it's not up to anyone on this forum that you're a furry.

Stop defending yourself by throwing this furry shit talk at me. Let me put it in other words, you inserted yourself into my post with a pointless, stupid comment, which had nothing to do with what I was asking, shitbag. It was immature, and annoying, so I replied with an offensive comment that might have hurt your little feelings. So knock it off and just accept your own stupidity,k Slaitila?



-thats just dumb, dude..

Everyone(incliuding me) hates guys who fuck up posts like, example: YOu! The great Slaitila, who just might think his avatar is attractive:
"Think about the options,

-Thats just dumb, and annoying.

So please, just shut up.

A. That button you are only supposed to hit once, only hit it once.

B. It's called an opinion, if you can't take them DON'T ASK FOR THEM then.

C. Topic do wander of topic at times, if you're gonna be hyper sensative to that then maybe you are a furry, you've certainly got he hardcorer's attittude down.

D. If you've been reading and browsing this place for weeks and still haven't worked out what CYD is exactly, then you're never going to figure it out, we can only tell you what we think of this place as, and our opinions are just that opinion, think for yourself for once.

You wanna be a furry? keep going, you're already showing the right attitude for it :twisted:

..and to add to that, didnt really ask for an opinion whether to draw yiff or not. And to add to that....It seems that this site doesnt really deliver a clear message about anything...The articles have lead me in multiple directions. It seems that this site is only an 'anti-twink' library, and run by former furries and overly sensitive people who cant seem to be open minded about deviancy, so just resort to wierd, mislead rivers of flames and rants...Whats the point? You people end up being the ones who are over sensitive, without even saying anything. Just for being on here, frequenting this message board. Youve got a problem-do something about it. Too much bs.

Im not even one of them, and not planning to be. Im just a person, and a curious one. People can be sensitive, people can get pissed or annoyed. And they have the right to talk, say whatever the hell is on their mind.

huh..

Except when it involves Velvet Elvises? Since that seems to offend your refined sensibilities, O Great Pope of the Thread.

And that avatar isn't SLaitila's face as you seem to believe.

Did I say 'offended', or 'annoyed'? I think annoyed. Who the hell would be offended by such a stupid comment?

Neither do your stupid comments offend...O, Great New MEat.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Sometimes the internet can be very painful.

Maybe someone could make a movie about it. How painful the internet is.

Which reminds me that I need to get a velvet Elvis and one of dogs playing Twister. Probably more redeeming than a Winger original. Heck, a Chester the Molester cartoon from Hustler would be more redeeming than half of furry art.
