Christ every con looks the same. But I don't think I've been to this one.

I would add that we're hyper-saturated in politics basically everywhere on social media, particularly if you're American in the last 5 years. Probably worse if you aren't, given that any American-based site (e.g. IMGUR) was just endless posts about how bad a certain person was who wasn't even...

I vary between 4 different styles in my art. Looking to get some opinions on which comes off that most interesting. And feedback in general.

On the left:

You know, given how many of them are 20 versions of the same body with different markings, I questioned the same thing. Ooh, brown deer, brown deer with tan highlights, brown deer with white highlights... So many of them aren't unique enough from existing characters to seem worth it. However, I...

I opened an active FA account (in place of an old lurker) and started posting in March. In December I went "I should probably join the forums."

No problem. It was faster to do that than try to describe it

Very quick paintover.

So, anatomy-wise and all that, it's stylized, but good. You don't have issues there. Color (minus the shadows) is good, the dress and fur work well. Shading wise - tinted shadows do help, as others have said. Shadows are opposite the color of the light - warm light, cold shadows. However, even...

*Half asses a piece for the helluva it* - tons of views *Carefully follows every convention of good art and puts in real effort* - crickets I don't understand either.

I started hoping to make real money on commissions, but I realized that there was a lot of effort in terms of advertising and getting seen involved in that. Some folks seem to get lucky and get a following overnight. I didn't, and when I couldn't bring myself to dive into the marketing aspect...

So, I'll trawl people's pages and find the artists that thank for favs and look at their pages. Not so much to get the thanks myself, but it says "active artist" who's page probably is worth looking at. I'll also check folks favs and find things I like there.

Gonna be honest here - I think most people just pick their favorite animal and retcon fancy reasons to it.

One thing that's come up in this is a strong reminder of internet culture from the 2000's. I remember encyclopedia dramatica, 4Chan still being dark and mysterious, and many other forums where being banned for literally no reason was kind of just expected. The culture commented about here was...

As an evolution of my post, to anyone considering if they should post politics, here's a guideline: 1. Is this view unique, or are you parroting what everyone else is saying - If yes - don't post, you're not adding to the conversation (here's a hint, if it's a picture with a single sentence...

TBH, how much it bugs me is entirely dependent on what's the message, how is it presented, and why are they posting. Given that it's the furry community, I just expect LGBT stuff. It's certainly political, but at the same point it's "on brand" political and just goes with the territory. However...

Coloring often ends up similar to the crow up there, given that I'm a black panther. Red, black, gold. So, we're both guilty of overusing it. Other combinations include black and purple or purple and gold. Occasionally some blue. I think my least common color is green.

You can keep the overall length the same, so it's the same number of frames. Just move less in that time so it ends up slower. Basically, a figure 8, pop to the middle and one.
