DA is not a community in the same way. It has so much less focus that it's more like several blocks in a city. Each section populated with its own little gang. I like to imagin something akin to the gangs in The Warriors. Theme gangs. All opposed to one another, but mantaining an uneasy peace. All wearing imaginative outfits.

On FA there are still factions, but they all have a through line. Kind of like a single gang that has fractured. The infighting slowly tearing the group apart.

There is so much human psychology in these places just waiting to have grant money thrown at it.

No one has been able to tell me at what point a person actually becomes a 'furry'. I've decided that it's when you build, or buy, yourself a suit and start 'living the dream'. Anyone outside of that is just a poser. Perhaps an enthusiast, but not fully comitted to the idea of being a 5 foot tall timberwolf centaur with purple fur and a 2 foot long cock.


Also, my subscription is expiring again soon. I offer up the same deal as before. If you want to pay for a new one I'll make you an art. I think the magic DA faries will tell me if you do. The what I won't draw rules will apply to whatever you might want, so keep that in mind.

I don't know what it is in me that makes it hard for me to seperate the artist and the art, but I generally can't. I started thinking about this because I was reading an article about a famous artist and they mentioned, in passing, that he was a massive bigot. As soon as that info proccessed his work looked different to me. It was tinged by knowledge... This shouldn't be taken as an argument against knowledge. For me it's just a precaution. I know that if I find certain things out about a creator I may end up having to trash shelves full of books, and years of fandom, from not being able to distinguish between an artist and his, or her, work.

It looks like the bulk of people who pay attention to my nonsense have no particular ill will towards furries. I think that's nice. From what I know of them they are, lke any group of people, alright for the most part. It's very trendy to hate them since you aren't allowed to hate many groups these days. When deprived of a target humans will never fail to find a new one to direct their ire towards.

No one had commented when I happened by, so I decided that couldn't be allowed to stand. Now, bound by the terms of the contract, I must do a feature journal as well. I have modified the terms of the agreement, pray I do not alter them further.

RULES:
1. Write a comment on this journal and I shall feature three pieces from your gallery.

2. You have to do a feature journal, as well (3 works). Featuring me to start with, and then the first 15 or so people who write a comment. I, however, will only feature the first 3 commenters. More may follow if I so choose, or have time. I promise nothing! I intend to give a brief explanation about my choices. Feel free to incorperate this into your own journal.

2) [link]
3) [link]

The why:
Her gallery is like a visual representation of her personality. Although I've only interacted with her via text I feel like I have a clear idea of who she is based on that alone. These 3 works showcase clear aspects of this friend of mine.

The why:
I know it's kind of a dick move to have fanart of my own character in this list, but it really is one of his strongest works. The thing looks like it could have been pulled right out of one of Marvel's attempts to get people to give a shit about the Fantastic Four, and c'mon, Kwijibo. I'm all about old Simpson's references.

3) [link]

The why:
His style lends itself to crazy characters, like old school Joker. Seeing a single page of a comic that spams over a hundred really doesn't give you an idea of what a bitch it can be to make one. I'll always have a special place in my heart for the gaily costumed heros of old. A very gay place.

Professor Brown strode into the classroom proper and up to the podium. He had the look of an aging hippy, but spoke with all the authority of a general sending troops to war.
“I can already tell which of you have futures. I know which of you will spend the better part of your lives trying, desperately, to escape the horrors of the work a day world. Deep inside you know who you are. You’ve doubted your skills every moment of every day; seen other surpass you in every discipline. To you I say save yourselves now! Give up on art! Go to your counselor and transfer into business courses. Become chefs, mailmen, laborers. You will simply become lifeless husks, spending each day wishing you had the talent to have been someone, but you will survive. If survival is important to you tarry not in this place. I assure you… only the strongest will ever do more than simply survive.”
The room was as silent as a tomb. Brown stood on his point; his cold gaze meeting with the eyes of random students. Then, near the back of the room, the sound of chair legs grinding across tile. A tall, lanky, boy stood quietly, gathered his things and strode, silently, from the room. Moments later a blonde girl followed. Obviously choking back tears. A few seconds later a boy with long, stringy, black, dyed hair rose and walked calmly towards the door. Just before he left he paused, looked the class over, and gave the assembled a single digit salute. His gaze met Professor Brown’s last. Brown simply smiled and waved back.
“Ta-Ta,” He chirped. “I look forward to seeing you at Starbucks.” The boy grimaced, muttered something, and strode out.
“Well,” He continued. “Now that the drama is out of the way the rest of us can set to work. In the adjoining room you will find easels already prepared with paper and charcoal. Please find one for yourself and I shall join you presently.”
Slowly, almost cautiously, the class filtered into the drawing room. Brown waited till they were all inside before making his way towards the door. Pausing briefly, he looked over the list of names his clipboard. “Only three this year.” He thought. “I’m losing my touch.”

I recognize that this sort of thing can be submitted as "art" but I choose not to. I may post it to the comic blog, but I know that many of you here will identify strongly with this little scene, and the comments for the comic blog are a pain to go back and forth with.

I look at a lot of art, but I rarely have anything whorthwhile to say about it. In my head it's like "this picture makes me happy ergo I will fave it."

Nothing deeper.

No sililoquies about the nature of mankind, or the theory of color. Perhaps you are like me in that respect. I understand. If you have something to say, that's cool too. Even if all you want to note is that a character is anatomically pleasing to you. I sympathize. I wouldn't have drawn it if some part of me didn't feel that way too.

The internet can be a scary place. Sometimes having to say something is just too much. I'm not going to jump all up in your shit if you don't have well thought out opinions of my work. Liking it at all is just fine.

Got some new fruit for my Animal Crossing town. Took two months, but whatever. Now I can do some hardcore gardening.

I've had some deviantmoney from the two prints I ever sold for about two years, so I finally just flushed it into a subscription. Guess I'll see how the other half lives for a while.

My mom bought me an animation program. I've got no head for that sort of thing, but maybe I'll try to make something.

An excerpt from the AP:

A Wal-Mart worker was killed Friday after an "out of control" throng of shoppers eager for post-Thanksgiving bargains broke down the doors at a suburban store and knocked him to the ground, police said.

At least four other people, including a woman eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.

Nassau police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the store doors at the mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the man to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion


What the fuck?

I've known way to many Mikes to strike it from the list. The world needs Mikes. That's a scientific fact. A world without Mikes is hardly a world at all. The thing is I always fear that they're going to think it's some kind of reference to them. Then if they hate the character they'll always be like "why did you name that shitty character after me"? And I'm like "Dude (or girl dude as the case may be.) I totally didn't", but then you wonder if they believe you. I wonder if I'm the only person who stresses over this stuff so much.

On a stage a typical scene is set in a room with a stationary "camera". The set has 3 walls, and the fourth wall is the audience's point of veiw. Breaking the fourth wall is aknowledging the fact that there are people watching you by interacting with them. Looking at them, speaking directly to them, or what have you. It's usually used to get a cheap laugh, but it can be used as an effective storytelling tool in the right hands.

Anyway, that satisfied them, but they wanted to know who came up with the idea and I didn't know. I looked it up, and it turns out that no one knows for sure who came up with it, but the Greeks used it, and it probably predates them. Which led me to think about a caveman putting on a play, presumabley about the kinds of things cavemen would be concerned about.

And that, dear friends, is how I wrote the first script for The Flintstones.

How old are you?

I am approximately 32 years old at the time of this writing.

Do you have a day job?

I am a janitor.

Do you have a significant other?

No. I am incredibly hard to get along with. Also fat.

What kinds of games do you like to play?

I am open to pretty much any kind of video game as long as it’s well made. Earthbound for the SNES is my standard answer for favorite game of all time. Final Fantasy for the NES was the game that convinced me that RPGs didn’t always have to suck. Right now I’m obsessed with Mario Kart Wii. I don't care for sports, so I don't play those games. However, I always thought if I got crazy rich somehow I'd try golf. I like walking around.

What sort of shows do you like to watch?

Random television viewing usually consists of whatever National Geographic, History Channel, A&E, or PBS throw at me. I love trivia, so those channels appeal to me. I love shows about the paranormal. I actually try to avoid watching TV because I’m so busy, but I always watch Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Venture Brothers, & Transformers Animated.

What is your favorite television series?

Doctor Who.

What is your favorite animal and why?

I prefer to like things on a one on one basis, but dogs are probably my favorite animal, which is odd because I was terrified of dogs as a child. Dogs are, and have been, a big part of my family for may years.

What Is your favorite comic?

American comics are so hard to find, where I live, that I haven’t read them in years. Batman: The Long Halloween was the last series I really loved.

What Is your favorite manga?

Bleach.

What is your favorite web comic?

Kris Straub’s Starslip Crisis.

What is your favorite movie?

Ghostbusters.

What is your favorite anime?

Royal Space Force: The Wings Of Honneamise

What type of socks do you wear?

Gray ankle socks.

What do you think of net speak?

It’s a reflection of our culture of connection.

What music do you listen to?

I like symphonic stuff mostly. Things I can listen to while working that won’t derail my train of thought. Cake, “Weird” Al, Gorillaz, and Ben Folds Five, are about the only bands/performers I own multiple Cds of.

What inspired your work?

My life, & working in retail.

What Inspired your characters?

My characters are an amalgam of memories of people I worked with and parts of my fractured personality. The situations are a combination of fantasy and real experiences.

Thomas is nicely generic looking so readers could have an in for the story. He’s the character most like I am now. If you don’t like Thomas you probably wouldn’t like me if you met me. He shares my middle name with me. The relationship between Ed and Thomas is sort of like old me talking to young me. He and John are both as tall as I am.

Ed is a very old character. He was the star of a series I came up with when I was younger and had the good sense to give up on. His back story is essentially a synopsis of that idea. His personality is a reflection of mine when I was young. He evolved into the current incarnation over many, many, years. The first drawings of Ed probably date back to when I was 7 or so.

John was originally a character from Ed’s back story. In fact, they were friends, but I needed an easy face for the games manager. It had to be something generically handsome so I used John. I kept his old name because it was easy. He’s sort of every ladies man I ever worked with, and there was always at least one.

Nina is my voice of love for the world. She is that part of me that still has hope for humanity, and a better tomorrow. She is that little voice in my head that keeps trying to tell me that things are going to be okay. Physically Nina is an amalgam of two girls I’ve known. One of them was slightly taller than me, which I found fascinating. (I’m 6’1”, by the way.)

Carol is, physically, the kind of girl I am attracted to. But really, so are all the others. I chose her as the object of Thomas’s desire because she isn’t media perfect. She’s regular perfect.

Here, as they say, is the deal: You can ask me any question you want, be it about my work, or myself. I'll try to answer the ones I feel comfortable with to the best of my abilities. Ask as many as you like. I'll gather them up and post them another day as a Q & A kind of thing. I just want to see if anyone is interested in that kind of thing, or if I should just leave well enough alone.

I await your theoretical responses.

My philosophy, concerning pretty much everything, is each to his own. If you really like Sonic the Hedgehog… Like, more than a friend, that’s cool with me. It’s not my bag, but you do whatever makes you happy. If you want Harry Potter to nail, Ron, Malfoy, Dumbledore, Snape, or any combination of characters, from any number of sources, then you go right ahead and make your little fan fiction. I am totally okay with that. I don’t want to read it, but far be it from me to tell you what should, or should not, turn you on. There area million more examples I could throw out here, but the long and short of it is whatever floats your boat. I may not like what you do, but I’m not going to actively give you shit about it.
That being said… even I, with my philosophy of tolerance, sometimes come upon something that I want to comment on in a negative way. There are times when I want, with every fiber of my being, to tell someone that their ideas are bad, and they should feel bad. I too, am only human. The problem is I don’t like to be mean to someone’s face. I prefer to do it behind their back, like any right thinking person. Also, I don’t want to get banned, or otherwise penalized for my opinions. Plus, people should be allowed to fail. Failure is the best teacher. Even someone who spends their teens drawing Mr. Herriman boning Frankie Foster might someday come up with a brilliant, world changing, idea. (For the record, I had to look up Mr. Herriman to get the correct spelling of his name. I, perhaps like you, am surprised by what it was.) You never can tell. So, I’ve come up with a fix I like to call the Anti-Favorite. The name says it all.
Now, in order for this to work properly the anti-fav, as it shall hereafter be known, has to be anonymous. Anonymity is the only way to allow timid people to unleash the bitter ire in their shaky hearts. For every anti-fav a deviation gets it loses one fave. The system keeps track of both, but presents the number of faves minus the anti-faves. By doing this a person can get an idea of how bad they should feel about their piece. Since it’s anonymous there’s no messy flaming to worry about. Just like faves, each person only gets one anti-fave per work. A list of your anti-faves, viewable by you alone, would need to be available in the management screen. Just in case you anti-fave in error. This way, you can see that for every hundred people who liked your mostly naked Kim Possible drawing there were 3 who did not. (Let‘s be honest, a mostly naked Kim Possible is going to win out, even if it’s scrawled on lined paper with a #2 pencil. That‘s not even worth arguing about.)
Now perhaps this suggestion isn’t the most original, but I think there is some merit in it. Sure a system like this is prone to abuse, but isn’t abusing people anonymously what the internet is for?

Well, boo-fucking-hoo... Lots of people want to know where your website is.

How horrible that must be.

I can only imagine the personal turmoil brought about by such rampant popularity...


I don't know. I guess if I were swimming in pageviews, and talent, I could get annoyed about something like that too. It just seems like that's a pretty awesome problem to have... Like having a form of cancer that doesn't kill you, but it makes you poop a large, gold, coin every 24 hours.

Maybe I'm the one with the problem...

What do you guys think?

I've collected a few choice items over the last few units of time. I found Payload, from the Transformers movie game. He's a cool toy, but has a crappy action gimmick. I don't much care for the drone transformers. I like my giant robots to have a face, but a few are cool, hence Payload is mine. There's only one other movie transformer I'm interested in now, and that's the tow truck guy, who's name I forget. If I ever see that night color Prime someplace I'd get that one too, but he's not priority. I don't love his head design. I just love the repait tones.

I found a couple of Robot Hero sets. I should have gotten into them sooner, 'cause now it's hard to find a lot of them. I haven't seen Prime anywhere I've been. I hate to go online for them though. Online toys shops are, by and large, run by price gouging asses. They are the bastard evolution of scalpers, who are unfit to breathe the same air as humans.

I was at another crap store, and was surprised to find a Revoltech Megatron & Prime. I got Megatron. Partly beacuse they cost a mint & partly because I own 3.5 million other Primes. If the oppertunity presents itself I'll go back for him, if not, then meh... Anyway, the Revoltech guys make for neat display pieces. That's about all I do with them anyway, so that's fine.

My Beast Wars Rattrap arrived with the second Batman Beyond season. He's a fun toy, and one of the better Beast Wars figures. He doesn't have some stupid mask, like half of them do. Masks that were never used in the show... I don't know what Hasbro was thinking when they made some of those toys because the heads are practically ruined by the extra crap. I actually resculpted Rhinox because his was so bad. I just snapped Primal's mask off, and tossed it some place. I did like Waspinator's interchangable heads though. That was done well.

I got around to actually watching the Batman Beyond DVDs too. That's odd for me. Usually it's weeks before I make time to do that kind of thing. That was a great show. I forgot how dark it is sometimes. Several of the episodes are really chilling, and have very dark endings. I didn't like the Batman Beyond story at first. It was such a well done series that I've grown to accept it. I'm now okay with the future of the DC animated universe, even if it is a bittersweet end for Bruce Wayne.

I got Rattrap because he was such a good deal and I liked him in Beast Wars. I don't always pick up BW stuff because a lot of it has been too pricey for what you get recently. The anniversary stuff especially. They cost more because you get part of another "figure" and a DVD. I already have all the Beast Wars DVDs so I could give a crap, and the build a figure is shit. I hate having to buy a whole line of toys to get parts of another guy, but it worked so well for Marvel Legends that everyone wants some of that action now.

I finally caved and got a set of the Robot Heros, Bumblebee & Soundwave. They are really well done, so now I've devided I want them all... Well, most of them. Unicron comes with another Prime, and you know what? Fuck Unicron. Even if he was voiced by Orson wells. I'm not going to get the movie style guys because they don't translate well. Only some of the regular movie toys are very cool. The ones that are are really cool though, like Wreckage. He's one of the most badass Decepticons in a long time.

I'm intersted in these new G.I. Joes I've been seeing in various posts. They look really good. Better than the ones I already have. If I ever get the chance I'll try to get them, but utlook not good" says the eight ball.

I've actually sold a couple of shirts from my crapepress shop. That's pretty cool to me because that means that someone looked at my design and though "I need to own this." Little things like that help offset the fact that my comic's popularity is dropping faster than a space shuttle in 1986. At least as far as Drunk Duck's strange ranking system is concerned anyway. It does sting though, especially when inferior work, that updates less, continues to speed past my smoldering corpse, waving, and pointing, as it passes. I'm not trying to be arrogant either. I recognize that my work is substandard, but it's less substandard than a lot of what's out there. It's just aggrivating that I can be so easily defeated by other artists who seem to have gone to school on the short bus...

I know that, in the long run, I'll win out. When everybody else has moved on, I'll still be in the trenches fighting the good fight.

This would be the place where the rules for the meme would be, if I didn't intend for it to die right here, in my post.

This is the place where I will list 8 random facts about myself startiiiiiiiiing, now:

1 I'm acrophobic.

2 I am obsessed with clocks.

3 I hate using the phone.

4 I sometimes have food with my mustard.

5 I take my Nintendo DS & Mario Kart with me almost everywhere.

6 My Tivo thinks I'm gay.

7 I'm afraid of new places.

8 I cry openly, and often, but am imposing enough to get away with it.

You can say what you will about Andy Warhol, but we are living in the world he predicted. News and entertainment are as one, we celebrate mediocrity, and for every two steps we take forward, we retreat by one. He may have been a hack, or a charlatan… or a prophet. My money’s on hack, but he certainly wasn’t a fool.

It's, like, way early, or way late, depending on what path you follow. I'm sitting here, watching every episode of A Haunting that my anTivo has saved. I'm not sleeping because I keep sleeping at wierd times. Normally, when I can't sleep, I play one of the many games I've never finished, but I'm waiting for Fable: The Lost Chapters to get here. I don't want to start on another game before I get off of my Fable craze. I was going to finish Valkyrie Profile for my PSP, but I got sick of micro managing everything in my quest for the best ending. I think I've all but sealed that deal, but I just went off it. I was all over some DS games after that. I completed every old Final Fantasy, apart from 3, and those cursed side stories. I got through all the Megaman Zero games, including ZX, but haven't committed to the last Battlenet game. I really enjoyed that series. I'm sad to know it's over. I haven't forced myself to finish any of the Zelda tiles that I need to. Majora's mask is the oldest one, but I just don't care. I was never sucked into that one. It felt kind of thrown together. I liked Wind Waker a lot, but life decided to screw with me just before I competed it. It was the same for KOTOR. I'm withing sight of the goal for both of those games, but I can't convince myself to just get them done. I haven't finished something like 50% of the games I own. Even now that I have a lot more time I still can't get ahead. For a few years the game companies decided to make games so intense that they started to feel like work. I mean, if I have to complete every minigame to see the best ending it starts to feel like a punishment. I'm looking your way Kingdom Hearts. I spent so long trying to complete the 100 acre wood, only to find that my save file was corrupt. I'll say this much for KH: its ending was worth it. I had a good time playing Ghost Hunter, but that game just fell apart at the end. The last hour, or so, of gameplay was pathetic, then the ending left nothing but a bunch of questons. I doubt there'll ever be a sequel. Man, what a waste of time this is. It's like one long thought about how I can't decide how to effectively fritter away my time... I'm just not coherent enough to work on any real writing. I've had the next two comic pages mapped for two weeks, and i still can't force myself to get them done. I need to stay on it, but meh... I wish I was faster with everything, but I have to accept my limitations and work within them. If I didn't have the hook hand it would be a lot easier. Never play with a cotton gin, kids... learned that the hard way.

I've seen this episode... I'm going to make for Dreamland again. If I see Nemo, I'm a kick his ass.
