Being Picky as HELL About Anthro Anatomy Empty
PostSubject: Being Picky as HELL About Anthro Anatomy   Being Picky as HELL About Anthro Anatomy Icon_minitimeThu Jun 27, 2013 3:02 pm

This isn't gonna be eloquent or anything, but I just want to try and get this off my chest.

First, I'm not talking about what you like in porn or anything. I'm specifically talking about basic structure for the body of any bipedal anthro creature.

I'm noticing on DA, FAF, FAM, HF, and even fucking e621 that people curse and try their damndest to force artists who stylize* an anthro with "unrealistic" touches that they're doing something wrong. I never got why among any other groups, furries are so inexplicably picky about how an anthro "should" be.
I'm not the type to just always say furries are the worst at everything (like a certain forum) when there are notably WORSE groups on the net, but in this regard, I find furries to truly be the most persnickety and aggressive with this particular issue. And it's not just what they want on a mere personal level, but they try to make it law and are often obtrusive about it.
I can understand if you commission someone and you ask for specifics (why you'd commission anyone who makes stylistic choices you don't approve of is beyond me but also beyond the point). But it's not even that. I've gotten PM's on 2 different sites now telling me I'm awful and uneducated because I gave a gecko woman breasts. They were genuinely mad at me. I'm seeing this sort of thing all over the place as of the last few months and it's baffling.

*This is a side rant. I love when the word "style" comes up, it automatically and UNIVERSALLY ruffles the jimmies of artists or "arteests" as I use as a light derogatory term. It's as if you have to out do the works of Maxfield Parrish or all the talents of Udon Crew combined before you can even utter the fucking word. God forbid you actually DO know what you're doing and choose to deviate a bit. I know that style is not what people should focus on, but when a small touch is added why throw a huge fit?

That's all for now...

TL;DR: Why are furries picky about the anatomy of something that's purely fantasy so it doesn't always have to adhere to every rule?

I can understand why some people might be frustrated by people writing off inaccuracy as a 'style' choice, but that's just based on personal experience.

I know an artist who draws shit, attempting to do photorealism, but just totally lacks any understanding of lighting, perspective, texturing, or anatomy.

Whenever you point out those flaws, he gets really defensive and claims that all these problems are okay because it's 'his style.' It's mind-meltingly frustrating.

But the fact of the matter is, complaining about breasts on a gecko-woman is just fucking stupid. Yes, it's a reptile. It's a reptile that has been given superficial human-like features. One of those features happens to be breasts. Get over it, scale-fags.

The problem isnt so much that theyre picky with anatomy, its that theyre picky with things that they want to be attracted to. If you draw something, and they see it and want to find it attractive but cant because of something youve added, such as a style choice or subject matter, they get mad because they cant overlook that glaring thing that they dont want to see so they can go about their business.

To sum it up, theyre mad because they cant fap to it. Not a single fuck wa

On that note though, theres also those people who hamper their ability by claiming an unintentional mistake or lack of skill in basic art foundations as a "style". The word has become something of a taboo. Everyone of course has their own artistic style, but when you claim that the disproportionate arms on your anthro kitsune OC are a "style choice", dont expect people to be nice. If you cant take some helpful constructive criticism, then you probably shouldnt have your art on a public website where anyone can comment on it at will. Whats worse is theres a lot of people that actually support this way of thinking and encourage the people that lack basic foundations that calling it a "style" is okay...and Ive seen really good artists tell people this. They arent helping them, theyre just further pushing them away from improvement by adding support towards this idea of a stylized lack of skill and its actually cringe-worthy. If youre an artist of that caliber and youre telling starting artists to ignore constructive criticism and go on claiming it as your "unique style", then you need to have your art supplies taken away from you for life.

I understand that proportions and just basic foundations of drawing are important. But I'm actually talking about specifically adding defined features.

Like boobs on reppie women?
Like digitigrade on plantigrade animals, vice versa?
Like really long ears on a cow (Chalosan)?
Want them to be smooth like humans instead of furry like animals? That sort of thing.

And for me, I never give a fox a nose. Ever. Only Renamon who is about to lose her sniffing privileges next I draw her. O^O
Now, I know this is wrong. I know it's not realistic. And I know that I don't give a fuck. I like my foxes with no noses for some odd reason. I CAN do it. I choose not to. Not a single fuck wa
People get on me for it.

Oh, as far as people complaining about certain features added to an anthro, thats merely personal preference, and some people's preferences suck Not a single fuck wa

And see? Maybe you don't fucking find that appealing for some obvious ass reasons. Same way people bug me for not drawing different types of dicks period. I refuse to make knots barbs, flat heads, or those spearheaded motherfuckers. I find them utterly repulsive. Humanoid 100%. Most I'd do is change the color and give it a sheath. That's fucking it. I don't care if it doesn't fit, it looks much better to me.

Artists are supposed to appeal to the tastes of every single person that was ever born.

This is a fact.
