  bit hard to follow but looking over it for a while kinda helps. Concept is pretty cool, and well I love cool ideas and concept. +

  Ooo, it's a time loop! With a few space loops thrown in, it seems.

So the guy is slowly turning into a fox while hanging around with fully-formed future fox versions of himself? Ooo!

  I think I get it:

The unsuspecting fellow steps into the slide out of curiosity, and ends up in a room from which the only exit is a narrow slot he can't fit through. Perhaps through discussions with his future selves: he figures out his fate: he's trapped in the room for five days until he turns into a fox costume and goes flat and limp, and even then his previous self must fold him up and feed him through the slot, after which this company puts him in a box and sells him.

Now that's a unique business plan!

  Will remind, will remind, will remind me.

It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing, all that time in England


i can just see it playing out in the exact same way as the music video

This is jaw dropping.

How much planning did this take? How long did you spend doing it?

  This is so awesome in so many ways I don't know where to begin, but one thing is making me wonder. Just what is the magenta line?

  The inner lining?

  Oh god, you're giving me an info-graphic fetish. Please stop, I have meetings to attend. XD

Also, little vector images should become big vector images (hint, hint)

Perhaps I should upload a larger version of the image where it won't get reduced...

  I was trying to piece the individual frames together into the large scene (at least 6 images I guess, since there's six different "states" of the couch) but there's a stray tail on the staircase that doesn't seem to belong to anyone. Mystery fox.

  swatcher
 

( No Subject ) Posted: 2 years ago

  Are you sure? The room does have a mysterious, looping quality to it. :)

  So they gradually become fox suits? Will they merge with the person who wears them then? Or will something else happen. Great tf in my oppinion though.

also may I suggest bolting down the bed and couch, however why any one would want to escape is beyond me. If it where me, I would have convinced myself to where me as soon as I got there.

  I catch your reference but I don't completely get what you're trying to say here, other than the fact that this is visually only marginally similar to a music video which draws upon the same widespread and familiar style I am referencing in this picture.

  I really like that fox head though, it's got such a weird simultaneously artificial + alive quality to it

  Reminds me of Laffoley's artwork, but instead of describing abstract measurements of time and space, it's a graph of transformation!


I love works like this! :>

  swatcher
 

( No Subject ) Posted: 2 years ago

  Okay I'm gun' give you a chance to leave a real reply. I'm really sick and tired of these "WHUT" style replies though. I spent a lot of time on this.

  kilcodo
 

( No Subject ) Posted: 2 years ago

  Thanks. I'm actually a big fan of your work, and you OBVIOUSLY put an immense amount of effort, and thought into your creations--you make intentional art. I didn't mean to come off as belligerent, I was attempting to be humorous and it was really late at night.
As you're clearly aware, it's hard to be taken seriously as an artist on a furry art website. I get it all the time myself, with careless comments displaying a palpable disrespect for the effort and intention of the artwork being critiqued--but I've developed a pretty solid aloofness towards that sort of attention and I usually laugh off any meme-related or stupid attempts on humor on my page.
But now that I understand your personal desire to use FA as a vehicle for *thoughtful* artistic critique and commenting, I will respectfully refrain from silliness...

That being said let me give you a real comment about this piece.

It's a polished modernist nightmare and I don't mean that in a bad way. It reminds me of Chris Ware but it has this clean digital feel to it that calls to mind product diagrams and disassociated simulation programs (which is your intent, I believe). It's darkly humorous while at the same time having a frightening ambiance to it, as it forces the viewer to witness the solitude and mutation of the hapless lad that enters the building... it has the creepy-but-goofy quality to it that is indicative of your style. My favorite part is the fox-man on the bed with his arse in the air.



  swatcher
 

( No Subject ) Posted: 2 years ago

  I love silliness, and insight isn't a requirement! Even just "I like this!" is cool. I do wish you had thought about how your comment would come off before you'd hit "Add Reply". This has become a way huger case than either of us wants it to be. 4ch-ish memes have pissed me off for a while and sadly, you were the straw that broke the camel's back. Even you must admit that your comment sounds pretty trollish, and I hope you can appreciate why I blocked you pre-emptively. It's not because I want you to give me a super deep and insightful analysis (although that's what you've done, thank you!), it's because your comment read as kind of jerkish and detatched in a way that I've seen in dozens of trolls. And yeah, I've dealt with trolls a lot, and most of the time when I try to laugh them off or humor them it just becomes a huge mess and I wish I'd blocked them after they made the first comment. I understand that your intention wasn't to troll. But I don't know you. There was no way of knowing what the hell you meant by that.

Anyway, jeez. Enough of that. Tthanks for the comment. That's exactly what I was going for!

  Hey Swatcher

I initially didn't want to post on this, but I kinda feel compelled. :c
With stuff like this, it's hard not to say "what"

I think especially on a sort of sense of how sad and sorta traumatic of this sort of TF.. slowly regurgitating into paranoia and being trapped while slowly turning into a fox suit and die.

And to be honest, it would've never been affective had it wasn't detailed and laid out nicely here. so in sorts, 'what' is a victory.

Thanks for your hard work,


  swatcher
 

( No Subject ) Posted: 2 years ago

  Well, it's also not hard to leave a thoughtful comment like you just have, even if you find this sort of creepy, that's alright! I don't want to be one of those people who flip out over negative comments. That's just silly.:P

As for suit guy, rest assured, he's not dead! He's so blissed out that he doesn't even want to move. Naturally, he'll come back to life when someone else puts him on, but that is not pictured here.
