I’ve Been Losing Interest in Anthropomorphic Animals
2 years ago
What's Reptu up to this time?
I don’t know if you all have noticed, but my posting is getting increasingly sparse. Yeah, it’s because I’ve been losing interest in anthropomorphic animals pretty lately. This interest has been dulling over this past several months.
The concept used to be cool: a walking, talking animal. But now, it’s gotten a bit cheesy. Seriously, I get it: you’re an animal but you can do human things. Oooo, so special. But why? It just looks silly and ridiculous to me when an animal talks and gets up on its two legs, especially with those digitigrade ones. So childish.
I just feel like it’s all pointless doing art on creatures that don’t exist and never will exist. With all this anthro art on this site, has anyone thought that there are no real, living anthropomorphic animals to appreciate that art we’re making of them?
Thus, I’ve actually been getting into human characters. I think it’s time I draw more attention to our own species, you know, the species we interact with every day. I honestly do think there needs to be more human art out there. There simply isn’t enough. And the art that I will make will be something new and different. There is a mark that I need to make then it comes to human art. Also, I tend to find human characters way more exciting, because I get up in the morning and see humans in my daily life.
I look back at all the furry at I’ve made, and as if it all weren’t already a waste, the species I’ve been doing art on made it a bigger waste: dinosaurs and dragons.
This whole time I’ve been doing art animals that aren’t even living. Dinosaurs, I mean seriously? Those guys have been extinct for millions of years. You had your time on this planet, and now it’s over. Get over it. And dragons, oh dragons; don’t get me started. The whole flying and fire breathing- the concept is just preposterous. Their wings are too small to actually fly, especially for cartoon dragons, and their mouths from the inside would just be burned black from all that fire-breathing. And do we really have to add all this extra stuff like horns, spikes, fins, fluff, and what not? It’s like dumping a crap load of sprinkles and frosting on a cupcake- it’s just too much, not pleasing to the eye.
So yeah, that’s it. It’s been a long journey with my furry art, but it’s all coming to a close.
And if you’re wondering if I’m serious, check the date and you’ll know. At what point did you figure it out?
