What would you like to see from me?
16 years ago
Obviously I'm still finishing up my current commissions (and working on Taboo), but this semester I am not taking classes, and thus will be working full time. So I think instead of taking commissions once I finish my two commissions, artistically I'll focus on Taboo (which you won't get to see) and maybe a few just-for-fun pieces every so often (which you will).
But what would you guys like to see me come out with? You can be as vague or specific as you like; don't consider this a direct "request," but I really want to hear what interests my watchers, be it specie subject matter or genre...whatever.
GO GO GO. I'm not asking again. >__>

I love the American Indian accouterments in your Taboo.
Your Facing Sunset, Facing Dawn has a theme that I have always loved - human-furry friendship and love.
And I totally agree; you don't see enough on the subject matter of humans interacting with anthros. I suppose because it's generally assumed that a world with furries would be a world without humans, or something along those lines--but that's just no fun. ^^; I'll have to try to fit in some more human/furry art sometime soon; that piece was a lot of fun...and I definitely need practice with humans. Getting rusty.
I don't expect to see people modifying themselves into furrys, but I do expect to soon see enhanced dogs, cats, and other companion animals. Eventually - probably well within our lifetimes - some will have human intelligence. The emotions are there already; emotions come from the limbic system, and foxes, dogs, tigers, etc., already have the same limbic system and the same emotions as humans. Put all that together, and we will be Facing Sunset, Facing Dawn...
and yush, bondage :D
That said, something's gotta be said about your simpler coloring / shading style ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1875613/ ). It's amazing in it's own right, and I'd say it'd be a lot easier on you and could possibly even be used sparingly as a warm up to your more detailed work.
As for subject matter, I would say to draw more of your own characters & ideas.
If you want a challenge....
Draw really active public scenes. Sidewalks. Carnivals. Cafes. Lots of people, lights, etc. Maybe the occasional car. But thats if you want a real challenge. I dont think you would.
Beyond that... Maybe look to mainstream artists for inspiration. Michelle Gagliano comes to mind and her paintings of brown and tan nature scenes with the occasional, soft, brilliantly shocking shades of blue:

#'s 6, 7, & 8 in particular.
And beyond all that, you could draw an oddball variety of fox (Ruppel's Fox comes to mind).
Whatever you want to do, go with it.
That said, I personally wouldn't mind seeing more otters or more realistic drawings (like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3158190/ ) either.
