Can somebody tell me what all this Inkbunny noise is about
15 years ago
I'd like to preface this journal by admitting I feel guilty for bringing up Inkbunny yet again, as anyone reading this has no doubt waded through a thick marsh of other journals.
I just want to know what the big deal is.
As soon as a new furry art site comes out, every man and his dog (pun possibly intended) legs it over there and advertises it here. Why? Does this site have special features I should know about? Is there an actual reason to go there beyond one more place to worry about submitting to and divide my favourites / pageviews / comments even more?
Seriously, what's the big deal?

I dunno, I might put my stories up on the site. Any publicity is good publicity. Otherwise I'm not much concerned either way with it and I'm kind of suspecting it may end up going the way Furocity did
I've been watching the For Sale section and it's frankly puzzling. Most of the artwork available under that banner so far seems to be, broadly speaking, cheesecake pinups that I can't really imagine anyone would want to buy either a grand-size digital download or a laserprint of. Is there really that big a perceived market for furries buying frameable hi-def copies of these images? I think the thing that's going to decide if Inkbunny lives or dies is whether it can provide sales to artists, and really I think a lot of them are going to be disappointed because they don't seem to be providing anything I imagine an audience would want. The money in furry comes from providing people with their fantasies, not from high-resolution run-offs of someone else's. I could be wrong about that of course, so don't quote me on it yet, haha!
You'd pretty much have to be an elite-grade furfag to even dare doing that. We tend to be ourselves on the internet quite openly (hell, look at me!), but would you be happy to put up a poster of a fox getting fucked in three holes in your living room? Unless you had no shame whatsoever, you'd be taking it down every time you had a non-furry visitor come over. Which I assume would include all of one's family.
Yeah I never bothered with the print account stuff on DA because there's too many rules. I also don't like the idea that a site is (unawarely, pretty much!) taking a 50% cut for my hard work.
