Holy Crap! + Suggestions for Moar? + Any questions?
14 years ago
Went to bed after submitting my latest submission last night, woke up and saw my control panel full of new hits and stuff and was like "Oh my god! Where are all these people coming from? Why do they like my stuff? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH", and then proceeded to go through to at least thank everybody who has watched me or favorited one of my drawings.
Because I really do appreciate it when people like what I do, so I'm sorry if I missed someone! (Or thanked them for the wrong thing, OTL OTL. I try to be accurate, I do, but sometimes I slip. :C :C! )
After that moment of 'AHHHHHH', I figured I'd open up a few suggestions for either:
a) Species you guys think I should draw (Hybrids are included in this, I'm not very good at thinking up awesome ones, but would like to try to draw one sometime)
b) Pairs you think should go in my gallery
c) Any scenarios you think I would draw nicely
or
d) If you think one of my original three girls submitted need a hook up, I'm all for that as well. P;
On top of that, if anybody has any questions for me, feel free to post 'em here or whatever, I'm not shy, ha ha.

FA+

However, a word of caution. There's unpleasantness that comes with being watched by a lot of people and being FA-popular. Lots of folks that look for opportunities to get their characters drawn for free, and they often won't just be satisfied with it happening once. No pleasin' some people. I've seen selfish and manipulative folk burn artists out before, and it always makes me feel bad for them. :\ So.. consider this word of caution like an antibody against frustrating watchers. Also, you might find your stuff not getting commented on so often but still getting hits. This is 'cause a lot of people have nothing of value to say and they don't want to clutter your inbox with comments. :>
but as far as your alphabetized suggestion list..
a.) I kinda like sheeps, cows and big cats.
b.) Pairs.. eh. I'm not really a big pairs guy. Don't dislike'em, just don't care to make'em.
c.) I'd feel too imposing if I requested this, I think. I think you'd draw anything nicely.
As for your question:
a) I'm more of a horse, sheep, cow, big cat,kind of guy, as you will note if you look through my gallery;
b) pairs? Which I have a good answer to that right now, but sadly, I don't, other than male/female, or female/female.
c) scenarios? Can't think of any.
Only question is, how long have you been drawing.
As for how long I've been drawing, oh man. For freakin' ever. Though fur-art is only something I've picked up in the last year or so.
Okay. Freaking forever, eh? Doesn't look it.
A) Anything you see fit to draw, i don't really mind, if you wish to draw sheep be my guest :D their awesome
B) Anything
C) I can't think of any :S
As far as question, which means do you prefer to draw? Digitally or regularly and What are your favorite species other than sheep .3.
Personally I think your art is elegant and conveys a rich sense of form. It's titillating but tasteful.
As far as requests, I echo some of the others' thoughts on treading cautiously. I've had my share of people who've come to me with "suggestions" that they strongly pressed on me, that I really really should draw this or that. But there was also a period where for kicks I did an open request to broaden my range of anthro species. That was met with positive feedback and suggestions and it was a very fun thing for me to draw and my watchers to discuss. So it's really a mixed bag. Just remember that as the artist, you're ultimately in control of what you draw, and if you're not inclined to take someone's request, you don't have to, even if they act like you're mean for declining.
A) That being said, if you're considering suggestions, I'll humbly offer my favorite species, goats. Your sheep pic is my fav of the four you've posted so far, so I'd love to see your take on a goat girl.
B) I'm not much for pairs, either, but I find mismatched pairings can be interesting. (wolf/sheep, mouse/cat, lion/zebra, etc) It's fun to wonder what could bring two very different kinds of beings together so intimately.
C) "Scenarios" is a tough one.
If you open yourself up for commissions you will probably garner a lot of commissioners, considering how fast you're getting views after being on FA only a short while. But be careful to avoid putting too much on your plate and burning out. It's really a question of, do you need the extra money and are you comfortable drawing something specific under a stranger's direction?
But whatever you decide to do, you will probably get a lot of love here.
In all seriousness, more hoofers are always nice.
Planning on doing any commissions soon?
