Is It Just Me...

... Or does anyone else feel really happy when they go to check people's page and see that they're a species other than "cat" or "dog?"
I have a tendency to go check out every person who faves or watches me if I don't recognize the name, and it makes me happy when I see somebody who makes an unorthodox character that works. Like, you know, today it was a Tasmanian Devil and I know there is the COMPSOGNATHUS WHO KNOWS WHO THEY ARE. That is awesome.
PIRANHA DINOSAUR. >:C
Not that there's anything wrong with more mundane animals (hi, my characters are a dog and a hyena, and my favorite non-representational character is a giant cat), but I just love seeing new species being made into characters. ;u;
IF I FIND A COELACANTH CHARACTER I WILL DIE HAPPY.

IF YOU DRAW ONE THOUGH I WILL SQUEAL LIKE A PIG. FULL OF HELIUM. AND PROBABLY DRUGS.
So there will probably be one made up for that because...coelacanths are awesome.
And yes. Coelacanths are <3. ;-;
SPEAKING OF WATERY THINGS, I NEED TO DRAW PEPPER STILL. HA.
What is this madn... OH WAIT SUMMER CLASSES. I almost took those for the sake of getting my AS and AA faster.
Of course, if youve been on DA, who hasnt heard THIS before. :I
I guess I'm a bit hypocritical since I draw a lot of HYENAS AND ELVES AND GIANT DRUNKEN CATS, but seriously. Lizards and birds and bugs and fish and even mammals from other families. Fossas and cacomistles and SHEEP. Oh my god, mountain sheep. ;u;
I ALSO LIKE CACOMISTLES.
I seem to like... slinky, long-tailed things, LOL.

Anyway, it is pretty cool when people have unorthodox fursonas.
However, what I don't understand (AND THIS ISN'T YOU, DON'T WORRY) is discriminating against them if they do have a canine/feline fursona or happen to like to draw those a lot. No, it's not a good thing to get compeltely stuck on drawing one thing, but...after drawing all those Adrimas pictures, can I really talk about that kind of thing? :D; Seriously, unless they're experimenting for the purpose of getting better, everyone should draw what they like, the end. Doesn't mean anyone else has to like that subject matter or that drawing dogs CONSTANTLY is particularly creative, but...
Also, there is a reason people like canines/felines the most. That's because they are the most popular pets, and even if other things look cool, they don't make as good pets. And people are pretty likely to like what they see most. XD (Coincidentally, I just realized this yesterday, and then you posted this journal. RAIKOOOU~)
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE DO. WE DISAGREE WITH EACH OTHER. EVEN IF I ACTUALLY AGREE.
Like, I agree but at the same time I wish people would branch out because it's really cool to see new things, you know? So while I won't get on people's cases about drawing the same things over and over, at the same time (like I said above) it's like I think, "THERE IS A WHOLE WORLD OUT THERE TO WORK WITH. D:"
Then again, it's kind of hypocritical of me as of late. I do not draw as much odd stuff as I used to. I need to get back into that weird SCORPION COW MONSTER and ROBOTIC SNAKE DINOSAUR phase I dropped towards the start of posting art online. >:C
And I will probably never draw much in the way of SCORPION COW MONSTER, but I guess that's...just how I am? MAYBE THAT MAKES ME UNCREATIVE, I DON'T KNOW. That said, I agree that a lot of animals are quite radtastic.
...WE HAVE THE MOST PASSIONATE DEBATES EVER.
... I also used to give everything extra parts, or too few. Like, Mij has an extra everything, you know? Though I guess I still do that. I mean, lookit Jari and Rasasha and their number of eyes.
AND THE BAD PART IS THAT, EVEN WHEN WE DISAGREE, THIS IS HOW WE SOUND.
"DISAGREE DISAGREE DISAGREE OH COOL A CHARIZARD *FORGET*"
Does that make me special since I made something up as a fantasy creature? :3c
ONLY WITH LESS... CORN?
I wanna be a duocorn. :<
I wasn't sure what that was, so I looked it up with Google. First response? Wasn't Neopets. First response was Urban Dictionary. xD http://www.urbandictionary.com/defi.....p?term=duocorn
If it makes you feel better, the Petpet Duocorn is very cute. xD;;
I CAN, HOWEVER, BE A SMALL, PUDGY ORANGE PETPET.
I have no room to judge. My characters are mostly gray, one is a dog in headphones, and the other is a hyena who no longer looks like a hyena, hahaha.
PLEASE DO NOT DO THE STABBITY THING.
Sadly though, I am a cat. A Manx, but a cat none the less XD
AND IS COO'. My part-time main is a dog. Sure, I don't see many Pulis, but DOG IS DOG. XD
I've tried doing different species. But Graymalkin is just.. A lazy Manx XD I try to do different species.. Though of my four favorite characters, one is a Panda, another is a Mouse, and then I have Oktober the cat and Blot the Dog XD
... Made a cobra, working on a shark, and considering a hoatzin, though.
"Wait, that's not a wolf...holy cheese, is that sum anthropomorphic blobfish I see? Sweet!"
But a gal can dream~
Anyway, yes. :| I hate when I find "dawd" or "caht" and then this horribly overcolored creature.
ONE HAS RADAR DISH EARS AND THE OTHER IS STILT DOG.
I CAN ALMOST SEE A PICTURE.
We may get better reception in Kansas. >:C
WE HAVE TO FIND THE WIZARD FIRST.
THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ
