Time For a Story, Kiddos.

So, this is what my day at work went like:
A client hired the studio I work at to design them a mascot for their website. First thing they ask for is a human or a cute alien, and they didn't give much of a basic lead apart from 'has to be interesting, smart, professional and mysterious'. I drew eight awesome designs. THEY REJECTED ALL OF THEM.
Then they decided they wanted an animal mascot instead, specifically a fox. I think to myself, I'm good at drawing animals and this should be like an easy and fun task. BUT WAIT,
said client links me to a bunch of stuff by Eric Schwartz AND SOME TERRIBLE FURRY PORN FROM HERE ON FA, as an example of what they'd like for their mascot.
I wish I was joking, but that really happened.

But linking to porn kind of sends a different message. :I
The client will NEVER pick your favorite designs...
Actually! This rule can be perfectly summed up with some My Little Pony! Yay! :D

But no, I've raged.
But yeah, I did rage pretty damned hard when this happened. I think the best moment was when my boss pretty much said 'fucking furries' in response to it all.
Lol.
Show us the awesome designs man.
