NO
EMBRACE YOUR FURRY
EMBRACE IT
NOW
GUNGE.

Noooooo. Aww, well I hope you'll drop by here and there. You have lots of talent, so you'll do great and make it big in no time. I really loved your stetches of odd animals and stuff.

I wish you all te luck, have fun! :3

Yes, I'm going to - a lot of my favorite artists are on here aaaaa
Aw thank you! c: I do hope so, haha!

;w; I will follow you on tumblr and love all over your art there
I know you will do well no matter what kind of art you want to focus on <3

kjf thank you! @u@

Don't go... :(
I will NEVER forget you and your amazing art!! <3
and I will miss you :T

I'll be popping back on to check up on people and that!! I couldn't leave my peeps behind, haha |D
that means a lot though, thank you very much!! c:

Im going to miss you because you were such a fun person and so inspirational :/ i hope to speak to you again

wow thank you!! I really appreciate that, I never expected to be inspirational, haha :O I sure hope we will! c:

You're very welcome and i hope so too :c

Ill be sure to follow your tumblr.Mine is Blackfangkane just so you know,And Ill miss you drawing anthros.I always loved your style of drawing them.

haha yes I saw it! >D thanks man, it probably won't be the end of it anyway - I suppose I'll just learn other skills, and pick this up later. hell I might even be better then, being able to apply any new skills I may learn to anthro art???

But you weren't a furry to begin with! Neither am I, or in fact, anyone registered on this site. Nobody is a furry. We are who we are, no matter what our ego wants to call ourselves. Just do what you enjoy and never worry about stuff like this ^_^

The snail on your tumblr is amazing!

True. :O Though I'm mainly doing this less because of the title and more because I should really be learning to draw completely different things, haha. Hell maybe I'll learn to draw robots and we'll see anthro-themed robots on here and we'll all be like HOLY SHIT SHE LIVES WHAT
Yes, snails are wonderful, that one is like a great big kitten to me ;w;

haha sweet! thanks! c8

I'm sorry that you feel it necessary to leave, as I very much enjoyed seeing your work on here. But I wish you well!

Oh I know I'll never be able to permanently leave ANYTHING that has been such a huge part of my life, don't worry. This fandom has given me so much and all I'm planning on doing is leaving to gather more knowledge and skills and experience I guess? There are other reasons, but I don't think they're going to stop me eventually returning if only for a short time, hurhur.
Thank you very much! c:

As stated above, your art is amazing and I know you will do even more amazing things in the future. You will be missed, but it is great to hear that you are moving forward in life; moving on to bigger things and bettering yourself. No one can or should blame you for this. Though you will be missed, I am happy for you and wish you only the best in your future.

I just added you to tumblr so I can keep up with ya. Good luck, best wishes, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks so much! :O That does make me feel better about the whole situation, 'cause I see now that a LOT of people are kinda torn up that I'm leaving???
Thanks again, you too man! :D

You are welcome. You know, sometimes you never know how much of a positive influence you are or can be on people. It shows that you have so many people that care for you and, though sad to see you go, are also happy for you. ^^ You'll always have friends here. It'll be great to keep up with updates thru tumbler. :D

Awww dude, gonna miss you, you're the only one who looks at my gallery!
You've got a lot of natural talent and the best way to cultivate that is to draw what you're interested in. Best of luck in the future. :3

haha DOUBT IT, you have a super awesome character! >D
aaa thanks! It's like, that's what I've been doing for a long time now, I just feel like it might be a good idea to expand what I'm interested in? I don't really know how to explain it, it's kinda like I'm JUST PLAIN SCARED of drawing landscapes and things. I'm SCARED of drawing from life, and drawing real people, and trying different styles. This one, huge flaw that I have had all through my life is that I am SCARED SHITLESS of screwing up - of doing a job badly, or never being able to do it right and make it look nice. So really, when I think about it, I'm also going to be getting over my fears??? Because that's really the only way I can draw things right - is to draw them wrong, then improve. Not avoid drawing them.
oh wow words. Best of luck to you too, man! :D

but, no! D:
i guess i gotta open a tumblr now.

I am a terrible influenceeeeee >D

D:
awwwwwwwww man!
I think I might flip the fuck out!

ahh crap I have good timing don't I! D8 pssst tumblr is really awesome cough

I think that's actually pretty neat that you want to do that c: I've thought about doing that countless times. It seems like so many of us focus all of our creative energy on drawing animal people, and not on actual "art." Of course, there are probably quite a few furries out there who believe that anthropomorphic art can is "real art", but I can't help but disagree with that. I kind of feel like I'm not really tapping into my creative side by only drawing anthropomorphic art. It almost makes me feel guilty xD Anyway, I wish you the best of luck on truly awakening your artistic abilities :>

Yeah, though I think anything can be art - it's just that furries isn't usually what gets you a job somewhere from people who aren't as into animals :O
Thank you, I do hope it works out! C8

I followed you! :3
I hope you have a great time expanding on your talents. I've been working on expanding mine for the past couple years, and it feels weird at first, but it can be really fun. Landscapes, however, are the bane of my existence. :I

haha thanks! Yes, I've noticed! You've gotten way better, in backgrounds, and situations and scenes and everything really. c8 oh mannn yeah, landscapes and backgrounds and perspective are things I'll have try to focus on. D:

fffffffffffffffuuu i was hoping to meet up with you and other nzfurs

oh well i'm just butthurt

good luck trying to leave the fandom! XD

aw man yeah. :C haha thanks I'll need it xAx;

this makes me sad. BUT FAIR ENOUGH. your teacherous jurney shall be tracherous...here, take this cheese...

IT ISN'T SAFE TO GO ALONE
HERE, TAKE THIS

Aww..I'll miss your artwork thats for certain..kinda wish i could've commissioned ya too. but hey do what feels right to you, yeah some people say "no stay please :C" but you have to do what feels right. *rat hugs*

Take care, and I hope the best for ya wherever you go.

Awww, okay Gunge :c I've gotta say a few things to you then

First off, you're the first or maybe one of the first people who I ever talked to on this website and I think the ultimate reason why I decided to stick around for as long as I have (and.. ultimately move here altogether WOOPS) It's been really cool watching your art develop over time and especially with how GOOD you've gotten I mean JESUS o____o
You're actually one of my favorite artists as well, and a huge stylistic influence/inspiration (SHH DON'T TELL ANYONE) and I look forward to seeing more stuff on yo tumblr, gurl <33 awesome having you here for this long~~

duuuude :( i'll miss you. i really, REALLY love and admire your artwork, i always have. you have an incredible talent and drive and i know you will do awesome things with it. i mean dude. you are SO GOOD.
i know i sound retarded but gosh you got skills.
if i may ask though, why do you want to just drop the fandom and run? i know you'd like to pursue other endeavors but, why not drop in every once in a while? only asking, not arguing :)
love ya bro

aw man thank you!! no that didn't sound retarded at all haha I know retarded :B
look to everyone else I kinda tried to convince myself of some good motive like 'learning to draw other things' bullshit but I just don't wanna do that anymore
I pussied out because my girlfriend doesn't like furries. I deleted a whole shitload of stuff from many websites out of paranoia and I guess I thought that if I distance myself from this fandom as much ads I can I can be deemed normal or something and people won't think I'm fucking dumb
I can't even bring myself to say furries anymore I just say 'people who pretend to be animals on the internet' it's fucking depressing as shit and I feel like I'm betratying everyone that gave me the light of day on here by pretending I hve nothing to do with them

I'm really really sorry I jumped and I am honeslty really really surpised that people actually really looked up to my stuff??? like I've always thought everyone just said I was good to be polite shit I STILL DO. And what isn't helping is that on tumblr you never get any fucking comments on ANYTHING it just brings down your self-esteem SO HARD after being in a community as loving as this one

wow my spelling i AM Sitting in a really dumb position right now and I can't be bothered moving sorry ahahaha

you were always one of the bst people I knew on here, I want oyu to know that. You were always SO DAMN APPRECIATIVE of EVERYTHING I DREW. like if I drew you something you were just so fucking happy and that always made my day, hell even stuff that I didn't draw specifically for you if you thought it was neat you'd tell the hell out of that shit it was just so kind and i CAN'T THANK YOU Enough hahah shit this caps lock this keyboard is weirdf as hell

this wholole paragraph sounds dumbesp. with this grammar and everything omg but I really mean it
thank you c:

aww that sucks your gf doesn't like furries :c makes me sad. it's a real bummer when your significant other doesn't share your POV regardless. ya know? i know what you mean about other people thinking your dumb for what you like, esp. when it comes to furries a lot of people don't seem to quite get it. i know there's those freaky furries out there but, i mean come on.. anyways though, normal is so over rated. it gets boring. until i was a certain age even though i wanted to act like an animal all the time i held it back. then i met another kid in school that did it too. my mom and dad got used to my weird behavior and animal antics, and tails etc; but other people had never been so accepting. my mom would tell me not to wear my tail out like to the mall etc, because she didn't want people to make fun of me.
but now i'm almost 25 and i just don't like pretending to be something i am not. i'm not trying to tell you what to do i'm just giving you some insight <3
it's not really betrayal, you aren't hurting us or doing anything mean at all. the thing i would get really sad about is if you deleted your art or your FA. i'd be really sad if i couldn't see your art or say hi every one in a while.
if you feel like it's the best thing to do then i support you. i just don't want you to be abandoning a fandom that you enjoy and want to be a part of. we all support you regardless :)

i understand your points there for sure; for instance on DA before (when i had one) i got little to NO recognition or anything. i even did all this dumb gift art for people in hopes of being accepted or liked. but i got tired of that community (i hate it!) and left, found Furocity, then FA, but this site by far has been the best. sure there are some trolls and jerks but mostly everyone here is so supportive and non-judgemental.

LOL it's okay XD

oh gosh you don't even know how awesome you made me feel right now. like seriously. it's true though your art is amazing and i hope you always pursue it, like i said you will do great things.
i like to show appreciation for stuff drawn for me (and art in general), i know what its like to have your art and effort ignored and i hate for other people to feel that way. i just want you (and others as well) to know how awesome they are and to never ever give up. and you have always been one of my favorites too. just promise me you won't leave forever, yeah?

also did you happen to see this pic i drew : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7285709
you're in there on the right side, i hope you like :)
don't trip on the grammar etc, i'm not doing so well at it either :P haha.
you are VERY welcome dude, and from the bottom of my heart, thank YOU.:)

I agree on every word there omg
Definitely not giving up on the art, don't worry! :,D It's the only thing I do, and I'm really proud of it most of the time tbh ergjijgj
I do that too, the trying to give people acknowledgement for their work, whenever I did on here people were so appreciative! c8 On Tumblr you don't have the comment stuff, just reblogs and I guess people don't want to make a huge deal about replying to comments especially if they get a lot,,
I did!! 8D It's so good, all that detail oh my GOD IT'S GREAT DGDH. Thank you for including Gunge! I keep imagining he's actually just a head, and the folk next to him is just sorta holding him after he kept wailing that he couldn't see for a while ahaha
I can't words at the moment pffff

awesome that is so good to hear *WHEW*
and yeah totally feel you on that. i love FA, there's the trolls of course but other than that everyone here is so supportive :>
awww pfffffff gosh!! thank you so much!! and that... THAT is hilarious! omg i didn't even think of that but that is so epic XD XD XD
and you are so welcome c:

As long as your reasons for leaving are your own. Being officially old now, I can say I've done plenty of things in life to be accepted by others or to seem more 'normal' someway. It's not worth it just based on that alone. If friends/loved ones don't accept you for who you are, then fuck 'em. Be who you are, not what others feel more comfortable with. If they don't accept it, too bad for them. Take no guff from anyone.

All that being said tho, if you feel the time has come to move on, then all the best to you in whatever you do. Go where your heart leads you and don't be afraid of making mistakes. You have a strong enough presence of personality that I'm sure you'll do well.

Qaplah!

I'm one of those people that honestly won't leave just because I like drawing animals too much....although sometimes I kinda wish I could. This place can really suck.
And if anyone in your life doesn't liek that you draw animal people, that's not really--in my opinion--a good reason to give up something! They should respect you for who you are, man, and if they aren't comfortable with Disney-esque animals on two legs on pads of paper, tough cookies.
HOWEVER If you're simply tired of drawing it, that's totally fine. I hope you'll decide in time to share your people art on here ;-; even though FA's a furry site in name there's a lot of human, etc. artists on here too <3
And if not, that's fine too. Either way, keep on truckin'.
<333
AND WHY DIDN'T I TALK TO YOU MORE? GUH YOU'RE COOL AND I'M LAME FOR NOT TALKING TO YOU Dx
