I forgot to do this when he joined, but I would really beseech y'all to have a gander at the work of
tendrak! He's primarily an anime artist, but he does great things with furries, I find, and his stuff is fun to look at on the whole. :]
Also, I don't give a damn about Valentine's Day anymore. So! A whatif question:
Let's say a colony of anthropomorphic people were found, or landed, or just appeared on this modern day Earth of ours. What would be their fate, in your mind? What social problems would they have to overcome? And finally, how long would it take, if ever, for them to integrate with our society?
Or, for simpler, more relevant minds: What characters would you like to see me draw more of?

FA+

Well, that would depend upon WHERE they appeared, wouldn't it? If it were someplace like the Gaza strip, they'd probably be killed as devils, in China? Wind up in cells somewhere to be experimented upon.
Hell, that'd probably happen to them in any 'Modern' country...
It all depends on where they show, and who gets to them first. The only real defense would be to get it on the news as soon as possible before a coverup could be implemented, no?
*Scratches his head.*
*Ponders*
TANKS! A MECHANIZED FREEDOM FIGHTER BRIGADE TO GRIND THE SWATBOTS BENEATH THEIR MIGHTY TREADS OF LIBERTY!
According to current history, Mobius IS Planet of the Apes, only without teh Apes. O_O *Goes Charleton Heston.* YOU MANIAAACS!
DAMN YOU ALL TO HELLLL!
I rather like it in Beneath where Heston sets off that planet destroyer and kills everyone. What an ending!
But I do know one thing: If there was a nice anthro girl who fell in love with me whilst in some sort of study or program, she's totally in. THE HAIRLESS APE WOMEN HAD THEIR CHANCE. : |
Valentine's Day was fun, Nori, and I seriously mean it. XD
As far As characters..well besides saying I`d love to see you draw me more ;) I suppose among characters you might actually draw..I`d say Tails and some of the other Sonic girls ( I mean just from the comics and animations theres like dozens of hotties.and from the games theres Rouge,Tikal,Amy,Vanilla and Cream {if aged no pedo art please}, and newcomer Marine with her motor mouth.
How far will the government go for alien goodies to give them an advantage over everyone else?
But to assume that technological advancement will bring victory in itself is a mistake along the lines of ohhh..Vietnam, Little Bighorn, and various skirmishes between the Spanish and 'Savages'
Conspiracy theorists will have got wind of something bigger than a meteor hitting the Earth and will be rallying the troops of animal rights activists and anyone else interested in taking down the higher authorities. There will be mass demonstrations at all of the major political buildings across the world and people will become paranoid as to what is here.
The anthros in the meantime will see the kidnapping as an attack on them and so will call re-enforcements. There is no way that the government can cope with the sheer amount of ships that land and so news gets spread of the 'invasion'. The anthros state their intentions that they want their people back and the peoples of the countries are with them. The governments have to bow to the pressure and so have to release them. As for afterwards, no idea and I've talked for too long.
As for your other question, I love seeing what you come up with so draw what you like. And I haven't forgotten about the gift art for you. Things have been hectic to say the least x.x
Hey, don't sweat it. I'm just humbled by anyone giving me gift art at all. :3
Just the question remains...why would anyone visit earth intentionally?
This reminds me of a Gary Larson cartoon where two aliens were standing beside a saucer, one peering in the dome atop as the other watched a crowd coming from the distance. "Okay, here they come, you explain the keys are locked inside."
It's not as though we don't have the nukes to spare, and the paranoid fools willing to use them.
Also, 90% of the problems in Star Trek arise not from them being outgunned, but rather because they don't *want* to blow the holy hell out of the primitives giving them a hard time, and want to find a peaceful solution.
In the scenario Norithics is postulating, the furries are going to be outnumbered, and quite likely outgunned as well. Given that they are supposed to integrate with our society, there is apparently something, be it that they came here accidentally through a tear in space-time, or their ship has become inoperable to make retreat an impossible option.
I really, really don't like to think about what'd happen to furries that appear to have technological superiority. Fanatics tend to not care about the losses they take in human wave attacks to take down the 'evil invaders'.
Shocking to think that I might actually have a use for reporters! Though I'd rather try and get something like this in the Times or Post, people tend to put more credibility in papers than the internet or the idiot box.
TV just makes it into entertainment.
Newsprint is considerably more difficult to alter.
Way up.
And the government likes it that way.
Keep in mind that military technology is generally about ten to fifteen years ahead of the civilian curve.
And I would like you to draw my characters :D (nah that would be too easy :P)
Draw more Prostitutes Guild "Employees"
As for what you should draw more of, I'm not quite sure either. If you really need ideas, you're always free to draw some of my characters, like Chelsea or the Pirate Vixens. It might be interesting to see how you would render them. You could also draw some more pregnancy pics, and the stuff you did so far on the Prostitute's Guild looks pretty interesting. So I guess you could try that.
Hm! I might just do that, come to think of it.
The results could vary from, "Worshiped as gods" to "Killed on sight." With everything in between.
There's a reason that Starfleet has the Prime Directive.
As for pictures... Hmmm... I was really amused by your Tails/Tailsko sex pictures, more amusing sex series would be fun. ^_^
It'd sure be a loooong time before such a group could gain widespread respect as equals at the very least.
Assuming they had the technological/magical/psychic advantage to repell such first impression attacks, I'm still fairly certain that the ruling super powers would adopt an untrusting/borderline war attitude. Unlike 'people from the sky', half human/half animal hybrids have no special place in any religious text as far as I know; so they would probably only be greeted as gods in less organized tribal societies (and again, that's after they bring gifts and such. 'Freaks' just wandering about end up on pikes).
In short, a new furry race/nation would probably have to present the cure for cancer (for free) and promise some export of exceptional importance before any modern nation would open up and welcome them as trade partners and allies.
In my opinion, any 'new sentient life form' is going to meet this kind of opposition unless they present from the get-go a sort of power/superiority which implies they could wipe us off the fucking earth if they got upset. Grey midget aliens land on the white house lawn in a vehicle the size of a chevy truck, they're getting swept into a bunker for research at first sight. 12 foot tall purple space orges hover over the eastern seaboard in a ship the size of Manhattan, and we'll be negotiating peace and prosperity the second we have an open com channel.
Humanity is a bully, and like all bullies, we're cowards against anything we can't punch in the face and get away with it.
More than likely I've made my storylines pretty clear on the aspect of genetic engineering a race of anthros. Much like animals they'd be superior as far as strength and are just as smart as we train them.
In relation to the question though--
...if they just suddenly appeared with no explanation, they might be looked at with curiosity and secrecy instead of running up and greeting ourselves to them. People get killed and eaten that way (our scholars tell us this is pork! Very delicious, thank you!)
Once it goes public there is certain to be an outcry of those who dislike things that are different, and consider these creatures to be evil or some kind of hellspawn. Whether this race is civilized or not more than likely there'll be a large majority who'd fear them as savages or still prone to be 'wild' and could possibly attack.
... if they LANDED here however has so many other possibilities! Those privvy to the event would accept that they must be intelligent and civilized for they were intuitive enough to invent interstellar travel after all! IF in the event it was kept within a secret circle of people, they may have a chance of communicating effectively with mankind and might not decide we are not too war-like to open channels with.
But MIB said it best with the line 'a person is smart but people are stupid' and public knowledge would more than likely throw our society into a bit of chaos. Honestly, with all our up-to-the-second technology we can't even get breaking news straight! We'd have groups that shout end of the world, groups that declared these beings evil (God made Man in His image and doing so with an animal is flat out blasphemy bla bla bla), those who's spiritual beliefs are totally thrown for a loop now that we are not the only island in the universe that inhabits life, we are not the sacred chosen etc etc.. (I had a GREAT argument with someone who was a College teacher on how perfectly aligned we are to the Sun and there has to be a higher power who made us and positioned our planet so, made the perfect weather, oxygen mixture etc... MY argument is that I didn't think God was limited to science like he seemed to believe. He was successfully pissed off) I'd even think there'd be a 50/50 chance we'd declare war on the visitors but also an acceptance that if they have such advanced technology they more than likely have the technology to wipe us off the planet. So our military and our superiors would more than likely back down and wait....
Yes we'd have those who'd shout "INVASION!" and those who'd scream "EVIL!!" but overall if the alien landing was public we'd have more displayed curiousity than panic. There'd be the underlying tone of End of the World but I tend to think we'd be more accepting of an alien race than a land borne race.
If they're suspected as aliens, they'd all possibly be questioned about where they came from or their purpose. *Most* furries arent supposed to be evil, they're (supposedly) people just like us. They act as people, so there's good and bad. But there'd possibly be another segregation thing, like in the fifties with black people. But the laws against segregation ended like in the sixties, so there shouldn't be segregation, just acceptance. Before you know, there's gonna be like, furry gangs, furry corporations, and all sorts of crap. possibly half of each race would have to be eradicated to keep population down (hope
I'm not one of the victims).
As with art, it's your choice.
