You know, it takes a lot to get me overly frustrated when it comes to artwork, but this just pissed me off. Majorly.
I love art, I love drawing, and I love my style. If I think a work in progress is turning out well, I will show my Mum and Step Dad, to get their opinion on the progress and ask if there is anything I should change.
I'm thinking of limiting this only to my Mum now.
I was working on an anthro-wolf version of the Thin Man from Charlie's Angels, just to blow off steam from finally being done university for the summer and for my friend Loren. I had to pass it to Phil (Step-Dad) so he could see it, before he passed it on to my Mum. It went a little something like this:
Me: "Uhm, I wanted to show you guys something that I was working on last night. It's by far not even close to being done, but you know..." (At this point, I pased it to Phil)
Phil: "...It's a dog."
Me: "Uhm...yeah. You know that's my style..."
Phil: "It's a dog person. Why do you draw them? You should stop drawing these, and draw actual people. I mean, I GUESS it's good, as far as ... dog-people go."
Fuck. You. Fucking holier than thou, judgemental bastard.

But that's why FA is here, I guess? xP
...And then he pulls this shit.
Oh wait.

Well, don't let this sorta thing discourage you. Honestly, there actually is a large market for your kinda art, even -outside- the furry world! And it's not as though drawing your lovely dog-people doesn't give you transferable general-art skillz. :P
