A Furry Legend....
10 years ago
General
As a freshman teenager in the mid nineties trying to avoid bullies and fake friends in North Chicago, an odd classmate was showing me some random rule 34 pictures he printed out away from prying eyes. Later on, I've decided to skip lunch period and sneak into the empty computer labs to find out where they all came from.
It was during that time that I've stumbled upon VCL ( http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists ) and there were thousands upon thousands of artists there. Here I thought they were just major folders at the time and among my days of stealth searching, I came across four artists that had surprisingly shocked me. Not only to have a small yet growing interest to the art style later know as "furry," but gain an understanding of whatever strange liking that I've accepted so early in my life.
The very first legendary artist I ran across is Jay Naylor. Currently
Fisk
- His art style may seem sharp at first, but when it came to his character Fisk, there was no other badass feline than him. It was because of Jay, Fisk Black and his web comic Better Days that Frostcat came to be.
The second and third legendary artists goes to
guppy and EK-Goya currently known as 
elkit
- The both of them introduced my into the weird realm of the art style and later on as a majority that became real. From m/m f/f herms and even watersports, they have done it all. Now if only egg laying carnivorous plant traps exists. =~_^=
The final furry legendary artist has officially taken everything that I knew as a child and literally destroyed all barriers of imagination. Sadly, he is now, the late Doug Wigner -
justdoug
- His artwork has the most bizarre styles I have ever seen. The two well known staples of his style are herms and hyper. The moment he applied those two to Minerva Mink, my mind was outright shattered from what I've saw. And quite frankly, I became happy about it. His art series of Mall, Pup and Pandora became crazier from one picture to the next. As a hidden naughty secret, nothing pitched the tent more than the sketch of a torture shocked male fox being rammed (by his arms?) sitting on a hyper male horse.
Out of the four artists, Doug was the one I went back to the most to see what other crazy characters and ideas he would come up with next. He was indeed one of the greatest artists among many that has brought me closer to the fandom. You will surely be missed. It may now be nothing to the fandom that we have today, but from the bottom of this cool feline's heart...
Thank you for all that you have done.
