What does EVERYONE want to see? [Long Post]
9 years ago
Hey! I feel as if This may come off as attention grabby but its just an interest towards what we all or may think in the site.
I love valuable feedback so Il just let this journal entry be a mainstay for a while.
TLDR: Im trying to put a clear but general goal towards something I can work with that doesn't trample over my philosophies and interest but engages on peoples interest. Got any insight?
----
So ive done a bunch of drawings, not all uploaded but there are many.
Yett I feel like I should be doing alot more than I am because its pretty clear to me where I fall off and get lazy,
and where I get to work. My mind for some reason wants an objective that is not for my own sake, but rather others,
yet I despise the Idea of drawing something just to get attention (Specifically). Despite being NSFW :|
An example is seeing a flux of fanart for the next trendy show.
I can understand those artists loving the medium enough to make fanart for it, but there are artists that bank on the attention of the show.
And you can see it at times.
But no, This I hate doing, Ive done once or twice before and it really doesn't satisfy me.
Instead, I want an open clear message on what people like in a general term.
The most general term is probably, animal people, but lets be clear!...
I like making up stuff that is just not too familiar, It is why I fell in love with a certain genre
(That is not at all popular: Punk-Fantasy) because it has a base on how to think when making these types of creatures, worlds, whatever...
But I also understand (I mean that genre is not at all-) how it is not Appealing.
Alot of what it offers may come across as, random or ahead of its time. It is weird and fluid so its not that well defined yet.
But then again, I dont draw enough of them, and so I want to practice the ability to Draw more!
For example, I love Stranger Things (A TV show), but instead of making fan art of that, i rather research upon the mindsett, look, feeling
and philosophy to other shows like twin peaks, or gravity falls that also have the same US american supernatural element.
To me, the furry community draws themselves towards the exotic. An animal person really is an exotic idea, just look at Egyptian gods as evidence.
Not to mention, art in itself is exotic enough to let the furry community be the most engaging to it on the internet (From what ive seen). Even though they are usually
drawn torwards the exotic animal people more. But that is because its the more familiar area.
My Tefners are not any animal, but a familiarity to a select few, making them pretty cozy to work with and be seen by an audience.
Even Sergals are super familiar to animals enough for the community to endorse them.
I mean they are fucking cool as ever. But I want to make something also the audience want to see with full knowledge to a degree.
Yet I feel as if im skipping some fundamental things I could explore, or just insights im not seeing myself.
Something simple as not posting enough, or not making good art enough.
In the end it is just good art, like, good lines, good colours, good everything... A clear intent in the art.
Those get the most attention from what ive gathered and rightfully so.
But I cant get to being very good unless I make more! Hah :D
And so I ask for something, a suggestion or insight on what I can start on and think about more of when creating more art.
It can be anything, an insight im not aware of even.
Just a specific example, think: Should everything have fur on it? We know thats not true but those are the questions im asking myself when exploring.
You've probably seen anthro characters that have such skin tight fur that it may as well be... skin. Its like the artist forgot they have fur... yet the effect is OK.
So yeah, any insight you can give can be as wide as possible when it comes to making art, or what the art is to what you want to see, or what others want to see. I already have a grandiose idea, but im still waiting for surprises. It has all just been a long post version of http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7646822/.

Hybrids tend to be interesting and similar to making your own animals/creatinos. You take what is popular
Horses are popular
Foxes are popular
Therefore... Mix of horse fox into a Forse, hox, horxe, forxe, vulpquine(you get the idea)horse body fox head with paws instead of hooves, whatever.
Cats are popular, Camels aren't popular, therefore Camels(that's ca from Cat + mel from Camel heh, yeah, it's the same as camel, whatever). A cat with a hump. For a laugh, give it bat wings on it's fore legs. No bat logos though, because then you get in trouble with marvel(or the other one, whatever)
Otters are popular, make an otter with otter tails for breasts and a spare leg and webbed toes for a dick and "balls". Just for fun, give the leg a beak. Why not?
People pay attention to weird things while they'll ignore seemingly mundane things, even if those mundane things are creative.
I like seeing body modification or exaggerated intimate anatomy. Long nipples, labia, scrotums, sheaths, breasts, etc. Wide holes are fun, too. Nostril wide enough to fuck? yes. Urethra open and ready for play? sure. Uterus peaking out after trained to prolapse? sure. A clitoris as long as the woman's body? sounds good. Dick as big as a body? Be a bit more creative, those are a dime a bakers dozen.
More normal but often unseen.
Lactating females(or males) squirting milk over people.
Males having their prostate's milked
electrojacking a male to orgasm
orgasm denial play
insect parasites as erotic stimulation, ok, that one isn't exactly normal or pleasant, but it was fun to think of.
People pay attention to weird things while they'll ignore seemingly mundane things, even if those mundane things are creative.I find this very important, its not always true but it does come true often.
Also thanks for the list, there is always some things I forget...
Like... a long clitoris... I dont exactly know how that would look like other than a penis if it where long enough.
But it is interesting and placed in my list of things :P
A crappy one I drew https://www.furaffinity.net/view/15539044/ I made a longer version where it reaches the floor but never posted that one.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/15413609/ a balarina with one by Fragile
Im gonna cook something up soon from whatever small research I did.
Nothing extravagant but at least it is aware.
