Removing Gene the human
8 years ago
I've made a lot of characters in my life, and a lot of those characters have stuck with me through all these years. Some, however, I've forgotten to time, never wanted to draw again, or even acknowledge. ...But there's one character I now want to forget more than anyone: Gene the human.
Gene is my take on the Kintaro legend, but uses more stereotypes than actual references. Kintaro NEVER had a pet bear. Bears were his enemy. I also cannot fit him into my story without making it childish. But that's not why I want to get rid of him. The reason I want to get rid of him is because...
...he's human.
...a human with compassion and kindness to other life.
...a concept that is slowly becoming foreign to me.
Friends, I have them RetroDragon, Incinermyn, Jacqueline Petsch, Music_Man... heck, most of the people here in the FA art forum are truly nice people. ...But almost anywhere else I go, I have a problem I want to get off my chest, and I'm looking for people to help make this problem better. ...People INSIST on making it WORSE.
I look for...
-What we do to truly help animals that isn't hunting.
-The better traits of non-humans and proof that we're not all narcissistic.
-Evidence of animals coming back from endangerment.
-When animal cruelty is absolutely wrong and no one can defend it.
-A sign the world is getting better outside nature.
...Instead, I get...
-Animals are mindless beasts!
-We're doing nothing wrong!
-HUNTING IS ****ING ANGELIC, AND I'M GOING TO SHOVE THIS DOWN YOUR ****ING THROAT TILL YOU FINALLY BELIEVE THIS!!!
...Exactly the kind of stuff that makes me feel worse about being a human. I'm at the point of just giving up because no one wants to help me. No one wants me to see the good in life. I just want SOME ONE to help me see the good side of life.
Note: if you come here to do the latter, you will be immediately blocked. I don't care what your argument is in favor of humans and labeling animals as worthless creatures, I've heard every ****ing argument already and I'm sick of it. I'll never accept hunting, so don't waste your time in trying to do so.

I know I can't draw humans that well but I do have a character in the back of mind who reminds me of something special.
