All Aboard The Hate Train
8 years ago
General
Hey folks, we all hate certain things about certain art and you know you always think about it when you see it.
I've done this before slightly differently but this time I'm coming from a different perspective, that perspective being the little niggles that bug you about this or any other page (please don't name names unless it's me). What is it about furry porn that takes you out of the love for it? Certain traits, expressions, attitudes, poses, positions, anything that grinds your gears or takes you away from the piece. Is it the porn itself?
I like understanding things at a fundamental level and all I really know about furries is that they like seeing genitals, and that's the same for every art community. I don't really know what people dislike and I like general consensuses.
Don't worry about my feelings, they won't get hurt. Be as harsh as you want and tell me what you hate.
Probably won't get more than a few comments here if any but don't let it discourage you, you can send a hate note if you got something you don't like.

FA+

Another thing is overly large 'cute' eyes. Often pushes characters into the realm of cartoons/mascots to me and can really detract from a realistically attractive character.
I myself have the opposite problem where I feel like I understand how pussies work and how they're placed but I still don't have a full grasp on sheaths or the intricate parts of the penis. You need to know how something exists to draw it well and learning from other people's drawings doesn't really do that.
I'm also still trying to find a good way to draw the eyes, I know I've ended up with that "cute eyes" problem before.
That and what Cragger said
Anime style cheeses out a lot in details. Which is why it gets pumped out a lot.
A simple example is the mouths. Drawn on the side of ones face. And it's worse when used on furs, how the make the snout point to one side even though you're supposed to be looking straight forward.
1) Every Male/Shemale/Hermaphrodite has to have an incredibly oversized penis. It is like the only way people can express dominance is with her penis size. Why does one need peni over ten inches on Anthro character. A human is well endowed with everything above seven inches. Yet furries need to have 16+ cocks on six feet tall characters. Why? It makes them immediately disgusting
2) Flawless/Perfection
Every male is ripped or fetishized fat. No average person is depicted. Same with females, slender or toned, perfectly curvy and giant breasts ( as mentioned above: Gravity, what is this stuff? ). Why aren't there more realistically older characters, people who are chubby, maybe aren't the most pretty around but more of a real life depction. I want to see flaws, missing fingers, eyes. Glasses in non-sexualized manners. It feels just like the fandom takes placed at a fashion show with models and ripped guys.
3) Defying Realism
A twenty inch penis entering an average female with visibly bulging out stomacht. Bathtubs filled with cum spilling out etc. Sorry your art can be perfect and appealing but the motive makes me turn away immediately without thinking twice. Same with "Oh my character is sixty years old and looks like 22" what, ever heard of aging? It will happen and staying in shape will become difficult even if you try hard.
4) Colors
Rainbow characters, neon fur etc.
5) Cute, Everything NEEDS TO BE CUTE
Why can't one show an average depiciton of a character. Sort of as if in a anthropomorphic world an artist sketches a random passerby? No everyone needs big eyes, blushes, cute and soft facial features. They need to be happy and joyful, strike perfect poses.
6) Odd Mixtures
Human facial features but the fully body of a anthro? Bipedal on an anthro derived from digitgrade species. ugh
