Purnip, a furry? (And an introduction)
16 years ago
Hello. I'm Purnip. I'm 20 years old, I'm female, and I attend an art college full time as well as slack off when I'm not in class or doing homework. I have not become an official furry until Sept. 3rd 2009, when after a while of having a group of friends in the fandom I decided to cave into it. After all, I have always been a 'closet furry' so to speak. It was only a matter of time.
I hope to take commissions soon, but not before making a few art trades to get some work on this page for examples. I have canine tags I made for Wajas, a site that I have been a member of for two years, but I've never really delved into the drawing of anthro creatures. In fact, other than a character I was asked to draw once (and failed at) a year ago, Purnip would be my first successfully drawn anthro ever. I want to draw other creatures as well and perhaps gain a better understanding of the fandom. As you may well believe I have previously been subjected to the stereotype of furries. It doesn't help that before I admitted to being one I had been a frequent furry basher because of peer pressure. =P Never again though, now that I know it's not all fetish and whatnot.
I'm not likely to be getting/making a fursuit unless it's a Halloween costume. My step-mother is outwardly against furries and my mother would never ever let me forget how ridiculous she would think I am for being a part of it. I'd be better off telling the both of them I'm lesbian (no chance of that though; I like guys).
When I do open commissions I will post another journal entry indicating it. So far I'm still an average digital artist. I'm actually majoring in Fine Arts so it's actually a wonder that I picked up a tablet and made the effort to try it anyways. I'm actually thinking of making a webcomic in the near future, but it will not be a story-line comic. More like those one to three panel comics that give you a good chuckle every now and then; I'm not very committed. I should be. In a sanitarium somewhere. But I'm not.
Peace out

You being one of the fine artists that makes defines "fine" as in practiced and maintained. Most Fine artists produce drug induced concept nightmares not worthy of the term "art."
I was really pissed at the Senior fine arts show last year, I was horrified except for one artist who knew how to hold a pencil, and they were the only amazing artist there.
I'm just not comfortable with making conceptual art really...I only like pieces that really take some time.
You are well on your way to not being a crap fine artist. The current fine arts world places too much value on concept, and not nearly enough on hard work.
