Just heard about the Tyra Banks show. Saw the clip in question online: http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=66909

Firstly I want to express my overall disgust that this kind of show exists. My god, what drivel! No wonder the average US citizen gets a reputation for having the IQ equivalent to a brick.

I would also like to express my delight at having a couple of furries confident enough to show up on a TV show of some kind, even if it was in this context.

Now then, I can understand why furries are generally quite reactionary towards criticism because there is a lot of it and a lot of misrepresentation. However, the over reactions to tend to fan the flames a bit. This causes more criticism and more reaction.

I would like to undertake a study into this effect if I could somehow devise a numerical measure for this. It seems to be an interesting example of feedback loops and chaos theory. TV shows seem to provide perturbations although I would think they are indeed related to the whole cycle...

I suspect most of the drama is due to the large amount of confused 13-17 year old kids finding their way to the fandom and the highly socially inept among us making prominent entries on the web and statements in other places. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Contempt, expressing his contempt.

Hello folks. I have noticed I haven't done much on this account in a while. I've been busy with life. I am looking for work now. Kind of depressing really that uni life is over.

I shall also be submitting more pics. I have a number that have built up over the course of time.


Anyone looking for a C++ programmer with DirectX knowledge?

Well it is done.
My assignments for this year have all been handed in and I have ha completed the first clear out of my gallery since I joined..

All that I have to do is get though a week with my family :P and create some new, better stuff to upload.
Anyone god any neat ideas for my drawings for 2009?

Have a great Christmas and new year celebration!

... if you like old crap.

It has come to my attention that allot of the stuff I have in my gallery is in fact just embarrassing shit I would be embarrassed to show to even a corpse.

At the end of next week I will be removing all stuff made before 2008 and any stuff from this year which I deem to be shitty (probably most of it).

Basically, if you want to continue to look at my older or crappier pics then save them between now and Thursday next week (why would you? I'd like to know, write in and tell me, I could do with a laugh.).

Note: This includes all of my more dodgy pics (red bordered ones)

That's right.
Contempt is now open to taking commissions from one and all!

Prices range from £1 for a line drawing icon for IM programs, steam, etc to £10 for a coloured full character pic.

Get ordering!

Would you guys want infrequent submission of inked/coloured stuff or more regular submissions of pencil stuff?

I ask because inking and colouring takes me forever to look acceptable. I have a masters degree to do this year so I have little time for non-project work which is mainly programming and essay writing.

Heh, someone could volunteer to do the post pencil work if they like :P

Cheers

Hay there. I haven't submitted something in quite a while. I really have not really had much idea what to draw in between the stuff I've been up to.

What do you want to see more of? Hyenas/gnolls? Sexy stuff, what kind? Both? Some kind of comic? Anything else?

I am open to suggestions. You can request images you yourselves but bare in mind I will probably take forever to do them. Drawing other peoples stuff doesn't come naturally to me :/

Hay there. This journal needs an update.

I arrived back on Monday from Download festival in Doningtion Park. For those that don't know what that is it is a rock/metal music festival that used to be called Monsters Of Rock back in the day. It was a 3 day mass of awesome music, merchandise, expensive food, dust, weed and booze.

It was awesome. I managed to see the likes of Kiss, Judas Priest, Saxon, The Offspring, Firewind, Disturbed, Skindred, Amon Amarth and Children Of Bodom.

I wish I was still there... :P

Tonight I have the honour of announcing my awesome socializing with the lead programmer and tech manager of Crytek.

They were Hungarian and at my uni for a game developers conference.
It was awesome and they are cool dudes to hang out with.

I also got into a good political debate with the dude behind LOVE. An MMORPG.

Yays for game developers

Right, that is my backlog of gnoll/hyena art submitted.
Now I can start to upload new, fresh, hot-off-the-scanner/photoshop art.
Watch this space.

This be my account for my hyena arts.
