Why Many Abandon The Furry Fandom
Posted 8 years agoThe furry fandom is not tolerant nor is it accepting. Hard truth.
A friend of mine,
Naskatan made this video, its worth the listen.
Don't you love it when...
Posted 8 years agoDont you love it when you get blocked by an artist you watch and have no idea why, especially since you love their artwork but FA feels like when you're blocked you can't even fav the artwork rendering watching them useless?
Again i am unsure why I was even blocked. Trying to fav art is what made me find out. Guess I've just been a bad bunny by doing...uuuh...something offensive probably.
Welp. Been needing to cut out some of the people on my watch list anyway. I get way too many notifications lol.
I have a problem
Posted 8 years agoI check FA and nearly everyday since I started here.
Its become part of my daily routine.
Send halp!
And panties.
Reguarding Artists
Posted 8 years ago
TheBlackRook said something that I entirely understand and can get behind. This mirrors my views to a tee.
"If I'm being completely honest, my experience with hiring other artists has been more negative than positive. More times than not I've been treated with unprofessionalism, disrespect, lack of work ethic and sometimes a general callous lack of care or concern for my money, my project, and my situations. I find this entirely frustrating because an artist is the very first to want you to care about their situations, their work, them. When they need money for whatever situation, they move, they have a life crisis, they have a spouse hurt; they want you to help out. They want your concern and your care. If they owe you a commission. They want your understanding. They want your patience. But I've observed that they don't feel like they got to mirror back that decency to their commissioners.
Let us say a commissioner doesn't pay on time. Would an artist accept excuses on not being paid? Hell no! You ain't got the money, they're not doing your commission. Next person who wants one. Come back when you have money. I've never been in a situation where I've not been able to pay for something I purchase, and I subcontracted a lot of artists for my project. But I have had the rare occasion where I've ordered a commission and then something came up and I forgot to finalize it. Forgot to send the information, forgot to send my PayPal to be invoiced. Every time, every artist is like, tough luck buddy. If you really wanted the commission you'd be punctual. Or your life issues or what you're dealing with is not my concern, they gotta make they money. I ain't got a problem with that. What I got a problem with is them turning around and asking not to be treated like trash for not doing their damn jobs and giving a million and one excuses to why they haven't done their damn jobs and then expecting people to care about their situations; when they obviously don't give a shit about anyone else.
In my experience, I've had artist take, months, even years to complete a task. All while working on personal art, commissions to live and any and everything else that takes they fancy outside of what they are paid to do. They want you to be understanding and patient with them, but the question I have to ask myself after years of doing this is... do they deserve that. You hear all these artists bemoaning commissioners who aren't patient, who rush them. Who hover around every day until they work is done. But, in my experience, the alternative; patience and faith are not rewarded. Ten out of ten artists are gonna bemoan that they aren't like that and that they would punish or refund a commissioner who is stressing them out and not giving them space. This is the same fucking artist who would be furious if they were paid a day late. I know art takes time, I do this for a living. But come off that bullshit, sometimes you're just not working on their shit and you don't want to be bothered. Sometimes you're not feeling like working on their shit and you do everything but, and you don't want to be called on it.
The most common response I get to dealing with unprofessionalism here on FA is that, it's FA; what do you expect from furry artists? Let's examine that for a moment. The second you take money for a job you are not an amateur anymore. It's just like sports. An amateur does not get paid to play. You lose amateur status the second you start demanding to be paid for your work. You are a professional then. You are inexperienced, but you are a professional. There isn't a time that someone should expect you to be unprofessional because of that inexperience, because you would accept nothing less than to have your TOS followed, your money paid on time and in the manner in which you demanded it, and for your commissioners to wait patiently with their thumbs up their ass for you to finish what you working on and then finally get to them. Worse you have the artist who obviously rushes or do the easiest form of whatever to get an image done. Especially in response to being behind, whether they are physically pressured or not. They swear up and down that they didn't rush or fuck about with the commission, but that isn't the point. You make someone wait six months to a year for you to do some shit you do not give them the same pic you shit out an hour to people who didn't have to be patient with your ass. You respect the time you've taken. What does that wait mean if you ain't giving it everything you got. Nothing... it should mean something. Especially since you got no problem getting up on FA and asking for sympathy and empathy when shit doesn't go your way. When life's got you down.
I think the way most artists treat they commissioners is fucking appalling. And my experience is that more often than not, the patient understanding commissioner is not what these artists deserve. They abuse it, they take advantage. Sure they won't think they are, but they are. And they don't give a shit about what they put these commissioners through or they life situation. But they shamelessly expect others to do the same. It's interesting cause int he back of their mind they marginalize their commissioners. Well if I fuck over one or two of them, I'm not a bad person, cause I'm still going to be good to these others. Unless something similar happens. There's always new commissioners to take up for ones they mistreated, so they don't have to worry about losing money and that's all they really care about. So yeah, hard as fuck to respect my peers. Hard as fuck. Cause at the end of the day, when you expect to be treated with dignity and integrity but don't respond in kind that's a shitty thing. And I've dealt with hundreds of artists in my time. I'm not unique, I'm not a rare occurance. And trust me, it ain't me. I know we going to have devils advocates out their, but cut the shit and save it. You all know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. Don't fucking front."
Now I am not naming names but I am sure you know which artists I could refer this to and I'm sure you know some of your own.
There is a serious lack of ethics and care for commissioners who expect it but rarely give it in return. Something needs to be done.
Sarahah, anon messages.
Posted 8 years agoI see a lot of people doing these so I figured I'd join in.
I guess gimma a comment, criticism or hate mail here. I dont mind what it is.
Https://thezackrabbit.sarahah.com
Edit: if you ask a question i cant directly respond
Diaper Furs. A question.
Posted 8 years agoSo over the years of being on FA i noticed i often get watched by furs into ABDL kinks. Now don't fret I ain't gunna kink shame you I have no disgust for the fetish. I have had friends both online and IRL who were avid into it.
My question is what makes you like my character? I have never been depicted in such a way. And I generally avoid anything too hardcore in any fashion. Generally. I never have had an affinity for the kink either (nor does it bother me like I said).
I take time to browse every one of my watchers galleries and its a trend I noticed and it got me curious.
Let me know. And thanks for watching me I appreciate all of you.
Artist needed for idea
Posted 8 years agoI have a bondage themed straight lewd idea and i need someone who is okay with that :P it's also a little incesty cause the other person is a bunny cousin.
So the idea is Zacky sitting up and his cuz in his lap face to face, their collars chained together, leather cuffs together, arms at their chests, and their ankles together.
Zacky is being ridden by his cuz both blushing and maybe a camera type of border with a quote saying how theyre pervs for doing lewds with their cousin.
A sfw version too but his cousin would be in panties sitting on his lap instead of the aforementioned intercourse
We can discuss further if you're interested. Refs and outfit ideas as well.
I will pay of course dont worry.
Thanks,
Zacky

Commission Quicksand and what NOT to do
Posted 8 years agoAs you all know I often make it known how I feel about customer service regarding commissioners and their artists and how there needs to be more responsibility on the artists ends.
We only ever hear about the bad from commissioners and artists rarely receive criticism due to either their popularity or lack of courage from their commissioners. In doing so we have artists in situations that neither they nor their commissioners would want.
Earlier today an artist and friend of mine
theBlackRook made a post saying what I have been trying to say and in kinder words than I could muster. I encourage a read by any artist be they new, old, experienced or inexperienced in commissioning.
"This one is more to my fellow artist and not to the fans and the commissioners. I hire and work with a ton of people on my projects, as I alone, and even with
lavenderpandy as my partner cannot possibly do all the art and work necessary to expand the project, story and art like necessary. Look at sites like Hard Blush, Clubstripes and others. There's a reason these sites hire both freelancers and full-time contributors. I bring this up to let you know that both out of pocket and with assisted funding from fans and patrons I support the fandom by hiring artists to do a ton of work. I spend thousands and get hundreds of commissions. It informs the way I conduct my own business and commissions, it also has given me a great idea of some of the unprofessionalism and lack of maturity facing commissioners and those who take commissions. Today I want to focus on something I call Commission Quicksand.
Commission Quicksand is when you take on either a big commission or many commissions and then you have either one or many unforeseen issues that cause you to have to take more commissions on top of what you already have. With those commissions on top of whatever big or plentiful assignments you already have on your docket you are also under the obligation to handle your normal everyday bills and expenses causing you to have to take more commissions to take care of yourself, as this continues your older commissions become neglected, patient commissioners are made to wait without reward and your task as an artist becomes quite a great deal more daunting. The prospect of speaking to those who are waiting for you becomes anxiety inducing and the idea of getting the work done gets more and more depressing. Pretty soon you begin to make excuses for yourself, cordoning off the hardest of the work you need to do and putting it on the back burner. You keep telling yourself you will get to it, but the work keeps piling up and every interaction with the commissioner becomes more and more nerve racking until it eventually leads to annoyance, anger, and resentment. All of which the commissioner does not deserve. You find in big or difficult projects an artists will often say; 'This was too hard.' or 'It was more than I can handle'; these are both excuses and a sign of lack of professionalism and maturity. If the thing was too hard or something you couldn't handle, you would have attempts and sketches and things to show you tried and failed. Just not being able to bring yourself to try or put pen to tablet doesn't make the paid commission too hard. You got to try to lift something to know how heavy it is. Sometimes it's lack of focus or commitment to what seems like a daunting task, now that so much time has past.
Falling into Commission Quicksand does not make an artist immature, unprofessional or irresponsible. Those things come about with how they handle that adversity that arises from commission quicksand. I'm here to tell you from someone who is in it and is constantly dealt with it the things you do not want to do and how you can help yourself get along.
1. Be honest; be available, be understanding...
Someone paid you in good faith. When you start getting up to six months or more without doing a commission or showing the progress you got to remember that these people have a right to want to know what's going on with the money they invested into you and the art you're supposed to do. Also, you know you owe these people art; how dare you resent them for asking; especially when you aren't coming to them with an update. I know it's disheartening to tell someone over and over you got nothing, but you got to swallow that pill and talk to them. Be honest about your progress and be available to update them. Make it a point every so often to go and talk to them if you can, even if you have nothing to show. Too many of us try to avoid the commissioners til we have something to show and that lack of contact and explanation is what breeds resentment. Understand that not only do they deserve to know, but they deserve an explanation and most people want the art more than they want the money. As long as you aren't a dick and are willing to compensate them for that wait time, they will generally be positive. They paid you the money cause they wanted art from you, there are hundreds of different artist they could have hired. They hired you, that should humble you.
2. Don't get a damn attitude and don't make assumptions
From the moment someone who you owe a commission speaks to you, some artist who owe commissions are off put. If the commissioner says hello, hows your day; and starts with polite small talk. You get mad because they are beating around the bush. No, they are in a very awkward situation and don't want to be rude by just coming out and saying, 'Where the fuck is what I paid for!'. Likewise, if they lead with, 'Hey, can I get an update.' You want to get upset cause that's all they wanted, this is especially if they speak to you in real time; like on skype or discord. They want to hear from you, personally. It's their right. Name something you bought that you didn't receive or didn't work right that you were happy to talk to a machine about. You called the company and was pissed at the automated menu and mashed zero until you got to talk to a person. You think your commissioners don't want to talk to a person? You are behind, it may be your fault, it may not be... that's not your commissioners' fault; don't make it their problem.
3. Manage Your Fucking Time Better
Come on buddy. I work with a lot of artists who forget that I too am an artist. An artist with an injury that slows down all of his work and has to wait for his partner to color things because a mouse doesn't have pen pressure. So trust me, I've got a realistic idea of how long things should work for those of you who are not handicapped. And as an artist myself, I know a lot of us don't manage our time very well. Some artists don't have a set schedule and cannot bring themselves to work if they aren't 'Feeling it'. But the truth is, a lot of people could get a lot more work done if they just dragged they tablet into the bathroom and worked when they took a shit. Some of us aren't very well self-motivated. Some of us have some issues with depression, anxiety and all sorts of issues that cannot be quantified for others understanding. All of these are valid and do truly and honestly impact our productivity. With that said, I'm still 100 percent certain most artist, myself included don't fucking manage they time as well as they should. This is going to be one you got to look in the mirror and admit to yourself.
4. Do Your Best
Don't let a fucking year pass on a commission and then throw up something just to get it done and over with. Appreciate the wait your commissioner has and do your best. I'm not the best artist, I've not got the skills some other artists have. But I do my best and I try to do better if someone has to wait for me. And no, it's not just them getting work now that you've improved over time and don't ever say; 'Well I'm better now and I've increased my price since you bought this,' like that's giving them a fucking deal. That's some truly arrogant shit. I hope you know that. They deserve your best work, especially the patient ones who you let their commissions go undrawn because they didn't complain and you just focused on getting the ones who pestered you off your back.
5. Seek Help
We all have artist friends and though we do have some issues, it's okay to ask for help. Especially if you are behind. When I'm having an issue on an image and it's taking too long, I have friends I ask to take a look at it. 'Hey, this hand doesn't look right and I been at it for days.' 'Hey, can you red line this sketch to make sure it's right, I been taking too long and I just need to make sure it gets right.' I know we all have our pride and I understand that and we want to get it for ourselves, but sometimes you got to realize no man is an island, and you owe it to your commissioners to do everything in your power to get them the best image possible within a reasonable time frame. And when you're late, you need to ask yourself how best you can do that. The community is full of artist and peers who have skills beyond me and I'm not ashamed to double check myself if I feel I'm taking to long on something I'm not particularly sure about. I've found that for every self-absorbed asshole in the fandom, there are two or three people who generally believe in the community and it's ability to teach, assist and make us all better artist. If you need to, reach out. Your commissioners deserve the best that you can do for them."
Equation Math Time!
Posted 8 years agoSo from my last journal I decided to show everyone my equation to figure out how much Youtube Subscribers you'd have if your watchers were your subscribers.
For anyone that's interested or curious of course.
X = Your FA Watches.
Y =
Wolfy-nail's watches
P% = Your percentage of watchers
A = PewDiePie's Youtube Subscriptions
B = Your equivalent Subscriptions
So the equation is simple.
(x/y) * 100 = P%
then.
(P% * A) / 100 = B
Got Bored Got Curious
Posted 8 years agoSo I did some math. The highest subscribed to on FA is Wolfy-nail. with 75,950. The Highest on Youtube is PewDiePie with 52,751,511.
I have 2,147 subs on FA. which is 2.83% of Wolfy-nail.
To compare to how popular I'd be on Youtube with PewDiePie I'd have the equivalent of 1,492,868 subscribers on Youtube.
So as it stands. I would be considered a Gold Plaque user on FA.
See what happens when I have a bout of boredom?
This isnt meant to be pretentious or braggy or anything. I just wanted people to know how big of a deal it was to get over 2k watches on FA.
Thanks again everyone for taking the time out of your day to have a gander at the shit I commission!
Edit: If you'd like to know where you'd be in comparison let me know. I'll plug you into my equation
Question To Artists.
Posted 8 years agoDo you genuinely like to draw furry stuff? Or if its porn do you genuinely enjoy that or do you only do it cause it pays your bills?
I ask cause I don't want to destroy an artist's joy of drawing because i want something lewd haha.
Some artists on FA be like.

Vent Art?
Posted 9 years agoYa know, I dont really have any vent art. So I have been thinking about getting some. But it would be a entirely different character used.
It would be an AI version of Zacky of course. a Rabbot, if you will, Maybe with a broken visor and such. To better represent my more negative aspects of my person. The more asocial, hatred of everyone, fear of being obsolete, the outcasted old model, overloaded in emotion despite being an AI.
I wanna do this. Just need to find an artist. I doubt these would ever be anything lewd.

Waiting Too Long On Artists
Posted 9 years agoI don't know what is going on. But I have been waiting far too long for artwork from people I paid for. And it snot just one or two of them. It's over half of them. I dont get much of a word form them on this either so I end up having to ask what is going on.
I dont want to sound bitchy or whatever cause I know people defend artists no matter what. But...
I fucking PAID for this shit months ago. Hop to it!
inb4 "but they have a life, and shit happens n stuff!" I know...i fucking know. communication however is helpful. Don't just make a journal, send them a message. be professional.
Done ranting. Hate me down below
