Expansion Pack Designer | Registered: Sep 24, 2015 09:34
DeviantART is my main haunt (see my contact info below), but I decided it was time to expand. I'll be cross-posting some of my old DA work from there to here; if you know of anything there that you think I should post here, feel free to suggest it!

Expansion Packs
4 years ago
Those of you who've been watching me here on FA for a while have probably noticed something I decided to dabble in at one point: something I called "expansion packs".
An expansion pack, simply put, is a set of characters/concepts designed in mimicry of the style of a particular FurAffinity user. I design exactly the sort of things I think my target would design, using the exact same template they usually do, in such a way that my work would fit in with their work as naturally as possible. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all, and if nothing else, I'm good at imitation!
I pulled the name "expansion pack" from video gaming, as I couldn't think of a better name on my own. Of course, all my expansion packs thus far are text-only, as I'm a rotten artist.
How popular are my expansion packs? Well... the first one (for Ephraim225) was a hit, but every expansion pack after that (two for Ephraim225, one for TheArmadilloFan) has gone completely unacknowledged by the subjects of my imitation. This, compared with my less-than-perfect performance on CalexTheNeko's whodunnit last year (and I was so confident!), has got me afflicted with a nasty case of the can't-do-anything-rights.
Which brings me to the topic of my discussion: Would you like to see more "expansion packs" from me? Do you have any opinions on the expansion packs I've done so far? Would it be a viable commission option?
