More from Cougr
t-bone's entrepreneur Dragon, Terry, strolling through a new acquisition, going over the files, deciding what changes need to be made, who stays and who gets downsized. Looks as if downsizing has started before any official announcements.Heck of a way to meet the new owner.

Oooh! This one looks awesome! I always liked when you drew pictures like this one, I especially remember one a few years back where a couple, or were they friends? walk down the hallway of a school with a similiar theme, was one of my favorite macro/micro pics for a long time and still is great to remember...I have to search for it when I get the chance.
Non personal stuff on the picture : I really love how you pulled of the perspective, it gives a nice feel for the scope of the situation and that the shrunken people can get just enough detail to still look interesting (no stick figures and so on, they are all easily distinguishable from one another)
Summary : Great work! I really like this one :D

1) True, but this is corporate downsizing, not a macro sized office building.
2) If a giant is more than 15 or so feet tall, he's already so thoroughly ignoring physics and the square/cube law that he might as well be considered invulnerable to conventional weaponry.
So what happens if you're beyond normal scale? I'm defining normal scale as anything under 8 foot tall (highest sustainable average height without severe health repercussions)
Your heart wouldn't be able to pump blood through your body because it's not big enough relative to your new scale. Your bones would shatter under your newfound weight. Your muscles would tear apart. And this is all at under 25 feet, let alone a hundred, five hundred or a mile.
Give this a watch.

Oh, I understand the whole concept of "might as well"; I *am* a dragon after all. We're pretty much everything at the same time!
But that concept has always been a double edged sword in my mind. For example, as powerful as they are, and with all the potential, magic, size, etc that dragons have, they're vulnerable to a weed... dragonsbane. It can actually kill them. Macros have no such balance. Once someone reaches beyond a certain size, NOTHING affects them. They can stand in the void of space which is cold enough to kill in 11 seconds. They don't need to breathe anymore. Or eat. They can produce infinite amounts of certain fluids without needing to replace them. They oddly become obsessed with killing or destroying anything smaller than themselves (this picture *kinda* can be excused for that, since he's not even supposed to be aware of people around him, which does happen when one is distracted).
The way I see it, when using the "might as well" scale, it should be kinda of like a see-saw. Put one thing on one side, then balance it with something on the other side. With macros, everything is on one side, with absolutely nothing counterbalancing it.

In a storytelling/plot scenario, you make good points. Not much of a gripping tale if everything is ridiculously one-sided.
Trouble here is that in my cases, I'm simply laying out a scene. While there may be some small lead-up into what the scene is about, it is still just a point in time where I'm drawing something I enjoy. What I enjoy is seeing a big ol' person(s) being exceedingly powerful around smaller folks and usually the environment of those smaller folks.
Looking for "balance" in my art is pretty much a hopeless cause. Kvetching about that lack of balance is pretty useless and patently silly.
If you're looking for plot and drama all that good storytelling stuff, you should stick to comics and actual written stories. You're certainly not going to find it in my art unless I'm trying to make a specific point with it. Pretty much everything you'll see from me is what I like and what will tweak the targets of my art.

Whoa, whoa, now!
It might seem like I'm complaining, but I'm really not. I've been into macro for a long time now; I just tend to like to think things out is all. Think of it as more of a discussion on the topic of macro than me complaining. I have no basis to complain in the first place; I didn't commission this, I'm just looking at it.
I'm not looking for plot or anything in your art (or furry art in general anymore; it's all pretty straightforward in what it is). I'm just talking about the concepts behind macro, and looking for some input, not trying to cause trouble.

Well, let's try to keep the discussion on the actual subject of the submission. Bringing up pet peeves about how no one has come up with a weapon to kill macros doesn't really fit on a picture of a boss strolling down the hall unknowingly stepping on shrunken employees. He's not even macro.
