This is a commission I did in 2013
I was given the freedom to pick between several subjects, including an owl and a sphinx, as long as the entire sequence was "cute"
I decided to go with the owl because mammal to bird transformations tend to be pretty freaky looking, so keeping the entire sequence cute was a pretty good challenge. But at the same time I wanted to include the sphinx, so I came up with the idea of a themed hoodie =P

Never did appreciate the pose on the right. It's awesome.
It does even get better the more I see this...
You know what absolutely killed me? I drew a multipage TF comic for which I did research osprey wings and try to imitate baby wing growth to try to match myself up against that piece of Bia you did for Moreau so long back - and my commissioner's requested me to keep it private.

Nah, a bit different. I approached her for an experiment - she's not actually a TF person, but we've talked about some TF dreams she'd had, so I know the subject matter isn't a complete turnoff - I wanted to do a TF of someone who wasn't a TF person; that way I could approach a longer, comic-book length with the storytelling rhythm of a short story instead of the rhythm of porn. You can testify what an incredible difference it makes - less than half of the drawings were of the TF itself. I remain super proud of the work I finished for it...
Comically, she mistook my 20-page estimate for a 2-page estimate, and gave me permission with the assumption that editing it would be a minor detail instead of a three-month commitment. Her explanation was that now that she was applying for real-ass jobs since I started and was panicking about people finding the furry stuff connected to a comic approximant of her real face...

I see
I know all the story about furries and stuff, but I still can't wrap my head around the Furries = Porn mentality. Unless there's actual porn involved, they're just anthropomorphic characters. Like Mickey Mouse!
Seriously, this is one of the reasons I'm happy I'm European

Hell, our kids' media used to be all about anthropomorphic animals, all I can think is that eventually the porn mentality overrode everything else. My own theory is that furries give us the anonymity people need to be open with sex in a way that we can't in our day-to-day lives... America was founded by Puritans who wanted their kids to not be influenced by the Dutch, Dutch traders trying to make money, and Englishmen looking to colonize and conquer. They built the society to follow, in which sex is subsumed into glorious conquest and the Protestant Work Ethic and all that. We have no time or patience for sex. And (as Fifty Shades pointed out) we're so desperate for sex that we'll read books and make movies about abusive relationships, we'll fuck Robin Hood if we have to, it's like you pop a balloon and all our libido gushes out at once uncontrollably. We can't let it out anyplace else. Hippies arrive, and we use it as an excuse for free love. If there's something that Americans can turn into rule 34, it's immediately and uncontrollably emporned, our sex urge comes out in the worst of places.... eh.
Speaking of "eh," the irony is that she's Canadian. x3

That makes some sense, sadly enough =(
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that type of mentality. I grew up in a culture where love and romance is taught since early childhood (seriously, half of our children songs are dedicated to that topic alone) and I don't think we're half that obsessed ^^;

Glad to know it makes a sad sort of sense.
Well, it's probably the exact opposite tactic as your kid's songs. We scrub sex out of every form of media we possibly can, so even into adulthood people don't know how it works. We're obsessed because it isn't taught, we create and pin hopes on the assumptions of sex we made up. And then we whip ourselves up into a panic about it, and nobody wants to stop us because fear means we buy penis supplements and whatnot. Sex in America is one-sided and misinformed enough for Men's Rights folk to believe (actual argument I've heard) "So what will women do in a few years when cheap temporary vasectomies essentially rip their control over their reproduction away? Start hanging out in bars begging for fertilization?" Like I said - we love sex but we're very, VERY fucked up about it.
Honestly, best summation of this country's current state was a Robert Evans column about "The Interview" and how they pulled it not because they were afraid of an attack, but because they knew the public would be afraid to go see the movie. "When we're afraid, it overrides everything -- even the principles we hold most dear. We don't need our own dictator; we'll toss out the whole Bill of Rights as quickly as we stress-eat a bag of Cheetos, as long as it calms us down."
I don't think you could top Bollywood for unrealistic fantasies of love - every single movie bar about three a year is about romance, in a country where arranged marriage is the norm. There's a strange irony to that... But yeah, your romantic kids' songs really weirded the fuck out of me when you sent me some. How many times can you work "corazao" into a song to begin with...
You know what is ironic, came up in discussion today? That the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts after leaving the Netherlands. The country that invented capitalism, religious tolerance, freedom of the press and the republic of confederated states (everything America likes to pride itself on inventing) had too much of those things for America's most famous and iconic group of colonists. That should tell you something about our fabled hypocrisy, we literally left a country for being too much like what we like to think of ourselves being...

We don't talk much about sex either, at least not as openly as we do with love (we don't want to traumatize kids before reaching sexual maturity ;p). But yeah, making a slow introduction, and teaching the social values that go along with it, is far healthier than ignoring the subject completely and treating it as the scariest, unholiest of taboos *somewhat ironic statement, considering we have over 900 years of Catholicism here*
To be honest that's not the most shocking story I've heard. I was far more stunned by the guy who was wanted to have sex with a women who didn't shave, but he was confused and horrified that he kept asking if it was actually hygienic to do the act when she had so much hair. Or the people who want to shut down Sex Ed classes on the grounds that would cause teens to start uncontrollably have sex, rather than teach them proper safety, health hazards and avoid unwanted pregnancies...
This insane amount of ignorance and paranoia is creating a generation of monsters
Bollywood doesn't reach this corner of the world, so I wouldn't know ^^;
For me what's more amazing in our songs is actually the amount of loss and pain written in-between the lines. For us love is pain and pain is love
Yeah, that's definitely ironic
