"You see it all the time on furry websites, chat clients and Second Life. Perfectly sculpted bodies, thin-but-muscular or slim-yet-curvy builds, impossible body types. That NONE of us have in real life. If we do, we're in the vast minority.
So I challenge you, FA. Take a photo of yourself, fully clothed blah in your skivvies. Trace your blah type and marks blah, blemishes, blah and blah. Then blah blah character blah blah form. Let's see blah blah REAL blah FA blah."
lol crappy pic.

That does drive me insane that people do that. I try to make my character fit at best but not muscular. Although I guess that's not quite right as I'm not like that at all, but to be fair, I don't consider my character to be me.
But you know, if people wanted any part of reality, there wouldn't be the internet.

Welles was a movie director best known for the classic "Citizen Kane", thought by many critics to be the best movie in history. As a result of his sedentary lifestyle sent writing and directing radio plays and movies, he was extremely overweight. His voice sounds exactly like Maurice LaMarche ("Brain" from Pinky and the Brain).
You're right- maybe he's not so well-known to people living today. I guess maybe Chris Farley or Jack Black would be a better example of the kind of body type most musclefur artists have.
Bottom line is this: There's a major difference between WANTING the musculature of a Greek sculpture and actually having one. The only way to establish the physique we see in most musclefur art is to nix all the sugars and processed food out of your diet and start spending hours lifiting weights at the gym. In other words, it would be so time and labor-intensive, you wouldn't have the time/energy to draw anymore.

We should be more honest in their portraits of who they REALLY are. Sure, we're drawing pictures of anthro animals that don't really exist so we might embellish a little. But none of us would have the kinds of muscles upon muscles that some Furries routinely draw, without the aid of steroids (and using those drugs without a prescription is dangerous and illegal).
To me, the huge amonut of muscle art just shows that we want to be strong- all fine and good. But we don't want to work for it- we want to lose fat, gain muscle without having to change our diets or work out for hours. "Something for nothing" philosophy doesn't work.
