Wow, really good though.

Well lookit that, Fara can draw maybe half as good as Blotch, except Fara has never attempted the style before, and only took about 60 seconds to do that, and put in all of no effort. People don't believe me when I say I could be really good at drawing, if I tried. I think you're the only one that knows.

I meant all of them, actually. But yeah, you do 'furry' very well.

Three weeks later, this crap has grown on me.

Well, the wolf hasn't. But everything else, I thought, was worth a second look.

Well, I still think it's great.

Ah, I can see the Gunsmith Cats style emanate from your drawings. ^^

Kenichi Sonoda has had more influence on the way I colour than the way I draw.

YOUR ON A FURRY WEBSITE.
FURRIES TEND TO DRAW ANTHROPOMORPHIC CHARACTERS.
No its not hard to draw a simple wolf head, but there is a lot of creativity that goes into a lot of work on FA.
If your going to complain, delete your account here and go and post your stuff on DA where theres a wider spectrum of art.

I don't mind furry art.

But when someone works that hard to try to squeeze out every hint of artistic creativity, I struggle to refer to the images as art. A five-year-old's finger-painting is more artistic, because it's a true expression of an emotion, usually of joy, but whatever it is, it's done as a way of expressing inner feelings. As well as that, it's also a human interpretation of the world, or of those feelings. If art were all about getting everything looking right, we'd just take photographs. But art still exists because it has that element of humanness in it, we can draw things we can't take photos of, we can make things change shape, create new creatures, pictures of things which don't even exist, or draw ideas that no-one had thought of before. This is what makes ar artistic, even when it's a finger painting. Blotch and similar artists try to delete all this creativity and expression, by simply re-making well-used ideas, and by engineering the images based solely on what they look like rather than what they express.

The fact that this generic/generic work is so popular indicates that humans are still pack animals, following something not because it is intellectual or interesting, like we would have done in the renaissance, but because everyone else seems to like it. On a roleplay site I'm part of, perhaps about one in five members roleplay as an orphaned wolf, who grew up as an outsider, learned some special skills, perhaps joined the military for a time, and are now really tough. This is so cliché it's not even funny. But the sad thing is, that the only way you can be cooler than these cliché characters, is to be even more cliché, adding in things like carrying a sword, or having memories of a loved one that was taken away. Being different, being creative, being a true artist, in this modern social climate, is worse than a waste of time.

So you’re saying... The more effort an artist puts into the picture, the less creative it is? O_o
And... Last time I checked, I haven't seen any anthropomorphic Foxes/Wolves etc walking around in real life. So your definition of creativity is still being reached by artists like Blotch. I can't agree with you that his work shows no expression. So many of his pieces create an emotional response and amazement at the amount of detail they include.

There is a huge range of styles on FA, even though the subject is the same. Individuality and creativity is so celebrated on this site that statement really can’t be backed up.
Hate to remind you again but you are on a furry website, if you’re looking for a radical art movement, I doubt you'll find one here. With anything these days, its hard to find something thats so unique and that has NEVER been done before. So your really asking for the impossible there.

So just to ask, what would you class as being creative? What has to be done to be acknowledged as a true artist in your eyes?
Oh apart from a five year old with a pot of paint and a finger.

Your mom.

Whats wrong with Blotch? She can do some cool and creative stuff

I'm a bleeding soul artist that likes art beyond what it looks like.

Bleeding soul artist? Just because Blotch draws what she likes that happens to be stuff that you don't like doesn't make her uncreative

No, you're right.
But doing the same thing over and over again makes anyone uncreative.
