OOOO I WANNA SEE
:O
My pal, I missed ya!

Mm. >_> Can we just pay you like a buck or two for a compilation or something?

1st, 3rd, 5th, and last one. Those are the ones I'm eager to see. assuming they do, anyway. Still, glad to see the one who started a wave of footpaw fetishists is still around!

The 8th one reminds me if Iago from Aladdin. o:

All 9 of these are all interesting and I want to see them all. :3

I love it when people guess...

I'm sure you do. x3 But I do recognize Knuckles in the 1st square and Timon's paws in the 4th square. :P

But yeah I took an educated guess on the 8th square. xD

Good. Because I try to make some deliberately easier to recognise than others.

Yeah. :3 It also makes everyone excited to see what the pic is or was. :3

Wow, Iago? I thought that it was Skyra again, even if he appeared in the 2nd panel

That's what it look like to me. :3

I see ^^

Although I wouldn't mind seeing a giant Iago. ^^

Same for me ^^

^^

I will just stop wathing you when you close this gallery. Meanwhile I will just be here waiting for the next pic. Or whaterver you post that give me an opportunity to comment something! XD

Oh how you tease us

Would you ever consider posting WIPs of those you decide to never finish? xD

Most of those are at least at flat color stage, and it would be a shame to never get any recognition for all the work you poured in them!

Yes. I'm already considering it. Because I am getting fed up of the sheer quantity of unfinished stuff I have lying around.

I actually just did a rough count of the outstanding pictures in the previous volumes of this collection, and combined with this one, there are now 23 projects shown within the four volumes that I have yet to finish. And frankly, I know there are a bunch of those now that I have pretty much zero intention of ever completing. They're going back, like, nine years!!

By the way, when you say most of these are 'at least at flat colour stage', I'm afraid that's not quite true. To be honest, there's only three of these that I would actually say are at that stage. The others are more like colour and shading tests on what are actually still unfinished drawings that I'm not quite happy with. So they've not progressed quite as far as you might think.

Oohh, I see! My mistake. I'm too used to add colors only after lineart is complete myself to have considered that possibility xD

And well, I totally understand you for the "zero intention of ever completing" part! Especially since after 9 years, you probably are not enjoying looking at them anymore nor are they up to your own standards after 9 years of progress haha x) But hey, I personally am sure people will still enjoy looking at your work no matter how old :D

yes, i agree!! 100% :)

I'd love to see the full WIPs. RRRex's art is one of the things got me into all this stuff, so I'd like to see as much of it as possible.
It's too bad to hear that you're in a bad spot with both personal stuff and with the fandom. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Im ready for the smell of Seb

Do i spy meerkat paws in panel 4?

Not much of a secret, that one.

Good to know you're still kicking! >u^ Would definitely love seeing these finished, but life absolutely comes first!

And if you do decide to bail at some point, just know you're a great inspiration and I wish you well in the future! >u^

To be honest, your art is a service, nobody pays you and yet you make everyone super happy. What is you is almost charitable :) I appreciate the hard work and time you put into this, you're a legend in this community!

If you do finish the majority of them I hope to see the sonic ones :o

so many cute i wish to see :)

Be « dead » if you want ! I mean, being offline is sometimes better for artist like you, we should now and understand you’re not « dead » and surely making a draw for us ! People who calling you dead are just impatient asshole ! Just ignore them, take your time, you said it dude : « better late than never » ! I’m hyped too to see your next draw BUUUUUT I will patiently wait for it ;)

Be dead if you want. That's a great line.



I wasn't suggesting people were being 'assholes' though - it's just one of those things I take as a joke (and indeed say myself) when I've been away for a long time!

I'm surely the worst to make dicour yeah XD

The MVP is still kickin'! Would love to see what you've been whipping up there.~

I (Humbly) demand more of 2, 6 and 8.
The way you draw birds is -awesome- and I always look forward to it.

I've been in a MASSIVE bird mood this year. Seriously.

Tell me more about these massive birds of yours. ~<3

Ah. I did mean massive to describe the mood rather than the birds.

Although I have been drawing some massive birds too...

3 chicken thingies and 1 knuckles? Bruh XD

I would personally love to see the one in the bottom right corner (which is ironic as ever since moving to London, I hate scummy people in suits, but hey!)

Not sure what makes you say "chicken thingies"! But burdz certainly.

Heeeey I miss youuuuu so much :D glad to see you post some teasers here ^^ can't wait to see!

your work s always amazing ^-^ cant wait to see what you make next ^.^ all these samples looks promising^^

It's great to see you again and get news from you. I really can't wait to see your new stuff.

Honestly, dear mister rexar! you are welcome to upload your unfinished art to the scraps folder!
We, your loyal fans, are always happy when you show us some of your art. even if it is not as perfect as you would have liked to show us.
Please upload unfinished pictures and let us participate in your progress, or standstill of the pictures, instead of uploading nothing :)

I do appreciate folks would rather I did this. I suppose I just like to think I'll actuallly get the piece finished and would prefer to wait until that point, but as my record shows, that rarely works out!

I know how you feel. If I were you, then I would like to show the people good and finished pictures. but as you have realized yourself, you can not always do that, and that makes you sad.

We, your fans, are always happy when you contact us. and before you go to so much trouble with pictures that are never finished and dig into a sketchbook, then just show us. Everyone loves sketches of his favorite artists!

Even at games, the developers for fans upload their sketches and ideas, even if they were never implemented. but knowing how it would be is interesting!

and you have already uploaded some sketches. for example those of wargreymon, rocky, the horse, bubba ect. I prefer to see such sketches, as nothing of you.

we love you, bug guy :)

calling from the grave ;p

Hey Rex! It's good to see that you're not among the numbers of people who have left for the gates of heaven. I wish you the best of luck with the rubbish life tends to dish out and I am very sorry that you feel that depression sinking deeper into you.

I have been watching your art for a very long time (I don't remember when you uploaded the mouse mash animation but that was the first upload I remember seeing from you.)

I remember staying super shy in eccentricities and watching your art pop up in the forums and I'd stare at poor Mike thinking "i hate that fucking dog. He looks so ungrateful about his position with Rocky and Rexar. I'd beg to be trapped under their feet, not beg to be let go."

Then you uploaded workout partners. Well i was a little more mean with my jealousy. I thought "that fucking dog needs to be tied? I'd crawl into Rocky's shoe and beg him to keep me there all day. What an ungrateful beta"

Heh. Hold tight and think about yourself. You have given us many wonderful memories with just art alone and its time you look after yourself. Your fans will always be here for you.

You are truely an amazing artist and a wonderful person.

Blimey, I never knew anybody felt so annoyed with Mike!!



Mind you, it's very much to convey the forced element. The whole reason I draw these scenarios is because I like them, and as Mike is my fursona, technically he should like them too. But sometimes I prefer to draw him being unhappy about it as it emphasises the forceful domination of the situation.

Thanks, by the way!

Lol annoyed? No. Just extremely jealous. I'd give anything to be in his position with rockys and rears paws. Really loved the workout partners one with him in Rocky's shoe. Such a lucky pup.

I think you are being unreasonable, Rexxie.
I'd challenge you to find anything considered 'healthy' to cope...

Either way, many of us live the smut life freely. It's culture, you know.

Oh I know. Personal view, horses for courses and all that. I'm not judging anybody else. I just know how I personally feel about the amount of time I've spent on it down the years.

Clearly, as an attempt to justify the time spent FOR you. I knew what you had meant! Rexxie.

So, let me see if I guess correctly the ones in the panels

1st: Knuckles
2nd: Skyra
3rd: Tebe
4th: Timon
5th: I don't know ^^
6th: An avian. Maybe a chicken?
7th: Marco or Carlos
8th: Iago
9th: Seb

I hope to have guessed already some of them ^^

Anyway, it's a pity to see other pics unfinished. I'm sure that they would look great if completed ^^

You named eight characters there. Five of them are right. I won't tell you which.

Wow, I got five characters out of eight? That's wonderful! I'm happy of that ^^

And that's a pity that you won't tell me which ones I guessed, but I don't mind

This is kinda sad tbh, considering you're, in my opinion, somewhat of a legend, but it's good to know you're not literally deceased. Hopefully we'll see some of these in some sort of full form (finished or otherwise) at some point, it would be a shame for then to be lost to time.

its a shame your growing distant from the fandom and thus getting fewer and fewer submissions in peoples inboxes including mine considering ive enjoyed your work when something comes out in my inbox of submissions, all the while i'm growing distant myself from the fandom too just like you for reasons left untold. I'm sorry to hear your situation i know what its like to be unemployed for nearly a year (I mean i got a job now since last February but it was so frustrating to be rejected by jobs after being laid off because the store i worked at before looking for a new job closed down via liquidation). Wasn't the happiest camper to be quite honest, was in your same department with family issues and crap the whole 9 yards. but anyways hope you find a job soon that will get your life back on track and trust me there's always some job that requires someones ass to be filled after they fire someone from some department or another so new opportunities are rising every here and there. anyways hopefully you can finish these when you do if you dont its understandable due to such difficulties in life as life comes first but hopefully it doesn't hit you too hard.

Whatever you decide to do, just be healthy, be smart, and take care of yourself and your family. Those things come first. We'll be here for you for when (if) you're able to join us.

Also, I don't personally put any weight on the need to finish personal artwork. I draw to get ideas out of my head and into something I can see; once it's there, the drive fades quick and I move onto the next. Granted, like you, if it's not finished, I generally don't want to show it, but I'm very happy to see what you've got in progress. :3

That bottom center one peaks my interest...

Middle left pic peaks my interest the most. I'd recognize those feet anywhere

Good to see you around once more! But I can fully understand life being busy and subsequently becoming more distant with the fandom. I do hope things fall into place for ya over time.

I will say though, those meerkat (Timon?) ones have my interest the most peaked :0

Hey man, hope you're feeling better soon buddy <3 Love the work as always though.

Heh, well this is quite a surprise. I was expecting you to submit another unfinished collection last year since you’ve been uploading these every two years until last year. But last year I learned that you were doubling back from the fandom more so. But now that you’ve uploaded this I’m glad to see that you’re still working on some art at least. Of course I’m not holding my breath, I know the drill. When you did say that the 10th anniversary picture might be your last one, I kinda figured that it was the last one in a long time. I did believe you when you said that it would be the last majorly detailed project you ever create and I don’t blame you I suppose. I imagine there should be some shortcuts to make a detailed picture like that but I don’t know much about digital painting or advanced techniques that come with it... yet.

Now for me to guess these characters in this collection which I always enjoy doing.

1. Knuckles
2. Skyra
3. Mike (That may be an another Snapshot with Rexar. Or this could be a one-off of him interacting with… a bear?)
4. Timon
5. I don’t know - this one’s too generic and hard to guess. (A slightly modified ninja turtle? It could be a certain dreamworks character but I refuse to think you have that shit of a taste. I know it's not king koopa or one-eyed mike.)
6. Henery Hawk (Otherwise it looks too generic to guess.)
7. Marco (That snout is a dead giveaway.)
8. Iago (Modified a bit?)
9. Seb

Well that’s all the effort that I can be bothered to put into guessing these - heh. These all look good, but I’m looking forward to whatever you have in store in the future. Although, I must admit, I’m still waiting on some pieces you’ve teased in some of your past collections.

I’m still waiting for #9 of 1, #5 of 2, #2 & #4 of 3, and I guess #1 of 4. What can I say, those hit my buttons quite a bit - assuming they involve the fetish that they imply. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up not ever finishing any of them. And honestly, I don’t blame if you just can’t finish them and do decide to eventually abandon those projects due to lack of enthusiasm, real life priorities, personal issues or for whatever reason. I’m familiar with that problem myself as an artist.

I’m well aware that you’ve been withdrawing from the fandom since 2015 when you were slowly doing it then, starting with you stepping down from the Eccentricities team 3 years ago. I actually remember you talking about this on a thread on Eccentricities towards the end of that year too. You were saying something about not being certain when you’ll ever finish your pictures and I quipped something along the lines of, “In other words, never!” And then your replied to me that “I might as well be right about that” or something like that. But I wasn’t expecting you to distance yourself from the fandom more and more since then. Again, I don’t blame you.

Furthermore, I had no idea that you were out of work for some time now. I remember you saying that you got hired for a journalism job but I know that was over 5 years ago, and I do acknowledge that a lot can change for anyone in that timeframe. And I understand where you’re coming when you say that you’re getting your life sorted out and that you’ve been depressed for quite some time now, trust me I do. I know that feeling of not being on the payroll and being down for that reason and/or other reasons that relate to my personal life, my career, etc. I know this because I’m in a similar situation currently. Years ago, I think I was in a worse spot as I didn’t know what career I liked and that might bring me joy working in. Now, I’m trying my best to stay positive, but most importantly, on planning how to gain happiness in the career I’m now pursuing. And I have a positive feeling things will work out for me soon enough. But I'm sorry that you're going through hard times man.

Judging by what you’ve said in your last few updates, it looks like you’re at a crossroads. I think you’re either going to spend, at most, another good 3 somewhat quiet years in the fandom and then leave for good to pursue other goals or just stick to the fandom with your few and far between uploads every year while pursuing your goals. I can only suggest that you try to stay positive and not give up. Also - and sorry for being vague when I say this - I recommend that you do what you need to do but keep your chin up. I’m assume that you already know what you need to do. And if you do decide to leave the fandom permanently, then I won’t blame you but I will support you. Anyway, sorry for another long comment - heh. I’m looking forward to whatever you bring to this community.

I also hope you're having a good summer! Take care RRRex!

P.S. Did England losing the World Cup semi-finals last month contribute to your depression at all? They played a good match but I have to give it to Croatia for a great performance during that tense overtime. I didn't like how the media downplayed Croatia's potential when they pushed for a England vs. France finale and how they already assumed who was going to win that semi-final. I was rooting for Croatia in the end. Of course this is coming from a guy who rarely watches soccer... or football - heh!

Hey Draeckeeon! Phew, another lengthy reply...!

From your guesses, I'll tell you you've got five right. Won't say any more.

I wouldn't hold your breath on a lot of the older Great Unfinished Collection panels. I'll probably end up uploading some of them as abandoned projects because I know full well a lot of them are never gonna happen now.

Thanks for the support anyway. Still out of work at the moment so still not found the solution to my problems as yet. Good luck on your career plans anyway!

And no, don't worry - football can annoy me but it doesn't contribute to depression for me. The important things get me down. Sport is just trivial. (Thankfully!)

I assure you, this will be the last lengthy reply you get from me... at least under this username.

Ah shoot, I only got five right? I was sure I would at least hit six!

That's truly a shame that you will most likely abandon most of your older projects. I was looking forward to seeing some of them.
In that case, do you know when you'll upload your next batch of abandoned projects? How many?

You're welcome for the moral support. I do hope that things get better for you and that you find the solution to your shortcomings, if you haven't already that is!

I'm not sure exactly when or what I'll be uploading yet, but I do want to start uploading some of the unfinished/abandoned stuff, otherwise there's no point in ever having done the latter.

I would LOVE to see 9, even if it is just a WIP

That one's given me some trouble. Started it once then binned it and started it again. Now I'm having other problems.

Could be a while, so I'll see how I feel about a WIP upload.

I know square #1 is Knuckles the Echidna but who's in square #5?

Hi i was wondering can you make more giant Timon ^^ i choose more tiimon because i love you style please make more

did you ever upload panel one in any form?
