This is quite outstanding.

I think it's more than Anthro. The "ugly look" students also hate Roller Derby.

Awesome work.

It would suck for them if they did hate it, seeing as they had to enter the contest too.

Very true, but they're also jealous of you. Some of them are wishing they did it.

That's how some haters are.

*thumbs up* I don't like roller derby and I'd go watch this one ;)

all to sad art is art anthro or not they should look at it for the art involved

in my illustrator class i had the OMG your a furry thing happen with my instructor
(lesse i wore a proud to be furry shirt furry zipper tags done by michel light and furry desktop wallpaper what took her so long...)

Did she flip her shit when she found out?

i quote "y-y-0you-your a fu-furry??" i instantly went into damage control mode
after showing her everything from maxblackrabbit to dark natasha and others
she said damn some of these people are incredible talent
i told her sex sells and its all over in fetish and content but its not the only furry art out there
opened the local phone book and pointed out randomly all the anthro logos for businesses LOL aparently she'd just the day before called
a local plumber whos company "lone wolf plumbing" their mascot was a big black buff werewolf with uber racks of muscles carrying pipes over the shoulder she'd never noticed the logo...i didnt have any more trouble with her

Showing an art teacher furry porn artists? That's a pretty ballsy plan, glad you weren't killed in the process.

i expected trouble and had a counter for it
people have been painting porn for decades look at the roof of the Sistine chapel!
and also nudes and porn of their various gods as well romulas an remas suckled at the breast of a she wolf bronze statuary is that art or is it bestiality?
its been art for longer than ive been alive id have to say
art is art its value comes from who like it most

but i didnt need it she was a great instructor and was fair with my product box and bottle label projects

I'd go. As usual, great stuff here. I just love your arts.

10+ Years in the fandom, I don't understand the hate. I think people hate anything to do with furries because they're told to.

Well, I'd digress a bit. The furry fandom has practically fought to earn their awful reputation. Truthfully, as an up and coming professional, I should be doing everything in my power to distance myself from it all, but I really love the good aspects far too much to just leave it all behind. Regardless, it would be nice to people get differentiated somewhat; I'd rather not get lumped in with the less than outstanding people this fandom harbors; in front of my peers no less.

Indeed, but there is anthropomorphic art in our everyday lives, much in advertising, as well as logos, and of course television shows and movies. The Na'vi from Avatar are thought of a a geek fantasy already, but they were purposefully mixed with feline traits to make them look more attractive, as well as different from humans. Most won't admit it, but liking a Na'vi that way is liking furries. But that's my digression.

I agree, it'd be nice to have different levels. There's different levels of nerd, after all. geek, trekie, fanboy, otaku, so on.

True, but most people simply don't give two shits about anthros one way or the other; they equally don't care about mildly sexualised animals, from Disney's output to the Cadbury Caramel Bunny to Avatar, because it's just another thing that's been around since time immemorial anyhow. As long as it's within the realms of acceptable sexuality, you can get away with a fair amount of shit in the real world. Both furries and the assorted /b/tards who still rabidly hate them years after anyone stopped caring probably look just as bad as each other, to the average man.

John Q. Public: Not caring since 3000 BC. I should make like a driver's license that says that.

you didn't even give them names, did you

In truth it would've been fun to give them silly Roller Derby girl names.

About your classmates, I'm sure they're reacting that way because they know they'd never win against you.

Haha, glad you think so. I could use more guys like you around.

I wouldn't be surprised if your classmates were just jealous of your skills and creativity.

I tell myself that at night so I don't sob myself to sleep.

Just kidding, that class was full of chumps.

I'll bet it was.

let me just say for the record upon bumping into this lovely pic that the world needs more skaters

And fewer shoobies.
