Of course it's not enough to draw round animals (see https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44799227/ ); you need to know how to draw flat ones too. So here's a rabbit drawn with as little three-dimensionality as I could, without looking like just a band picture.

Stuff I realize: folds and seams and spots where it takes the shape of floor dirt really sell flat pictures. I should have done more looking at the fleece underneath our three-dimensional rabbit's running area for some more complicated but realistic folding.

To tell you something of how furry has changed: I remember, around 1997 or 1998, running across a web site devoted to ``Flat-o-Philia'' and sharing it with a friend, unable to tell whether this was on the level (as it were) or was a spoof of niche fetishes. In the 'spoof' column you have to understand, back then, there just wasn't good art of niche interests. Even inflatable art was maybe one good picture to three ``drawn by the fourth-best artist in your high school art class'' pictures. Something as small as flatness? You'd be getting the tenth-best artist in your high school art class doing something. Or Photoshopping a screen shot of, oh, Seven of Nine so the perspective is off and calling that a flat standee in perspective. They were primitive times.
