Commission for Levithan Redwing. The plushies were probably the most fun part of this piece for me. It was hard to resist adding highlights to everything but I wanted to keep the simple cel shading style of the piece. The block name was fun too.

To each their own. I can understand where the hatred comes in, I myself have a hard time not getting angry when I'm at a con and see the 300 pound fellow walking around, led by a leash, wearing nothing but a diaper and a bib, but keep in mind that you're looking at the one guy that's spoiling an aspect of the fandom for everyone else. The level headed babyfurs are just as disgusted (if not more) by sights like that.
Every day, artists are bombarded by comments from the furs out there that the rest of us would disown from the fandom if given the opportunity. The ones that ruin the experience for everyone else, and make the rest of us look like idiots. Keep in mind that the babyfurs fitting the description above, are those, and not the ones that hate those ones just as much as we do.
I drew this for Levi because he's local and a great guy to be around. He's polite, he doesn't do anything around other furs baby related before asking if it bothers anyone else, and if it does he doesn't bring it up. I get that this sort of thing isn't necessarily your cup of tea. Imagine that a mundane saw a furry picture around you, and got disgusted with the subject matter (even though the picture is tame), and said basically the same thing Nar said. Wouldn't you try to explain that what they think they know about the fandom is mostly the sensationalist crap that the media's fed them, and that most of us are level headed? Would they listen to your explanation understandingly, or do you think that they'd just brush it off because they don't understand and don't want to understand? Will you be that mundane?
