Oh my god. That's awesome.

simply awesome design dude :D

Thats all  thewielder and  dwalker 's doing

I sorta like  dwalker's take on inking, honestly. He does street art, so things like the tat design and overall solidarity of his inklines on top of Forge's lineart are pretty nice compliment to each other. I don't think they want to too rough-looking, seeing as how they're gonna be appealing to a mass-audience of all tastes.

D does great work I wasn't trying to trump his work at all. As I said its a possible idea. They seemed to like it but, in the end its all their deal an they'll do whet ever they wat with it you know. Personalty I don't think they need to worry to much about mass appeal I think anything they do will go over well. I mean they already are applying to people by drawing them with there junk out, you know?

Right, but for something going up for auction (the inks), I feel like they'd sell if they were a bit more "mainstream", not too stylized. I wasn't sayin that you were trumping his work at all; I do see where you were going with the grungy look for the Punk motif, just that, to get a decent bid for the pieces, I feel like there has to be a more generally accepted appeal to the art itself; if it's too stylized, it might throw potential buyers off, yanno? :)

i love the stylization here actually, i think there will be plenty o' bidders




plus there is the added bonus (for me) of it not being porn! absolute love :3

lol It's nice! And I'm sure it'd go a long way, but just a personal observance that it being a bit more in-tune with the lineart since it's going up for a general auction might be a better call, just to appeal to those that are more about the subject itself and might be put off by any sort of rough stylization. I could be wrong, and anything's welcome, just an opinion from my experiences and observations!

Asp sorta cropped it when he did this, most likely to draw attention to PinUpDog's project, which is pretty awesome for him to do! The actual pin-up's a bit more risque, though - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6460268

yes, i had seen the original on twitter. thats why i like this version.

lol Fair nuff. Maybe we can push some censored versions for people that're for just the art without all datass. :)

i would love that!!!!!!!

Pitch it to Kit with me on Twatter! haha

i will give him the big sad gryphon eyes

That's fucking deadly!

Minstream what mainstream about about street art? For that matter what is maintream in furry ? It's all niche. With that said they are alredy apping to people in the fandom I think they will do fine no mater what they do.

It's more about maximizing the potential outcome when auctioning off the inks that I was referring to, but you do have a point. It'll turn out sharp and the subject matter'll definitely be of interest. It's all good. :)

Are you talking about "mainstream" and Gargoyles porn??

Yup.

This is exactly why we can't have nice things.

You really didn't have to comment in the first place, you know. Me and Asp talked our differences out. I don't see your constructive input anywhere, just parroting and snark.

I'm just being jovial, but it seems you are taking this all very seriously. I didn't mean to rain on your parade, just a poke in jest.

It feels a little personal, given recent events, but it's cool. The main focus was a discussion on the business aspect, not tearing anything down. I'm a fan of Asp's art, thus why I've commissioned and pushed others to.

I still feel that a more cleaner lineart might have more general appeal, that was the "mainstream" I was talking about. If it's solely advertised on FurAffinity, it's not a "niche". You are solely catering to Furries, so you have to think "What do Furries that like Brooklyn like", and bam, you look through favs and the Search engine and you find that the pics that look the most like the cartoon version of Brooklyn tends to be the top pics (the only integral use for a Fav and Pageview counter is to gauge how well a pic does, thus a valuable tool for business aspect, not ego like most seem to look at it/shun it for). This is actually pretty standard with 34; there are exceptions where somebody's improved on the model, but a lot of people are passive or even active 'purists'. It's something I see pretty much all over, not just in Furry.

I honestly didn't want this explosion to go on and everything that adds to it that seems like an attack is irritating, honestly. If you didn't mean it that way, then my bad.

I'm not trying to discredit you or remove the validity of your comments, I just found the overall concept of gargoyle porn and main stream art amusing. You know like Andy Warhol was drawing it.

He's not, but Kit and Forge are, and I want them to make as much money to pay their bills off as possible. If it were more casual and not business, I wouldn'tve spoken, but it's business, no matter how much of a niche it seems to be. It can still be possibly lucrative, yanno? It's the only reason I spoke up about it.

I have no doubt it will be successful, both Forge and Kit are talented individuals.

Nice!

Brooklyn looks mighty boss in this pic!

Brooklyn = totally 100% hawt, and I don't even swing that way.

I know, I feel the same way about how people deliberately corrupt childhood memories.

i do like they are not just drawing plain old famous character porn they are twisting and redesigning them so they are characters based on the famous ones but they are not actually them. It's kind of like how the Sentry from Marvel comics is supposed to be Superman but isn't Kind of a homage to the character archetype.

I see, like how Superman's powers are based off his alien physiology while the Sentry's powers are artificial mutation based.

When I first saw this title and the thumbnail, I thought he was getting beaten up some how.

Now that I understand what's happening, I like it =)

I must ask, what program did you use to color/ ink this? I'm digging the chalky outline.

this was all done in sai. there is a paper texture you can put on the brushes

All I can say is that this piece made me depressed. Only because how awful your art is so much better compared to mine

Damn you did a nice job adding to what they did so far
