Looks like everyone is coming back to the topic, so might as well make my return too.
I ran into my first Anti-Furry jerk just a few hours before I posted this. And I decided to listen to what he had to say and save everything he said. And the worst part? He used to be one of my good friends on steam.
I'll spoiler the conversation, but I'll warn you, he says some things that were horrible.
His steam name is there but there are so many accounts with the same name you (hopefully) shouldn't run into him.
Rybo: Hello
Quantum_Wolf: Hi
Rybo: Whats up man
Quantum_Wolf: Not much, how about you?
Rybo: Idk
Rybo: I have to ask
Quantum_Wolf: yes?
Rybo: Why are you a furry
Rybo: You didn't used to be
Rybo: Dude?
Quantum_Wolf: I found some things about it that I liked, and ended up joining the fandom.
Quantum_Wolf: Why do you ask?
Rybo: Well
Rybo: Let me tell you a story
Rybo: About how furries are degratory to society
Rybo: With eye witness events
Rybo: As well as interviews
Rybo: So I have a friend
Rybo: Lets just call him midget
Rybo: That's his steam username
Rybo: *part of it*
Rybo: So this friend
Rybo: He got in a car crash
Rybo: And naturally
Rybo: He got the drain bramage
Rybo: lets just say
Rybo: This brain damage happened to change him
Rybo: And guess what he picked up?
Rybo: 5 letters
Rybo: Starts with an f
Rybo: Ends with a y
Rybo: You guessed it
Rybo: He became a furfag
Rybo: Why does this story matter at all?
Rybo: Well here's the thing
Rybo: I figure
Rybo: That if the furry culture did not exist
Rybo: He would not get as ed up and corrupted as he did
Rybo: And yeah
Rybo: I do believe this furry corrupted him a bit
Rybo: Regarding brain damage
Rybo: Reconstruction of brain cells
Rybo: Ect ect
Rybo: So
Rybo: what is your opinion
Rybo: on the furry fandom corrupting society
Rybo: And messing people up more than they need to be messed up
Quantum_Wolf: Lets see, you claim it to corrupt society, and yet you base yourself on one friend, whond you say brain damage is what made him become a furry.
Rybo: More so than just that
Quantum_Wolf: *who you say brain damage made him become furry
Rybo: I also believe
Rybo: It causes damage further on
Rybo: In the form of cult mentality
Rybo: And yes
Rybo: I call the furry fandom a cult
Rybo: What else is it?
Rybo: That's exactly what it is
Rybo: I don't mean to just push in
Rybo: After not talking to you for a while
Rybo: And question what makes you happy
Quantum_Wolf: Jesus, where do you hear these things? As far I know only a minority of the fandom would be doing those things.
Rybo: Where do I hear these things?
Rybo: These are my own theories
Rybo: I create them
Rybo: Based on existential evidence
Rybo: Of the furry fanbase
Rybo: I mean
Rybo: Here's the cheese of the situation
Rybo: I absolutely despise the furry fandom
Quantum_Wolf: I noticed
Rybo: if I find out someone is a furry
Rybo: I beat the living out of them
Quantum_Wolf: I noticed that too
Rybo: So here's the cheese
Rybo: Basically
Rybo: I don't exactly want to troll you / bully you here
Rybo: So I' not going to
Rybo: But here's the thing
Rybo: From what I've seen
Rybo: Furfags are quick to anger in defending their little cult
Rybo: And normally
Rybo: They are quite freaks of people
Quantum_Wolf: Hmmph, some people are like that, I respect your opinion.
Rybo: So why are you doing this to yourself?
Quantum_Wolf: What am I doing to myself exactly?
Rybo: Yes
Rybo: You are jeopardizing yourself
Rybo: It's like dying your skin black in the 1900s
Rybo: It just makes you
Rybo: A social freak
Rybo: And hated by a lot of the internet
Rybo: Why do that to yourself?
Quantum_Wolf: I honestly don't care much about what people think of me. I do what I want.
Rybo: Ah
Rybo: But you should
Rybo: I learned that a long time ago
Rybo: It's best not to be yourself
Rybo: Most people wear masks anyways
Quantum_Wolf: Well, it's only obvious on the internet, you wouldn't notice much in real life.
Rybo: What if I went up to you in real life
Rybo: And argued that if hitler commited genocide on furfags instead of jews
Rybo: He would have done nothing wrong
Rybo: I've done that before
Rybo: It normally weeds them out fast
Quantum_Wolf: I'll be honest, I tend to hang around the cleaner side of things.
Rybo: God
Rybo: The fandom really f'ed up zombie survival
Rybo: Furry porn sprays everywhere...
Quantum_Wolf: Well then you must be finding the wrong people, only a small portion would actually do that.
Rybo: Zombie survival
Rybo: Is when you take a bunch of people
Rybo: And put them in a game anonymously
Rybo: That is exactly where that happens man
Rybo: It's like internet forums
Rybo: Anything unmoderated
Rybo: In a random location
Rybo: It's not finding any particular people
Quantum_Wolf: Then you just happened to get put with the wrong people
Rybo: It's going into unmoderated random games
Rybo: Thousands of games man
Rybo: It's cancer
Rybo: I'd say it contributes to the death of Garry's Mod
Rybo: Let me say this..
Rybo: I'm gonna continue beating the out of any furries I happen to see..
Rybo: And you stay out of Ohio
Quantum_Wolf: I live in Canada, and I can't even drive yet, what makes you think I would go to Ohio?
Rybo: No diea
Rybo: No idea*
Rybo: Just stay out of bounce
Rybo: Ohio hates anyone who isn't white
Quantum_Wolf: And I don't care about you beating on them, do what you want.
Rybo: Atleast from my experience
Rybo: You have a few ghettos
Rybo: With races
Rybo: Other than that
Rybo: Also
Rybo: Why is it always you damn canadians...
Rybo: Always
Quantum_Wolf: Always what?
Quantum_Wolf: You going to tell me another story?
Rybo: It's always canadians that are furfags it seems..
Rybo: Or furry sympathizers
Rybo: What's up with that
Quantum_Wolf: I wish I knew.
Rybo: Either way
Rybo: I'm fine so long as you aren't pink
Rybo: Pinker than a moscow sunset
Rybo: I should say
Quantum_Wolf: Ah that'll never happen
Quantum_Wolf: I've always hated pink
Rybo: Good to hear, son
Rybo: I'm especially against pinkos
Quantum_Wolf: I'm not going to say I'm against them, but I tend to steer myself away from them
Rybo: Pinkos?
Rybo: I will say though
Rybo: I'd really have issues with you
Rybo: if you are > the age of 20 and still a furry
Rybo: From what I collect
Rybo: This whole furry is due to teenage identity crisis
Rybo: It'll all be over soon for you
Quantum_Wolf: We'll see
Rybo: I understand you are arund 17
Rybo: 14 - 17 years of age
Quantum_Wolf: 16
Rybo: Yeah
Rybo: It's just a teenage identity crysis
Rybo: It will all be over soon, son
Quantum_Wolf: As I said, we'll see
Rybo: I'm not lying here
Rybo: I like to know the furry culture inside out
Rybo: So I can attack if effectively
Rybo: And that is what I came up with
Rybo: As the cause of this
Quantum_Wolf: Well, this was a nice discussion, especially considering I haven't talked to you in a while
Rybo: I don't think it was a nice discussion
Rybo: it was something that had to be said
Rybo: Regarding the furry community
Quantum_Wolf: Have you heard of sarcasm before?
Rybo: Sorry
Rybo: My sarcasm detector is off
Rybo: Since I thought we were in serious talk
Rybo: I thought
Rybo: That we were speaking of this seriously
Quantum_Wolf: Oh we were
Quantum_Wolf: only that nice discussion part was sarcasm
Rybo: How was it not a nice discussion
Rybo: I mostly didn't insult you on a personal level
Rybo: More so than I insulted the furry community
Quantum_Wolf: And now you are calling this a nice discussion? you just said it wasn't about a minute ago.
Rybo: God damnit
Rybo: me
Rybo: Um
Rybo: Look over there
Rybo: I wouldn't lie to you
Quantum_Wolf: I suppose so, especially after that rant of yours
Rybo: Lol
Rybo: I'm not going to hold this against you
Rybo: I will hold it against the rest of the furry community though
Rybo: For doing this to you
Quantum_Wolf: What has it done? Nothing bad has happened to me yet
Quantum_Wolf: Apart from this discussion
Rybo: Look
Rybo: I don't have 100% on my reasoning
Rybo: But trust me
Rybo: It's there
Rybo: Somewhere
Rybo: A seed of reason
Quantum_Wolf: Definitely not 100%
Rybo: 101%?
Quantum_Wolf: There is a decent side to the fandom, that you seem to have missed, considering it's a huge chunk of it.
Rybo: I know of it
Rybo: But I lik focusing on the certain side
Rybo: Since it helps me sway opinions
Rybo: ...
Rybo: What's goin on here man?
Quantum_Wolf: Now that I think about it? you'd probably be better off not knowing.
Also this is the first time he bothered to talk to me in about a year.
Needless to say I blocked him and took him off my friends list.
yeah, number one rule of the fandom: Don't talk about the fandom unless interest is mutual
Also, AJ, I was going to draw you something as a birthday gift (I saw that notification in my messages on DA) but what I was working on got messed up and I will have to start over. Might be a day or two late because of that.
Hello, all. I haven't been here in a long time. Not sure why. Possibly because of the conversion project I've started on the recently released game, Cube World. I'm remaking the mobs, their names, the objects, the races, the classes.. you name it. All in the theme of my Skylands lore. For those that wish to see:
So, to start, this is just a slightly angled view of my main character, Kaii. I re-did the entire body, custom created the hair and face, and am sticking close to her actual look and coloration as I've imagined her. As a little change, I decided to put a tribal emblem on the back of her quiver.
In order to satisfy my OCD when it comes to details, Kaii also has cubic brown pads beneath her feet.
This is a front shot, with her weapon removed. I had to create the tribal wrap-around top myself.
This is an example of what I'm doing to the classes, and their specializations.
Finally, I changed the mission marker, previously two crossed swords, to a paw print. I'm rather happy with how it turned out.
So, thanks to those that had a look. Currently working on something at the moment, glad to be back. Maybe.
Excellent work! I haven't really spent to much time with Cube World yet, because the gameplay isn't really refined yet. If you can somehow make the character customization include other animals that would be awesome!
Also are you guys are just starting highschool? My first college classes start the 26th.

Did... Did you seriously just call someone out on their grammar and then use the wrong homophone?

No. I make them custom for people who ask. Just note me on FA.
Anyway. I'm back. College is a bit overwhelming. Here's a quick thing that might turn into a new ref sheet:

I'm not going for a realistic style and I'm not drawing a human so not really. This is the style I've always used as a base.
