>>1203 : Damn, I'm liking that raptor.
Thanks for posting that one.

>>686 ... Hi Tojyo

-

>>1206

Tojyo's on FA, you're posting on the wrong website.

-

I dunno about the rest, but I, for one, really love it when you post here... your work was largely responsible for my discovering the fandom - There'll always be a soft spot in my heart for Saara.

And the Hugo should totally have been yours!

-

Well, Hugo-wise there's always next year. But it would take about 50 or 75 people willing to buy supporting memberships in the Worldcon, and that's a minimum of $50 each. People don't buy Worldcon memberships just to vote, for obvious reasons.

Also, next year in another Aussiecon. (4th. or 5th. -- I forget.) There's an Australian favourite named "Ditmar," a fellow Aussie. The guy isn't bad at all. He's a computer compostie artist -- he takes pictures of things and modifies them and layers them into something that looks like a gaudy SF magazine cover. This goes over really well with SF fans, though its not my cup of tea. I prefer art that shows a more hands-on approach. Even if its digitally coloured and tweaked, at some point somebody drew it, and that's the way I like it.

Anyway, I'd give pretty good money that Ditmar will be next year's winner.

-

There's another process where one takes a rough sketch and works it into a piece of digital art - Antarctic Press had a SIG at SDCC back around '97 or so that I attended; supposedly this was a regular method among AP's comic artists at the time, and may still be today.

Actually, the ONLY reason I buy a worldcon membership anymore is to vote... I don't do well with large crowds, so my convention days are largely behind me. I only attend smaller, more intimate special interest cons these days. Still, I suspect that you're right - the fix is in for this Ditmar bloke.

I tend to agree with you about artwork, though... I guess I'm just old school - I love what computers can do, and I've seen some great stuff done in post processing of a scanned image - but I just prefer something that someone actually /drew/. It's only within the past few years that digital tools have really been able to emulate their real world counterparts properly... so I hope things will swing back to some more traditional styles.

That was one of the things that really attracted me to your work - I'm a designer by training, and I'm afraid that I tend toward minimalist influences... danish modern, bauhaus, some japanese - and it influences my preferences in traditional art as well. I like a clean style - a sureness of contour, and an economy of line. You always managed to get so much into such a deceptively simple package. There's a lot to be said for elegance.

It warms the cockles of my heart it does.

Ditmar is Dick Jansen, if I have that right. He's an old time Austrailian fan artist who went totally overboard for computer generated art. The new stuff really impresses the average SF fan who just sees a lot of busy-ness and colour and cool stuff like dinosaurs and fallen ruins and Jules Verne submarines all stuck in the same picture. I'm not sure that they graps that its just fancy clip art that has been stretched and textured and re-coloured. In any case, I expect the Aussies to stick together at the Worldcon this year, so Ditmar is probably a shoe-in. If not, there's Sue Mason. All the Brits vote for Sue, so she has either won or come in second over the last few years.

As for the Canadian fans, who I might otherwise count on, they don't seem to have a clue about the mainstream of fandom. Last year's winner of the Canadian award for fan activity was a fanzine dedicated to listing comic book superheroes. Canadian fandom is a world of its own, and I don't figure myself as part of it.

That was great. I only noticed the bitmap expressions when I was looking out for them. That said, Renamons face is fabulous.

I agree with elliot in that the buttons didn't seem to do anything or show signs they were working at all. It wasn't until the second scene when I finally realized it was the way it was made. Some way to confirm a button press would be ideal, but not necessary.

Great Job.

"0 Poor 'web version' quality in the video (had to get it to a postable size)."

You could post a hi-res version at one of those download sites like megaupload, megarotic, rapidshare and post the link instead.

Also the angle from Preview H was changed in the final cut. To showoff Zorori's facial expression I presume, but I preferred the angle in the Preview H cuz you could see more or Renamon getting cummed on :( But that's just my 2 cents.

Overall I think this is a spectacular piece of work. Keep up the awesome job :)

Hmm, yes. You see, what I wanted to do was have it so that you press the button, and then the current loop plays to the end before moving onto the next one. That way, the animation is fluid and doesn't skip.

>>943

Yes, I'm quite disappointed with myself when it comes to the expressions. If I'd only invested a few more hours in the initial stages, it would have been so much better.

>>944

Right. I originally had it so that there was only one button for the loop at a time, and when you went to the next loop, that button disappeared and the next one appeared. However, when I exported this, it didn't work properly.

"So there's not much point in dishing out a high quality version, unless I were to just rar the video files on their own and upload them."

I wouldn't mind having the collection of hi-rez video files. You could post the link on your furaffinity account :)

-

I noticed that the transitions between some loops seem rough, probably due to a number of factors. While the quality is certainly better-than-average for "amateur" work, it is still significantly behind what I would consider "professional", in terms of movement fluidity, expression (bodily and facial), and environmental interactivity.

If you want some inspirational material, I recommend the Sexual Fantasy Kingdom series, or other professionally released 3D erotic games. While almost none are "furry" per se, you might still benefit from noting the detail work that they implement, and mentally identifying qualities that distinguish a "better" animation.

I'm not saying your work is bad, of course. I just think there's a lot of room for improvement.

If (when) you start your BIG PROJECT, I suggest enlisting the aid of a writer, preferably one whose works you particularly enjoy. It never hurts to have a second opinion, especially when dealing with something as delicate and intricate as a well-developed storyline.

I assume you knew most of these things already, but it's 3am and I'm feeling obstinate. Good night.

-

Hey, DD! I've really enjoyed your work, especially the unique herms and the Blackberry and iRiver pics. How about a straight-up female rabbitmorph, side-view so the tail shows? (Any level of detail works for me, from sketch to finished work.)

Have you moved to another FA nickname? Or giving up?

-

Awesome! Thanks! (I'm 1191, in case you didn't guess.)

-

>>1006 That's really good. I would like to see the finished product if you ever do decide to finish.

-

yes finish!!!

-

>>1006
Yes please.

-

The last issue I got was #4 (1998), so it's been a while. Not so much 10 years on hiatus as 10 years of improvement and new ideas, shall we say? I look forward to seeing it when it comes out.

-

>>1176i just reread that whole thing in a irish accent.
it was better this time around

-

No content. Test of "tag" only.

-

Hey Taral! It's Honcho from the Zero-G Lavatory. Nice to see that you are still doing the furry stuff.

-

>>1113 Yeah... I remember Zero-G Lav. I'm not doing much here on Fchan though. Unless the art is postiviely filthy you get little feedback, and posting is a bit of a pain. I'm mainly at FurAffinity these days -- the return on my effort is much better.

-

>>1138 And you're easier to find there as well - having your own pages there, unlike here ;P where everything's arranged under genre and subject.

-

Keep up the good work, J. The fandom needs to chill more and laugh a little.

>>1121
speaking of chilling, way to miss the point AND be a hypocrite. I loves me some Hardiman, but where do you get off dictating what's an ok fetish and what's not? I'm sure some people are just as turned off by Hardiman's detailed/realistic close-ups, and I'm SURE you wouldn't want them to tell you to take your 'garbage' somewhere else.

Live, love and laugh. Don't get mean.

-

>>1117Lets see...
Left is...no clue...seems like a little Gideon with some other things from the depths of the internet...

The middle one made me think of Nezumi right away....maybe I'm wrong...

The right one...Rain? I....really have no clue...

-

>>1121 Actually, the woman behind the "Des Lee" moniker left the furry genre quite some time ago. That's why you're not seeing any more stuff from her anymore. She got sick of the weirdness and decided to call it quits while she still had her wits about her.

As for the porn stuff, well, I'm not really doing too much of that anymore. Between a new comic (still in the works) and my mainstream artwork, I really don't have the extra time to sit down and spend a few days on a single full-color picture (let alone making an entire folio of them). For the time being, there are no more plans to produce folios or prints, but if anything changes in the future, so too may those plans.

>>1137 The middle one is Nezumi, but I don't know who the others are. I can say they are a mix of different artists, but I couldn't offer any names. I don't follow or collect the work of any other artists, so I don't know who drew what. Sorry, man.

-

>>864
I always used to believe DesireLee was another of your characters or alt. Nickmames, sorry but I'm lost...

-

>>1163 Yeah, "Desiree Lee" is a character, one that I created way back when using a high school friend of mine as the basis. The person the character was based on ended up using the name as a pseudonym for her parody artwork, which she hasn't done for years.

The only pseudonym I use is the one I created for my mainstream artwork, since I made the mistake of using my actual name for the anthro artwork back in 1995. Oh well...

I fell in love with Vivian the moment I saw her! These are some of my favourite drawings, they're perfectly cute.!

Heya! I've seen your work around on the boards, and I just wanted to say, I love your style. Your characters are so pretty and so cute, especially Vivian. Great work! :D

(I'd love to see you draw some gratuitous pretty boy some time, but I get the impression that it's not your thing. Ah well! XP)

I'm curious, how old is Vivian and your skunk femme supposed to be?
