I have always wondered, are the majority of furry artists male or female? This has always startled me because I know females are more likely into cute animals, drawing art, etc than males are, but I could be wrong. Can anyone help clarify this for me?

Male. There's a number of female artists, but there have been and always will be more males.

FYI, more often then not, the female artists tend to create male characters that are loved by a huge number of gay furries, where is the males create female characters highly loved by the hetro furries.

I think there's slightly more male artists right now, but there's a LOT more female artists than there were 10 years ago.  Look at Yerf where something like 90% of the active artists are female.  I think pretty soon it will be about equal. 

FurAffinity seems to have a nice ratio of male and female artists, (More male than female) but it seems to have a huge number of male fans.

er...of all my friends that are artists, I had a lot [more then I can count on my hand, three times over] and all of them were female, and one or two male...that'd say something about the ratio no?
Fans on the other hand yes, men I think own that ratio.

I am female, and I do my fair share of hentai.

I know about 9 or 10 male artists that still draw and only 1 female artist.

These are ones that do pr0n, by the way.

I think there's more male porn artists, and more 'clean' female artists. If you look at it, the majority of the 'top' names (DarkNatasha, GoldenWolfen, ect.) do very little 'adult' art, whereas your more popular porn artists are generally male (Zen, Adam Wan, ect.)

Isn't the discussion artwork as a whole? not between porn and non-porn, I am asking curiously by the way...

A forum had a similar poll and IIRC, it was a ratio of about 2/3 male artists to 1/3 female with about 200 respondants.

if you ask on a porn board, you get more male artists.
if you ask on a non-porn board, you get more female artists.
which makes it kinda hard to get an accurate approximation.

I only know one female artist that does porn, and no males...
then again, this female artist happens to be a "close" friend.

Concieved in the heat of a discussion on the Yerf forums, calling for a Yerf-like art board that was easier to get into.

(disclaimer: I have no idea what it's like now, as it has to be a *really* slow day for me to poke around in there)

It was never mentioned that it was regarding artwork as a whole. Clarification was asked for and people have provided that. More male artists if you're talking adult furry art, and more female artists if you're talking non-adult furry art. The OP can base his conclusions (is there more adult furry art than non-adult) from that.

Being an artist myself, I would vote that the majority of furry artists are females. The majority of furry porn artists are male. Seems like a fair tradeoff, and I think it's the most accurate because of all the non-porn sites that have females as the majority.
In the end though, the majority of furry fans is definitely males, guarenteed. :P
