would you let people send in their own designs for critque i feel like that would make for a fun side blog cuz i love ur advice
yeah maybe! We'd prolly be slow though just because this blog is stressful to run. Mods only tend to pop in when we get bored (every month or so)

bringing this back for the caffeyeen situation
people are such idiots these days about ART. Art SHOULD make you uncomfortable. If you cannot handle uncomfortable art or art with themes that you find "immoral" then you shouldn't be online, period.

ayo mod would u be willing to break down yuru (desmous) style ?
Yeah!! let's do this :) I'm gonna assume you meant toyhouse user Yuru (who's account is now closed) if thats not who you mean then im sorry that you're getting a style breakdown of a random user. Oops <3
so what we have here is a style that's very inspired by early 2000's work, more 'amateur' techniques used by younger DA artists. This style seems to favor palettes of white with a few saturated accents, or a neon palette with a few neutrals and a black for contrast. We have a lot of long bodies and sharp lines, with hair and fur texturing that's very 'stringy' for lack of a better word.

the artist seems to favor what i referred to earlier as 'amateur' techniques but they're used effectively!! the gradients, crunchy color fills, airbrushing, and messy linework is clearly purposeful and draws inspiration from the old emofur stylings. The eyes are very kemono-esque and the hair is often very reminiscent of older manga and anime.
I say that a lot of this is purposeful use of "amateur" technique to evoke nostalgia because in the cleaner ref sheet shown below, we see a slightly cleaner style with less airbrushing and more intentional shading and even some nice rendering on the hair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So to summarize we have a style that utilizes these key ideas
Emofur/early 2000's nostalgia
young/amateurish aesthetics
thin messy line work
white + neutral + black + 1 saturated accent palettes
neutral + black + saturated rainbow palettes
mspaint asethetics (the out of place texturing, stamps, gradients, etc
for my personal opinions on the style! I find it very effective at what it does, it's clear about its intentions and does what it wants to very well. The one thing I would like to criticize is that a lot of these characters are lacking in unique and recognizable silhouettes. Even if you keep the same body type across your style, I think it's important to consider how you can implement props and unique outfits to create more unique designs. This also might sound odd, but yuru, if you're reading this, consider getting into 3d modelling!! I think your style would be very well suited to 3d character modeling, look at folks like dreamalgia's 3d models for examples of what i'm talking about :]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think overall, while many people will not find this style to their tastes, it's well executed, consistent, and clear about what it wants to do. I would encourage the artist to branch out and experiment further (should they wish to do so)
I especially would encourage further exploration with the use of unique texturing and patterns, recognizable silhouettes, and different color combinations. Some of these designs feel a bit confused about where the 'central detail' is supposed to be focused on. Balancing your negative space vs occupied space more consciously would really tie this style together.
My hat goes off to this artist, i'm sad they've deactivated otherwise i would subscribe to em.

Thank for having brains and not just blindly calling fictional things bad lol people are talking shit on other blogs but honestly? It’s always so tiring to see a callout on those blogs / toyhouse in general with serious accusations like calling someone a pedo/zoo or insert whatever other serious thing, and then it’s just fucking anime girls or an anime dog. :,,) People can bitch about this blog but making their own is easy 🤷 just wanted to throw my two cents and say that I appreciate y’all tho
of course dude^^ we try our best to be a good blog that doesn't just regurgitate callouts. Very anti harassment and such here babes <3

i'm tired of how trendy it is nowadays for people to draw furries in suggestive poses, drooling, sticking their blushing ass out at you with their thighs bulging out of their socks, flaunting their womb tattoos and lingerie, and their entire body drawn in such a clearly fetishized way, and then the artists INSIST that it's entirely nonsexual and that anyone who thinks that it's even SLIGHTLY sexual is some perverted creep. like just admit you draw softcore porn bro. nobody gives a shit.
I think it's a symptom of the purity culture of "you're EVIL if you draw X" so people feel the need to justify their stuff instead of just realizing that drawings don't make you evil/a degenerate/a pervert. So you end up with people drawing self labelled sugar babies with fertility tattoos and throwing a tantrum when someone says "hey man that's kinda nsfw."
it would be much easier if we just let people draw what they want but made them label it properly!!!

Also I think furries are some of the biggest hypocrites when it comes to fictional problematic content. Dog on four legs bad but it's ok to draw it on two legs. It's still a dog. Where's the disconnection here? And often these artists quick to dogpile users for "feral porn" draw animal dog dicks and focus on the extra furry parts in their art. Users can talk about being fucked raw by a feral werewolf "savagely" yet will call others zoophiles for warrior cats shipping. Make it make sense!
The double standards and the amount of just plain hypocrisy is so so silly. I want to take this time to say, if you've been "called out" for drawing porn or vent art people didn't like, you're not a bad person. You're the victim of a harassment campaign. You deserve love and care and your art does not make you a bad person.
Some of yall need to join republicans the way you wanna regulate artistic expression.

Pop designers will use "art takes TIME I have bills to pay!!" to excuse dropping the shittiest 20 min scribbles lmao. Ghostshunt in particular will drop someth not even finished yet slap a label of $800 on it. wrt tatfiresou, all their adopts are clean and really detailed so i agree they would be worth a lot more but holy shit seeing ghostshunt flick some paint on a art program rough scribble and people say nothing. if it was from anyone else they would not sell
shoutout tatfiresou for making gorgeous work that's 100% worth the money <33333!!!!
AND Fuck ghostshunt all my friends hate em. I might do a critique breakdown of their work for fun.

Pop designers with easy simple to follow TOS 👍 thank you. No stupid shipping discourse "don't trade to proshitters" line, no "if you're bad i will revoke it who cares why do you have a problem!!!" shit, no "if youre x identity you cant have the design" stupidity. What's to stop someone from lying abt someone else to get the design / start drama? Once you have SOLD the adopt it is not YOURS no matter how bad the person owning it is.
YES!! I'm so glad I have normal people with brains in my inbox. My god. If you don't wanna give your design to someone because they might be a "Bad Person TM" then you shouldn't be selling designs!! Imagine working in a gallery and denying a client's sale because they drew something you didn't like. You would get laughed outta the place !!!!
some people have no concept of how design ownership actually works.

What exactly makes a pop designer a pop designer.
Like amount of followers?
generally yeah, and name recognition. If someone can say "i have x designer name in my TH" and people flock to it, you have a pop designer there
