All Bark No Bite Patch by Mothsprout

[fruitblush]

were you inspired by sakrafka's predator+prey sticker designs? just curious :-)

iv had the idea since i saw a similar transparent sticker by someone (i want2 say mothsprout but i cant seem 2 find it again so maybe not?) after id drawn that wolf with a rabbit inside,

and safrafka helped solidify it, im doing different animals and dofferent art style n stuff though so hopefully its different enough :-) ots very cool

edit also if anyone knows the original one im thinking of pls show me ...

(keep anon if it isn't on, please)

genuine question. should we all start paying attention to artists that salem reblogs on his tumblr? or only the ones in which they mutually reblog from each other? i've noticed he's reblogged a couple of artists i looked up to either currently or in the past.

i like willow's/fourleafisland's art a lot, i have for a couple of years now but i saw something a while back saying that they reblogged something from salem, or vice versa but it was also mentioned that willow may not have known. does anyone know if this is still true?

i'm not as petty as to disengage with someone's blog just from a one off encounter, but as an artist that posts my own stuff i really don't want to fall into salem's circle.

some other artists i'm somewhat concerned about:

sout999 (i've seen salem reblog from him a couple of times but i've never seen him interact with salem back unless if i missed something.)

(forgot their username but they had a dark brown deer/reindeer? fursona with super saturated red and blue swirly/hypno eyes) i guess this one kinda answers itself since i have seen that person reblog from salem before, but i have seen them involved in circles in the past where i knew the other person would be triggered by propara stuff... i'll list some of the artists below that i've seen in the same circles.

bupzbie (i used to follow him a couple of years ago but i was in the same-ish circles, mutuals with some of his friends and whatnot. i'm pretty sure he was good friends with that deer fursona person, i've seen him interact with them a handful of times before)

2bruza

faunbuns (i've never seen them reblog from salem before but they were mutuals/friends with bupzbie)

kurofai/bibiken/wizardcap/igaueno (looks like they drew pawberri's tumblr icon)

sorrysap/battleguitar/badsyndrome/feliburn (friends with bibiken)

if anyone knows or can think of anymore plz let me know bc i know how furry circles operate and maybe i was a bit naive not to realize it before, but after seeing the hehymn situation unfold right after the nas situation happened, literally the exact same thing, i will never not be suspicious of certain furries that seem clique-y like that. jpegdisco, mothsprout, etc.

srry if any of the artists mentioned above see this i don't want to drag someone into all of this but as someone with trauma like cocsa and being taken advantage of throughout my entire childhood and teenage years i'm tired of finding an artist whose art i really resonate with only to find out they're openly pro-para. it makes me feel so betrayed and gross and we should honestly be shaming these people more.

i don't care if a stranger fantasizes or copes with their own trauma privately, but why make a blog about it? why talk about it? why violently fetishize real life scenarios so openly with so little regard to who sees it? you people love to abuse the rhetoric of 'you're only a perfect victim unless if you act a certain way' but don't realize it goes both ways. i've seen the way that people who hold these attractions and beliefs shame people who simply don't want to see this stuff, or even so little as question it.

also am i the only one that kinda notices the propara shtick sometimes seems like a last resort for some people? fr34kpet or however you spell their username used to be peaceskiies, comfortpuppies, etc and had multiple callouts on their back. radio silence for years until they rebrand under a new alias posting feral porn. same with salem, called out multiple times, ran off the internet multiple times, comes back under a new alias with propara views. i've seen this happen with some other artists as well in the past but i can't remember who they were.

this is pointless to mention but i did also think it was interesting how pawberri also goes by ramiel and has a bunny fursona just like how deadbunny does. what's next? another ramiel? salemiel? lol

honestly. it is impossible, to keep track, of furry circles.

a long time ago, i came to live with the hard truth, that being in furry circles, inevitably, means you will have 5 degrees of separation, from people you hate. i do not just mean, people you personally dislike, or people you have beef, with. but ACTIVE, zoophiles. pedophiles. abusers.

furry, has long had an issue where popufurs, will shelter and protect their friends. no matter what. to the degree, i have seen furries that raped irl, and were accepted back with open arms, while their victim was chased off the platform. i have seen ACTIVE ZOOPHILES- not art. not fantasies. people who SEXUALLY ABUSED DOGS, IRL- be accepted right back into furry, with open arms.

knoxapoppin, the partner of wild---life, a furry that was exposed TWICE , PUBLICLY, for her zoophilic attractions. is still a popular dj, that continues to perform at cons, to this day. he has faced no scrutiny. no backlash. nothing. he is the partner to an animal abuser. but furries love him. and wild---life suits, are still in popular demand. this is the same, with artkour, and their zoophilic partner narmin. who self admitted to fucking IRL ANIMALS. self admitted, to being "addicted", to IRL zoophilic porn. yet artists like nepeteaa, continue to get suits from them.

there was a long time, i did not dare call myself furry. to this day. i still do not like to. but, liking cartoon animals, means you will be within these circles. this, is why i am so adamant, on protecting queer and alternative spaces, from people like this. abusers WILL manipulate situations, to make themselves the victim. they will wax poetic, about "lies" against them. and if you do not bother to research yourself. you will be an enabler, of an abuser.

the best thing to do, is to stay alert, and keep our spaces clear of IRL, ACTING PREDATORS, most of all. you will drive yourself crazy, trying to block out everyone associated, with a bad popufur. protect your peace, most of all.

Excuse me? I was wondering if there is any way you could help me here, I hate my art style so recently I've been making a folder of styles I'd prefer and decided that i like nature-ish styles like drawing animals and using more mute colors! (Like your art and other artists like @mothsprout) so is it okay if i asked some questions? you don't have to answer them all,, but how do you pick your colors? Your colors are always very calming and pretty! How did you study anatomy, your anatomy in art is very good! and lastly, how did you find a style you enjoy drawing in? whenever i attempt to draw i always get sad because i can't draw how I'd like. thank you for taking your time to read this, have a blessed day!

For colors, I like a lot of different types of color palettes. I tend to work quickly and color intuitively if I'm not tryna be super accurate. I also like to test out variations on a color before committing and I know a little about color theory - but it's like seasoning food, ya measure from the heart.

This goes for your other questions as well, but for color especially - a good exercise to try is to look in the world around you and find colors that look good together. You can figure out why they look good together if you want, I feel like do a lot of looking at things in the world and making mental notes about colors to try haha. The sky is a good place to start, she's always up to something wonderful.

I actually find anatomy very challenging! My strategy is to balance practice and stylization... I like to do figure drawings as practice. If there's an animal I'm stuck on I'll import a bunch of photos to procreate and trace over them so I can see the shapes better before making a drawing. It takes time to learn how to see the shapes that make up objects and translate them from real life to 2D space. Sometimes it's good to say fuck it and draw silly cartoony for a while so you don't get too stiff. I have shelves of sketchbooks filled with straight up scribbles.

That's good for style issues as well, it took a long time for me to settle into a style I like - part of that was I had to let it be malleable, I didn't find A Style and stick to it, I continually find things that I like about other art or forms colors lines out in the world and try them out on paper. I need to stretch my style regularly, if that makes sense, like push it into different forms in new media and different schools of art. Use physical paints if I haven't in a while, or try a new folk art style, etc.

Good luck with the skills you are working on and remember to have fun drawing!!
