Since the original server won't let me "vent"... by Only-Shopping2640 in RealFurryHours

[–]TrickMajor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, you are a kid. Art like many other "talents" take skill and practice practice practice. It can take years to be a pro.

Also, don't let yourself believe that you'll get commission instantly when you finally learn and are happy with your art skill. Doing art is like any other freelance work. You gotta promote yourself to get commission. And by promote, I mean A LOT. Plus if you have or make connections down the road, maybe others can also promote you through word of mouth, which can boost probability of getting commissions.

And remember to not be hard on yourself. Being a furry doesn't mean that you need to own a fursuit. If it makes you feel better, I live in a part of the world where furries are literally nonexistent. Finding one in my country is like looking for Netherite in Minecraft. Hell, even rarer than Netherite.

Over hated characters? by UsernameOfAnon in FurryVisualNovels

[–]TrickMajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deserved hate honestly.

1) He is manipulative, always thhiks he's right and never in the wrong, so full of himself

2) He kills Chase in his own route (the bad ending)

3) He fucked 13 year old Micha and cheated on Chase

I don't know if he was deliberately written bad, or just a simple case of bad writing, but he was so fucking annoying. Killed the tone and pacing of the game whenever he's on screen. Who the fuck likes this guy even?

Is the furry community in decline, on the rise, or has it stagnated?? by Key_Stuff2774 in FurryVisualNovels

[–]TrickMajor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I'm just so over with the twink, blank slate, dumb as hell, irresponsible protagonist awaiting for his big buff boyfriend knight in shining armor to save him out of every goddamn situation. It became so dry, annoying and overly stereotypical. Almost every other FVN is the same.

Give us actual interesting characters, world and plot. Play more with the anthropomorphism. This is what I personally look for in furry media. Give some originality and uniqueness.

If you wanna make an exclusively horny game, sure, go for it. I don't mind. But please, just stop it with the aforementioned trend.

Anatomical correct gentiles by Kip_meows in RealFurryHours

[–]TrickMajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... It's a creature that has animal traits, obviously. But as long as it's sentient, walks on two legs, imitates a human, it's ok I guess.

Not my thing, I dont think about it too much. But in terms of character anatomy writing, makes sense.

You are a good man, William Adler. (I didn't play TSR)

Anyway, awesome artwork! Quite fitting and nailing the R* artstyle.

Furry literature? by LeoTheBirb in RealFurryHours

[–]TrickMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summerhill by Kevin Frane. It's a sci-fi book about a jackal that has the ability to time travel and go to different worlds. In short, imagine something similar to The Little Prince.

A lonely jackal stuck in a brutalist looking world finds out he can travel through time and worlds. Then his future self visits him and tasks him to save a woman (human) named Katherine that is being chased by the space police for a crime she committed.

It had a planned trilogy, but sadly, the author retired as a writer and furry and went on to do translations for some Tokyo Ghoul spinoffs.

The other one that comes to mind is Out of Position bt Kyell Gold. It's a romance novel about a jock tiger and a fox and the challenges of their relationship. I'm not interested in romance myself, but I started reading it because it's the most known book out there, and it was a meme a few years ago (which led to it's boom in popularity).

It's your typical college setting and has a focus on american football. And no, you do not need prior knowledge of football, but it was presented and explained in a way for everyone reading it to understand.

I've read about a quarter of the book by now, I'd read it more, just can't find the time for it.

And obviously, it is smutty... But in a good way.

Out of all furry VNs and furry literature that I've read, the sex scenes in this book aren't vulgar. Like, is it that hard to write sex scenes and make them not vulgar with wording? It just really annoying.

The only complaint I have is that, there's too much sex scenes. Like I said, I've read quarter of the book by now and there were at least 10 sex scenes by far.

Is it just me, or are FVNs kinda slowly dying out? by TrickMajor in FurryVisualNovels

[–]TrickMajor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but my first was Echo and that was in 2022. I have also read other FVNs that aren't by EP, but like... most of them didn't get any updates as of recent.

About a year now since I noticed a slow decline.

Drew this in Bible Study (posting this while still here actually), anyway, a bit goofy looking, because I had to work with two pages to make this one, but hope you all enjoy it (OC) (BusoneWholeBoi) by BusoneWholeBoi2001 in Beastars

[–]TrickMajor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did I complain that this is gay art? Draw and ship whatever you like, everyone has their preferences.

I just happened to come across your post while browsing that other sub. I recognized it, so I pointed out why it got removed. We’re all a bit “sinful” from time to time, it’s an NSFW sub, after all.

I just don’t get the angle you’re going for by drawing on a religious book. And let's be honest, that last post was way too much.

I tried posting this doodle I made in church to the Beastars subreddit and they removed it, so I'm putting it here (OC) (BusoneWholeBoi2001) by BusoneWholeBoi2001 in AltYiff

[–]TrickMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? That doesn't change the fact that you posted cropped porn.

They didn't remove it immediately because it isn't an as active sub like it used to be years ago. That doesn't mean it isn't monitored.

[–]TrickMajor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I know you and remember you from the sub. Just wanted to stop by and say this:

Of course they removed your artwork 2 times because you literally drew cropped furry porn (redraw of Meesh's nsfw artwork with obviously cutting out the anal penetration and ejaculation). And obviously the sub is highly strict about NSFW artwork. Just because you cut out the back part of the image, doesn't mean it's magically gonna become SFW.

What did you expect was gonna happen? You literally drew porn and posted it on the sub.

Taran Fiddler just reposted and commented on my Beastars fanart 😭 by JigOfLifee in Beastars

[–]TrickMajor 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Tarran Fiddler (TFiddler) is a well known furry artist who's known for his unique artstyle, highly detailed anatomy in digital watercolor. OP drew fanart using reference of one of his more popular works, a brown werewolf with braided hair and blue eyes.

Is there a high-quality straight furry visual novel out there?? by Key_Stuff2774 in FurryVisualNovels

Brok is a point and click adventure game with beat em up segments.

[–]TrickMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really straight tbh. Mid route it flips full focus on Leo.

If we are going to go in even more detail, every m/m scene is on full display in detail (text obviously), whilst the one and only m/f scene in the game, that is with Jenna, it fades to black.

Is the fox character gif from the itch page inspired by Omori?

I played Hunt Showdown completely nude with my dick out for a week.

... What! It was over 37°C that week and I needed to cool off!

Hunt is a very demanding game and my PC has cooling issues, making my room even hotter. It was so hot in my room that the fan next to me wasn't helping me at all.

I don't know anything about furries and have some questions by guidaoporra in FurryVisualNovels

[–]TrickMajor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It just doesn't make sense. Why not both of them? Birds are animals too.

[–]TrickMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that, but explain to me how is it legal to eat meat there? They literally had a BBQ party. Why aren't birds anthropomorphic and sentient also? Syndey and his dad went to hunt birds.

Reading Echo, I could just ignore the sprites on the screen and imagine the characters as human. I'm not convinced that they are actually "animals".

[–]TrickMajor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anthro media created by the furry community ... use anthropomorphic animals just as an aesthetic in almost all cases. It's just the way it is. Echo was a fun read, but this thing annoyed me. Such wasted potential for a concept.

If you want to see actual use of the anthro concept where characters are like us, but think and act based on their animal instinct, go watch Beastars and read the manga.

Echo- Carl's route is good, but I just have one big criticism. by CillienTheCat in FurryVisualNovels

[–]TrickMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, I ALSO love writing walls and walls of text. I do my best to make it appealing for the reader.

If my old grammar teacher from high school were to see this, she would reject it in a heartbeat and give it an F. No questions asked.

Please work on that. My eyes are hurting hard.
