I am assailed by the lunatic fringe. 8/

^ Here you're find a couple of loopy furs telling me how wrong I am to draw dragons as prey. Even my attempts to placate them by pointing out at least five artists (Markie, etc) who always draw dragons as preds failed; it only made Loopy Fur #1 angrier. Loopy Fur #2 and his monologue about 'Holy' dragons is almost scarier than Loopy Fur #1's 'I'll get you for this' insanity.

My options are down to telling them to clam up or ignoring them, so I am choosing the latter. I'm going to keep right on drawing what I like and ignore them.

I probably shouldn't post this here, but I'm pretty aggravated about the whole thing.

Wow amazing

Like they have any rights or something on your work... :roll:

just ignore them.

There are indeed a few people who get a tad attached to a specie to the point that they can't stand seeing one getting hurt at all. I agree it is a frustrating situation for both side. Hopefully sometime they can calm down a bit and hope it doesn't disencourage you! (Actually I think it made you draw even more just to bother them.. no?)

Sort of. I was going to draw a part 3 anyway, but the conversation that gpes on between G. and the dragon was partly inspired by a certain dragon's comments. And if I do a part 4, it will also be partly because of them. 83

Dragons arent always the top of the food chain...heh, matter of fact, as far as I'm concerned, the "top" of the food chain is whomever is the hungriest.

Strega, and this goes for everyone else here, too: don't let anyone tell you what to and not to draw. And, if they dont like it, feed 'em to someone! Winding up as fat on someone's thighs shuts up many a heckler...

I have a feeling they are both just trolling for replies, ignore them.

The comment about "angels as prey" made me smile though. Maybe I should post some of my work there and see if they go nuts too? :-)

Wonder how they'd react to humans eating furries? :twisted:

Yeah I thought that was really unfair for them to do that to you Strega. Heck I drew a couple of pics with a wolf swallowing a dragon (poorly drawn ones :lol:

) and no one seemed to chew me out about it. Just ignore em. Let them make fools out of themselves. In this fetish, anything is possible!

You would make Bruxa very happy. ^^

I say f*** them, Streggy. Your art rules, and it's nice to see a dragon as prey for a change (I hope Sophie doesn't read this :-P

). I say do part-4 to spite 'em, hehehehe!

Hehe, well said Vorish. ^^

by **Strega** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 4:55 pm

Thanks for the defense over on the board, Vorish. I'm trying to calm things down by talking to Shappa via E-mail, but the guy keeps getting weirder. Apparently dragons are some sort of religious object to him. That's not easy for me to wrap my head around, but I'm trying to be nice. 83

So..... I just gotta ask.

Anyone really thinking about drawing a Skunk eating Jesus? ....Cuz that one guy in India with his chickens seemed to think it would be the next big thing on Big Gulp.

I think that comment was taking it a little too far.

by **Requiem** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 5:34 pm

Doro, Vorish, and I have a lot in common. We like to pour fuel on the fire, occasionally...

by **Strega** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 5:34 pm

That would make SUCH a good pic. 'Oh Lord, why has thou forsaken me?' *BURP* But no. I got in enough trouble with the dragon whackos, I don't need all the religious furs coming down on me too. 83

I am glad you're not going to let these "problem people" stop you from drawing. They seriously need to take a few moments and realize that (firstly) due to the wide diveristy of culture that exsists in the world something that they consider "important"/"sacred"/"special" will not be held in such regard by others and (secondly) that it doesn't really matter what other people think of their "special"/"sacred"/"important" species.

It's not like your picture(s) of a dragon getting eaten are going to suddenly make their special creatures any less special to them, just like how McDonalds serving beef hamburgers (in the USA) is not going to make the cow any less sacred to the Hindu's. (At least I think that is correct. My apologies to any misconceptions and/or errors my post has.)

Oh, I am pissed now.

Who does this guy think he is?!

by **oldman40k2003** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 3:36 am

Good Lord, he just goes on and on and on, like an evil message-posting voraphilic Energizer bunny!

(I had a well thought out post I was going to post, but then I realized that he *must* be a troll. And since trolls crave attention I've decided to not give it to him. He has to be a troll, right? No voreaphile could ever be so dense as to not realize that vore is a wide-ranging fetish and that they might come accross stuff they don't like... right?)
