@howzanet another thing is that vitiligo is not the only thing that can cause hypo-pigmentation, so people specifying their ocs having vitiligo instead of just letting it speak for itsself is tacky to me, particularly if you can tell they dont know what theyre talking about at all
@Kittieeepaw THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINE IT TOO. dawnpelt > sandstorm > rootspring > mothwing is who i see. would LOVE to see the red version with descriptors like rose, orange, ginger, dark ginger, and russet ^_^
Morningkit: Did you know that 1 in 3 people are ugly
Starlingpaw: I'm not ugly
Morningkit: Me neither
*Both stare at YOU. The reader.*
Starlingpaw: Must be 1 in 4
Morningkit: Starlingpaw you're fucking ugly
@Kittieeepaw unfortunately hugely tracks with how much of a hypocrite cheetahz was desiring professionalism and work ethic they couldnt even put in themself
@lycancthropy THEYRE SOOOOOOO CUTEE!!!! i love the firesand with squirrel and leaf id super love a cinderpelt one especially, i loove seeing people draw anthro cats with mobility aids the way you draw anthros is so eyecandy
i legit was in the middle of a psychotic episode till i remembered ai generated bulgarian warrior cats cover and it snapped me out because of the ridiculousness
@Burden_Existing@TheFurryDragoon art style theft is more of 'a thing' in the east than it is in the west, which i have my own thoughts on and i can see where the concern is coming from, but downright nastiness is not helpful in any way. this happened to labubu and no one gave a fuck, its just giving thing japan
@Burden_Existing@TheFurryDragoon its comparing apples to oranges honestly. independent artists get their work stolen by corpos all the time which is what people are acting like is happening here (and not the opposite?) i have my own handful of problems with the campaign but this is really not one of them
@muppkit the cons ive been to are pretty good but my friends always agree that thats our local cons are just especially good at crowd control so i cant answer anything with bigger groups (which i prob couldnt attend regardless bc its a sensory nightmare in more than one way)
@obscuritea ive been considering making my characters fatter because i know that theyre going to get slimmer when other people draw them so hoping it cancels out and they get drawn as their actual design or something😭
@muppkit yeah theres so much negative attention that people dont realize is extremely stressful and not going to get results because people dont work well under social pressure. regardless im not super into backing mass manufactured plush and would rather something handmade anyways
@puddingtimeYay@maybekelab yeah like i think theres fair criticism to make about it not just being like fanmade indie merch when they are sending the info to manufacturers but where the hell was all this talk before the extremely long preproduction???? ive heard about this project for like a month at least
