"Clevuh gurrrl..."


Thank you so much! Have a gigantic post with my favorites from the old thread. We'll start with the Original Character Do Not Steal in your avatar:

















We'll finish with the Ultimate Original The Character:

Moonfeather posted:

I must stress these are all diferent forms of the same soul, me. They all reprisent me, and are not characters or fursonas unless otherwise stated. the 'Anthro' form is moreso a Fursona. Also known as Mooner.

Extra info:
Arabian horse X Kings cheetah X Shriek X maned wolf

No one..not even I..know what the bucket Shriek is..she is a species unto herself, and just..is. Kinda like a velociraptor as if it were a mammel with lotsa horns and spikes...a further form of her is Paranoia...I have a few drawings and paintings of her. My friend drew an artwork with my Paranoia form in it for me. Paranoia is a variation on what species Shriek is...She has lots of back spines and the more upset she gets the longer they grow.

Every reference I've made is compled into this one sweet package, notes included!!!

Quad to anthro to mixes
From equine to cheetah to anthro to shriek to were to mixed.
Different horns to different colourings and markings
Different eyes to different ears.

This is the whole shebang sistah!

Half arthropod, half marshmallow, all cute.
I love how all the cheetahs are king cheetahs, that makes them that much more ~*special*~.

Also, thank goodness maniraptorans were far weirder and cooler than those draconic monstrosities

E: also thanks, always wondered where sweeperbravo's av came from.

Anyone have the link to the furry who had the GBS thread about speaking like a retarded british child on christmas? His deviant art was full of some pretty funny airbrushed poo poo.

Theres a reason Tumblr and Deviantart have so much overlap, they looooooooove being special. Those sparkledogs are a good example of everybody trying to be so special and unique that they start to blend into an indistinguishable mass of colors and shapes.

Have you all seen the wonders of DA "adoptables"?

I'm not entirely sure what anyone does with these but I think the basic concept is someone designs a character and other users purchase it meaning they get the right(?) to draw/use that design as their own. The truth of it is that most of them are recolored copy/pasted pieces of poo poo with designs so generic if you saw one you actually did like no one could prove you stole it.









All of these are for sale for DA points or art trades.

You want bad advice?

Anything is okay if you don't get caught!

... I hope this helps!

How to make an original character:

1. Draw sparkledog
2. Chop its head off
3. Wait for the praise to roll in

On another note, character references are practically ubiquitous on deviantart. They're pale imitations of character references used by professional animators and modelers. These references help the artists keep a character looking consistent by providing guides such as closeups of detailed bits, height comparisons, multiple angles, diagrams demonstrating how moving parts move, brief notes on the figure, and so on. Here's an example of a professionally-made one.



The vast majority of character references found on deviantart aren't made for this purpose: amateurs are simply imitating professionals and other popular artists without thinking about the how or why.

The whole process confuses me. I've seen it done by actually quite talented artists on Tumblr too, and they sell like hotcakes. Is it really that hard to come up with the idea of a rottweiler in slacks and a hat? Really?

I'm not sure if his deviantART is SFW, IIRC it was a load of his teenage friends photoshopped to have furry features. They were clothed and all but it was clearly a fetish thing.

How about some SPARKLEDOGS?!


Here's Sammy, s/he looks pretty darn sparkly to me! :neckbeard:


Look at this badass, he's so ruff and tumble.


I'm pretty sure this is a parody but my eyes hurt from staring at it too long. It's still terrible and crazy, thus it goes here. If you want to subject yourself to reading that and determine if it's a good parody or not, be my guest.

Every version of this thread is my favorite.


Especially seeing your avatar, sweeperbravo. It takes me back to the last version of this thread, and just the phrase "gums are also green" sets me off laughing. Don't ever change it.

The misspelled words and everything make me think that its a parody, but if everything was spelled right there would be nothing about it to indicate it wasnt 100% serious. Is it a poor parody if its completely indistinguishable from the real thing?

My thoughts, more or less. Even if it's a parody, it's still pretty much every SPARKLEDOG attribute rolled into one eye-bleedingly garish image.

In my years of gawking around on DeviantArt Safaris, I've noticed that the site is like, the amateur foot fetish capital of the internet. So many regular, ugly, flash photos of feet. Loads of boring loving feet. I'm amused that foot fetishists are apparently so easy to please.

A vast, vast majority of the foot-centric stuff I've seen on DA tend to focus on tickling. Just loads of cartoon characters getting their feet tickled by other cartoon characters. I'll never understand it.
