artist evolution (style changing?)
Grygon
pieces to sell from 2 to 3 years ago. I miss that
stylized/abstract/designed version of my work. Today I am so affected by
all the other "realistically inclined" fur artists the two styles are night
and day to me now.
Has any one else noticed a drastic change to their style?
I am thinking of trying to revive that part of me that loved to make designs
(highly affected by native american art back then) and abstract furrys. It
was so easy and fun and more free than the style I try to do now a days. I
wouldn't worry about where the pen was going, I would just let it guide me.
Now a days it seems every line and color scheme MUST be planned before hand.

Yep. Well maybe not drastic but I see improvements. Improvement comes
with practice and discovery. One learns from mistakes or finds new,
often better ways to achieve a piece.

Hmm, I Haven't really been drawing for very long, However The only Art
I really look at much, apart from some furry art, Is socialist realist
art. So I suppose I try to make It look realistic in many ways.
When I was in London the other day, I saw a very nice print of Stalin
in the "father of his country" pose, but it was too expensive :o(
What ultimately I would like is to be able to produce something
similar to and as blatantly cheesy and naff as the finest of socialist
realist art.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be many Artists What draw socialist
realist Anthromorphic art,
Which is a pity, since I think Pictures of Half-Naked sweaty
agricultural labouring Furs gathered around the big red tractor,
while one of their number writes a letter to the great man of the
people would look very nice.
>Has any one else noticed a drastic change to their style?
Mine Gone from Crap to less crap.
Though I thought drawing Cubist antromorphic animals might be a nice
idea.
>I am thinking of trying to revive that part of me that loved to make designs

Hmm, Not to be rude or anything, But I sometimes think there's too
much Native american themed furry art around, You can't seem to sneeze
without some wolf with feathers attached to it's ass being drawn.
What I want to see Is Pictures of Stalin (nicknamed "The Wolf From
georgia" so you can draw him as a wolf) standing around pipe in hand
being jolly with fellow proleterian labourers. (presumably before
haveing them all killed)

I don't bother With planning or Colour schemes, I start off by
doodling things till something capture my imagination, And then If I
finish It, I just play about in paint shop pro with the spray can, Hot
wax Coating, Burn tool and transparency till it's done to my
satisfaction.

Time and only time will tell us
tell: was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through
I'll leave mercy behind
I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they'll cover my life
But I'll also remember mine
And after all I'm still alive
I'm still Alive

Didn't that movement end in the 1950's? Most furs draw what is affecting
them today. And we don't really seem to have any desire for propaganda art
in the fur society. At least I haven't seen much, in general.

That i not what I meant. If you'd ask to see my old art you'd see what I
meant. Not wolves with stupid feathers (I think those are laughable,
myself) but animals (any of them, not just native american themed ones) with
abstract and geometric designs. Hard to describe. But they were only
INSPIRED by native american art (I took a history class for that), so if you
showed it to an actual native american or historian they'd laugh at every
one calling it "Oh hey, that looks like native american work".
Ok, that probobly made no sense to any one but those who know my old art and
who know native american art.

I got/developed creative block (sounds painful) in my 2nd year
of art college. It stopped being fun. Obsessing about
photograhic accuracy hindered my efforts. I now have to force
myself to create things. Training your skills should be enjo...
No. Maybe you shouldn't even think of it as training. Simply
make things for the hell of it. Learn to lose control. Some
of my best work was completely spontaneous. That's why
it's good to always keep a sketch-book handy.
You can see some of my work on-line.

Hmm, I Know What I want, and I like cheesy Propaganda art.
The Core of Idealism and blatant cheesiness speaks to my soul so to
speak.

Oh Right, I won't claim To know anything about it, But I do recall
Seeing some of those geomteric patterns etc, In A T.V program about
Some canyon dwelling Cannibals Who ate bone marrow.
IIRc it has some similiaritres with Aborginal Art? Or am I bark-ing Up
the Wrong tree?

I will not yield,
To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet,
And to be baited with the rabble's curse.
Though Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane,
And thou oppos'd, being of no woman born,
Yet I will try the last. Before my body
I throw my warlike shield: lay on, Macduff;
And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"

Oh, the horror of it all. We share a taste for Soviet Realist
art. Strangely enough you will find a lot of it on the walls and
ceilings of US Government buildings built during the depression. In
the town where I used to live the Post Office had some great
AgroRealist art in that style.The place had the class to be different
and not paint over it when it fell from fashion during the Cold War.

Well... if you got the doe, why not commission some poor starving furry
artist? And I mean that too, don't go after these well-known artists in the
fur community, I've seen their commission pages and they will sometimes
literally charge your neck and first born. O.o No offense to them, but
their heads need to be reattached. IMO.

Close. As I said, just inspired by it but I do not try to recreate any of
the actual patterns. I do what my OWN hand wants to. I've done a sketch of
another jackalope, I really crave to color it but I also want to see if my
old style is still alive, so I'll be making two versions of the same pic.
