Up until this point, my anthroforms have been shown as attractive creatures. Unfortunately, in the real world, the anthroforma are gross amalgams of several kinds of animals. Rarely aesthetically pleasing, they usually are not sentient and live in squalor, especially if the fusions they underwent in embryonic development provided them with limbs or organs that have reduced functionality.
Bobo here was luckier than some - he was not killed at birth for being hideous, and he was intelligent enough to be taught how to speak. Unfortunately he is still quite stupid, and rarely knows what's going on around him. He does have opposable thumbs (of a sort) though, and he is immensely proud of them.
I tried to make him look repulsive, but as soon as my brothers saw him they were like "Aww he's cute!!!" *sigh* I just do not know how to draw unappealing things, I guess.

Oh, he's a bit like Shrek in a way. He's some kind of monster, but you can't dislike him. "Cute" is way too much, but he looks friendly, yeah.
Reminds me of parahumans, like Patricia Piccinini's. She really can make some impressively twisted stuff, in a non-disgusting way.

Some things are just so ugly, that they're cute. Take my mom's dog, for example.
You did an awesome job on him. I got into a convo with someone before about the idea of real anthros. Honestly, if I seen some crazy ass morph of any animal in real life, I'd get freaked the hell out. I'll stay content with my art. ^^

I just had to laugh at the irony: http://imaginarygoddess.deviantart......ature-25368742
First off, just let me say I am not trying to be nit-picky or make fun of you. I really do like your work and enjoy looking through it. I also enjoy noticing common threads either in your comments or the artwork itself.
I also agree the Bobo looks cute. It think it has a lot to do with the big grin in the upper left image. He looks sad and pitiful (i.e., like someone you would be likely to have pity upon) in the lower left picture-- I think it is they eyes and like he is telling his life's story based on your description.
In this case, it was: "trying so hard to be pretty..." for your ridiculous creature while Bobo is described as:
"I tried to make him look repulsive, but as soon as my brothers saw him they were like 'Aww he's cute!!!' *sigh* I just do not know how to draw unappealing things, I guess."
There is the other ironic part of "I think this poor little dear is my fursona. I can identify with her."
I could be wrong, but I think the image contains every fursona you have ever had (I am at least aware of the unicorn, snake/naga, and rat/mouse)
Followed six months later by more irony:

"I don't really consider myself a furry (or an anthro or whatever they're called nowadays) but there is just something about snakes that I find extremely sensual. And the idea of a naga just makes me melt.. :faint: *glee* So here's a naga. I don't draw them much because I know I don't give them justice, but I decided to give it my best shot anyway."
All of that followed by your account here a year and a half later.
What a fun little journey that has been for all involved. Thank you for being willing to share it.
I'm not complaining, I'm not saying you are never allowed to change your mind. I wasn't even aware of most of this thread until I was looking at everything on a whim tonight. I certainly wouldn't have remembered what I put on a comment two and a half years ago let alone last week. I just happened to click on the right things to stumble blindly down this bunny trail. That's pretty ironic or lucky in itself.

Ha.. jeez, that's the problem with my pouring my heart out to the internet through the years.. I keep changing my mind about things, and when someone points it out, I feel pretty ridiculous (I know you're not trying to mock me, but still). When it comes down to it, I've loved anthro creatures forever, but when I actually found the furry culture on the internet (after I drew that unicorn), I didn't like its sexual aspect or its reputation, so I made it a personal goal not to have anything to do with it. It's pretty fairly obvious that I was just holding myself back, especially on a creative level, but some things like that naga still came through.
Bobo isn't meant to be a fursona, or anything resembling myself. He's just a character in my little imaginary universe. You may be reading too much into it, but then again, of course I'm going to put aspects of myself into everything I create, because, well, I'm unable to do anything else.
In either case, I'm pretty flattered that you've been looking at my stuff from way back in the day. It wasn't really good artwork, and some of my opinions and attitudes (especially from before I got my tablet) are just too humiliating for me to want to remember. But still.. thank you.

I think I lost the original intent. The real initial irony was simply that two and a half years ago, your tried really had to create a unicorn that was as beautiful as you are and had to leave it as "trying so hard to be pretty." Now you try to create a repulsive creature (I never took him to be another fursona) and instead, you end up with cute and lovable Bobo. It was just one of those "Fated by the Gods that I cannot win" things like Oedipus experienced.
I still enjoy looking at some of the stuff I did back in Jr. High. It is nice to see how far I have come, that I have made real progress, and to remember the little tricks I used to use that still work, they are just better now.
Having gone quite far in the way back machine, I have to say: I am very impressed with what you accomplished in MS paint. I have only seen a few people who did anything worth looking at in that medium. I have also seen several Photoshops that look far worse than your earlier creations Thanks for never giving up on your talents .
