That looks awesome, Blotch

wow this was a lot of work, right?

Twas about 3 days to sketch and ink, and 8 solid days of painting. >;]

You're a machine!! D:<

Woah. Epic

wow very nice indeed :D

-Fox

Awesome! I love it.

marvelous picture!! ^_^

Amazing, your art is just overly amazing.

Great one Blotch.

the fox hugging the nervous-looking chicken would be reason enough to fav' this work. Awesome work!

LoL I just get the joke when you mentioned it.

Where's Waldo?

wow, thats amazing. Great job :D Cant wait to see it!

that's a hell of a cover! i kind of wish i was able to go. D:

wow amazing work, that;s a hellavuhlot of detail!

You rule. Seriously.

good work!

damn! This is awesome!!!! boah excellent job Blotch!

Youch! What chops! Ah one day I'll have something from y'awlll.

Awesome drawing!

This... is... so..... stunningly beautiful... *jawdrop* :O

Wow, that is awesome!

FTW!

Yay, HORSY, YAY ZEBRA! =D

Brilliant! Wheres the tigers? XD
Just kidding! great stuff.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, would kill myself before finishing coloring all of that :B

tis why you continue to amaze me! :D

Man I can't believe nobody's noticed how great your work is!

I've looked into how one might paint fur textures in photoshop, but the amount of work that would require for just one character has put me off doing it, it takes long enough just to color and shade normally! I can't imagine how you could do it quickly and skillfully enough to pull it off for a picture like this with 30 different characters each with their own unique style.

How do you do it! If I'm not mistaken you use traditional media, so you couldn't even use photoshop tricks like brushes with shading built in that are sensitive to direction and pressure. And if you make a mistake you can't go back! How under those conditions could you do so many different characters and have the colors all look nice and have no apparent mistakes!

It boggles the mind.

WOW O.o awesome

Now this just completely kicks ass, Blotch. Damn...

You do some of the absolute best yiff paintings I have ever seen, and they are certainly enjoyable. But this...

Damn, Splotch, my man, you have outdone yourself.

Such a wonderful mood is projected by this painting; to look upon it is to smile. It stands for everything -- in my mind -- that places like FurAffinity stand for: community, belonging, and the wonderful happiness that these elements so wonderfully generate.

This is an absolutely wonderful piece, Blotch. I can only look upon it with humility and no small measure of awe. It is... awesome.

Masterfully done. This is inarguably a complete masterpiece.

What else can be said? Wonderful.

omg that picture is great. must have taken a lot of patience to do

I SEE A BIG BROWN BEAR WITH A NAME-TAG THINGY THAT SAYS BFB!!

BFB - BIG FUCKABLE BEAR? O:

woa

I'll just chime in with the others...absolutely incredible work. The detail and expanse of characters/expressiveness is awe inspiring.

Impressive.

this is SIIIIIIICCCCKKKK!!!!

like how big is this thing irl?

:]
It's a little over 11x17 in real life (standard size for a wrap around cover.)

woah thats a bit small format for something like this @___@

like dude respect, you are awesome

Christ... that's got to have been like... 120+ hours of work... I hope you get paid well... YOU'D BETTER!

Really though, you've out done yourself... I can't even express how impressed I am with this.

HOLY CRAP. this is ridiculously awesome.
i want to go now just so i can nab one of the con books!

oO*

Sofu+++++awesome!!!!!!

Holy Jesus in a cup x.x

I cant see any mistakes on it. Not one! Nada! How do you do these things? x.x

OMFG! that is amazing! the detail is mindblowing! like scanner mindblowing!!

Cool thing.

This is awesome! O.O How much time did you spend in this?!

And... is that Preyfar on the right?

Heh heh. It is a goggled hyena, but not Preyfar. =P

Oh! Sry for the mix up! >.<

Holy poop! Nice job there :)

Amazing!!

Wickedly amazing!!! =3

WOW.

Well that's one way to get a lot of species you haven't drawn much or at all out of the way, huh?

Blotch! <3 this pic! GOOD WORK!!!

Okay, okay! I'm CURIOUS! WHO is WHO on the cover????????? (where's da Moosie??)

That's definitely a hard act to follow. Masterfully done, y'all.

See you at the con!

One of the most amazing pics I've seen on FA so far! You get a fave from me!! :)

it is like a parade of cuteness!!!!


i love it!

Damn, just can't realy say how impressive this is and how it came out. Always enjoy your the style and mood of this piece. Really makes me wish that I were able to make it to the con itself as well, but alas. Still I am sure it'll be awesome.

How can I not fave this? ;>

Beyond gorgeous!

The critters with con badges are awesome. Hah! Cock lovin' fox!

:) wow, this is an amazing piece of art.
i love the tigers paws doing the 'rock on' or whatever that means in the background! haha, this is great.

I think it's supposed to be the "metal sign", but most people (like the tiger in this pic [unless he can't get his thumbs in]) tend to do the international sign language sign for "I Love You" instead.
Thumbs In = Metal
Thumbs Out = Love ^.^
He's just sharin' the luv from the back. He just barely made it for the picture, otherwise I'm sure he'd be front and center with the wolf. ;)

<looks at a tiny figure at the back of the crowd> Hey, how did I get in there? I'm not even coming...? ;)

WOW that's amazing. x.x

Wow.

I think this needs to be printed as a poster. :D

epic

absolutely EPIC

Hahahahaha, I love the feral duck walking by. X3

I seriously wanted to go, but I just went to AC the begining of July, so my funds are bit low right now. Not to mention my parents don't want me taking road trips to cons alone, and my non furry friends are all road tripped out. And I don't know any furs in my area.

awesome, that croc looks like Kaa :O:O

Nice job you realyl spent you time on this one!! <3

...That is awsome

Wow... very impressive. Definitely a lot of work was put in that and it shows! Thanks for doing it and sharing it!

I'm speechless...

but can say this... can not wait till next month to see that cover in RL. :D

God you have so much talent! drawing all those different animals!

And the ark would be right offscreen, I take it.

waaaaooooh, thats incredible! what type o media specifically? acrylic, oil? watercollors?

Now that's dang impressive.

Well done. Kudos... and a cookie cake. :)

@o_o@

There is definately unity going on, a mouse sitting on a snake's head whaaaat?

Your art is amazing as always!

I seriously hope you guys consider making a poster size of this for all the work youve done.. I would definatly buy one!

Print is available?

I...ah...buh... Oy, what a lot of critters! This is marvelous work, you two. Take a bow, because you've earned it!

Lemur... <3

And now... the award fer havin' the most critters in a single pic goes toooo.... ;)

pardon my french. FUCKING EPIC. you are are amazing. if that even begins to cover it

WHERES THE FREAKIN RAPTOR

Yikes. Obviously a "wrap around" cover, right, Blotch?

Is that a fox hugging a chicken? XD

I don't see a tiger anywhere! :(

Nice job, Blotch! (You ARE going to be selling the original at an art show in the future, right?) :)

Jesus you guys are nuts. Great job on on this piece.

Sweet action, mustve taken a while. Wheres the damn apple though??? ;P

To make it simple, I agree with all these other people :P Absolutely awesome, Blotch!

Amazing....O_O

You nailed it!
What does BFB stand for???
"Big Fucking Bear"?

Out of the water we have been blown,,, massively

Lol, there is like one female and the rest male. Kinda like what the convention will actually be like. :P

I was wondering if I was going to be the only person who noticed this.

I saw three females. -_-

Hyenas must wear goggles.
I'm sure that's a rule somewhere. ;)

Very very nicely done. :D

Is that Coors can in the bear's hand? ;) And is anyone supposed to be anyone in particular?

I love the BFB bear, he's totally awesome. I'm going to have to scrap together the cash to commission you one day.. It would be SO awesome.

Very kickass.. wish I could come!

You've probably already been asked, but how big is the original?

Thats really awesome!

Man, the GORILLA in overalls is Priceless to me I LOVE IT...

Please can you do GOR for me PWWWWEEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!

Aww, I see a gila monster, I think. ;3

o.O this has to be the most complicated furry image I have ever seen. You never cease to impress me, and the rest of the entire furry community. I can't believe you can push out such fantastic works of art, and at the speed that you work. I mean you have the comic, you just did AC and now this...all at the same time! This is so going on my desktop as a wallpaper, it is simply beautiful. I am only sad that as a non artist I will never be able to fully fathom the amazing amount of work that must have gone into making this. You rock Blotch, I have so much respect for your work, and it must have doubled or tippled just now! =^.^=

EXCELLENT WORK. +FAV

Flawless Victory =3

Wow, stunning!

I love it!

Incredible

Very beautiful and stunning work you have here hun. Did you model any of the characters on the piece after any actual furs or are they all made in just the general type o the animal. Fantastic work, again.

Damn. That's going to be one hell of an orgy.

;)

oh dear, they're invading us!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!! =C

Between the comments and the actual artwork, all I can say is 'HOLYSHIT.' and Blotch, I think I have my new desktop here. lol

GOD DAMN!!

I WISH I COULD BE AT LEAST 1/1000th AS GOOD AS YOU!!! T.T

AWSOME WORK!
YOU ARE ONE OF THE FURRY ART GODS!!!! <3

This is amazing

The lord of the Furs! LOL! .... no words... You dont put yourself as a principal char... or something like this... This is the most complex pic on chars what i see here...

I wish I could go!! *sniff*

It's gorgeous, as to be expected with you. :)

I'm going next year, dammit!!!

Save me a conbook? :)

Whaaat? No anatomically incorrect raver huskies of neon colors? This is not FA. C:
Ahh, I kid. Awesome piece, I love all the different species you crammed in here. I like that happy screaming canine in the back, lots. :'D

holy cow! such wonderfull detail!!
must of tooken ya awhile

Wow.... That's a LOT of detail crammed in there, and it looks fantastic. Organized chaos, just like the con itself will be, I'm sure.

And while 11x17 might be a small space for all that detail (I'm imagining major paw cramps), you must have a ginormous scanner. Awesome work!

ROLF chicken loving fox! XD

Great job on this man, great job.

Awsome group pic! ..these usually take alot of time to do. (I done one in the past with 37 simple caracters, and took a substancial amount of time.)

OMFG you are the best of the best good group pic

How could you NOT love this picture? I am just in awe of how wmuch detail went into it and how it seems (or maybe I am undereducatted) that anyone could attach a "hey, thats me!" to them.
The colorwork is stunning and I really don't know how you could have had the patience to work on the coloring for this for eight days straight. X_x

I am gonna have to stop talking now and just stare at the artwork!

That is wonderful Blotch! Too bad i can't go, if i had more money (or, if i didn't mind using my school money to go) I'd be there!

That is incredible work. Now I really wish I was going. Everyone is having so much fun.

if i could go. how to make any money is the major drawback. i would, sans paint costs, remake this as a full wall mural on a wall of your choosing, ...any size ie.
i guess i recreate better than come up with original content, bravo. but alas i cannot come. unless of course you can get my company the account for security and they could fly me to NY. :)
what's one more wish?
excellent is not enough word for this work, i (amazing as it may seem) cannot derive sufficient words *thunderous applause*

Dear lord, Blotch! That must have taken forever! But the result is stunning! Kudos to you!

This is just pure win. Period. <3 Beyond awesome!

this is awesome, and i can't stop staring at it.

Faved for all the work put into it, and for the African Wild Dog in the lower-left corner.

African Wild Dogs = love.

That is insane. I love all the detail! You're amazing. I love all of the unique species. We need more gorillas, crocs and buffalos in the fandom! Hehe.

And my animal knowledge isn't as vast as I'd like to think so I gotta ask- what kind of lizard is that next to the bunny and the husky? That thing is SO CUTE.

U never sieze to amaze me blotch. this is sooo many kinds of cool.

Fantastic work Blotch :3 I can't afford to go this year :(

Friggin' beautiful

Very, very awesome!
but one thing...where are the badgers!? ;p

nice pic btw...

draw more fennecs!!!!11 XD :P

awesome

very cool man

CARALHO!!!! @_@

yay glad this isnt another species biased pic ^_^. Glad you threw a gator in there to, pic looks amazing!

*Trying to find some gal on pic* Holy shit!! so many characters, no doubt how hard to see pics like it :)

Is that a secretary bird?

wow!! the awsomest draw ever seen blotch!!!! *set it as wallpaper* FA forevah dammit :D

That is really beautiful ^^ that's suitable for framing, without a doubt! I hope we'll be able to view the original at the con-- I love seeing real media up close ^^

[neo] Woah... [/neo] ^_^

Holy hell ink patience. xD The tiniest parts (making the glowstick actually glow) really help the piece pop.
~Kai

Now that's something to be proud of :)

Hoooooooly shit. O_O

i love the fox huggin the roster. its like WTF. great work!

love it ^___^

Amazings

This is awesome! Amazing work. :) Can't wait to see it in our conbook!

Beautiful, amazing work. Your talents with paint are excellent, and your anatomy and expressions just plain rock. I love your stuff even more with every piece you submit.. but one thing catches my eye here...

Where's th' wimmins at! Don't see a girlfur at all in that menagerie!

Oohwait-- Upon closer inspection I think I see two! And also, I must do the obligatory EEEE-bat!

Amazing as always. Choreographing such a large scene is always tough and this is top notch. Way to go!

Those furs front and center = HAWT!

Amazing pictures. The sheer enormousness of it boggles the mind <3

too many commens! took like an hour to scroll down that thing! aneways Great picture, hope you have fun at Fa:UNITED!

Dude.. This is so good.. I don't even know what to compliment. Just... damn.

NEEDS MOAR CHEETAHS!1!

...

Oh, wait, on second look there's a spotted arm sticking up from the back. *is pleased*

Amazing work. Lessee... I think that's the Kenket raven on the right, Blotch is just left of the bear, Fender is holding the FA flag... Beyond that I'm lost.

nice. well done
*does a standing ovation*

How can you not favorite that?! O_o; Great job! ^^

Cool picture, but I don't see any caracals.

wow that look sooooooo gooood...
great work, u have alot of patience... HAHA ^^ amaizing ^^

This looks super lovely colored.

So many shapes and sizes. :D

IS THIS HOW THE WORLD ENDS?
0_o

I think.. you are the most talented artist in all FA

very nice

Wow....just wow....

I want to go to FA:United so bad D: boo school schedual and no money lol

This is crazy awesome to me though.

All the little details in this are so great!

I'm sorry if someone's listed all these already, but did everyone else notice that all the main characters from Dog's Days of Summer are in there?

I love a little con badges, especially the tiny one that the dragon is wearing. :D

And of course, Kenket is up there in the corner. :)

Wonderful wonderful picture. No better way to commemorate the event then with Blotch at the forefront. :D

Good Lawd I can't wait! This'll be the best con yet next to AC.

Super Duper Awsome Amazing Great Grand Group pic.

I love it. AND YAY FOR THE GARDEN STATE!

WOW!!!! AWSOME PIC

+FAV+ +FAV+ +FAV+

I love your work so much

OMG...That's awesome.

It must have taken hours. Great pic!

Truly wonderful! I love the dragon with all the smaller furries on its back, as well as the wonderful expressions :)

you are gods among furries, truly you are

*looks for a wolfdragon in there* Mmmn.... =/

Awesome work there :D Really well done, love the characters and their interaction. Very well done indeed.

OMFG ITS PERFECT. WOWOWOWOOWO, KEEP UP THE FUCKING GREAT WORK!

I saw this on VCL not too long ago and i have to say that it is absolutely stunning. lol that fox seems to really like that cock xD

Good job, b. Mission complite on hardcore level. Return to the base. You are waited with a medal, a tasty supper, beer and baseball on tv. The end of the message. The corporal the Idiotic Smile.. I love you too.

Awesome work!!! :)

And just where are the dolphins? :<

FURRIES unite!

Awesome :)

Thats awesome! I cant wait to go!

Beautiful job!!! You've made a stunning cover my furry friend

Absolute winner.

If anyone could be trusted to do it, and do it right, it's you, blotch. (You too kenket, and you, BT. Sweet work)

What? No girls?

Look closer. ;]

Where? (if you're talking about the lemur, it looks much more like a travestite)

On FA for a day with almost 600 faves. Thats got to be a record and it's well deserved.

So much truth to that statement. =P

WOW, just simply WOW!

This is one amazing peice of art. You've out done yourself dude!

LOL! Gila Monster x3

Exellent job !

I no see a dragonwolf... WHERE AM I? I AM HOSTING A PANEL DAMMIT! *pouts in corner*

*yiffs you up trying to make you happy* <3

Ahh this is amazing , all the effort , detail everything! wow!

Looks like a typical furry con to me.

NIce work,really nice work.

!!!!!!!!

That's a biiiiiig Rednef back there. ;)

awesome ^^

You are just to awsome, and ive seen almoust all your pictures at the VCL before i knew of FA, keep up the awsomeness

That gorilla is familiar =3

Wicked! You've nailed the diversity of animals and different degrees of anthropomorphisation!

This is a thing of beauty! But DAMN...!

Your work paid off, this is gorgeous!

I would go to the con, if i had funds, and a reasonable way to get and stay there (that, and I can't legally purchase tickets, blah blah blah).

But this has got to be one of the greatest montages I have ever seen. >_>

Wow, that's a alot of work right there! @_@ Nice job!

Does WOW constitute as a good enough description for this??

(Theres been alota comments for this!)

There are few things I could say to this drawing that I'm sure haven't already been said, but I'll take a crack at it anyhow.

The artistic dedication and perseverenc you've shown in completing a piece this ambitious speaks volumes to your love of the arts. I am humbled by the scale of this piece, and you deserve any and all credit and kudos you get for this.

Fa.. blotch. rock on. this is a really really awesome picture and you would have every place to be so proud of it~!

Outstanding work!!! Wonderful expressions and beautiful textures! I LOVE the dragon looming over everyone in the background. :)

woah amazing job on this it woulda taken ages x3
Are they all random characters or do they represent actual ppls o.o
great job budy

It's beautiful! makes me want to shed a tear =) *cries*

I like the snake and how it smiles... >:]

Great! You drew a picture of the registration line!


Dude, *awesome* pic!

There's not enough foxes and wolves. Since, y'know, like, over half of the furry community is made up of those two species.

Beautiful Blotch. love the bear. and gorilla.

Hmm.. Whatever happened to women being on FA? =/

Simply...Amazing!

I love how the dragon looks over the whole crowd!

I love it!
i wish i could draw :(
-Wila Rayne

You even managed the subliminal 'foxes love cocks', too! Bravo.

Also, nice rendering.

I lurv you mister chicken *squeeeeze*

wow, thats some artwork. Amazing detail and such quality again. Amazing.

Something in my brain just popped....

that's not good, is it? :3

I am in AWE!!!!!!!

wow thats so cool!

who else but Blotch, to draw this? X3

The sheer amount of work this must have taken is incredible, as is the end result. This thing is awesome.

Makes quite the back ground ;3

Heh, I love how the fox is hugging a disturbed-looking chicken to himself.

wow that is verry well done :)

Holy wow, Blotch. You really blew me away with this one!! But all of your pieces just really take my breathe away, you are so talented! The colours are nice and subtle yet you can tell which animal is which! Outstanding!

Holy shit. That's way too much awesome on one page.

I DECLARE IT BE THE THE ULTIMATE OF AWESOME.

Wow. You're amazing, with all your stuff.

250th comment!

^ did you count all comments to know which number your one had 0.o?

Anyway...to the picture...WAY AWESOME o.o

I'm probably just as amazed as everyone seeing it, this is like a compilation of awesome x3

Holy cow dude! o.o That is just awesome! I'm sure it took a whole lotta hours to draw each and every individual animal and color them uniquely like! This picture is just awesome! :heart: :)

I'm sure there's very little to be said that hasn't already, but I'll add in my kudos. A suberb remresentation of the enoumous variety in our fandom!

A masterpiece. So much details so many different characters and such great expression. The best pic I`ve seen so far since 10 yrs of fandom ;)

XD the flag

Omg!!!! About Half Of Them Are Nekkid
Creat Style You Have And The Colours are Awesome

what they ment to be real people's fursonas?

Total win. Nuff said.

this is amazing, look at them all!! big and small!

Damn that musta taken a while...

wow, amazing o_o I would think the original would be way bigger than 11x17
I love all the different kind of animals in there

*litteraly dies*
I think we have a winner here :)
impressive work... but like always... (well... here you have added the number of furries...)

Surprisingly, I didn't see any white tigers in there. Can't have everything ;)
I DID see the tiger dude in the back waving his paws in the air though. :P

~~~Fusion

that pic is making me cwy its so pwetty

I find it so amazing that you have such good grasp of all these animals' proportions, like diff ear, nose and head sizes.
And I love how you color fur.. don't think you can color this good digitally.. I have greater respect for traditional artists.

And another thing that really gets to me about this it the expressions.. you even have a great grasp of that!

All the little things makes it feel so alive!

I'm in awe before your skills. I would love to be able to draw/color anything I want to, like you can.

Just love this, it has a soul.

Wow, it looks really good!

Wow you scored a lot of Comments on this one, I have to say that you Win for drawing this, I don't think anyone else has anything that could beat this. If so I'd like to see them try.

FA FOR THE WIN!!!

Holy. Crap. ^O.O^

The varity of species is one of the best things you did here. I have not yet seen a flamingo on FA but, yes, it had to be there. Throw in all other above praise here and let this comment just add another drop to your sea of fans.

That completely great, I realy love this art, it should be FA banner forever...

COOOON!!! Eheeeeee!!!

AWSOME!!!

Wow. That is amazing. *jawdrop*

That's really amazing! So funny, so detailed, and so holy crap!

I have three favorites out of all of these that I really liked:
- The fox hugging the rooster
- The laughing wolf? (seen between the bear and the rhino)
- Fender. Sitting so proud upon the shoulders of the zebra and the ape.

It's so sweet I now have diabetes.





I'm so suing

Hoooly crap... Wanted to ask though... Are you going to go to FA: U? =DD

this should totaly be the banner.

*faves*
Very much awesome and now it's just hit 1000 faves, too!

Grats on the Ursa Major Award win for this pic!

This picture drops my jaw so low because of the fact that this is done traditionally. Well done with the complexity of characters and the composition. Very challenging to add a variety of species on the same image. Thus the notion to gather a variety of species defines the meaning of "FA United." Excellent work!

No tiggy?
Well good work ^^

There's a pair of tiger paws in the back. ;]

Mph.. Wants more tiggy ;)

Well anyway, you draw fantastics! I want so badly to draw like you!.. Hmm practice, practice, practice..

Waitasec. I see a deer with sunglasses in the right, is that who I think that is? >_>

this pic really kick ass

LMAO!!! The rooster and fox!!! i love it!!! the whole pic is amazing... but the both charac are so fun!

holy fucking shit that was well made......

going to have to look up the rest of your work :)

Extremely Roarin'!!!

POWER TO THE ANIMALS!!!

IT'S ORGASMIC!!!!!!

i gots one of the panflet thingies from a furriend who was a lead volunteer there. ^+^ I was shocked when he handed it too me. I was so happy! ^^ One of the best pics evur~!

Wow... just ... wow :O

please tell me that the bfb badge on the bear stands for " big fucking bear"

Why are they all male? is that con for male artists?

whoa...All i can say is epic...o.o

Simply without words, you'r a god of the furries ilustrations and comics, this pic is one of more beautiful that i had seen, thanks for gladden us our view with your works arts, id like to have your inmagination and your creativity.
One those furries that appear in this ilustration is Jack the kangaroo about Dog Days of Summer, right??, and the otter could be Bayshore??
