Forgot to post this to tumblr! Did a sketch of Gaius in the very early stages of wyvern-ification from the Dungeon AU. Despite how much I love to torment and traumatize the boy, what I also love is how hard he fights to still find joy and remain optimistic! He’s a wonderful hunk of sunshine that keeps on shining <3
The general opinion of furry art as “easy” or “easy money” in the wider art community is kind of insane to me. Learning to draw hundreds of unique animal features ON TOP OF humanoid anatomy is, probably, the hardest thing any artist can subject themself to when it comes to drawing characters.
Not even mentioning drawing them in a way that looks natural- look at how many human only artists draw furries completely uncannily, because they cant adjust proportions accurately. The amount of human artists who cant draw a digitigrade leg at all, when anthro artists have tons of different levels of digi they must learn if they hope to get any commissions, because furries have preferences for the leg they want.
You need to know how to draw bird features. You might have to draw an elephant. You could be asked to draw an anatomically accurate anthro bee. Tons of furries are taurs. How in the world is the amount of skill an anthro artist needs to have considered easy.
it’ll never fail to amaze me that chessex, the game dice company – like if you bought your first dice set from a game store/comic shop/card shop you most certainly bought a chessex set – has such an ugly and poorly designed website. it looks like they went out of business 15 years ago.
i don’t know what’s better, the fact that they only sell five different things and felt like they needed a site map, the single uk location with the giant union jack, or simply the times new roman header which reads:
“The coolest dice on the planet.”

THEY HAVEN’T UPDATED THEIR WEBSITE IN TEN YEARS????
my mistake, literally every single page you click on has a different copyright date. so far I’ve seen 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and most recently 2012. amazing. well done chessex.
BUT LANA HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO ORDER DICE?????
you….you have to email them your order form. oh, gods. you…have to type your credit card information. into an email. so they can charge you seven dollars in shipping or 7% of the total order cost if it’s over $100. fuck. if you have questions about the cost of air shipping, you can fax them anytime. jesus christ. oh gods. fuck. fuck me up. chessex. the coolest dice on the planet.

this is another reason why I let my friendly local store make my chessex orders for me
Me: The Chessex website isn’t real and can’t hurt me:
