The Seduction of a Metaphor
(bandwidth:vcl)

This is the first time I've done a finished piece with outlines in forever. You really have to have outlines to nail the Art Noveau Hair, and having strong outlines printed in a color besides black is also good for a lot of points of Noveauness.

In case you haven't noticed yet, I like raccoons. They're the only kind of critter I have more than one example of as an active character I play on a muck, unless you count the two sequential variations of a crazy butterfly. This does not mean that any girl raccoon I draw is Me, though this one has much the same arrangement of sexual characteristics I do. I have a nicer ass, though.

The sketch started out as a cheetah, for no immediately obvious reason, and got revised into a raccoon. Weird.

(Addendum, May 27: removed from DA. OH NO PORN. *shrug*)

The chapter on cute male gay porn would be huge ;)

Dibs on Magritte.

I could do the philistine styles. c.c; I've had plenty of practice already!

Oh...lord....*grin*

I knew that was gonna come back to haunt me!

It does have a nice visual flair, although for some reason I always associate your work more with Art Deco...

Wow. The refinements you've made since I last saw this piece have really brought it together -- the clean outlining on her hair, the background. I love it.

I suppose this is within the same period as Kin's Robert Indiana vixen, but I would love to see you do something with a Peter Max/Yellow Submarine/deco-psychedelic style. It would suit your amazing skills with line, although, horror of horrors, you'd have to use a lot of primary colors. ;)

(I can only wonder about the ref to Pseudo's post...) It's a lovely drawing, Peggy! Linework!!!! I have a weakness for that. Truly lovely, sweeping curves. Usually wonderful, subtle palette, too.

This history you refer to is sort of the tack I've always taken with my own stuff; I don't approach furry art as an outsider, meaning that I don't draw furs as if they're something apart. I try to draw the art furs would have if they were 'real,' hence the abstract, cubist stuff. The recent series I've been working on for "Arro Swimwear" is an even more conscious attempt. I'd personally love to see an attempt at what you suggest, even if porn isn't my thing. :"D There's a very subtle step that I don't think most folks take in assuming the furry 'world.' The book you propose definitely do that.

Don't lines feel warm and fuzzy? :"D

Oh, thats very nice.. adoreable!

Oh, yum.

That's a very Art-Nouveau cock too, somehow. *nod*

That colonnade is creepy. Or maybe it just reminds me of Jim Woodring, who is creepy.

Wow, love, you work fast! Also... dare I ask... who gets to do whassisname Art Fromm, the panties-around-the-ankles-with-celery guy? :)

*chuckles* If this actually happens, I'd love to try one of those "fat, flat chick" Renaissance-type paintings even though that wasn't strictly pornography. Hell, I'll do it anyway when the next round of inspiration/motiviation strikes.

Great hair, cool background elements, and it's always enjoyable for me to see non-typical sexuality in this day and age instead of yet another 'Absolutely' female figure with saline DDs or another 'Absolute' male with 12 inches and so much in the way of hard muscle that it'd be like having sex with a boulder.

Is that imagery of Arphalia's available publically?

[chirik.livejournal.com]

Hmm, lots of good comments, so I can't really add anything. Very nice picture, though - I love the way you can do different styles.

Admittedly, porn isn't my thing, though, but it's a nice piece ignoring that. ;-)
