Been Thinking
a lot after Bronycon about my identity as an artist.
I enjoy both doing stuff for the furry and pony communities. At BC, I kinda got the feeling that I was either appealing to one or the other (pony, mostly, obviously), and not this kinda, intertwined appreciation that I was hoping for. Lots of artists around here draw for both, and I love that, but I’m afraid to ask if they feel like they’re losing out by trying to appeal to both.
So what I’m getting at is, ponyfolk, when I draw furry stuff is it turning you off from liking my art? And then the same question for the furries about pony stuff. What is it that really drew you to my art?
I love drawing for both communities, and I see it being that way for the foreseeable future. I’m not gonna be one of those guys in the “artists you miss” thread on derpibooru. However, I wish I could just stand on my own two legs, and just feel like I made a successful work no matter whether it’s pony or furry. Big hugs and kisses to those who follow me and like both.
Sorry for rambling because of these nagging feelings of not-belonging.
