Cons:
-shoes??
-hard to animate
-doesn’t really make a ton of sense evolutionarily speaking
Pros:
-without an ankle, their glutes and thighs will be doing all of the stabilization meaning you have a biological excuse to give them a massive ass
OMG everyone I know the ACTUAL story behind the gif this time!
Yes, it’s in Australia– that’s a big angry goanna that wandered into a popular restaurant. All the Australians in the vicinity went OH FUCK NO and cleared off, because goannas are mean.
The waitress you see there is a French exchange student, who was quoted as saying something to the effect of “I thought it was a weird ugly dog” and had no idea it was a reptile that wanted to rip her arms off. She’s been hailed as a hero who saved diners.
It’s amazing what power “not knowing” has.
The thing I especially love about this is this is a pretty dangerous animal, except she managed to defeat it by just fucking grabbing it by the tail and walking too quickly for it to turn around. Once again the animal kingdom is thwarted because we evolved opposable thumbs, long limbs, and reckless bravery.
weird, ugly dog thwarted by foreign exchange student and polished floors
my take-home lesson here is that nobody in france has ever first-hand seen a dog
I would like to ask any artist who sees this: Please, if you don’t already put your username on your artwork, PLEASE, start putting your username on your artwork. It’s not ugly, it’s not a distraction from your beautiful work. You deserve credit.
Write it next to the character, get creative and put it in the background as part of the visual, throw it on the left side of the image, avoid the bottoms and tops of the image though as those are easily cut off.
MAKE IT ANNOYING TO EDIT IT OUT.
PLEASE.
MAKE IT BIG.
MAKE IT FLASHY.
MAKE IT PART OF YOUR ART.
And please block any art thieves. Report them if they steal your stuff, tell people whose stuff has been stolen. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT. Don’t let people trick you into thinking you have no right just because it’s fanart. YOU DO. IT’S YOUR ART.
