A New York Moment was a great idea for a name, but some didn’t seem to understand why I made it. I want to point out now that I changed the Blog Moment to now be called “To Be Honest…” it makes a clear cut line statement that I WILL type what I feel about any given situation. And I WILL type about how I think the community feels if that input is needed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and this is mine.

So on we go to the first post!

CONTESTS!

Ohhhh wow, do I hate those FA contests. How many times do you see on FA posts with “I will draw your character here…” or “Say my name to everyone and I’ll give you free art after my raffle of xxx submissions…” ? I can not stand this crap and there is NEVER a regulation. It’s just free willy-nilly all over the place with artist trying to push out there name and get the publicity. What ever happened to good old advertising and word of mouth? Did anyone ever stop and think if one person does a contest then everyone else will do one too? You don’t see fast food chains doing contests 24/7 365 days a year (*cough* Mc Donald’s on the exception) ?  It’s because there is supply and demand a standard business practice. If a artist has what others want then people will flock that artist. So maybe, just maybe instead of a contest the artist should say… I don’t know DRAW BETTER.  I don’t think going out and doing a contest will increase your long term revenue, as it will only be short term. Anyone will take free art if it is there and that doesn’t take smarts. NOW, NOW, NOW I do not make any of this full under those who do it for charity. Those who put their paw out there to help others I think are great individuals.

I do have one question to ask to anyone who cares to answer. WHY is there no type of regulation to any art work sold, auctioned or given in contests? The fandom has now a big enough base that I am surprised no one takes a step up to fix anything.

So in the end I say, “If you are going to do a contest, stop and think because you probably aren’t the only one doing it.” .

Anyone know any good Minecraft furry skins, and where I can get them? I'm getting tired of being a Planetside 2 New Conglomerate Heavy Assault soldier.

Before they were surfing, before they were singing and dancing, before they were even marching, penguins were… resting among the dandelions. Throughout the variations of Bloom County and all of its off-shoots, one constant has been the penguin known as Opus. Now creator Berkeley Breathed has brought together all of the Opus full-color Sunday strips from 2003 to 2008 in one hardcover collection, Opus: The Complete Sunday Strips (appropriate, huh?). Besides our shy, friendly, waddling friend, this “magnum opus” (sorry…) also features many well-known and well-loved characters from Mr. Breathed’s comics new and old, some of them making their final appearances. Amazon has the book available for pre-order, and IDW Publishing will have it out this December.

I am 27, and looking for more Furry lovers a little closer to home. Maybe some closer gatherings, meeting new people, maybe start a new friendship!

Author: Rakuen Growlithe Not criticism of the fandom (though that’s fine too) but of the material which people post — and not criticism of its topics, but of its quality. We need people to point out deficits in artwork or stories so that they can be fixed, even if it can be tough for the creator. [...]
