Lou's new art- $25 by the dude's most recent pricing sheet that I saw, incredible that the dude managed to make the face the worst part of the whole thing.
Guess Lou gave up on trying to get a muscular character lol. Also that's such an awkward hand pose versus a more natural and sexier thumb-hooked-on-belt-wrist-bent.
Is this guy normally a human artist and just furry for pay? Because... that face is not good. Doesn't look much like a tiger either, facial patterning on a tiger is like, easy-mode shorthand for species identification and it looks like he didn't know and didn't bother to pull a ref and just went 'fuckit, the rest has stripes so good enough'. Also it's mystifying that this guy is expensive because... well, getting a lineart was probably the best available option, dude's color work is painful baby's-first-airbrush.
Edit, because every single artist Lou commissions makes me laugh: imagine spending $250 and getting THIS.
Looking at his acrylic work compared to the examples of digital work this is definitely an oldschool traditional artist who has no idea how to maintain definition and edge control when working digital, jesus god.

It looks like Nancy Pelosi
Of course he's begging for a new table. Goddamn, the brass balls on this guy.
He posted some more helpful photos of his hovel:

Imagine the smell. Who doesn't clean up before taking a photo that will be posted publicly? I'd be mortified.
10 Teabags?! Is this normal? Iced tea isn't really a popular thing here in the UK, but that sounds extremely excessive and wasteful. He'll be buying more to waste at the same time as the new diffuser no doubt:

Also, major lol at the new avatar. Looks like a Klingon tiger
As a real wahman, he could at least make a few bucks on the street corner getting teabagged. Just sayin'

If I’m brewing a gallon of tea, I never use more than 4-6 tea bags, and even then it makes some strong as fuck shit.
Although we all know Lou is an impatient sunovabitch and probably
Also, for that electric kettle thing, he does know that you’re supposed to use a diffuser in the glass and not the kettle, right?

I'm not a connoisseur of furry/comic book drawings (they all draw better than I ever could), but I really wonder what these artists think when they get these Lou requests. The color and shading these artist can do really improves what ever concept they're trying to convey. Then they get this Lou request; flat dimensions in black & white, so a 40 year old man can treat them like a coloring book with his MS Paint 'Bucket Tool'.

Except to be more accurate it should look more like the Duras Sisters...like, the really obese one that they hide away and never talk about because her obesity is just too dishonorable even for a house of trators and theives.
They know that most of their clientele are Autists and mongoloids who are just going to stroke their little NEET peckers to the drawing, so they probably don't think about it much past worrying about if they got paid in full.

Interesting. I thought he was starving? Is he planning to eat the table? So much for needs before wants.
You can find perfectly serviceable and cheap furniture at secondhand stores like the salvation army too. I got a solid wood table once for less than 10 bucks. I suppose to be perfectly fair though I had the means to get it home myself.
Still not edible though. When he begs next he should say right there that he will waste the money on wants because that is what he's doing right now when he's getting a windfall. Fill your pantry first before buying a new computer.

>waking up at 7 AM
Boo fucking hoo. I wake up at 6 AM on weekdays so that I can go to work and support myself. You'll never see me complaining about it though.
>stuff coming out of you
I really hope he's just talking about his morning piss.

How is THAT worth $250?
Lou certainly has a knack of finding the worst possible artists, and they don't even give him their full effort, lol.

Ha! His fast food gave him the squirts. Wonder which company will have to endure that twitter wrath?
I'm sorry but what in the absolute flying fuck is this anatomy and posing
I don't know jack shit about furry art, but I do know when something is awkward and wildly out of proportion, and not in a way that is "stylized". This can't even be justified as pin-up anatomy; there is absolutely zero depth to the body, just look at how shallow the clavicle area is.
/end of art spergery
The artist clearly half-assed this, which is worth noting given that Lou has commissioned them before. I'd wager he was a very difficult customer, so there was zero attempt made to keep this from looking like a lumpy mannequin with Downs
(Edit to fix image cause I'm tired)

I just happen to think...if Aark had gone through with the fraud investigation/charges, all Lou's Amazon, PayPal & online purchases would be investigated, right? What he grifted versus what he purchased. And there is no way for him to get rid of that shit. Even if he closes out the account, the record is still there.
It's a very small comfort.

Lou tends to be very picky when it comes to food and the products he consooms, so it's really strange that he doesn't complain about the quality of art he commissions. Does he just not know any better, or is he scared of backlash from the artists?

Lou would have money for Wal-Mart if he hadn't, ya know, spent $600 JUST LAST NIGHT on a computer. Just saying.

God, that is just so, so Lou. Some random inoffensive guy sees him whine and reaches out privately with a polite and respectful suggestion that might solve both of their problems. So naturally Lou puts the poor guy on blast, publicly and on a much bigger platform, and shames him for it, apparently in an attempt to bring a shitstorm down on his head. And for what? What did the guy do to deserve this?
*deep breath*
You know, I need things like this, I really do. I need things like this to remind me that Lou is a terrible, rotten, cruel person who does not deserve happiness, and that it is right and even morally imperative for us to mock and deride him for it. If anything, we let him off easy.
Most of Lou's consooming pickiness as far as food and luxury goods are concerned seems to stem more from a place of trying to scam money via complaints than an actual concern for quality imho. He just really likes to buy things, and he likes it even more if he can get his money back while keeping the newest shiny. Artists don't really have a customer service rep that he can complain to for freebies, so I would assume that accounts for the discrepancy. Having said that, according to that post about the latest poor sap he put on blast, he has been bitching about the (admittedly atrocious) hips of his latest commission on fA. His MO seems to be to bitch about artists' work where they can't see it, but not complain directly since all that would do is get him blacklisted and keep him from being able to shell out more of other people's hard earned cash for shit art
