Furry Fandom and Drama General

I never got the appeal of 'adopts,' and I've been part of the furry community for years. Why would you pay someone else for a character instead of designing your own?
It appeals to the "ooh, shiny!" crowd. 90% of adopts are sold to people buying on impulse. The last 10% are sold because the buyer wants to have a piece from that specific artist, but doesn't feel like actually going through the effort of (and paying for) an actual commission.

If furry art were a supermarket, adopts would be the cheap sweets, batteries and disposable razors right next to the cashiers.

Zaush got canned from working on FA a few years ago and they dumped the UI he was working on (Phoenix I think). The current coders are Net-cat and Yak I believe. Why Yak is allowed to continue working on the site when people found out he's hosting fucking Russian sites on the server is beyond me.

How much you wanna bet there's also some darkweb sites hosted on the servers and that's why it's always running like shit?

I actually like them, but not the shitty, mass produced base stuff. Those generally feel unoriginal and I rather buy unique art than something made on a base.
Though the more expensive designs tend to be overly decorated stuff people end up just trading off anyway.

Personally I love the idea of weird species creation and such, and I think it's a cool idea for people to make their own creatures of different species, or hell just "Hey I can't draw, but I like this design and want to buy it" kind of deal.

Also it's pretty easy to just make up a bunch of random designs you enjoy, had fun making, but know you'll never use them. Those tend to be the designs I find make good adopts. There's an issue with people who get attatched to designs, sell them and regret it, then end up harassing the new owner to buy it back. If I make a design which is the opposite of the kind of aesthetics I enjoy personally I have no issue, and someone else can find something they love.

wait is this still about his commission prices, or are furries mad at miles for some new shit
Ha, you think furries could muster the self-awareness to realize $2,000 digital art is a ripoff? That's funny. No, he pissed off the woke furs on twitter for drawing a Confederate flag design on a dog's bikini top. I wish you were right.

Nope, you're thinking about someone else. This is why people are mad at Miles.

There's definitely people who are pissed at his prices too, I've seen folk on fur groups talk about it being a ripoff. It's kinda artists fault in the first place since so many people will underprice themselves to painfully low amounts just for a quick buck, to the point anyone trying to sell for actual industry prices looks unreasonable.

I do find his art bland as hell so I wouldn't bother with prices like that. But god it's better than people on DA selling fully coloured, rendered pics for '100 points' which only translates to 1$, then calling out people with higher prices.
