Artcow Half-dude / Ian Knau - Car Fucker

I really don't think that this guy has the potential to be a cow, you guys. He's pretty cool, even if the whole loving a car thing is really, really weird. Maybe he's like Menstrual Pad Guy 2.0.

This talk of OS and everything is actually really interesting... I mean, I don't see the appeal at all, but you are quite reasonable about this, @Half-dude!
 
It didn't lead to any trolling actually, I commented on F+'s thread beneath the episode telling them I was there and had listened to it. Last I heard they were thinking of having me on for an interview, but for whatever reason it didn't seem worth my time to follow up with them on that. I guess I figured why should I owe those assholes anything? Plus they kinda gave me the impression they'd just troll me if I actually went on the show.

They actually have a series of shows interviewing people from the communities they've read from. I haven't listened to it, but I'm pretty sure they don't mock, as the whole idea is to get "the other side of the story," so to speak. I'm not sure if they're still doing it.
Sorry buddy, the SWC forums only (are supposed to) let real Mechs and OS people have accounts. It's to protect us from trolls and people who'd steal things we say off the forums to re-distribute online. Somehow someone from F+ was able to get on there though and get a bunch of my art and things I'd said off there though...
How do you know I'm not? ;)
That's why so much of my art has so much bezar fetish stuff in it. Cock Transformation, Inflation, stuff like that.
What the what? Like turning people's junk into a car or something?

And finally, and you don't have to answer this, since I know it's pretty personal... Have you ever been diagnosed with a mental disorder or gotten mental healthcare? You said you went through a pretty rough patch before you met Lily, did you ever seek help for it?

I can definitely see what you mean about the 'Strange Love' documentaries being kind of sensationalized, and focussing too much on "look at this weird shit!" Are there other media representations you're fond of, or is Animism really the only decent one?
 
Hey, Half-dude! Don't have much to say about you being so chill that hasn't already been said, but I have a quick (and dumb) question:

What are your thoughts on truck nuts? Obviously, they aren't congruent with your vehicle genitalia headcanons, but do you find them charming/trashy/some combination of the two?
 
Here's an unpopular opinion. Everybody is sort of pressured these days to accept almost every fetish or depravity because they want to be perceived as open-minded and sex-positive, but you know what, I think it's okay to be a little judgmental sometimes. Especially if the guy you're judging likes to stick his penis inside cars.

But that's just me.

I, too, wish to know this. You don't have to go into specific details, mind you, but I'm just wondering if you've ever sought treatment for, well, anything, really. It doesn't have to be because of your relationship with Lily. I'm of the mindset that everybody needs a good therapist, even the most well-adjusted individuals.
 
@Half-dude

It's reasonable to assume you see all cars as people in a sense, yes? How exactly do you see certain types of cars? Like I'm sure your Hyundai you see as an plain average girl. How would you see something like a Land Rover, or a Caterham? Or an Ariel? What about cars that have been modified, or racing cars? Are antique (pre-1920) cars a bit like elderly people to you? Does it also extend to motorcycles? Pun not intended.
What about cars built in different countries, do you see them as people of different nationalities? Like say, a Volkswagen, would that be a German person to you?
 
i won't lie, i've been through your gallery a few times on dA and i actually like the non-nsfw stuff a lot. though i will admit, i am impressed by the.. erm, detail in the nsfw stuff, and i can kinda relate in a way, fussing over small details like that that make an altogether bigger picture. pretty cool stuff!

The baby cars are pretty cute, actually.

What do you think would be the best way to portray an OS character in fiction?
 
What's this? A cow that's full on polite? I thought @UncleSamPatriot was a dying breed of person who had eccentricities and could be polite about it.

I was wondering why this thread both got featured and had several posts, since I only glossed over the OP when it got released and I only got back to it, uhhh... now, when it hit 18 pages. @Half-dude, you're cool btw. Fortunately you don't seem to have any shitters here but don't let any other negativity get you down. People're quite interested in your work.

BTW Ever wondered how the nuclear cars from Fallout 3 worked? Took the liberty of overthinking a lot and showing a possible design. XD I had to do a bunch of studying into nuclear power just to do this!

Just gotta say, as a Fallout fan I actually really did enjoy looking at this. I'm a weird lore nut, probably from my childhood binging on wikias, so stuff like this that gives an in-depth look on even the most miniscule of things does pique my interest a lot. Your other artwork's pretty good btw. I wouldn't say it's fantastic, but hell, it's better than a lot of other shit that we've usually meandered around, and quite frankly I'd say that most of it is pretty interesting and, dare I say, kinda cute. I think the only thing I can't really get around is the whole idea of reproductive parts on cars and the whole pregnancy aspect, but that's honestly just on me. You seem cool with it and it's really just not my taste.

Again, welcome to the Farms. So, out of curiosity, do you have any other interest outside of cars? Any hobbies? Some video games, films, or whatnot that you enjoy and follow? Any of those interests overlap with cars or whatnot? Just curious here.
