@ TheSaintofKillers: while i'm not personally a fan of the furry art either, who are we to judge her for her tastes? If anything is going to earn the disdain of the mods, it's the rude behavior and personal attacks mate, they are against forum rules, and more importantly are poor form.

That said, Ill just leave this here...


I love the Salamander in this. A more badass loyalist i've yet to see.

What constitutes "good art" is entirely in the eye of the beholder. Most of the pieces presented so far are "commercial art", meaning that the artist was contracted to produce images of a certain type, with a certain theme, in a certain style, for the use of a commercial venture (such as a bookcover, as it makes it more eye-catching on the shelf, and thus potentially increases sales) in exchange for monetary compensation.

There are many people who would not consider this "art" but, instead, "business". Less-forgiving artists might call it "corporate-shilled gak", but I am not such a one.

But, on to da artz!

An Inquisitrix in a pretty-blinged suit of PA. Yes, it's from a SOB art blog, but she's got more =I='s than she does fleurs, so I'm thinking she is either one of those rare Sisters who gets taken up to be an Inq, or she is an Inq of the Ordo Hereticus and has badges of honor commenting on her service alongside the Daughters of the Emperor.

Very good use of light and shadow to set the feel of a 40K cathedral, IMO...

Spoiler:




Possibly NSFW... highlighting some of the extreme religious devotions of the Adepta Sororitas. Though it is not reserved to them alone, this is actually still practiced in some religious sects in the modern world, and was fairly common centuries back....

Spoiler:




Come to Chaos! We have cupcakes!

Spoiler:




I should probably reserve this one for a more-timely use... but, nah...

Spoiler:




I like this one for its in-universe appropriateness, combined with the fact that it's a real-world parody...

Spoiler:




What are you doing?
Oh, just flamering a Greater Daemon, no big deal. What you up to?

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

Your attitude and your posts are both against the spirit and the explicit rules of this forum, OP. While I'm not among them, many people enjoy fanart. Many people also enjoy furry related derivatives of canonical material. The definition of art that you provided in your initial post is nonexistent, so you've no one to blame that material you don't personally like showed up. In addition, your elitist and exclusionary attitude is thoroughly unhelpful. You could have made a polite request that people refrain from posting fan art, furry art, or non canonical art, but instead you chose to not only insult another user, but issue an impotent threat as well as engage in a juvenile attempt to circumvent the profanity filter, violating three forum rules in a single post.

The hobby isn't about exclusion, it's about inclusion. One person's art is another person's garbage. You don't have the right to declare something 'not art.' There's enough furries in the world to make a convincing case that such a claim is wrong. You could easily (and justifiably) have claimed it was 'off topic,' if you had issued clear guidelines about what you were looking for, but again, you neglected to do that.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
