LOL Such an appropriate pic.

Guess I'll post here. I know I'm hugely slowpoking, I'm sure - but I see the ClubStripes threads every month and usually don't glance much at them, but i did for Dec 2009 as I caught on to a comic I really thought was well drawn. I know they get locked at the end of the month, but do they get deleted too? I went through all of /dammit/ and couldn't find the old thread, I wanted to save the images I was looking for.

>>4
Yep, they get deleted at the end of each month.

It's a fucking tube with the sheath still sticking to it! It's like Gideon doesn't know how to draw a real dick.

Our arrangement with ClubStripes dictates that the monthly threads get locked and deleted at the end of the month, yes.

I was REALLY bored the other night and thought up a stalker/girlfriend (or sister, maybe) for Cox.

Mariana (nickname: Mari)
Gender: female Species: fox
Stereotypical all-star jock/socialite
I haven't thought about a physical description much, except that she has a vagina comparable to a level 99 Bag of Holding. She's always tight, whether she's using a toothpick or a skyscraper and her exterior appearance never gets distorted (no stomach bulge from objects that would dislocate all internal organs in a normal body).

I just really dislike emo-ish girlybois, and decided that Cox could use an antagonist of some sort (I'm pretty sure he's gay, otherwise a girlfriend is fine too) to put him in humorous troublesome situations.

Well shit, I wish I had saved the past pages of this series when I had a chance. This artist's line-work is awesome and is very detailed. They draw anatomy extremely well.

>>15

The original pages are on Miles-DF's FA. What's being posted on ClubStripes is the official coloration.

And I'm sure that it's possible to find the pages you've missed elsewhere. *cough* >_>

>>16
Um...not sure what you're implying, sorry.

You can find a less-than-official coloration here: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/furiatsu/

Room for two? On that thing there's room for an NBA team.

Oh boy.

>>63
I'm mixed on this, cause really I can't afford so many paysites, I liked it when he was part of the Clubstripes package. But I mean yay for him having his own site and the fact that those CS people that hate him can stop griping now since he's now off in his own little corner.

I dunno what to think really, I mean I like his art, but do I like it enough to pay for a site thats exclusively his. Yes I like Cox (hate me now if you want) and Ruger, but other than that? I dunno.

Gideon's art pisses me off, there's hyper, then there's just fucking absurd. Even hyperphallic and whatnot still have some kind of anatomical value to it, this looks like some kind of creepy blow up doll.

i don't know if this is true or not, but i have heard that Gideon only draws the stuff he draws for the lulz/his amusement or something like that.

>>63

That image looks really tame on the hyper for Gideon.

It's amazing for someone who was born with a cock doesn't know how to draw one. Also judging on the size he draw those cocks, Gideon must have a really tiny one.

Though Gideon's art on CS never really bothered me, it just felt so out of place. CS's "gimmick" (for want of a better term) always seemed to me to be "cuteness", with the standard being Miu's works. Sure, the styles of most of the other CS regulars don't achieve his level of outright adorableness, but for the most part they're all in the same ballpark. ...And then there was Gideon. I remember the first time I saw a CS update that included a piece by him, I thought the wrong file had been uploaded by mistake. I just could never picture much overlap between people who liked the "normal" CS style and Gideon fans, so I think the new site will be good for him in attracting fans of that kind of work.

(Incidentally, Blotch's style seems equally out of place on CS to me.)

>>77
Though assuming an overly prominent trait on someone's avatar to represent the opposite of reality is usually a safe bet, it doesn't hold up so well when the trait is fetish-related (notice that Gideon draws equally exaggerated females). Sexuality is just too complex an issue to be able to make a connection like that reliably.

:O OMG!!!!! I hope from the bottom of my heart that gideon's new site goes well, and also i hope that there will be a section for his site in dammit.

>>64
And good riddance. I agree with >>78 on how outright jarring it was to have his work with the other Clubstripes regulars. With him gone, I foresee the update quality going up.

>>80
I sincerely hope the opposite of this. Then again, at least it'll all be confined to one thread and I can minimize it or something.

>>81

Don't count on him being gone from CS, he said on FA he'll still be doing things for CS. Not as much as his new site, but he won't be gone from CS.

The thing that annoys me with Gideon is a lot of his non-hyper-to-musclebabe pictures who don't look like they should have it at ALL are utterly ruined by it.
Cox would be a damn fine femboi to me if he didn't always look like he could pincushion my car with that cindercock in his pants. For godssakes at least do SOME pics of SOME of these characters in non-hyper mode.
Its a little like being the bestest hentai artist ever who draws only very obscure characters, and every. single. picture. being foot fetish related, just to ruin it for the fans who are searching for this work but only pulling up kiddie scribble on oekakis. There's fetish, and then there's retardedly-unenjoyable-niche-fetish. You CAN appeal to your base without making everyone else barf or WTF at your anatomy/camera angles.
Some of them, like that gigantic panther chick, are obviously created for 'hyper' so I'm not TOO bothered by them, I just skip them over, but I mean when every SINGLE picture is like this, then its just getting stupid. At least inflationists tend to have characters in 'normal' before inflating, but hyper is TURNED ON ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Here's a good example, back in my fledgling days I used to find Big horse pretty fappable, and not due to the inflation angle.

>>84
I think Cox is supposed to be that weird oxymoron of a girlyboi with obscene levels of junk. But yeah gideon tends to leave the hyper switch on a lot, albeit I'm not bothered by it as much as you are, but there are some pics where some of his characters are a bit more normal, like that one cox laying on his belly and I think there was a time or two he was soft for a pic, its not often, but I think they are there if you look.

>>84

>>There's fetish, and then there's retardedly-unenjoyable-niche-fetish

To be fair, alot of people consider furry to be just that.

I, personally, don't like Gideon. I think he's a fairly good artist based on what i've seen, but images like the one at the top of this thread just kind of kill it for me. Anyways, i actually fully support him getting his own site, than I wont see stuff like this in the CS threads as much. Also, if he gets some deal going with Sage and Sechs,and gets his own thread, than i can just minimize it and move on.

>>87

>To be fair, alot of people consider furry to be just that.

Sure, but lots of people who aren't furry fetishists enjoy furry fiction. There aren't any 'hyper' Disney classics.

>>88

I don't really know if we should classify Disney classics to be 'furry fiction'.

>>28
>>29
Name of it? Also, the ClubStripes version is really nicely colored over the original page I saw.

>>89

>I don't really know if we should classify Disney classics to be 'furry fiction'.

Why not? Many of them are stories about anthro animals, sometimes without humans in the setting.

>>91

You know, it's REALLY not hard to find out that sort of information if you just take five minutes to look for it instead of being a lazy ass. I mean, I told you the original was on Miles-DF's FA, so it shouldn't have been that hard to figure out what the name of the comic is.

Here, I'll give you another hint: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/503243/

If you still can't figure it out, don't say I didn't do anything to help you.

>>96
Except none of them were made with the intent of catering to furies.

>>98

Exactly, because furry is palatable to a broad audience, rather than being a "retardedly-unenjoyable-niche-fetish".

>>96

>>Why not? Many of them are stories about anthro animals, sometimes without humans in the setting.

True, but you'd never hear anyone in Disney use the term 'furry' to describe there work. I think 'cartoon animal' or 'funny animal' would be more fitting.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunnyAnimal

>>98
By that logic, the original Star Trek series isn't really Star Trek because it wasn't made with the intent of catering to Trekkies ('cause they didn't exist yet).

>>100
The difference being what, exactly? Hell, the page you linked to gives "furry" as an alternate term for "funny animal".

>>105

>>The difference being what, exactly?

I think it's more of a PR thing, What with furry usualy having a bad place in the media. Plus it's kind of stupid to advertise a Disney film as a 'furry' film.

>>Hell, the page you linked to gives "furry" as an alternate term for "funny animal".

Damn, you're right. I guess that's what i get for skimming through the first couple paragraphs of the page, as opposed to actually reading it. My bad.

Anyway, we're now kind of off topic from the purpose of this thread. If we want to to continue this discussion we should start a new thread for discussing exactly 'furry' is, or something like that.

Back on topic, I still think Gideon sucks.

CS could benefit for more varied work with fetishes, not just being the artist Gideon who does it, but it seems untapped into. Though I am an unusual in the group since I tend to like Gideon's work, it at least has interest where as Meesh's stuff is generally SO vanilla. But both could advance if they took something from each other..Meesh adding more emotions,fetishes,colors,body types ect to this stuff and Gideon toning some of his work down.. such as a lithe girl would be nice for a change.

Other then that, I don't think I have any other complaints..

ok since Gideon is still part of CS I believe that here is where I should post this: There has to be a GC thread. I know that many people complain about his art. It's true that it is not the usual furry art, but still he IS a great artist and i know that there are as many people that complain about his art as the ones that like it.
To put it simple, if you don't like his art, well...DON'T enter the thread. Just like that, because i have seen people entering a thread just to complain about it and believe me it is sad.

>>125

>>To put it simple, if you don't like his art, well...DON'T enter the thread. Just like that, because i have seen people entering a thread just to complain about it and believe me it is sad.

Saying that people shouldn't do something doesn't mean that people won't do it.

>>There has to be a GC thread.

Why is it so imperative that there be a GC thread. I'm not trying to be mean, or anything, but to hear you say it, it sounds like a matter of life or death.

>>154 I know that people that don't like Gideon's art will enter the thread (for what reasons it eludes me) but still it is a mater of self-control. As for the "there has to be a GC thread", I didn't meant for it to sound so imperative, I'm just a fan that sadly can't get a subscription to the GC site (personal reasons I will not tell) . The only thing I want if for there to be a thread to see his incredible art; It's NOT a matter of life or death (at least for me, don't know you guys.)

first image leaked from his site. XD

Something seems to be missing..

>>167

Not hyper enough.

Why would anyone pay for furry porn? None of the paysites ever have any good art anyway. All the best stuff is free or can be found for free...

>>180
Cause you know, it takes some effort to draw these pics and the ones who pay like supporting the artist so they can do this as a reasonable part of their lives?
I mean, free stuff is good, but you have to remember artists take time out of their lives to make art, time that could be used towards other things. Some people like paying to make it feel to the artist that their time was well spent.

>>180
Asking why would anyone pay for furry porn is one of those rhetorical questions where the answer is varied because anyone who would answer it likely has their own reasons for it.

A lot of people like supporting their favorite artists. Generally speaking a lot of artists can only do art as a side hobby and have to maintain a normal job to sustain themselves. More money to the artist for doing art...generally means more art.

That said, when most furry artists start making furry art their job to rely on...they tend to produce more content. A good amount of that "free art" they are seeing was oftentimes paid for by another person as a commission. Yeah, to the passerby its another pic for the pile, but to the artist that may have been $40 to their "feed me" account.

Some people like the artist and giving the artist a bit of cash is their way of saying "great jorb pornstar runner" and helping them out. In other cases, a paysite has a somewhat reliability to it that there is going to be content coming at a steady amount and some people like that realiability.

And some people just like to because they want to and because they can. If someone wants to pay 3.99 per minute to listen to some gasping female on a phoneline, someone wanting to pay for some jpgs of furries going at it isn't the most outrageous thing to ever hit the concepts.

Yeah. Just about every picture can be found on the internet if someone wants to look so no one ever really has to pay for furry porn. But some people want to. And that's their call so props to them. Had I the income to spend, I'd probably have rolled all over ClubStripes.

>>180

In laymans terms? Becuase sometimes artists have to eat. Also, pretty much everything >>182 said.

>>183

>>A lot of people like supporting their favorite artists. Generally speaking a lot of artists can only do art as a side hobby and have to maintain a normal job to sustain themselves. More money to the artist for doing art...generally means more art.

Huh, I never thought about it like that

The eyes in hair thing is still stupid on so many levels.

>>97
Thanks, I'll go looking for it then. I didn't realize it was an old, long-going storyline.
http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Love_Can_Be_Different

>>191

its the anime style where eyes show the majority of emotions, and are intended to be shown as much of the time as possible

>>3752

>its the anime style where eyes show the majority of emotions, and are intended to be shown as much of the time as possible

Which is a form of artistic laziness. The rest of the body is pretty damn expressive if you know how to use it.

Fucking tubecocks.

There was this one comic that was ruined by the sudden "cameo" appearance of some popular char that I don't know, which switched suddenly between fighting, awful porn scenes, and wtf plot. Any idea what that was?

>>3769

Bad Company is most likely a troll comic. That or Gunmouth popped a screw loose from his head that day.

Also I AM ADVOCATE VISOR HAIR, BLASPHEMERS

This is not a Clubstripes Bitching Page. This is a Gideon Bitching page.
God dammit guys, you really annoy me, let's keep bitching about GIDEON and his TOOBCAWKS and get EVERY SINGLE CLUBSTRIPES THREAD DELETED and NO REQUESTS.
Seriously guys.

>>4685

Why so selective?

>>4685

Meesh comic prediction: "I'm gay too!" then buttsex.


The buttsex may or may not happen in the library.

>>4920
I'm predicting more of a "Dude, what's that like?" and he's all "Honestly, I haven't got much experience, but..." (mini flashback like the first guy's) and the other guy goes, "Sounds awesome, let's do it"

>>4927

With a bit of "I swear I can do it! Just give me a chance!"?

>>4927

Close...

But the answer is, "You wanna fool around? I'm kinda curious.." Then suddenly "I can show you how to suck cock!"

lolwut? How do you go from being curious to professing your knowledge?

>>5764
Probably as one who has had his cock sucked many times?

>>5776

It's interesting that the cougar character automatically assumes that the gay dude WANTS to suck his dick. Because smaller, thinner people can't ever be tops durrr durrr how does I write comix

>>5794
The whole "Dur hur hur" think makes me want to disregard everything you say, but you bring up an interesting point. the cougar does assume that the shy virgin guy with no experience is automatically the bottom, but isn't that already the stereotype that a dude with no experience dealing with real life homosexuals would think?

>>5794

So wait, you're assuming a top would never suck dick? Why, because he's the "male" and would never do anything "female" like sucking dick?

Sounds to me like you're the one making idiot assumptions.

>>5776

Having it done to you is a different perspective of doing it to someone else. You only know some of the mechanics.

He also says he'll show him, not just coach him.

>>5940

He could still fancy himself an expert, even if it's not objectively true. He might also try and give it a shot if he's confident and/or bicurious enough.

>>5943

But as a competent writer, you do your best avoid such confusions. Being experimental implies a lack of knowledge that comes with the experience.

Doesn't go well with claiming a form of expertise.

>>5944

People do not always say only things which make the utmost logical sense and that stand up to intense scrutiny from without.

Thus the same is true of characters.

Don't be such a whiner.

>>5945

Be that as it may in reality, in writing it can create confusion and that's something best to avoid.

From another standpoint, it takes away from the idea of experimentation when one claims expertise or some kind.

>>5971

Or maybe the comic isn't done yet, and it'll be revealed in the story why he said that? As for your second point, he might only have partial experience. Orrr "wanna experiment" was just an excuse for some fooling around. And if that's not enough, hey, the other party's pretty much a blushing virgin. The cougar might be suggesting experimenting for the other guy's sake.

why the FUCK is there so little blueberry on the site?!?
