March 2017

I still remember the time I was interviewed for a Polish guy’s PhD thesis featuring Gay Anime Furries. Like, I’m going to be cited by a professor at the University of Warsaw and that blows my mind.  I honestly cannot wait for the full paper.

Language talk

As someone who’s learning a third language and also teaches English, I think a lot about approaches to language learning. When learning another language, I think it’s super important to set what fluency means to you. It’s a very vague term. When we think of fluency, you probably think of a native speaker. But then, that’s vague too. 

I think a sweet spot is being as fluent as an average high school student. Although, it’s possible to have meaningful conversations even before that level, like say the level of an average junior high/middle school student. 

Many European languages (including English) are rated on what’s called the CEFR scale. The CEFR scale is scored as follows:

A1-A2 (most basic/upper basic) (about N5-N4 on Japan’s JLPT scale for foreign Japanese learners)

B1-B2( Intermediate/upper intermediate) (N3-N2 on JLPT)

C1-C2 (Advanced/Advanced with academic mastery) (N1 on JLPT)

My estimates are really rough so take it with a grain of salt, but on this scale, B2 is generally the minimum needed to have a meaningful conversation with someone in your target language in my experience. I feel like B2 is about the level of someone about to graduate middle school. So when learning another language, don’t beat yourself up if you’re not as fluent as an average adult- you don’t need to be. Most native high schoolers are C1 at their own language. That said, if you really love a specific language and you want to get really good at it or you have a practical reason for doing so, then by all means, go for it!

tfw u want validation from people u look up to even tho you’re totally aware that it’s unhealthy to want that validation but because ur a human being u have frustrating irrational feelings that your brain wont let u shake

Thinking back to middle school, I can say that I don’t regret my How To Draw Manga phase at all. During this phase, me and my pals would always get How To Draw Manga books. Some of them were questionable, others were pretty cool but rarely covered ground that a regular book on drawing wouldn’t have covered. But ultimately, it got us drawing. It kept me going too. I still, in fact, have one of those books by Ryo Toudo (it’s seriously a good and accessible tutorial book for inking with traditional materials!). Also I find it interesting how those books came out at a time where the anime and manga industries were already shifting styles, so these books were teaching stuff based on late 80s and mid 90s art styles to us in the early 2000s. 

I’m not sure where I’m going with this other than I look back fondly to my artistic development which goes something like:

Triangle body/stick figures -> First copy of Shounen Jump released in the US -> Start copying that -> How To Draw Manga books were in vogue -> etc etc etc 

I still want to keep improving, of course, but once in a while looking back for a little encouragement doesn’t hurt.

Some notes about Ashe

- He has anxiety issues 

- He stims by chewing on his bone all the time

- He’s multilingual. He’s not particularly talented, he just really wanted to hone this specific skill so he spent a lot of time reading and listening to stuff in his target language. Most notably, he uses Kato Lomb’s approach, a branch of input-based language learning

I’m sorry for the ref sheet spam, I just suddenly got this wave of motivation to make them. After these I’ll keep trying to hammer out more Werewolf Hostclub concepts. I have a lot of doodles of various designs for the characters haha

ok this is going to be highly specific but

When drawing pooltoy characters, if you draw the seams with a sharp curve and with no creases, it conveys higher internal pressure. Conversely, adding more creases means the character still has more room inside. 

Anyway, that concludes Zeny’s Oddly Specific Tip That Could Only Come From Years Of Drawing And Observing Weird Furry Stuff

One of the dumb on-going jokes I have in my mind with Ashe  is that he’s often mistaken for a werewolf because of his size and general appearance, but he’s actually just a normal anthro dude. Sometimes werewolves will accidentally out themselves to him by asking “Hey what’s your human form look like?” to which he often responds “My…My what???” or “I….dunno?”

When people talk about remembering the 90s I always just assume they mean 1994-2002 because as I recall it, 1990-1993 was still shaking off the 80s and 2002 was kind of when the 2000s started to have its own personality, so to speak. At least, that’s my experience.

Do your students or other school staff members know about your furry stuff?

No. They know I draw but they just assume it’s all manga

if you keep drawing your fave character more and more off model every time you draw them, you eventually get an OC
