Some Clarity about my Art & my Phenotype. by Ryngs
First, my Art will NOT change, because I am a Unicorn and Brony!
I am still a Realist Furry Artist, Illustrator, and Portrait Painter... Period!
Its seems that with some (not all) furry artists they're the phenotype they are because that is what they like to draw... NOT ME!!! I can't stress that enough. I have heard this from other-ponies a lot recently, that sense I am a equine-ish phenotype that I will draw more equines, or that I am a Brony so I am going to do all MLP Art... Not just, “NO!” but “HELL NO!”
Yes, I may do some Pony Art here and there, some toony cutsy doodles on occasion, but what puts the food on my table and pays the light bill is my Realism. So, that is not going to change. If anything my Unicorn self has put me in touch with the “Magic” of my art. It has awakened my sense of wonder at the making of art. It has summoned that child like excitement I once had for it. It has helped me accept my destiny as an artist and truly BELIEVE in it again!
All these things had been waning in me (some more then others), and some had been out right gone. I was becoming detached from the process of making art. I had gotten to that point where it was just a “Thing” I did most days, “Meh, its what I do.” Now, that is not totally a bad thing, its a sign I am becoming more confident and practiced in my skills. These things are not where the fire of creativity lies. It lies in that wonder and excitement of the unknown, the risk, the challenge, the possibilities.
So, to all those that like my art, who want a commission from me one day, or even just want to own some art I did, you should have no fear of my change. The only change that should occur is that I will get even better in my skills as an Artist.

I am just responding to the surprising wave of messages I have received expressing either hostility, sorrow, or fear at my announcements. All of which have surprised me. Part of the problem - I am sure - is that this all started out as an April Fools Joke, but when I thought about it (really thought about it) something felt "Right".
Even tho I have been a brony for years I have not worn it on my sleeve. I never knew there was so much animosity, and even hostility toward Equines, and/or Bronies with in furry. Doubly surprising when I have Furs say all the time, "We are accepting of all into our community."

That is peculiar, isn't it. I understand most Furries not liking MLP:FiM, it's the sort of thing you like or don't. But why the animosity?
I was surprised by your April Fools, mostly I think because I didn't know you were into Ponies. You didn't seem to me like the type to be into it... but in retrospect, I don't know what a typical Bronie is like. I've always thought of you as seriously spiritual, studious and of course artistic. I could see you liking Ponies, but being an active fan... well FTM, it should be odd that you're into Furry. I guess I don't understand as much as I think.

I didn't wear the fact on my selves that I was a Brony. It was just a thing. I see no difference between Furries and Bornies. Bronies are Equine Furs (With better writers, and PR people). All the times I have been exposed to other Bronies it was at Furry Cons, and every time it was a positive experience. I didn't know there were furs or bronies who thought that the two were separate. I didn't even know there was any sort of tension... I sure do now (especially after today, but that is another post). I have gotten an earful this passed week of some truly horrible feedback.
I appreciate your description of me, it very flattering. None of that has changed. Also, I am a Fur, first and foremost. Furry for all its messed up shit has been good to me. I have been a fur all my life, and I don't see Furry or Bronies as separate no matter how some may bitch to the contrary. Like I said, all the other Bronies I hang with in person are Furs, and they go to Fur Cons.
That is why I find all the animosity truly mind boggling.

Not that I'd mind more horses, ponies, donkies or whatnot. I only know one Furry artist who draws them regularly. I admit equines are not my favourite, but they are beautiful.
