Me gusta furrows, no me gusta gore...... :'( |
| AdrianBrony #265223 1 year ago |
scared, more than angry. As in, I would not want to meet this artist in an alley. |
| CranialHeartache #265227 1 year ago |
The quality is great. The content however is interesting. |
| Anonymous #265228 1 year ago |
What the fuck man. |
| bersl2 #265231 1 year ago |
In my imagination, my furry self is running in there with a baseball bat to beat the artist's character senselessly.
Still, I am impressed: I've never seen someone who appeared to specifically have an impalement fetish. |
| AdrianBrony #265235 1 year ago |
seriously though, artists can act like the most entitled little wimps at time when they post something they know is controversial, yet then go and say if you don't like it then shut up.
no, you can't have your cake and eat it too. if you make something controversial, then be prepared for controversy. Yes, this does make me mad, it makes me a lot of things, and I know I can, and will, go, but that doesn't absolve an artist from responsibility. If he's not willing to stand by his art through critique over a controversial work, then he has no business posting it. |

Poor Fluttershy. Of all ponies it had to be Fluttershy.:( |
| 409 #265266 1 year ago |
This... If this was intended to be horrifying, I wouldn't mind it. Unfortunately, I don't think that is the case... |
| 409 #265294 1 year ago |
And bersl2, this is a commission, as in, someone paid for this to be drawn. It all boils down to money, doesn't it? |
| AdrianBrony #265310 1 year ago |
okay, then if this is a commission... there's some excuse there... not MUCH excuse but hey, at very least he didn't think of this... just the person giving him money. |

@235
Some people (unfortunately not all) aren't bound by petty morality. Telling whiners to fuck off is perfectly valid when the artist himself is unoffended by the content. |
| AdrianBrony #265411 1 year ago |
#265393
no, it isn't. it shows the artist isn't willing to stand behind his art. An artist is responsible for his art, and his art has repurcussions. if he knows it will probably attract whiners, he needs to be willing to actually deal with them and show he has conviction in his own art. |
| AdrianBrony #265422 1 year ago |
plus, there's a difference between being abound by morality and accepting responsibility. Just because you can draw well doesn't entitle you to anything. not even respect. he wants to make crap like this? fine. but if he wishes to share it and attribute it to his name, then he has the obligation to stand behind his own work and deal with the backlash, and the blow to his reputation. |
| AdrianBrony #265430 1 year ago |
also, as social animals, complete anomie can be a very serious flaw. |
| Ponyholic #265447 1 year ago |
But what exactly does taking responsibility entail? |
| MetalHooves #265458 1 year ago |
Artistically speaking, all I have a problem with is Fluttershy's tail; it looks like it's going through the lizard thing.
Content wise, I'm used to this kinda crap [certified b-tard], but it's gotten to where certain things bug me. Per se, the fact that Fluttershy is crying here makes me have sad. |
| AdrianBrony #265461 1 year ago |
#265447
accepting the backlash, any negative reputation, and owning up to the fact that yoou either like said subject matter, or that you intended it to be offensive (do NOT use the latter an excuse when it's really the case of the former.) Not blocking out anything you don't want to hear as a reaction, basically. |
| Edef #265468 1 year ago |
Telling them to fuck off is dealing with them. It's the most simple and straight forward way to deal with them. |
| AdrianBrony #265482 1 year ago |
deal with the backlash as in endure it. not try to isolate himself from it. |
| Ponyholic #265514 1 year ago |
Well, in his own words "well.. i'm expecting some "how dare you D:" "this is not right" and some things of the sort.. dont dissapoint me.. ;3" it seems as though he's not really trying to hide from anything. |
| AdrianBrony #265523 1 year ago |
#265514
right, that's why I'm not complaining about sip in particular. I'm complaining more about streak's comment. sort of a landmine hotbutton with me. |
| AdrianBrony #265526 1 year ago |
if anything I kind of admire how he's willing to stand up for his work. if for no other reason... |
| AdrianBrony #265530 1 year ago |
if anything I kind of admire how he's willing to stand by his work and accept backlash like a real class act. |
| AdrianBrony #265531 1 year ago |
bah I wish I could edit or delete comments... |
| Ponyholic #265552 1 year ago |
Fair enough. I guess to me it just seems like it's easier on the viewer to avoid what they don't like. It just gets them angry, and there's not much they can do to change anything with that anger. |
| 0r0ch1 #265554 1 year ago |
wat |
| Edef #265555 1 year ago |
What he's doing here is trolling.
>dont dissapoint me.. ;3 He wants people to bitch. |
| Ponyholic #265559 1 year ago |
@Edef
I don't think so, I'd say it's more having a sense of humour about it. If he wanted to draw people in to start something, I doubt he'd have done things like crop the thumbnail. And I don't know if it's worth noting or not, but it also appears to be a commission. |
| AdrianBrony #265582 1 year ago |
well, to some extent the viewer can't know what something is until he sees it. |
| RealityCheck #265595 1 year ago |
A-freaking-men, Adrian. The pussies who say they want to be brave and bold and "controversial" always seem to be "controversial" in the safest way they possibly can. |
| Ponyholic #265611 1 year ago |
This is true I suppose, there is no way to block out everything one doesn't want to see. Tags and content filtering are available to limit exposure, but it seems like a lot of people don't use them and decide to start stuff. |
| Anonymous #265802 1 year ago |
I'm not exactly outraged by this, because people can draw whatever they want. But I do find myself wondering about the mental state of those who take pleasure from inflicting pointless unhappiness on others, whether it's by torturing fictional characters or by trying to provoke strangers on the internet. What's the point? |
| bersl2 #265851 1 year ago |
I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I only look at train wrecks like this because of the conflict it causes inside of me.
I know, rationally, that it's just a bunch of freaking pixels; that no creature was harmed in the making of this image; that everyone, both artist and commissioner, must have the right to express such things as this; that in some form or another, something like this will always exist, whether in imagination or in reality, no matter what I or anyone else would do. But emotionally, it hurts. I the rational being don't have a problem with this; I the emotional being do. So I let that part of me vent a little bit. But just a little. And the constraints go back on right after that. It's just as appropriate for art like this as it is for people: odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris? nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. —Catullus, #85 |

I hate and I love. How can I explain this apparent contradiction?
I cannot, I can only feel it, and I am in agony. |
| WhiteSocks #265945 1 year ago |
I'd rather see SiP draw happier fare, as his art quality is superb. Despite this making me sad (poor impaled ponies, and insult to injury on FS in particular), I shall move on. |

This thread needs more flaming and rage, not people being intelligent with their opinions. That's not what the Internet is for D: |

Holy shit this is hot. |
| Anonymous #314221 1 year ago |
The artwork is really great and very detailed. A well done and well thought through piece of art that took a lot of skill to make.
However, I do agree with the one who said the tail looks like it's going through the dragon but assumes its wrapping around. As for other comments, The art was meant to bring emotion. like a good book, the art must make you feel what's happing inside the art. And honestly, I for one would rather look at a piece of art that even though it depicts violence with good art then to see basic content with horrible art. |

so much rage! not only is she getting raped by a dragon her greatest fear but shes been killed by it! i dont give a fuck about porn but i wanna cupcake that dragon |

I don't know why.
But this image don't anger me or make me sad. |
