Muscle Beach (Patreon)

My fursona Night and a bunch of other guys at a nude beach filled with nothing but muscular hunks. If that isn't heaven, I don't know what is. ;P

I've been meaning to get more commission work done today, but felt myself spiraling down a hole of depression about my own pictures. It's a process I go through sometimes and it always takes me a bit to climb back out. It's usually connected to the fact that my brain just saves the memories of some of the mean shit people have said about me or my pictures and occasionally just decides to replay them over and over again. In this case it was one comment left on my work, that said:

"Everyone is the same size. Everyone has the same face. Everyone has marble abs. This artists world is a terrifying universe where every individual is a clone."

When I first read it, it really hurt me. I know it is stupid to fuss about that and the overwhelming amount of support I have been getting is definitely outweighing it, but as I mentioned, sometimes I just get reminded of these comments and I can't help but feel bad about my work.

So going through this process, I eventually decided to turn this statement around and retort: When everyone has the same muscular build, is that so bad? That was the spark of inspiration I needed, because I figured: If I am being slammed for drawing the same kind of muscular guys over and over again, then hell, I guess I should just do that!

And this is how this picture came to be. :3 Definitely something I need to draw more of, because seeing how quickly I managed to put this together - albeit it being just a black and white sketch - I started to take pride in my work again. And now I'm eager to get back to commissions! :3

Enjoy!
