I was going through some old art of mine, and then I stumbled upon old gift art of Dejection. There were a lot of beautiful pieces in there from a lot of people I miss. It made me real nostalgic, I miss a lot of those people. And yes, I'll admit it. I miss drawing Dejection sometimes. I have a hard time reconciling my love for Dejection and my dislike for the furry subculture as a whole. There, done. What do you think of Dejection with purple wings? Should I keep them or stay grey?

Oh Hobart? He's still at Immorakaki. But I refuse to go there after a wave of Patriots bashing. This is nice though. And whats wrong with furries?

What, you want a list?

Nah, I was just missing the old days of Oekaki. This board has been rather dead as of late. And what isn't wrong with furries, Sean? I totally forgot about Immorakaki, though. I'll go register.

@Al: Says the guy who has drawn furries in his comic for something like 8 years. @Dejection: This board had good old days? Since when? And come now. Werenot that incredibly freaky in person.

We're a migratory people, Sean. Like gypsies, our history isn't tied to where we're at now, or even where we've been. Also like gypsies, we'll steal your children in the dead of night.

Almost ten years, and when I started, one of my biggest infulances was Space Moose, and and my humans looked like retarded Bart Simpsons at the time. I would have canned SSDD long ago in favor of a strip starring forgotten gods, but I want to finish the damn story.

I accidentally deleted my comment, but the gist of what it said was This was before your time, Sean. A good 5-6 years ago, we were all posting on a board hosted by Dave Kelly. Due to some drama (Dave is kind of nuts), I think mostly caused by Hobart Starr drawing porn of Dave's Purple Pussy characters, he shut the board down. He opened another, which didn't last too long. After that shut down, Waccoon opened DTP for us vagrants without a home. Most of the people who drew on the original board are gone now, except Wac, Nanimoose, Surey Neko, Al, me, Tha Pig, NOIP, and a few others. I think Alanna, Fig, and Sam appeared around the second of Dave's boards. I still have all the shit I drew 6 years ago too, just to look at and laugh, and also to see how much I've improved.

Really? What gods, Al? Historical ones, or original forgotten ones?

A mix of both. It'll proably be called "The God List," based on a anchant Babylonian text listing all the known gods, seeing which ones are similar and classing them as the same entity. I've yet to flesh things out, but mostly forgottn enitiys are awesome characters to play with. I mean take Hexor, demon of self-hatred. Or Eostr, look the poor girl up to see what happened to her. Edit: The original one will be some poor mortal git that some homeless crazy thinks is a god (Steve, the God of pizza)

You read American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Al?

Ha! Nice. I look forward to when you eventually get a chance to do it.

Dave Kelly huh? I dont know much on DTP history, but didnt he become a nutjob babyfur that ran off to join SomethingAwful? Your histories confuse me. I mean I was here the few months before Xod dissappeared. That was four years ago. So by your math I hopped on to DTP shortly after Dave Kelly lost it? Wait..Havent I heard you guys talk about a board called Cave Deli? Dave Kelly/Cave Deli. GASP, THATS IT.

Yeah, Dave Kelly went by Cave Deli. Xod didn't disappear 4 years ago. It was 3, if you search the board he posted something in February 05. I'm not 100% on the math, but looking at my drawings I can see when they were edited last and know that I started about 6 years ago. I think you joined DTP shortly after it opened, yes...The Dave Kelly boards went down probably 4 years ago. Dave is a babyfur that ran to join SA, but they don't know about it there. Every time I see him post I want to call him out on it, because he was REALLY WEIRD and used to try to cyber me when I was 16 or so and he was in his 30's. I just don't like the guy. Waccoon's board has a lot less crazy and drama, I like it better even though some of the cool people are gone.

Someone with that level of creepiness NEEDS to be called out. You people are all the proof they would need to tear him down. And the fact that he hid it for four years would fuel the flames like a New England mill. (Bad analogy?)

Well, I don't have any proof anymore since I'm pretty sure his babyfur oekaki board was taken down (you needed to be invited to it for draw or view access, somehow I was) and I never saved any of the pictures or chatlogs. Why would I? I'm not really going to call him out, I have no real reason to other than my own personal dislike of him, and that would be pretty petty. I don't really feel like getting banned for making a bunch of accusations I can't back up, even if they are true. I do have a picture he drew of Dejection though, I'm sure I could scare him with it. But really, what's the point? I think the picture of him in a diaper is still circulating the internet somewhere. He has done more damage to himself than I ever could. =O The internet just disgusts me sometimes, and how people embrace obvious potential criminal behavior just because someone is a good artist or does some popular webcomics. No matter what you are into, and how disturbing or disgusting it is, you can find other people who like it on the internet. Then the crazy people feel normal, even though they aren't, and stop hiding their terrible addictions and perversions. That isn't to say the humorous porn on DTP isn't fun. I don't think anyone here is actually a pedophile/wants to get raped by tenticles/have sex with animals. There is a fine line between good fun and OH FUCK CALL THE COPS though

Trust me, I'm not the "fuck animals, wear fuzzy suits, and jerk off at the zoo" type. I occasionally comes to terms with the fact that the fandom is incredibly retarded, but realize the people here are generally good hearted people you can have intelligent conversations with, and get over myself. Will I ever go to a con? Maybe. Like once, just for the hell of it. But thats it. Thats as far as my furriness goes.

I'm one of the oldest here! I remember some of the drama back then. I still love this board and the artists that remain. And I miss the ones that are gone.

A toast! To those that have come the distance, and to those who have gone their own way! A toast! A toast! *chugs*

I was on Dave's original board when AkiraRat was still hosting it. And I think Fig and Alanna have been around at least that long, too.

Did Alanna go by Nibiki back then? I know she used a different name but I couldn't remember which. I've got a bunch of pretty pictures from her, too, then! / (Edited on March 16, 2008, 6:34 pm)

Yeah, that was her.

HAHAHA.
Let us not speak of that.
ever. again.

I miss Dejection. I hate to see someone retire a character. On furries, I think the problem is that there's no formal definition of the term. I have always associated the word "furry" with characters on paper. Calling people furries is a bit creepy. I call myself "furry" occasionally so people know what I draw, but outside the fandom I just call myself a cartoonist. Hey, is a gargoyle even a furry? Let's just roll our eyes and forget about it, mm-kay? On Dave, well, he was OK to deal with way back when, but then he really turned into an asshole when he started his hypocritical stage. When he decided to shut down the board, he wanted me to post a really nasty goodbye message for him, because he didn't want to do it himself. We argued about that. I felt bad for having "hijacked" the board, but I didn't think it was fair to just shut everything down when there were so many people still enjoying the place. I blame FurAffinity for the lack of activity on DTP, as well as the lack of a good commenting system. I haven't drawn a serious oekaki here in a long time, thanks to the community structure of FA. I should take that into consideration if I decide to make Wacintaki 2.0.

I can't believe you remember that Dejection is a gargoyle and not just a catgirl, Wac D'aaaw

Oh I did. I rather liked the non-cat girl version you did. Also I prefure the versions with the full set of hooked wings (I'm a fan of details). You might remember that was the version I animated a while back. Damn, I really must get animating again. Some of you already know why I have been unmotivated of late.

I remember when Aki hosted us (2002?), but I probably didn't draw anything memorable then LOL. Very pretty drawing, Dej. I do like your Dejection character. She's not a run-of-the-mill furry either (normal face and legs, right?). Pretty dress! I don't know about the wing shade, but it definitely suits them to be a little darker than the skin.

I remember, Al. That was a REALLY long time ago, though. I haven't drawn Dejection like that in awhile. I almost drew those wings in this drawing, actually, but they didn't really suit this outfit. And yeah, her legs are normal, but I dunno about her face so much. Her nose was supposed to at least look a little catlike in this drawing.

I have a few pictures saved from Dave's board circa 2001, including a few I did that where just awful. I still lurk way too much though.

I've been around since the Dave Kelly board, too. But I probably went by one of my many retarded usernames. Probably Taro/Taro-kun. Was FLCL out then? Fuck, I don't remember. Oh well, it's probably better to just forget. I did mostly embarrassing poorly drawn naked anime chicks in the same pose over and over. Ugh. I still have some saved for laughs.

Woah, I feel like I've stumbled upon the ancient scrolls of DTP. So much history!

Oh, and I think gray wings would be better. I haven't seen her with gray ones, but the purple ones look like they are part of the dress. She's a lovely character though! Diggin' the rose.

I was around for the end of Cave Deli's Board. My name was Tekno. Lurked a lot more than drew anything.

I was one of the kids that was around when it was actually dave's board. I miss those days kinda because I felt a lot freer to draw whatever because it all sucked anyways. Now I just lurk and post things randomly... For me, this board feels very clicky. I like looking at people's art but it's hard for me to draw somewhere where I don't feel welcome.

I remember Dave Kelly being one of the first posters on Akirarat's oekaki board when it opened sometime around 2001. He had some sort of fetish about homosexual pedophilia and human wastes or something and he often asked people to draw these things for him as 'fanart'.

It was somehow strange that he once decided to become a rather important member of a website that makes fun of people with fetishes much less perverted than his! He actually asked his online acquaintances to forget all about his perversions and not mention anything, anywhere. Like he could actually hide from the internet. encyclopediadramatica.com/Dave_Kelly

Dave Kelly is a pervert. Certainly not such a big one like me, for example, but he acted a bit hypocritical about that matter.

Ahhh I can't believe someone kept and catalogued all that shit, at least I know I'm not crazy now The best part was going to one of the sites and seeing Surey Neko posting, teehee. And a bunch of other names I recognized. Man, Hentai Hec...oldschool

@Surey: I feel the same way about the board =/ That's why I lurk and don't post.

POST! We love you, and DTP has been pretty slow these days.

I can see why you guys think its somewhat unwelcoming. There's a few groups of people here that are all real close with eachother, but who cares? I like to draw. I've been doing it here and with these people for years, I ain't going anywhere else. You should all draw something toooo. If there were more people outside the cliques drawing, it wouldn't be as bad, dontcha think Edit: Oh man I just noticed this week's suggestion, I was going to suggest that topic for awhile now. I'm all over it. So many to choose from! (Edited on March 18, 2008, 5:04 pm)

@ Wicabeth - OMG WICABETH I was JUST thinking about you and your avatar and how much I missed you oh my jeezy creezy goodness!!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels the clickyness though... @ Dejection - Yeah I am going to try my best to start drawing more, not just because I want to be more active here, but also b/c it's a good release to get whatever's in my brain out... All the lurkers should try harder to draw more!!

Well, I don't really have an excuse for not drawing these past few months, but I'll have an excellent excuse next month! Italy, here I come!

Hey what part, Noip? I leave for Italy a week from Thursday. It'll be my second time there. =O I love it over there. Then when I get back, 5 weeks later I head for Greece. Which is why I'm super bummed XOD has vanished, I would love to see him while I'm over there.

Furries ish teh serioush buiznezz

Venice-ish. A suburb of it, I think. I'll be working in a dockyard there, helping with a cruise liner that's in drydock. How much time I have free kind of depends on how often the Italian workers strike. :p

wow, that was a trip down memory lane. also: its great to see Dejection again.

Wow, you guys forget so fast. Iwas on dave's board ALOT & bothered Xod a ton too. I miss Flarn, Xod and VJ but meh, thats me. I know i don't draw as much as I used to but some how I always get over looked. Don't you like me?

I mentioned you in my first comment, SWI, but then I edited it and deleted all the names because it was too long But then this ended up being an EPIC THREAD anyway

ya need to shade her tail.

I hope I haven't chased anyone off. Most of you know I like rats. And I also like gender-bending. I just... really don't like kiddie looking stuff. Sorry. (Uploaded by Seraph)

I was wondering why that picture was taken down. Did you say something mean, Seraph? Or did someone think it was child porn and take it down? I seem to remember a certain Dave Kelly/Davebunny posting lots of drawings of his babyfur pissing himself, man those were gross I think I am off track, I missed your rat boy, he is always so mysterious

I <3 your style of art ^~.~^

I deleted it, because they WERE young, and that offended people, and the last thing I want to do is offend someone.

That's weird, considering some of the other stuff on this board, that people would be offended by your picture over, say, the Luigi and Wario picture. I thought it was cute. I hope this doesn't keep you from drawing at the board, I like your stuff

I'll take Rat Boys over Doug Porn anyday.

I didn't say anything particularly mean, or not intended to be mean. But I did say that the kiddie-looking characters disturbed me, because they do, and because I don't feel they're appropriate for this site. I hope Rapps continues to draw here, because your other art has been very nice. As for the other weird art - there's other stuff I don't care for, but as long as it's among consenting adult people (human or anthro or whatever), it doesn't bother me. The Doug porn bothered me too, but it was less 'creepy kiddie porn' and more 'lulz rule 34'

There is always secretmoon anyway...

I thought it was a cute drawing. I consider stuff like this very distrubing. Bizarre rat-creatures looking like they could kill me and shadowy forms that look like crap I had to deal with in my nightmares as a child.

This pic disturbs me, as does a lot of your work, Seraph. I just never commented because, you know, I figured if you don't like something you can just not look at it... But since true feelings are coming out I thought I should say my piece as well.

...And anonymously, at that. Very brave. I find the young stuff disturbing as well; Maybe because I have kids. Best not to get into that kind of discussion. Thankyou Rapps for being understanding and taking it down. I'm sure whoever it was intended for will enjoy it.

I think Seraph's pictures are meant to be creepy MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Um, wow. I deleted the pic to END the drama, I didn't WANT to start a huge debate. I'll continue to draw here, and I won't post anything too weird, because frankly drama and debates should be saved for livejournal, not oekaki. Anon, thanks for the compliment, but there's no need to pick on Seraph. I adore horror art, just because she didn't like the subject matter of ONE pic I drew is no reason to bash her. In short, forget about it, no big deal.

Don't let this get to you, Rapps, I still like your other art, and this anon is just a troll trying to stir up trouble. It breaks down to a matter of better judgement. (Which probably belongs to the person who realizes that 'kiddie porn' bothers a lot more people for a much more obvious reason than 'creepy monsters' do.) (Edited on March 16, 2008, 11:29 am)

No, actually I'm making the point that once you start saying some pic is creepy for one reason or another, you open up the doors to the same commetns on your own pictures.

And I don't know what you mean about "judgment" but I think cute anthropomorphic rodents playing nekkid is a lot easier on the mind than scary anthropomorphic rodents with evil in their eyes holding weapons against unidentified nighmarish creatures.

Who has the better judgment?

facking hell. Seraph, as awesome as this is, you're probably best deleting it because some people can't play nice. The pic offended, I deleted it, I am not butthurt, end of story. This is the EXACT situation I wanted to avoid. Arguing on my behalf just makes me look worse, this is not what I want, I want this situation over with, and the world to move on, because it's just a fucking picture, I realize some people don't have the same interests as me, and I don't care, it's no need for a bloody arguement.

I'm not "defending" you. You chose to delete your own picture. It always annoys me when artists/authors do that. It's a bit like walking up to someone with a dollar bill in your hand and saying, "Here, have a dollar.... nope, just kidding!" and snatching it away at the last moment. Sure, you can do it, it's just very poor form.

And are you saying I'm not playing nice? I'm being very civil here. I'm just talking about things I like and dislike. I haven't insulted anybody and I haven't demanded anything. I haven't even said that Seraph's pic is objectively creepy, I just said it's creepy *to me*.

You always have the choice of ignoring me. But fine, since I seem to be upsetting some people, I won't post anymore after this.

My one point is that criticizing someone makes you fair game for criticism yourself.

Anon, get the fuck off this board. Rapps and Seraph were just fine until you started this shitstorm. Now you've let the drama llama loose and hes eating my shrubs. Rapps, your rat boys were immensely cute and well drawn, and I saw nothing wrong personally. Its a shame you deleted it. Perhaps you could repost it once the idiocy calms down. Seraph, dont listen to this nameless turd. This picture is bomb and reminds me of Dead Rising. Raz is fucking awesome and needs to be drawn nekkid sometime. MOVE ALONG FOLKS, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

It figures that DTP has been slow for weeks, and all the intrigue occurs when I'm gone for the weekend. I'd like everyone to feel welcome here, and since I missed it all, I won't throw in an empty 2 cents. I would remind people, though, that this is an adult-rated board, so I'll expect people to be patient, and I'll deal with things as they happen. We get very few problems around here with that policy, so I'd rather keep doing that rather than try to make a large crop of monolithic rules. As for child-like erotic art, I'm not a fan of it and I don't think it really fits with the content guidelines, so unless you intend to do something elaborate (and are willing to take some flak) it'd probably be best to avoid posting that kind of subject matter. If you're going to draw unpopular or controversial topics, at least have the balls to deal with the backlash.

@Sean: Yeah, that's really going to work. Please don't try to do my job, here. @Anon: I do think you're being more civil than people give you credit, but please register if you want to give serious feedback. Too many comments, and I'll become a bit twitchy with the "delete" button.

I've never really cared about various odd or gross porn/art, or anything that has content that isn't my thing because I just consider it a drawing, which it is, and I can just choose not to look, but that's just me. Just look at Xod's old art, I love the guy but half his stuff creeps the hell out of me so I don't look at that, but his other art is really hot and I very much do look at it

Omg, this is so spooky and awesome! I love how clear the rat guy is although he's in the background.
Awesome, awesome.

One of my favorite characters from Courage the Cowardly Dog. I heart that show so much <3

I don't really like the balance on this picture, but I'm too lazy to mess with it <:/ SORRY GUYS.

Ive seen that show a few times and it's REALLY BIZARRE. It didn't seem like a kids show at all. I really liked it, but always forget to check out more of it. Ive never seen this character, but he looks sexy. Sinister. I am glad you decided to join our little board

You've posted two pictures here so far and both have been delightfully unwholesome. It's pretty great. Keep drawing.

Man, I wish I could find his theme music. Sa awesome.

Aww yeeuh diessmajam

@Dejection: Yeah, the show is like...possibly the weirdest cartoon that I have ever seen. But it's SO AWESOME. And yeah, this guy, Katz, he's pretty psychotic. In one episode, he like, owns this hotel and eventually tries to feed Courage to these freaky ass spiders, but wants to play a game with Courage before he dies. Which is what the quote comes from. I'm pretty sure this is the episode if you want to watch -->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNF2QSozvSQ

Oh, and thanks baby I'm glad I joined too. You peeps is awesome.

@seris: Hahaha, thank you very much! I plan too C:

@NOIP and Pox: Yeah man, I think that it's official that he has the best theme music.

Just an experiment in figure and weightlessness. Yes it's not colored and it's not perfect..but I hope you guys can find something good in it. If not, oh well. (Uploaded by Surey neko)

I like it. It looks pretty free-form, and the chick looks like she's happy. I would suggest maybe turning the backside a bit to where you can see the other butt cheek, and putting some skin folds on the back to give it depth.

It's a good picture though, and your anatomy is not bad. I like the way the back of her chest looks.

(looks up) Come to BassMan!

Thank you Alodie for the critique. I will try and keep that in mind if I attempt this pose again. Oh bassman... silly silly silly..

Grape flavored jelly. I suck at perspective.

Lies, that's awesome perspective. Yay! Gooey girls :'D

D'aww, your girls always look so cute and happy to be there X3

This is a really interesting idea. I like how you can see both of their bodies.

tentacles. Pretty crappy background, but I honestly didnt really know what to do with it. Made it public in case anyone wants to play with my lines/colour/background, whatever.

oooh...blue rings..shes a dangerous lil thing...

Octopusmaids rock ^~.~^

I like your mermaid ladies You are to mermaids what Amy Brown is to fairies (does that make sense? I'm high!)

Those suction cups are about 6 different kinds of awesome.

OOH! She is so cool looking!
Is she a blue ringed octopus? That coloring is
Diggin' the make-up.

After being captured and imprisoned by the Vega Providence Kill Committee, B.Ultra&Basic are released to the streets, violent and indiscriminate weapons, perhaps controlled by an invisible force, perhaps controlled by instinct.

(Edited on March 9, 2008, 12:11 pm)

I'd like to think that they're controlled... by AWESOME. That's just me, though.

lol Providence

Oh, this is super cool! The muted colors are awesome, and so is that intense expresion. INTENSE.

You got a robot coming out of your head, man.

will<3<3

Chicken,banana,power pear balls
luigi/wario

LOL WUT

lawl, I wonder how you make it up

This is the best thing to ever be on DTP.

Shock and awe.

"...Well noaw ah've seen everaything." *shoots self in head*

This is so Epic. I love the pear balls.

Oh my god Alodie I was going to make that exact same comment. DOUBLE SUICIDE BROTHERRRRR Seriously though this drawing is just... and I mean that in the best way possible.

"Wah, nobody loves Waluigi~"

I tried to comment on this before but I was too high and fucked it up. What I MEANT to say was Now to find a tattoo artist who will take the job!

This is a feature at Rule 34 now

A wise man once said "Experience is a fantastic tutor." With this in mind, Sean visited Syrynx for a few pointers when drawing tentacles. Quite a few pointers.

It's not polite to point!

XD Sean I love you.

Oh No! You got it in the eye!
Double penitration is love.

Showed my other bit of tentacle smut around to some friends and got the request to draw more tentacles. So i did.

A series of postcards, perhaps?

More T.W. goodness!!!! I love the voluptuous female bodies you draw. Very curveliceous!

I love the anal beads X3

Those tentacle monsters are versatile beasts! They can learn any number of tricks!

DO WANT!

This look like a wall hanging. Like, I can see the old black guy from The Shining Having this over his bed with the naked afro chicks.

I find it funny that the majority of tentacle smut out there the girl being molested is crying, upset or otherwise, when clearly there are girls out there who have said perverted fetishes anyways. So why are there no /Happy/ tentacoowape pictures? So I'm drawing some. Edit: I feel like it needs about ten more gallons of semen and then I'll be satisfied, but I swear I can't draw it and have it look nice. *sigh*

Its about time someone addressed the issue. Good job ^~.~^

ahahah YAY!

The bar has been raised again!!!!

I'd totally have a tentcle monster for a pet if they were real

This picture is so sweet and calm... I can hardly tell it is sex! Save for the spooge and the one in her crotch, To me it looks like cuddling and hair braiding!

I did mean to do this but my schedule blows noawdays. Sowwy Syrynx.

Meh, no worries Sean, I know how it goes.

I approve this tentacle pet. I also like how you extended the picture outside the oval and your cum signature.

Sorry to be a bother, but it has been done before ;D Lovely purples.

Oh lawdy!

D'aww, she is so cute! I love the chubby body <:3
