Description
I’m sorry for all the grammar mistakes (though the netspeak was intentional) in this. Just pretend it was a teenage girl on crack who wrote it. I just hope I got my point acrossOh, and I don’t really care if you’re offended. The “ur just jelez” card won’t work; ‘cause I certainly ain’t! And if you’re asking if I’m talking about you I’ll simply ignore you.
Time: I’m ashamed to tell you how long I spent on this
Medium: Photoshop 7.0
Soundtrack: Badly Drawn Boy
Art etc. (c) me
EDIT: Besides the "Husky" the full text was cut off by Photoshop. It should read "But then I changed my mind! I didn’t want to draw a kawaii neko after all. Whit chibi-style the solution is easy, simply change the markings, and in some cases, accessories to get the animal you want! Suddenly the kitten is a Husky!"
I'll fix that later or something *sigh*
EDIT II: Fix'd

You really were yanking my chain for a bit there ;D
I do agree with your sarcasm towards gay being 'unique and cool'. It really urks me how people are useing homosexuality like it's a tool to become trendy. It really grinds my gears u_u

Especially the interchangeable kawaii chibis. And topped off with the big FAT copyright mark.

So the first part had me convinced that this was a real tutorial... but then I saw the kawaii neko/sparkledog-type-things and let out a good belly laugh.
Awesome.

Thank you for this extremely useful and insightful tutorial. I will go off now and perfect all of my characters!

Very true. What people don't realize is that it's the simplicity of an iconic character that makes others remember it--not the uber rainbows and crap, though that can be cool if used sparingly and done right.

Thank you for this wonderful dose of sarcasm! I am constantly being bombarded with images of overly-intricate anthros and their various incarnations, and this sums it all up for me.

This is hysterical.
I, for one, appreciate the time you spent making this, because I'm confident that I spent double that time laughing about it.

Interesting. *tents fingers*
This is more or less summing up what I think of the sparkledog fandom.

This is excellent. I especially like the section on animals and chibis and all that— I hate struggling with anatomy only to open my computer and find people who simply bypassed learning it. Also, love the radioactive eye-burning colors!

My brain can't cope with so many colours! D:
But I LOVE your pants that go over you feet xDDD

OH SCHNAP!
this is just brilliant. i love it...this type of thing is totally what alienated me from the furry crowd (among other more disturbing things) heh. it's sad that i see so many people who are identical to the satire in this and they are age 24-30. lulz.

Ohh your sense of humor is amazing. It took me about a minute to realize that this was actually a parody and wouldn't you know that makes it all the better!

"okay..um..moar detail! Yeah, not enough! more tattoos!...adfjdl"...lol yeah..this is so awesome.

THATS why i never get any views on my stuff! I need more bright colors and patterns on my characters...

I will use this every time I make a new character. >C

The "kawaii neko" section is the truest of them all. D8

I hate when people try to make their characters so fucked out it gives my brain a small seizure on its own. I try to stick to plain myself, with just a tiny touch of pizzaz. Gives my head a rest
