Reblog For No Reason

Reblogging blog for mongreldog, hobby cartoon artist and failed Ph.D. haver. I mostly draw a circlefaced jerkhead dog guy called Thom. A blog about a depressing SF story type thing featuring Thom can be found at rezqrecovery. This is my main project so do check it out. I am also on Twitter here and I am an egomaniac like everyone on the Internet so I welcome Asks.

Ken Sample and his cougar character, origin of the fursona.

From "The Fandom" on YouTube.

Here's a couple other really good pieces from him I thought should be included in the post!!

And Ken is still active in the furry fandom! He's relatively quiet, but you can still find him posting his art on Furaffinity and Bluesky. He takes commissions. Go check him out and support his work :)

I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.

In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.

Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.

Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.

Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!

Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.

In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)

And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.

And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'

All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.

Just another art dump as I don't post here much! Mostly these are pictures of Thom. Thom is a deep space rescue worker for the nightmarishly bad employer REZQ - you can read his story in bitesize illustrated fiction moments by going to http://rezq.space. It’s a hypertext story and you can read the bits in any order, and they’ll build up a picture of Thom’s life. If you like dystopian hypercapitalist science fiction you might like it, even if you’re not a furry. I’m actually an OK writer!

Yeah a lot of these drawings are a little on the suggestive side, because who cares lol

Not being a furry is a chemical imbalance in the brain and can be corrected with medication

my aunt is watching some generic daytime tv talkshow and the hosts are very cheerfully going "yknow this AI thing isnt actually as cool as i thought it was- i keep noticing the google overview getting facts wrong! isnt that weird?" and its very funny watching regular middle aged people finally catch on. we did it lads it took long enough.
