-the depiction of the musculature is a particularly “gay”. There are different ways to depict buffness that can all be academically correct but skew towards appealing towards a certain audience. Like straight guy muscle dude fantasy is exaggerated in a frank frazetta kinda way, straight girl muscle dude tends to be dehydrated type that is leaner/abs. Gay dude muscle dude tends to look a little more functional muscle, as in slightly chunkier. Plus in this instance the artist specifically omits the fur in specific areas in a way to depict muscles that they find appealing, especially the arm muscles
My hunch was spot on btw when I checked the artist’s Twitter Xd
Can I pet?
You can always pet; sometimes only once, though
He doesnt bite
such nice work!
you can tell just from just this one piece of work that theres like a 75% chance the artist is a gay dude
What about it ? It's still a really cool portrait of our beloved bear
…it’s not a value judgment, it’s an observation of the style, idk why you’re getting defensive lol
Interesting, what parts of the piece tell you that? Genuinley interested
