I blame MTV.
ha, no, seriously. i haven't been in the fandom for all that long, roundabout four years. i've always seen the "Only $$$$ a month to join!" so i don't exactly know what i'm missing. i recently discovered a few Bonk & Fossil pictures, but it seems thier site has exceeded its bandwith, though i'm not sure how long that has been that way. i suppose the reason many artists 'hide' their artwork today is due to the advances in technology and the increase in cyber-piracy. i can't say i blame them, i'd be livid if someone stole something i'd worked hard for.
and, if it isnt that, it is simply because the artists have moved on. new jobs, family, and any number of reasons could consume their time and shift artwork to lower priority. they've worked hard to produce wonderful things, i think they should be allowed to take breaks without worrying about them. there are always other, however, so i doubt the fandom, or the genuinely good artwork, will be going away anytime soon.
but seriously, MTV IS the downfall of civilization.

Although I never post here, I've been a member for a while. I just
think that these days we don't see nearly as much great furry/yiffy
stuff as we used to in years past. I remember about 4 or so years
ago I could go to just about any big site (Eric S, J. Bernal, TDK,
battleart, J. Hardiman, etc etc.) and see regular updates all the
time. Nowadays it seems like all the so called big artists (like the
ones above) hardly ever put out regular updates of new material.
Even J. Bernal, who has his pay site, updates weekly with guest art
much of the time. For weks at a time you might not see any new
original J Bernal art on his site, just guest stuff. I'm wondering,
has the great world of fur/yiff art gone downhill? Am I not going to
the right sites? Or are artists just not putting out the great new
material that they used to? What do you guys think is going on
here? I would just die to see new yiffy stuff from Eric S,
Bonk&Fossil, TDK, and Hardiman (although Hardiman does have his eye
problems). Your thoughts guys?
