Though thinking of what you typically see in these style
magazines, they have a lot of 'anger and attitude' that
Jim's stuff in general does not suggest to me. A few of
the pics like the one with Demona pinning Cigar Skunk may
be well received, but Jim doesn't generally draw enough
skulls and similar for that audience taste. Just because I
listen to Funker Vogt, Rammstein, Apoptygma Berzerk and
others doesn't mean that others who have similar listening
tastes also feel the need to inspect the cervix of a nubile
anthro skunk.
Not saying Jim _couldn't_ get a few slots in a mag, but
doing a piece regularly can be time consuming (Tokes does
the comic strip Stinkfinger that is published in one of the
Harley mags - can't remember which). They usually want a
quick colour and are more simple story based (something
funny to read) and a 'wrong' factor like found in some of
the porn mags as opposed to appreciating a set of fine
lines intended for the broader thinking member of the
community. Many people still see anthropomorphics having
sex as bestiality (had to explain this to Tokes the other
day actually - it would be like calling humans the same as
apes), and don't welcome explicit 'sex between animals' as
they see it.
Keep ideas flowing through; we may happen across something
that could be a break maybe not for Jim, but someone else
one the group. You never know! Feel free to disagree with
me (or agree) and give your points; there could be things
I've overlooked.
Scrapper, Black Dragon, not pessimistic, just facing the
cold facts of the world.
