@guerrillarain Hee! Being in the Furry Fandom has given me the wondrous opportunity to make friends with so many wonderful artists. It helps that there's such high demand for art within furry -- as the best methods we have for self expression are through other people's skills. This has led to the unfortunate fact that many artists undersell themselves, but the massive amounts of artistic skills this has nurtured has been wonderful, too.
Much of my identity was sculpted by the gentle hands of skilled artists, and I am enriched for it.
