Re: Why THIS tail?!?!

Honestly, Apple, that tail has been overused since JBDs came out.

It's just, everyone thinks, "Oh, JBDs are popular! Let's make mine as close as possible, then it'll be popular too!"

I'm also sick to death of fluffy dragons. x.x
I'm traveling til Friday w/ no access to my tablet!

Mostly quitting CS; I'll check messages on occasion but DA or Skype is probably a better place to contact me.

I don't see the big deal, the tail may have gotten more popular on CS after JBDs, but it's just an Eastern dragon tail (or even a thick lion tail). They're amazingly common and quite fluid for character creation. Practically every depiction of an Eastern dragon sports these tails, they're nothing new or original, and I don't feel JBDs should gets to claim them.

i gotta agree, i've seen many tails like this..but in defense, i think that they are just fun to draw and a cool addition to someone's species. i'm sure lots of people do it just cuz they like it c: plus i think it's something like a trend ever since the JBD's were made; everyone wants to have that tail on their species

This this this this this agh so much this. D:

It's not that the adoptable oekaki doesn't have creativity, in fact there are a few species that fly with imagination and originality, I just wish I could find more of it rather then all.. of this... fluff. ;_________________;

I agree 100%. I think that instead of focusing on how 'cute' a tail looks, when creating a species, people need to think about "why does my creature need a tail?"
Reality is subjective.

I agree. Also, it's been flooding with new adopts, many of them fluffy/dragons/have this fluffy tail etc. It's all those adopts that make me groan, to be honest. ene
Now I have this sudden urge to invent lots of new tails that people can copy so they'll leave this tail alone. |D

i'm sorry for being a stupid newb but what is a jbd v_v

I've seen that tail for ages, mostly on dA's front page. I always thought it was kind of neat on non-dragon creatures. But my favourite kind of tail will always be a rat tail.

Or no tail at all. :3

Nothing on this site is completely original people, not just the tail.

yeah but some things can be overdone; one being this tail.

so yeah i agree, people need to think differently and use less-common ideas, i like those adoptable's better...
