Blurring the lines between fan art and Harko-hate, Daoni did a parody of one of the comic's pages to express his displeasure. Here is the original page for context- And here is his version- Well at least he suggested people are in awe of my original art style! (Original art style in this case meaning- the way I draw things because I don't know any better.)

Suddenly I can.
I don't know Hark, I think that "parody" is better than the original.
What's this about not copying? You're a fucking tool for not doing it, but... copying?

Ive learn that the "furry community" is just that, a community, with its own rules and norms. I don't know what all these expectations are, but I'm aware I don't seem to follow them. The art of my comic seems to irritate some of them, not just because its not very good but because I am in some way doing it fundamentally wrong.
I think there is generally a certain look to furry art and since my pictures don't look like that (and probably wouldn't even if I tried) people feel I'm not participating properly. A lot of people don't like the comic, but its always been the furry community that were most annoyed by the art.

That does sound possible.

Perhaps have a character swallow someone else whole? Or add more tits. Seriously Hark, it's like you're not even trying.

Hhaha one day I will just sell out and totally do that and I will have several thousand readers in a month.

Still better killer bunnies than Jack. I don't get, though, why of all the pages he chose to parody that one. I mean, there's no shortage of stiff action scenes in the comic, but that one is mostly static with characters standing and talking. Not much could be improved by referencing. Well, maybe the poor Cansaibe guy. The "copying" sounds fishy as hell, but I think he just means referencing poses off pictures of people / animals. Well, do you ever use references, Hark? The art of my comic seems to irritate some of them, not just because its not very good but because I am in some way doing it fundamentally wrong. Are you sure it's because of some arcane taboos of furries you're breaking and not because the way you draw certain things looks just wrong to someone who does art professionally? I mean, it's unexpected to hear you speak disparagingly of furries, considering Harkovast got a fair bit of fanart when it was more exposed to the community. Unfortunately, none of us here now can draw (except Wordweaver?). Hhaha one day I will just sell out and totally do that and I will have several thousand readers in a month. If only it was possible! Long ago I also thought, wouldn't it be so cool to earn thousands of dollars just from people wanting, for some reason, more and more pictures of anthros doing icky things? You just need to learn to draw a bit! Well, I can't draw, but also the market seems really saturated, like a… Know what, let's not go through with a fitting metaphor.

The reason he went with that one is because I update the comic intermittently on other sites so that was the last one I posted on Furraffinity, the Furry art posting site.
This could well be it. They are just more arty and so are harder to please. Though it seems to get less hostility on Deviant art, which is less solidly furry.
The fan art was when I was on Drunk Duck more, which had a super friendly community that is all about doing art for each other and stuff. They aren't especially furry dominated. Sometimes DD is TOO friendly and accepting. One of the top ten comics right now is one about a 40 something man wanting to bang an overly sexualised, under aged goth girl!
To be completely clear, I didn't mean to disparage the Furry community. I've found that generally they are the people who seem to dislike the comic the most, but that's not a criticism. Not liking Harkovast is not a crime (until I take over the world, anyway). I was just observing that it's curious that they are the people who seem to respond the most negatively too it, when you might assume they would be the ones that would enjoy it. There are furries who like it, and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Don't worry StyxD, your position as my biggest critic remains unchallenged!

Sometimes DD is TOO friendly and accepting. One of the top ten comics right now is one about a 40 something man wanting to bang an overly sexualised, under aged goth girl! That just sounds like the plot of an anime I've heard about. DD still exists? Who knew. 've found that generally they are the people who seem to dislike the comic the most It still may be because they're more experienced with art, and especially art of anthropomorphic animals… Don't worry StyxD, your position as my biggest critic remains unchallenged! I aim only to please. I need to get around to write up a commentary about the latest pages - I don't comment underneath the pages to not bother with the system, but I think they're interesting for a few reasons.

Wait that one with the white guy in Japan who wants to fuck the Goth kid who is also a mob bosses' daughter... who is also married to him because weird shenanigans... is still around?

Frankly, my reaction to that tends kinda towards: "Japan?" I don't think that's fair, but it does seem to take a fair bit from Japanese anime and manga. Like that weird bit about the brother also wanting to fuck his Goth sister as well. Incest seems weirdly common in some of that Manga stuff.
