Draw yourself as an O&M character!

I look at Celsius as more of a weather indicator.
Sure, 0 degrees isn't necessarily cold, but what's more important to me is that it tells me what the weather will be like. If above zero, I know the ice will be slushy, roads will be wet, and it there is any precipitation, it'll be rain. And if the temperature is under 0, I know that all that slush will freeze again, the wet roads will be icy...etc.

Although I think in Celsius for temperature, I still tend to use feet, and then kilometres, but I frequently call them miles anyway. It's confusing.

Remember that "mile" came from the French for "thousand"...:

Why are we talking about temperatures/distances?

Topic drift.

Topic drift.

Similar to continental drift, but faster.=

We don't switch to metric because saying "Give them a centimeter and they'll take a kilometer" just sounds goofy.

Also, I wonder how much more dangerous it is to accidentally shock oneself from a wall outlet in Europe.+

[Rooster]

Probably less dangerous, as your plugs only have 2 teeth...British ones are 3 pinned.

Also, we use Miles here, just metric everything else as it's seen as old-fashioned.

Oh, and of course we have pints here too

I didn't want to make a new thread for this remark.
Why is it that any time I'm drawing anthropomorphic characters, if someone sees me they say, "Why are you drawing f**king cats?"
When clearly MOST of my drawings are Canine!?
I mean, asking why animals I could understand, but why do they ask me why I'm drawing cats? Do my drawings look Feline?

[Muninn]

I always thought they were largely generic furries, but some looked like foxes to me. I never really thought about it. However, looking at your current avatar, it doesn't look canine to me, but then, until you said it, I thought he was female, so maybe my brain isn't working right.r

I think the problem is that in some styles of furry art when these animals are given anthropomorphic qualities , some of their original distinctness is lost. To the untrained eye, some species can look somewhat similar. I think it really depends on who's drawing it and who's looking at it.

After all, I've seen some people call Ozy a wolf.

[Comrade K]

The more stylized a picture becomes, the more it differs from the original subject. Now, obviously your art is very stylized, and because of that, many of the distinguishing features of the species you draw are altered.
Maybe find some features, like the muzzle, and make them more distinctly canid.Z

I find that in the Jack comic I can rarely tell what species something is.

I'm with K on this one, the muzzle is often a good sign of what something is, and your style doesn't really have dog-like muzzles. Not that I'm saying you should change, it's just that they don't look very canine to me.

[Steve the Pocket]

I've had Splotch mistaken for a cat. I think most people just don't expect to see doodles of species like wolves or foxes, so they assume pointy ears = not dog, therefore cat.
