Also, the design of Furbaby itself is pretty horrific, you really hit the nail on that respect.

Thank ye!
Whoa, really interesting. I found your works recently and damn, that shit fascinate me. All your animations are pieces of art! Keep it up. Also I'd like to see more of this kind of posts, understand the mind behind these animation will be cool.
Aight, I'll try to make more of them then!
Thanks for the replies, always very nice to have a chance to interact with a artist like this. :)
I look forward to more information, as I said, I really do admire it a lot, you realized your ambition on scale and effort, and probably exceeded it on originality and creativity, as per above.
And apologies, my reference was very cryptic and slightly mangled! On Furbaby part B, in the Produce Food segment, the job interview candidate is sacrificed to make food... and he lists amongst his hobbies as 'movies', hence my reference to him being an artist. What I meant by my comment above was that I suspected that he might be self-depreciating self reference in a sneaky way...
Oh no, he's not an artist.
I made his hobbies (watching) movies and going out because most people like watching movies and going out. It's something that says nothing about himself, he's kind of supposed to be an expendable human being.
Ah, ok! Guess my speculation was pretty off the mark then. Look forward to reading more about it, when you have the time! :)

That's very interesting, very interesting indeed! I've always been very intrigued about the meaning behind Furbaby Loves You, and that goes a significant way into explaining it! Watching it has always felt like watching a satire of something... but just quite of what, and why, has always eluded me.
I mean, it <feels> like there's some greater depth bubbling beneath the surface, just referencing things that I'm not familiar with! I will say one thing, you both kind of did and did not achieve the 'ultimate' click to torture! Certainly in the sheer originality, creativity and excellent animation, you achieved, or at the very least came as close as possible to achieving that goal. The tortures themselves, I will say, aren't that horrifying... so if that was the target it doesn't really get there. But I hope it wasn't, because what you have achieved is just something else...
I certainly hope you feel the need to share more of the insights into Furbaby Loves You, I would love to know more!
(Also, I've had a sneaky suspicion for a while that the sacrificed artist is somehow a self-depreciating reference... am I correct in this? ;) )

Oh yeah, the goal wasn't to make the "tortures" particularly gruesome. It wanted to make it the "ultimate" click-to-torture thing based on scale and effort.
I'll probably make more blogposts on the making of and meaning of furbaby, maybe the next blogpost will be about furbaby, maybe it'll be about something else, we'll see!
I'm not quite sure who you mean by the sacrificed artist? Could you be more specific?
