Hey I keep seeing this picture around:

http://imgur.com/1OKxebe

But I can't find the source picture to save my life. I've tried everything, but 99% of the pictures I can find are just profile pictures, or on pinterest shudders

Can you guys help me out? What artist is this, what character is this, and is there a more complete version of this character, and or picture out there somewhere?

Answers your questions.

I'm 99% sure this image was made before april of this year. Since I'm 99% sure I saw it more than a year ago being used as a profile picture.

This "artist" the one who uploaded it, also has uploaded this:

https://furrydevilshaman.deviantart.com/art/More-trash-675179517

Which is described by the uploader as "more trash" suggesting THEY made it. But it was actually made by:

Not to mention this post here:

https://furrydevilshaman.deviantart.com/art/Heh-i-tried-to-do-realisim-with-my-paint-studio-675179960

Where the "artist" claims they're doing realism but it's just traced/painted over of an actual real life photo found here:

So no that's not the real artist, that's not the original uploader. It doesn't answer any questions :( Thanks for trying though.

And, of course, it is FA. That explains why neither Cyan or I could find valid sources.

Helps to recognize artists and characters.

Thank you! I don't know why this didn't show up in my own search, since I reverse image searched it and specifically typed in "furaffinity" along with "e621" and the others.

(pinterest floods the entire google result tho)

I managed to find many other pictures of the same character.

His name is "fang" and he's a fursona of

For anyone curious.

It'd help more if we didn't have to rely on hat tricks.

But seriously, FA became a big pain in the ass as of late, and I'd further complain but this isn't the thread for that.

FA isn't indexed because they ask to not be indexed in their robots.txt. You'd need to find a reverse image search website that ignores those requests.

Not entirely true. Current robots.txt allows user and submission pages. It's that mature and explicit market posts do not appear on regular page, accessing those submissions directly tells it's for registered users only and registered users need to seperately allow them in their user settings. Users can also choose to restrict their submissions from unregistered users regardless of rating and this is what has happened here - try accessing that source link without being logged in and you cannot see the submission at all.

So if you are searching for safe content, changes of google having the thing indexed is much higher. Just not entirely sure why even with those the results are bit inconsistant as I have had results going to random users profiles as they had the artwork favorited.
