Bahh, most of what I could say as already been said in a more articulate way than I could have said. By which I mean the nay-sayers. However, I greatly appreciate the work done, though, I still thought it was a pretty cool front page, especially the awesome hexagon snowflakes. ^_^

EDIT: Also took a look at the source, chuckled at <!-- cum snow -->
Also my lovely #002D56 is back, ♥~

In all seriousness, I don't think e621 needs a mascot at all. I like the simplistic site design and none of the mascots, even the ones designed after the layout, don't really seem to flow with it.

That said, I think the huge boner on the front page is a wonderful symbol of e621's free-spirit. I like it because I didn't expect it at all and I laughed. It's not going to be there forever.

And if you come to a porn site (and yes, this is a porn site, don't be fooled) to look at strictly clean art, then don't be surprised when you see a dick every once in a while. If seeing a dick for a split second before you type in your search causes you severe illness, I would see a doctor or don't bookmark the front page.

Thank you for not being a screeching hate-maggot. You are a good person.

I still think the faceless hexagon with the little ears was a perfect mascot. :P

I just hope that Esix and the other mascots get used too.

I'm going to adblock that image on the front page. I don't really need to see a weird Amadillo dick every time I come here. We don't need a mascot and this website doesn't need to be anymore like FurAffinity. ...and Narse could of at least drawn a dragon.

My first thought on seeing this was "Man, people are going to RAEGE so hard." I'm pleasantly surprised to see that (most) of the discussion is calm and polite. For what it's worth:

I'm a little disappointed that the old mascot was thrown out completely, but I can see that it might be the best option: starting fresh, with something new to go with the new iteration of the site.

A few people are saying "why have a mascot at all?" or that the site doesn't need one. But really? We're a fandom devoted to anthropomorphizing everything we can get our paws on. It would be strange if one of our favorite sites didn't have a mascot of some kind. I am curious to hear more about the specific thinking/metaphor behind the species choice: why an armadillo? Durability certainly comes to mind: what else?

Both the spacial re-design of the front page and the use of the explicit version of Dylan there are bad ideas, plain and simple. Yes, there's a lot of porn on e621, and finding said images is probably the main use of the site. But it's not an exclusively sexual site. There's plenty of non-sexual pics too, and all it takes is a decent black list to use the site as an ordinary furry pic finder. Many people do. And there's no reason to alienate them by slapping a nude pic across the frontpage. And, as others have pointed out, not everyone loves the cock. Yes, it's not that hard to bypass the main page, but it's about the message that it sends to visitors: a frontpage is a giant, blinking neon sign that says "This is what this page is about." And, IMHO at least, the page doesn't match up with the character of the site yet. In all fairness, I should mention Varka's earlier post:

"Thanks for the feedback; just to remind you that the front page IS going to be made work-safe (and not so male-specific) very soon, and that I'm going to keep tweaking the mascot over time to ensure he's in keeping with good taste. :p"

Which is yet another bit of evidence in the growing "Varka is awesome" file. Thinks take time to get just right. Understandable.

I'd also echo what other posters have said about Dylan's design: he looks great, but he's not really "Branded" at all: he's just a (sexy) armadillo, not an e621 armadillo. The site has a very distinct and (again, IMHO) awesome visual design, and it feels like we're missing an important opportunity by not echoing that design in him. It doesn't have to be as obvious as the older ones, but there should be *something* there.

That said, I love the character overall. It's more interesting than the twink fox characters, more memorable, and more inclusive to any and all interested in the site, not just those that love cute foxes. With some tweaking I think Dylan could be a great fit for the site.

Drakea said:
Not everyone is as porn-crazed as you are, my friend.

There is a dong-flailing armadillo. On. The front. Page.

I daresay that's about as representative for a furry porn site as you can get without changing its specie to a fox.

I don't mind that it's male, really I don't--but we already had two(Ahem, five?) perfectly good mascots that not only seemed to have fair personality and looked unique, but also matched the color scheme of the site and generally felt right for it.

More than anything, I feel bad for the artists who put hard work into the said mascots in the contest and then don't even get to make use of the work they provided.

Honestly, some of these people who are really outraged about this need to re-read the original post. It specifically stated that another picture of Dylan would be swapped in soon. I am assuming that one will be less blaring as this one is. However, for right now, this site just hit a giant milestone and Dylan, as well as the rest of us, are celebrating. Bro is just rocking out with his cock out is all :P

Furthermore, we should be thankful that such a talented artist as Narse is making drawings for the front page instead of just crying that it isnt one of his signature dragons, albeit they are just lovely. But an armadillo is much more relatable to the real reason for this site. Breaking norms, encompassing everything... Most fursona are based off a few common animals, such as foxes, bears, wolves, dragons, etc. If someone has a more obscure character, such as an armadillo, they probably feel like this site is much more of welcoming place to them.

Again, I would wager that as the site moves forward, Dylan is going to be more noticeably related to the site and that the front page isn't going to have a giant cock on it for long. But for now it is perfectly acceptable to have the new mascot partying how we all want to :P

Also, I think Dylan is hot as hell =]

This happens no matter who wins a contest. Honestly, don't feel bad for the artists. The joy of drawing is what makes them create pictures. This contest simply allowed for them to make a picture for a site they appreciate. Even if they didn't get picked, they now have their own personal e621 mascot as well as the official one. Drawing is its own reward, no matter what you make.

I don't like it. Can't we have a gender-neutral, non-nude mascot?

inb4 nude female Dylan on the front page and no one complaining about it.

Front page image has been modified so the search box covers his crotch; as I mentioned before the whole 'porn on the front page' thing was only temporary (because, holy shit, 100,000 images).

I'm still taking on feedback regarding Dylan and the mascot situation; again as I mentioned mascots are an ongoing evolving thing and I'd like to make it clear that Dylan is going to change over time.

To everyone who was unhappy with the gender of the character: is it more tolerable now that you can't see his junk?

Great. Now make him blue. And give him friends, who are blue as well. :)

oh look, another bad dragon advertisement.

hey guys I wonder whatever happened to those people from the mascot contest.

oh well, back to the porn!

does e621 still holds the rights to use the old mascots? will they still be implemented in any ways?

Old owners hold contest, site goes down, old owners leave, new owner takes up the site, new owner has no obligation to adhere to previous owner's contest.

Good ol' AdBlock to the rescue. Two clicks and the ugly drawing on the front page is gone <3

Plz to take the gay prons off my front page, tyvm. I don't mind looking at cocks, but seriously, this made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Solo male != gay. Do you consider yourself gay when you're taking a shower by yourself?

Women like the cock too.

I'm drawing my own interpretation of Dylan.

obligations are a matter of perspective.

but yeah, obviously Varka can slap up all the bad dragon ads he wants. I won't pay any attention either way.

Why can't we just have some kind of front-page poll for what the mascot should be? Or, just a no-gender cat/fox/dog/ect and something that involves hexagons?

Or... just no mascot at all? I liked how the e621 front page was last time. A post counter, and hexagons.
Also, hexagons.

(By the way, I like the hexagon snow, Murry Christmas)

I could grow to like Dylan if he had a bit more site recognition (a shell of blue hexagons?) and was less blatantly sexual.

As little as my opinion might matter, I'm still going to say I REALLY hate the new mascot. Other than the armadillo part it's about as generic as it gets (more generic than the blue lizard thing from the contest). Then there's the penis and the pose...

Anyone else think it looks a bit like some sort of a birthday party service advertisement? O_o

I hope a page style is released that will allow me to keep dong-wielding armadillo as the main page.

I personally really like it. I also appreciate that you censored it on the front page- that way you don't have to put breasts. I like that he's male and that it's a unique species. I personally like the colors and such. The art itself is quite beautiful I might add.

The only thing I do request is the "18 years or older/explicit warming" on the front page.

Now don't get me wrong i love the new mascot very different and I'm a big fan of Narse, but as cliche as it is, wouldn't a huge wolf knot be more appropriate taking the statistics into account? And why not go for a straight sex scene (no disrespect to sexual preference) but that way at least we get both sexes meeting us when we type the magic letters and numbers into our web browser.

not shure if this is the right place to ask this but here-it-goes @Varka' have you ever seen a site called shinysearch before. i know absolutely nothing about web design and mean no offence ( i'd rather make shure rather than come off as a asshole ) but wouldn't that be a good alternative? like i said i know nothing of how hard it would be to implicate somthing like this but i don't think anyone would complain then. please respond so i know what you think thx

it's a man's world, men don't want to stare and dongs as soon as the site loads, we want boobs

instead of one mascot, i think it would be pretty interesting to have a group pic of all the admin's fursonas standing at the front page. like a party scene or something. or maby a montage of popular characters and such. the single armadillo just doesn't do this site justice in my oppinion.
I think the front page should represent the fact that this is such a close community. not so much the uniqueness of the site.
Besides, it's the community and interaction that makes whe site unique anyway. am I right?

FurZ said:

Do you consider yourself gay if you watch a man taking a showerÉ

Straight up Mascot : Just put a disembodied dick, then keep a little poll to see how many laugh, and how many people get offended. Then put a third option to count how many people complained that you picked the wrong species of cock. (That even sounds silly in context) D:

Honestly, I just want eSix and Hexerade standing there, together.

Its nice, I'll give you that. But not really pleasing to the hetro male/ Lesbian party. Plus its kind of.... Random... Nice shot though.

Just gotta say... its a crap Mascot. =/

And if you gave Narse something for that when he spoils his buddy circle all the time.

Dayum shame. :<

Yes, but that's because I consider myself gay all the time.

Varka said:
So after much deliberation, we decided to go for a new, completely different mascot for the site; thus, we have Dylan the Armadillo!

Representing e621's resilience and uniqueness, Dylan's celebrating (in style, of course) this very important milestone in the site's history, with a toga (which of course hides almost nothing) and an awesome party hat.

We're going to use Dylan as the site mascot for a while as an experiment; I know that by the law of averages we should have a twink furry fox as our mascot but I quite like the idea of having a *unique* mascot; something that represents what the site's about.

The first of two images Narse has drawn for us is currently on the front page (complete with CPU-intensive snowing hexagons); in about a week's time we'll swap this over for the second image we have.

You can see the full image of Dylan here: http://e621.net/post/show/109196/armadillo-balls-dylan-e621-e621_mascot-looking_at_

So, I don't dislike dylan, but I don't feel that the other mascots should just be thrown out.
What if there were different versions of the main page with the different mascots, and people could choose which one they wanted to see in their settings?

So basically what you're saying is:
1. It's illegal, Varka's doomed. 50,000 Screenies of the main page with the dong on it are on their way to the legal department of every building everywhere.
2. People who like girls want moar bewbs. Big Surprise.
3. Even more people blocked it but decided this was an achievement unlocked moment and decided to post about their amazing ad-blocking softwares.
4. ESix kicks ass and deserves to rule over all the e621 pages.
5. People's votes should count, because everyone loves feeling important.
6. Varka's going to change the mascot eventually, gonna go with anything he says in Valve Time on this one.
7. Everyone else is whining about whatever they feel like whining about, starting fights, etc.
8. I love you guys, every single one of you hilarious people. You guys have kept me entertained with your comment fights, and forum wars, and general complaining for years. Big round of applause to every single one of you. And I'm being serious, you guys are the best.
9. Oh, and the porn's great too. Now can we get back to the fapping and the comment wars?

i liked esix better.

Haa haa, the main page has been ninja-edited to correct the dick problem so many of you have a problem with.

It's not "ninja-edited" when Varka announced that he was going to fix it, and then promptly did so. But hey! Thanks for trying.

Ahem.

I like Dylan! he's quite cute and I look forward to seeing how he evolves!
The CELEBRATION image is nice and CELEBRATORY. the PARTY HAT (an object commonly seen around celebrations) is awesome, and I like the fact that the colors are pleasantly contrasting to the blue background and also offer a small nod to the recently past holiday.

I like that he's an armadillo. there are too few armadillos out there. I would agree that he could use a little more to try him to the website (hexagon scales are a nice idea) but think he's quite awesome as is also.

Looking forward to the future!

Bad idea to put nude armadilo as front page.Im ok with nude armadillo ,but on front page?
I'd like to see both Hexerade and Esix on front page to make them equal.

But not nude.

Well, looks like we're well past our 100,000 milestone now (by 200 or so).

I've taken down the snow hexagons and the music now that's over and done with.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

That is a ridiculous claim. 19.3% of this site is rated Safe and many of those "clean" images are at least suggestive by normal standards. That leaves 4/5th of the site as a porn site.

That would mean we have 19,300 clean images. We did hit the 100,000th post, after all... or did we?

Okay, this is dumb... So yeah... Stop repeating what's already said.

It's not illegal for a porn site to show porn on the front page, it's not bad taste to have only a "male" mascot. Fuck you FA asshats had only fender for years, and everyone knows that every "genderless" one is male by the definitions of the internet. Having a female one would be nice, but meh, it's not necessary. The armadillo does need work, we can all agree on that, but someone should actually work on it rather than whine. Drakea, it's a porn site, don't let yourself be fooled by furry logic, you are much smarter than that. Travis you are VERY creepy, always. and Blaziken, you are still pretty much an asshole. That's a given.

Anyone else who makes a complaint already said and wastes my time is gonna get smacked. Capiche?

At this point,t he only thing I can say is that Dylan should so totally have hexagons into his scale pattern. Go for that, and I say 10/10

I'm not sure why I was hanging around the IRC channel as much as I was for a bit. Oh wait, that's because I was lonely as hell and hadn't talked to any of my friends in months and was wanting to make new friends cause I was being weird and emo.

Those are your opinions, but what about the opinions of others? If the opinions of others overweight your opinions, then your opinions are rendered invalid.

And thus, I agree with Boomslang.

Hideous. Doesn't work with the site's theme at all and is a graphic designers nightmare. At least Esix and Hex blended with how the place looked, unless you're planning to turn e621 into an arid, barren wasteland devoid of life.

When you make an entire site that's blue and you want something important to stand out, you made it contrast with the blue, like a yellowish color. I think it looks pretty good.

Two things: Color theory and symbolism.

Anyone that took an art class knows about color theory. We have a dark blue color as the main background, white contrasting off of it otherwise. It's generally monochromatic, just different values of the same hue.

Dylan's primarily a beige color, a light, somewhat yellowed brown. Brown's neutral, and tends to go well with most colors. It doesn't clash. There'a a splash of red and green there, but the values don't differ too greatly (he's not neon) and the contrast works well. Personally, from a composition standpoint, I think it's outstanding, especially now that the search box provides a tasteful (and amusing) sensor.

Second, symbolism. As posted on the FA version, this site's been through a lot, and survived nearly being shut down before. To reflect that, the armadillo was chosen, a hard shell symbolizing the persistence, a rather unique species for a unique site, and in my opinion, one hell of a cute mascot.

Though, if it'd get people to stop whining, I wouldn't mind slapping some hexagons on it. I think it looks great, though.

Not a big fan of the new mascot, but I just changed my book mark to my profile page so I'll never have to see it. But whatever, I'm not going to start whining that they changed it.

You don't get an opinion.

I can agree that Dylan needs a bit more e621 in him... as such, I'd like to ask the graphic designers out there who studied color theory to give me some suggestions (and hell, maybe even a Photoshop mockup) of how we can change his colors and make him fit in more with the site.

Regarding the hexagons: I like the idea of hexagonifying his plates a bit; I think this could tie in nicely without being too obtrusive.

Narse intentionally did the mascot as unstylised as possible; this was to ensure we could bias and tweak his appearance as we went; there's actually another layer of shading I disabled which made him way darker - so we do have options.

So - suggestions (and mockups?) of how to make Dylan more e6-y?

lol speaking of opinions i think mine on page 4 got overlooked. if its not a good idea i at least want a person whose opinion matters to tell me so

I like the idea of hexs on his shell. :D

You mean that contest that Varka didn't participate in? That contest where the old administrators "chose" the top FIVE and then never used ANY of them on the site at all? How is that not a "fuck you" to the artists?

How is saying "I don't care that you own the site, this is what the old administration chose to do" not a big "fuck you" to Varka? What if Varka doesn't like ANY of the old mascots that were presented? Why does he have to be stuck with them when no one from the old administration is here anymore?

And again, I want to stress that we're getting upset over mascots that were NEVER IMPLEMENTED. Dylan being on the front page of the site has already made him used more than any of the other mascots.

Varka is completely open to critique and ideas for the mascot. He's not saying "fuck you" to anyone. I'll admit he came off a little strong and pushy by just saying "here's the new mascot we're going to use", but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to hear your comments about it. Just let him know (constructively).

Char, the mascots were about to be used in the new edition off e621, but since what happened happened, mascots werent used.

Esix pwns armadilo countless times.

The facts are that there's a new owner that has no obligation to use the old mascots. If you don't like it, then leave and go whine about it somewhere else.

Varka promised me a pony!

er.. I mean..

You know all y'all bitching about the old mascots... it's like complaining about campaign promises that Nixon didn't fulfill.

*grumble*

as for how to e6ify Dylan.. I'll mull over it more later (busy putting together a character sheet for my other half today~~) but off hand, what about a 'e6' birthmark, or tattoo? perhaps on his hip or rear or thigh or something? Not words or letters, but, like, a random blue hexagon, with either an orange hex, or ^ mark near it.. you know? :D

I'll mull more later :D

Varka said:

Have him surrounded by the other mascots (particularly Esix and Hexerade), perhaps in a superhero style lineup?
Also, changing his color scheme to match the site would really help.

Honestly though, I personally don't care about the front page because I never look at the front page. Aside from simply liking the older mascots, it really doesn't matter to me.

A mascot should be what embodies the site. Dylan should look like he's e621's fursona. If you imagine what e621's fursona would look like, I bet it's going to be a lot closer to esix than how Dylan looks like now. Blue and hexagons would go a long way fixing that. I don't give a damn about colour theory as long as Dylan looks like he's lost in the wrong place.

In the end it's Varka's decision, but since this site was made by and for its users, the most representative option is what the users imagine the mascot should look like.

Everyone.

Quit bitching and moaning about your little pet favorites from the original administration's little game. It's over. Both those mascots and the original administration are gone. GONE.

This is the new. Quit clinging to your old little comfortable spot with such dogged asbergian determination and embrace the new one. Varka put some effort into this, in an effort to appease you. And you throw it back in his face like a toddler who didn't get his peas.

You don't get a choice. And in case you don't comprehend contractions, You do not get a choice. If Varka decides there's going to be dancing ponies on the front page, there will be dancing ponies. If Varka decides that the front page will be blinding pink, it will be blinding pink. If Varka decides to get Narse to do a piece and put it on the front page, it will be there.

So quit your bitching and go somewhere else if a little thing like an image on the front page offends your delicate little princess-esque personalities. Not a single shit will be given about your departure.

And before the inevitable 'u mad' memes, yes. I mad. I mad.

What are you? Narse's and Varka's pet?

Oh look, a troll.

In the end it's Varka's decision, but since this site was made by and for its users, the most representative option is what the users imagine the mascot should look like.

And you know what they also say about the vocal minority?
