Yeah, a friendo says the same thing even if his main portfolio involves anthropomorphic characters & creature design. That being said though, he's got a wide breadth of understanding regarding various subject matters & mediums, both traditional, digital, and their respective 2D and 3D counterparts.
Don't really want to namedrop him here though since he can be a bit special on the internet at times, but he's got enough self-awareness to regret any mistakes after the fact & subsequently tries to resolve them.
And yes he's dabbled in the more degenerate digital arts of furries, and found to not like it despite the extra traffic from furfags. Guess he's got morals of some kind at least.
