Sam Fennah / FailSafe42 - Atheist furry who dropped out of college; sperged to Bionicle fans about God not existing #SAVEBOB

Thats also a good point.
His Very fetish outlook on things in his universe will undoubtly make it harder for him to make sales, cause of all of the beheadings/Ejaculating on corpses/Obvious fetish bait world and all of that.
That could easily limit him down even more on who prints and sells the book.

Part of my previous insight is related to experience working with people to get their own book published. During that I found out a lot of publishers will just redirect you to a different division who does NSFW content under a different name, in fact they are actively seeking to find out if they should redirect you or not more than anything.

Printing a self published book however, so long as it breaks no laws, is pretty easy. They ask no questions beyond those of production. Sellers are also not to picky, as most sellers are happy to sell smut.

The big concerns are the cover, the sample chapter, and legality of content. After that they just hide the more fucked up shit far deeper in their system.

HMmmm fair enough, thank you for clarifying my knowledgeable fellow Kiwi.

His commission from SlurpieDoo on Twitter looks fantastic. Just goes to show you that 2d is the way to go with his designs. And the lack of thirst, Lucy looks like a cool character

It's what we all say, his designs would work if they were done the right way.

I wonder if he's aware of the fact but holding out due to spite. Nah. Too much ego.

No hes just dead set on the 3d style he has ALWAYS been doing no matter how off and weird his designs look. Which is ironic since his girlfriend does basically everything BUT 3d animation on twitter, experimenting with styles and all that

I actually recall him saying in a stream that he likes 2D animation, but he felt that it didn't fit his kind of style. He said something about wanting people to go to liverpool and say "thats where Lucy Lacemaker sat." Etc. It waa probably a year ago he spoke about that, but the memory is still fresh in my mind so I'd thought I'd put it out there as to why he doesn't do 2D.

I don't hate the art, it is striking and makes his many nippled beast look somewhat frightening and intimidating. Though it does draw attention to something a bit wonky about his character design. Specifically its colourization.

Fennah likes to design most his critters as predators, you can tell based on the teeth, claws, muscle structure, eye positioning, ears, and so on. His fetishes further point towards this intention. Oh, I also guess his apparent desire to make things "scary" also drive him towards trying to poke the "spooky predator" part of our brains too.

This art shows what seems to be a predator on the move, walking like it would when hunting. The nature documentary on it would be something like "The beast moves through the cold winter streets seeking its prey. The only sound it makes is the click of its its long and sharp claws upon the stones where the snow has been swept away."

The way everything is structured would absorb most the impact allowing it to move quietly, stealthily, and unnoticed until it pounced to kill its prey.

So why in the thrice mangled fuck is it bright fucking blue? This fucking thing sticks out so much that evolution demands it goes back in the fucking ocean, where blue can act somewhat as camouflage, and not even bother with so many land based adaptations.

Also, since this thing is aquatic, lets shit on that while I am sperging

Spoiler: Sperg

The hair is a waste of calories and wouldn't work quite right in the ocean, not even as a form of making itself look more imposing, not to mention since there is so little hair it can't provide warmth from the cold of the ocean (in fact that creature looks like it should be absolutely freezing in the scene it is in), the claws are poorly suited to swimming, digitigrade legs are shit for swimming as well, the tail doesn't look like it could work as a fin since most of the width seems to be from more fur which would fail to build the required, water resistance to propel the creature forward, and the toes seem to lack enough webbing to properly swim. Not only that, but limbs interfere with the streamlined hydrodynamic shape needed to chase down fast moving prey.

Sam's creatures always fall apart at a biological standpoint.

Spoiler: Sperging about brains and why this thing is probably an idiot

You want something more fun this tells us about its biology though? This creature either doesn't have its brain in its head, which means it has a significant lag on vision compared to any animal you would be familiar with since the optical nerve would need to travel from its eyes in its head to here the brain is, which would need to be at the minimum up inside its chest, or it is actually really fucking stupid and only possesses animal level intellect. No seriously, its brain wouldn't be that powerful and the creature wouldn't be that smart if the brain is in the head.

So a big limitation to the mass of a brain, which matters more than the size for intellect, is holding that thing up. Humans are able to be so smart because our heads sit vertically on our spines. Not much work needs to be put into keeping them up while we move. Dogs, cats, and many other animals who have their heads supported by the muscles of their neck horizontally on their spines need to keep those brains proportionally light to save calories and so the neck doesn't snap. This is also why so many primates and birds are rather intelligent, they can support a smarter brain. Sea mammals like whales and dolphins don't really have necks and have the water to support the weight so the same advantage can be applied to them helping with brain power. Cephalopods, which are also generally quite intelligent animals, don't really have any bones to snap and don't have the support problem either, which means they too can be quite intelligent.

Now think about all of that and look at this nipple hoarding beast? This seems to be the natural way it moves. Fennah tends to design quadrupeds that, if needed, can move to two legs and use their hands, rather than true bipeds. That means its brain is going to be as light as possible to get by. It should be too stupid to even speak. If it isn't, that means its various senses have been traded out, since it lacks the brain power to use them, so as to leave space for more intellect, making it a rather shit hunter.

Oh, also, unfortunately this all means Lucy Lacemaker would actually be capable of at least being of human level intellect. If you put this thing in a room with Lucy, Lucy would be the smart one. Though this thing could probably rip her to pieces and gnaw on her fucking bones, and considering its probable animalistic intellect, likely would. So picture that scene. It'd be more entertaining than any of Fennah's random violence.

These kinds of observations are so funny, when you remember how much the guy expounds on his "biologically" evolved creatures. It just goes to show that he hasn't touched a fucking biology book probably since high school.

Don't hate on me for this, I'm just saying what I heard straight from Fennah's mouth. Fennah stated that the reason Celia doesn't look aquatic (and I'm not making this up) is because he completely scratched that idea, he said that instead of aquatic themed he has since changed Celia's design to look more "Galaxy themed" which explains the stars... BUT- why the nipple chains? Well, Fennah also stated that the reason Celia has so many nips n' chains is because she's basically a sadomasochist. She's suppose to be this mysterious "deep thinking" kind of character that has a realistic but twisted view on reality I guess. Idk what's up with this trope of characters that like hurting themselves, Fennah constantly does this trope like... Winifred use to slit her wrists and now Celia likes piercing her body. Why tho? Stop it, get some help.

These kinds of observations are so funny, when you remember how much the guy expounds on his "biologically" evolved creatures. It just goes to show that he hasn't touched a fucking biology book probably since high school.

Thing is, this isn't too hard to learn about. Most concept artists I know were taught in school what predator and prey physiology look like, and while I have no such education I acquired much of mine by observation, logical deduction, then looking into the terminology and research to see if it backed my own deductions, and for the most part it did. As for the colour stuff, well learning more about the colouration of animals and how that affects them isn't too hard. My rant on colouration for example is quite easily done by simply researching crypsis as used by predators, primarily camouflage.

For understanding what makes a creature a good swimmer, you just need a rudimentary understanding of hydrodynamics and look at a few animals swimming to understand that.

If I wasn't picking on him already, and its just funny to laugh at him, I would've let the brain thing go. It isn't a particularly well known thing even among most biologists, it only really comes up among zoologists, where it is more important for them to know such things.

"Galaxy themed", ok, so the stars and that create a new issue. They just further murders any way for it to be stealthy outside the water, believe it or not but a few animals actually do help hide themselves underwater by creating light so as to be less visible from below, the stars could in theory do something similar to that in a biologically viable creature.

You could argue its supposed to help the creature hunt from above, but she can't fly. He really has a thing for the "biologically evolved" aspect of these critters, but fails to really consider what that means. Evolution doesn't create perfection, it finds "good enough" and then finds a local optimization for that trait, however it punishes actively detrimental traits, which includes poor colouration for a given niche. As a predator bright blue and sparkly is a detrimental trait unless your prey can't see that chunk of the visual spectrum, is outright blind, you are underwater, or hunt from the night sky by flying.

So the aspect to make it galaxy themed just made it more fit for being an amphibious predator, so he managed to fail by trying to dodge his fail.

The reason I don't pick on Lucy's design from this biological standpoint is because she's so god damn old now and more of a mascot than anything, but I would expect better of his newer creations since he argues the biology angle so often with them.

Onto the nips and piercings thing:

I won't judge a sadomasochistic character for being sadomasochistic. I am a sadomasochist myself, so it'd be hypocritical and also be arguing for a character that I have less basis to relate to, but it is notable in how often they show up in Fennah's work, makes me think he is either a sadist, a masochist, or a sadomasochist. A sadist would take enjoyment from hurting their characters, a masochist would take enjoyment imagining being the characters on the receiving end, and a sadomasochist would naturally get the double win here. Thing is that still doesn't explain the quantity of nips, only the quantity of piercings. You don't need more nipples to pierce, in fact there is an entire subculture and kink around such excessive piercing, here have a reference picture in a NSFW spoiler below.

Spoiler: NSFW

Yes, those are attached by piercings, and yes, part of the kink is pulling on the ribbons to cause pain. This isn't even the most extreme example I have seen. The most extreme I've seen was in person, and went front and back as one continuous ribbon, and got around the body by threading through piercings on the soles of the feet. Kinky body modders are some of the craziest people you'll meet.

The idea of a character fulfilling their impulses for pain through excessive piercings could be interesting if well written, since this is Fennah it won't be, and you could even give them behavioural impulses like tugging on the piercing when upset or stressed, or when just excited. I know of masochists who dig their nails into their palms under similar conditions, I even know a person who has chained piercings on their arm and tugs them when they are upset, so it is a trait real people have, mind you they are poorly adjusted people, but people do have such traits. For Fennah however, well we all know it is just a fetish for him and he's never put deeper thought into the mind of such a individual who would do these things other than "I wanna fuck it". I would love to know what his actual fetishes are, because my god he seems to have quite a list.

That's the idea, even his more "edgy" ideas have potential, however they are just a tell and not a show. The closest thing to that he did was when Winifred occasionally hurt herself, but that was only limited to like two short scenes, otherwise just a bunch of text explaining how she "suffers constantly". And that's the problem, apart from not showing anything, he doesn't want to take inspiration from reality to help him in the writing, it's all done from his point of view.

Oh, and an interesting fact, Celia is actually one of his oldest characters, I think even older than Lucy. So he had a lot of time to think about that.

Fennah is clearly aware of what "good" design and writing is. He just is seemingly unable to produce it. This is evident by how easily salvageable all his ideas are.

I have also noticed he avoids having art produced that puts these characters together that isn't his decapitation and humiliation fetish. He doesn't seem to produce art designed to characterize his, well, characters. I think one of the reasons I immediately got sold on Fontaine was his artwork and most screenshots of him grant him a personality and character.

Fontaine looks like the friend you want to have, but also don't want to trust too blindly. A glance tells me he's a swindler, a liar, a cheat, and likely near the center of a web of schemes and crime.

Celia looks like a fetish piece. Like the person drawing her wants to "be crushed by dommy mommy Celia" I know nothing of her personality or character from looking at her.

Oh, Sam is 200% a sadist, maybe sadomasochist but with all his fixation of punishing/humiliating weakness and how his author's pet Lucy is usually the one dishing out pain rather than receiving it I'm inclined to think he's more on the sadistic side. And look, I'm not going to judge anyone for their kinks. We've all got em. But there's a time and a place for them. His problem isn't that he's a sadist, it's that he's a narcissistic retard who thinks his shit doesn't stink and that it's okay to tout these clearly fetish-based, wank-bait characters as anything more than that.

The fact that he seems to be okay with minors looking at his stuff is my biggest concern. Do I think he's an active predator? Probably not. But he definitely doesn't understand what is and isn't appropriate for a creative project that children/teenagers can access.

 

[JustMeLol2021]

Thats also a good point.
His Very fetish outlook on things in his universe will undoubtly make it harder for him to make sales, cause of all of the beheadings/Ejaculating on corpses/Obvious fetish bait world and all of that.
That could easily limit him down even more on who prints and sells the book.

I'm getting sick just thinking about it. Like... it is possible to make a creature design with nudity and have it not look super sexual, but Fennah just can't do that. It's ok to have nudity in art, but Fennah goes overboard. All the constant chest and hip jiggling when he animates is distracting as fuck and it's uncomfortable to look at in my opinion. It sucks when you think about all the potential that this story could have had, but then you realize that it's never gonna happen and this new story is a joke.

I'm getting sick just thinking about it. Like... it is possible to make a creature design with nudity and have it not look super sexual, but Fennah just can't do that. It's ok to have nudity in art, but Fennah goes overboard. All the constant chest and hip jiggling when he animates is distracting as fuck and it's uncomfortable to look at in my opinion. It sucks when you think about all the potential that this story could have had, but then you realize that it's never gonna happen and this new story is a joke.

You can see the evolution of his fetish art over time.
If you look at the early designs you can see how his ocs were more "normal" monsters. But he remodeled it and with it brought that sexual content.
Just look at Winifred or even Lucy herself, in her early designs they looked fine by his standards, but he remodeled them and now they have these huge hips and thick bodies.
Now it's getting to a worse point, just look at the new Hyzenthlay, she went from being a half normal squirrel to having that horrendous humanoid body. Or that new oc he showed recently, that besides nipples, she has that area with pubic hair.
The only ones that had that kind of body from the beginning were Helgan and Celia.
