An Idiot in Furs

Published:
1.5K Views

Description

As per title, here's me being an idiot and posing and messing around with some of my various taxidermy specimens.

I'm wearing that (oh so warm and nice) hat I made, my wolf pelt is draped around my shoulders and I'm holding a red fox (which I nicknamed 'Victor') by his tail.

Trying my hand at some faux-vintage photography, any critique will be appreciated.

Note: None of the animal parts here were killed by me. The hat was made of a pelt that was torn to bits and may have been thrown away, the red fox has no bullet holes in him and I believe he was killed via injection, the wolf was taken legally in Canada where they have a healthy population that can sustain a hunting season. None of them were "skinned alive" and none of them came from a fur farm.

I honestly thought a moment on reporting this for the sake of thinking you had stolen an old photograph of from Google, not until I read the artists comments did that big slap in the face step forward.
This reminds me highly of the images placed in my high-school textbooks that refer to fur trading and settlement. The only way I would say that it could be improved upon is by perhaps adding a faded, or tarnished effect to increase the age looking qualities, otherwise I think you did a fantastic job, the impact isn't increasingly high just because I in personal taste don't get much feeling out from it, aside from that initial shock that you had actually posed for this picture.
