My bro: "I just like to hang around them in VR chat because they have interesting and funny conversations sometimes..."

Me: "Uh huh. Then why is your steam avatar a..."

Bro: "IT LOOKS COOL"

Why would they assume you could draw? And why aren't you handing out commission prices?

I see you don't have relatives that know you work in IT.

Feel like 90% of the furries I watch stream at least do art some of the time and I particularly try to follow artists. So seems like a reasonable expectation for someone who totally definitely isn't a furry, but just interacts with the community and thinks the community is neat.

Making the conscious choice to draw them as generic humanoids rather than as a cute fox and bunny for this specific comic is peak sibling behavior.
