Old old old old old as hell before the Devil lit the first bonefire there, this pic was done waaaay back when Furrevolt ([link]), a gallery of original militaristic anthro art, was still under my direct "command", when Second-in-Command D.Kuzmichev, aka the Tushino Marsupial Devil, suggested we use a poster approach to the whole project. Seemed like a good idea to use a famous Soviet poster "Have you volunteered to join the army?", considering the nature of Furrevolt, and so it's stayed as the project's unofficial mascot to this day. I personally think it looks impressive enough to leave it alone without redoing it any time soon. So I'm a lazy bum.

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-08-12
I've always been a fan of these pseudo propaganda posters, and "Furrevolt" by ~Xatchett, and the colors may look flat but they're not simple at all. Inspired by the famous Soviet poster "Have you volunteered to join the army?", this is a drawing with old reminiscences, but still not behind the times...

И почему мне на ум при виде картинки вспоминается Иван Брагинский?

Sooo.... what is the Furrevolt for exactly? Is it supposed to deviate from the usual blatantly sexual nature of most furry art on the web, or is it just for people with a Soviet furry fetish? Or both?

The first, more or less.
I never was part of the furry fandom, though I do enjoy and draw anthropomorphic animals, for a number of reasons. First of all, the fandom didn't even produce any original art "en masse" back in 2002, and there was nothing to work with - it was a dead end. Secondly, the Russian fur community has always been more of the "furries are kind, lovable and about sex" type - and I can't say I share that point of view. There wasn't really any alternative for a person to turn to.
The idea started as a joke comment about a furry army by someone on a comic book forum, and I felt "Why the hell not? Sounds fun".
At first I tried to get some backing from the furs, those that were not openly associated with yiff, but most of the responses were sneers and "Help, terrorists!". So I turned towards the comic book artist and animator community, and it worked beautifully. Most of the folks that started and participated in Furrevolt at it's very beginning were prolific comic book artists, animators and illustrators - Komardin ([link]), Solovieva ([link]), Komarov ([link]), Kuzmichev ([link]), Shturman ([link]) - some of them didn't even know what furry meant before, and almost none of them were (or are now) furry affiliates.
After that, we really didn't care about what folks though about us - we were anything but dependent on their point of view, you know. And we got what we were aiming at - we're probably one of the largest Russian-based gallery of original Russian anthro art to date, if not the largest.

The theme is anything militaristic, not just Russian. If you look closely, you'll see that the drawings are not limited to Soviet designs -

Hmm, sounds like a pretty good cause.

So, is it for Russians only, or can anyone join? Also, is there an English translation for the webpage?

There was one, and the site was bilingual at one time, and we had folks from a number of countries around the world, but I just didn't have the time to keep it updated. I handed over the reigns to another person, who redid the design, made a lot of improvements - but there was a catch. He didn't know any English. The site got turned into Russian only.
It hasn't been updated for a while, but I intend to resurrect it as soon as I settle everything.
