Ok, so here's a full-body subject in ...a boring pose, sure, but it's not from the cartoon. ^^
Anyway, this is Chauncey from Dic's 'Heathcliff' series (the one with 'The Catillac Cats' B-stories).
Anyway, Chauncey was a stray who got caught by the dog catcher. But because Chauncey's a friend of both Heathcliff and Marcy, Heathcliff rescued Chauncey from the pound.
The featured pencil is an antique, white-lead J. W. Guttknecht specimen (presumably made in Bavaria). J. W. Guttknecht is, of course, the name of a person/stationer, but the surname may be translated to, 'good servant', per the wisdom of my good friend
"Guttknecht is a construction of the words "gut" and "Knecht" which on their own translate to "good" and "servant" Combinations like that sometimes happen when it comes to person and/or company names. So there´s most likely no deeper meaning behind the word itself"
Tobias also said (on FA), " Alternatively, it might also come from the word "Gutsknecht" which is a farmhand on a big farm ;3 "
So many meanings! D:
As for 'Heathcliff' ...it aired on both NickJr and Nickelodeon (respectively, and at one point together) through most of the 90s. Consequently, though I didn't make it a point to watch the show, I have likely (without trying) seen every episode. ^^
The 'Heathcliff' A-stories and 'The Catillac Cats' B-stories are night and day---you'll not convince me that some early furries weren't involved in the latter's art dept (I mean, just look at Cleo and Wordsworth! lol). The latter's stories were also better in general, IMHO (Heathcliff was what you had to watch to get to the better stuff---that's how I see it).

Now TCC has a furry fanbase. They're again not Garfield popular, but people REMEMBER 'em.
Nowadays of course people AIM for furry content. Even something like the Avatar movies the director wanted his characters to explicitly be sexually attractive.

Oddly, I could count on one hand the number of times I've seen avatar fan art (not that I look for it, but I see many, many, MANY thing on the incidental). I think Lego is or was making an Avatar set, but that may've been a rumor or just an Ideas submission.

Nobody said Cameron was GOOD at pandering. (Or, for furries, is that panda-ing?) 3D tends to lag behind 2D in inspiring art for some reason. Still, his comments on it are weird, even for this site.

Perhaps, but they still tend to attract smaller fandom. Only two have really managed much presence, Zootopia and the Chipmunks movies. Though The Bad Guys looks promising.

It'll change anyway, as digital art becomes more and more omnipresent. Moreover, I think because CG characters are (well) computer-generated, it won't be long before one can copy-paste a character model to move/pose at one's discretion at home. It can probably be done already.

Interestingly the latest DBZ (And CADRR) movie has CGI designed to look like 2D, so perhaps we'll see more of that. There does seem to be a shift, but a slow one. We still like our 2D toons.
Trust me, you CANNOT copy-paste a model unless someone's given it to you. Through effort you can make one that looks a lot like the footage, but working backwards to extract those models is near impossible, even with AI tools. This is what stops furries from flooding this site with a literal torrent of smut. A video game is much easier, the model NEEDS to be included in it. That's why high quality models for Elden Ring have been there almost from Day 1, while nobody's modeled Benjamin Clawhauser yet.

I barely remember Heathcliff OR Garfield except that Garfield was voiced by Lorenzo Music who also did Carlton the Doorman on a sitcom in the mid to late 70's. He was so deadpan in his delivery that it fit Garfield to a tee.
A white lead pencil? I know of white charcoal pencils as I have a few but don't think I have any white LEAD. You should do a white on black drawing with one if you have one sharpened just to be different. Maybe a Halloween picture. :)

Well, I was writing colloquially---we both know the core isn't lead (I'm unsure lead was ever used for writing; I think 'lead pencil' comes from the paint, but it's common-speak to refer to the core as such).
If we want to be fancy, we shouldn't say 'sharpened' or 'unsharpened' (the latter isn't even a word). Instead, we should say 'pointed' and 'unpointed' (the latter here also isn't a word, but I'm gonna ignore that for fanciness). :3

Ok here's an interesting fact I didn't know but should have suspected, the actual LEAD in a lead pencil was in the PAINT that they used to coat the body. SO if you chewed a pencil made BEFORE 1978 which is when the USA outlawed using lead in paint you probably got some lead in your system. Fun Fun Fun! :D
So yeah no lead in the CORE but plenty of it in the PAINT on the body! ;D
