Hey! I'm looking to get a new Icon for steam, and stuff. Anyone got any good artist recommendations?

I'm not sure if this is just me but whenever I'm showing a friend or a parent furry pictures (ie Fursuits or Anthro art (NEVER NSFW Are you MAD)) I just get so nervous about them saying something horrible. The thing is, online, I expect people to hate on it and that doesn't really bother me. But I'm so nervous that in real life they'll laugh or say its stupid I start to stress. I've only told 2 people I'm a furry, my Mother and a very close friend. My friend didn't say much but reacted normally. My mother said it was weird. That's it, just weird. But I still feel so upset by that, which is funny because of the crap I hear online, the word Weird got to me. I even acknowledge it's very weird, especially to people looking in from the outside. The way I told her was by showing her FoxAlbiazul's videos about his pet fox Ronron. Then on the suggested videos next to it it'd show his suit, and then I talked to her about what it was. She really doesn't know what furries are, but I've got a brother super hateful about them. Saying how they're all pedo's that want to R*pe animals (Not sure I can say that with it being SFW). So I'm just scared to find out what she thinks a furry is, if she believed the crap he spewed. I even bought a collar (Just a regular black dog collar) months ago, but I probably won't wear it while I'm living here since, My brother would just go nuts (I never plan to tell him, he's a real life internet troll) and I'm worried my mom would laugh at me. Anyone have any advice? Sorry for the long post.

TL;DR - I'm very Shy about people knowing I'm a furry and expressing it, (ie Wearing a collar) I get nervous talking about it and I'm looking for advice.

I've heard both sides of the subject on fursuiting at anime conventions and comic cons. Some think it's cringy, yet others love the subject.

What are all of your thoughts, /r/furry?

I am a furry looking for some commissions. Anyone draw by hand still? I need 2 chars and I am willing to pay! Money :p

Thanks!

I'm pretty new to the fandom, and I'm going to be going to my first con tomorrow--hopefully. I want to purchase a 1 day pass for Anthro New England. Since I have no idea what I'm doing, I was hoping some of you might have some answers to my questions.

1. What are the chances that I'll be able to get a day pass at the door? Are they likely to run out?

2. The website's schedule says that registration opens at 10 AM. Should I be there at 10, or is it better to get there early? How early should I be there?

3. How much spare cash should I bring with me minimum? I don't plan on buying any expensive things in the dealers den this time around. I'm mostly worried about food.

4. I'm going on my own, so are there any convention safety rules I should follow?

5. Tips on interacting with fursuiters? I know those things are hard to move in, and I don't want to accidentally hurt them or make them uncomfortable.

6. Anything else I should know about going in?

Thanks for any and all advice you can give me. :D

Who all is going to ACen and then MFF in Chicago this year? I'll be going with a group of friends and it would be cool to see some people who like both!

I love seeing all the art people have done, and since I have been a fan of furry art for a while, I thought I'd finally start getting into doing my own art! I am more a pencil and paper guy, and I have only been practicing line work by recreating other's drawings, so I don't have any pictures now. I will hopefully start making original work soon and begin sharing it once I build up some confidence.

I have heard a lot of good things about the community being super nice and welcoming, so I would like to get involved in that as well. I am new to this sub (and the community as a whole) so I could sure use help getting started and such. If ya'll have any questions for me, I am more than happy to ask as I love answering questions!
