Two Dogs and a Dead Rabbit

In-Fur-Nation - Mon 9 Feb 2015 - 02:57

Kade and Nicole are a pair of canine siblings — he likes to play video games, she likes to read. They both find plenty of opportunity to do both in a stately home known as Savestate… and, they also find a rather malevolent (if not very powerful) ghost rabbit. (Nicole names him Harvey, of course.) How are they to explain the undead presence to their reptilian friend Rick? That’s the start of things in Savestate, a new full-color on-line comic strip written and illustrated by Tim Weeks. Catch up with it over on his web site, or check out the Comic Chameleon app to download the comic to your mobile device.

[Rant] I don't feel like it's worth being in the fandom if I'm not an artist.

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 23:18

Every furry I've ever encountered (including myself) has attempted some form or another of art. The problem is, I know more people who DO draw than don't, and everyone I know just seems so passionate about it, like everything is going perfectly for them and they're so talented. Why can't I do something like that and feel like I have a purpose in this fandom? It's like I'm a leech and all I do is pretend to be good at things even though I've never once contributed anything original to the furry fandom. Even making my character, almost every single piece of art of him was drawn out of the kindness of people's hearts just because they wanted to draw him. Fuck, I just want to feel like I belong here... That's all I've wanted for a few years now. I've lurked for even longer. Is there anyone else on this planet who's a furry but is not an artist?

Thanks, everyone

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 23:07

I've been in kind of a bad place for a few months now. I'm always tired, stressed, and overworked. I go to bed mostly because I'm just fed up with dealing with everything, not because I'm physically tired. Along with that, my relationship is going downhill.

Anyway, I come on here and you guys make me feel Safe. At the very least, you give me a little happy break from everything. It wouldn't be near as nice if the community weren't so kind and accepting. Thank you for another small joy in my life.

I need hugs right now

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 23:01

I need floofy internet hugs right now. I'm also looking to just chat with people. Hope I don't sound like a hugslut.

Edit: All of you people are amazing, thank you so much.

Been lurking around this sub for a few days now. Just figured I'd come out of the woods and introduce myself~

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 22:31

Hello, everyone!

I'm your friendly, neighborhood, cybernetically augmented wolf. I am 23 years old and fresh out of college. I earned a BFA with a concentration in sculpture and ceramic art (I also do screen/relief printing and draw a bit, too).

Never really introduced myself in the furry community before. Been a bit timid and shy in the past, but I'd like to be a part of the community and maybe make some new friends along the way.

So again- Hello! waves frantically like an idiot

Met some furries in public, actually talked to them, everything went better than expected.

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 21:17

First off, hi, I'm mawaty, long time lurker. Been a furry for a while now, but I've never been a part of the community.

Anyway, yesterday I drove my sister down to the local mall to meet a friend. I decided to hang around, grab an rp card and some food, and chill in the food court until I had to drive my sister and myself home. As I'm standing in line for food, I notice something I wouldn't have expected to see in the middle of a food court. A red (fox?) fursuit head! Of course, I get excited, and I head over to say hey. After some pretty awkward introductions, I discover that about four of the rather large group are furries. The group as a whole were all pretty cool, but I was taken away by how inviting and awesome these guys were. My first real interaction with any furry, and it went much better than I could've imagined.

Rory, Booker, and all the other guys, (if you guys are even on reddit haha) thanks for being so accepting. You guys made my day. :3

Hey y'all! Any room for..

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 21:16

... a self-termed 'furhag'?

Yes, I know that sounds a tad ugly, but let me explain! I'm somewhat still a bit newish to Reddit; long time lurker, but finally decided to see the world past the Front Page. What brings me here, though? I'll try to keep it short(ish); I like to chat, so forgive me if I ramble.

Anyway, I had been informed that I really don't 'exist'. What I mean by that is during a conversation I had with a friend who is a furry, is that as I have friends and tend to gravitate to those who are furries, I enjoy furry art (most art that is.. I've come across some that had me headtilting like o_O, but then again, to each their own), and just learning about fursonas and all, that it means that I myself have to be a closeted furry. I don't think that is true. I'm the one who responded that I was a furhag (mainly cause I'm an older woman), I'm quite sure I do not have a fursona. I have gone to many conventions, and I tend to go pretty much all Elmira over furries I run into, and, yes, I have been in a cuddle pile or two and the warm fuzzies lasted for hours after (I'm a cuddler anyway, so..)

But does that make me an -oh dear- unicorn? That I am a latent furry? Or is it true that there are others like me, who don't just simply 'tolerate' furries, but actually enjoy celebrating and supporting them?

The downside to not being artistic in this fandom (general rant)

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 Feb 2015 - 19:55

As in, not artistically minded whatsoever.

Someone's been working on my reference sheet for the last month. Before making the request, I made sure to have a bunch of sample art of what I was looking for, but I knew that since this was being made from scratch, it was going to be annoying for me to visualize, and therefore annoying for them to draw.

I think I've pushed their patience too much though.

The proof-of-concept sketch was surprisingly great. Just a few fixes regarding structure, and things would be looking good. I tried my best to describe those fixes, and they came back with another sketch. Well, not quite what I expected given what I said. Or, maybe I'm not envisioning things right myself.

Anyway, they asked for an A-OK from me for the front, and while I still felt something was off with the hand and feet, I couldn't visualize the corrections to be made to say no. The back view came in, and I wasn't really pleased with the tail. Again, having a hard time visualizing what would look better, so I gave general feedback. It turned out well, but I started to sense some frustration.

Today they were working on colour. Have I made it clear that I have no fucking artistic sense of mind? I gave a general colour to work on, no patterns to work with, just general guidelines. And I continued to feel like shit for leading them in a direction I eventually found I didn't want them to go.

I know reference sheets are supposed to be frustrating. But I feel like the process got a whole lot more fucking complicated when I started to interject. I mean, I feel really bad, but at the same time, I keep telling myself that if I'm not satisfied with this, it'll be a waste of time for both of us (and a waste of money on my end). I wish I could draw out what I wanted and hand it to them instead of expecting that they guess properly what I want. But it doesn't work like that.

Now that I've written this much, I feel like I'm circling around the point. I feel like this lack of creativity inherent to my head is just going to be cumbersome as long as I commission stuff. And that just zaps the fun out of all of this.

Sorry, now this post feels stupid. Just needed to write my thoughts out.

EDIT: Also, in addition to this: I have massive respect for the work they've done and what they've put up with so far, but I feel like that's not coming across. I'm really excited to see the end result when all is said and done, I just wish it was less arduous.
