Let me draw your toon?
I'm kinda frustrated with my art right now, so I'm looking to draw a couple peoples' toons. Please don't be upset if you don't get chosen - there will be plenty more opportunities! Just post your ref and a personality. (:

25 Years of Furry Conventions
Recently your humble ed-otter and his mate, Sy Sable, put up on YouTube a recording of the presentation they did at Further Confusion 2014 (in San Jose, California) celebrating 25 years of furry fandom conventions. That’s right, 25 years ago (well, 26 now!) in January of 1989 the very first furry-themed fan convention and seminar, ConFurence Zero, took place at a little Holiday Inn located in Costa Mesa, California, with a membership of just under 100 and an actual attendance of 65. At Further Confusion last year the co-directors of the original run of ConFurence (Mark and Rodney, sable and mink) lead a well-attended discussion about the early furry cons, how ConFurence came about, and where they’ve been since then. Afterwards, Changa Lion (of Furry.Today) went about creating a slide show and video sampler to go along with the recording of the discussion — and now, it’s available up on YouTube. Have a look — and learn some furry history.
So, do y'all have pets?
And has your pet influenced your sona in any way?
Bonus points if you post pics! :D

New here! Hello/Intro and doing freebies/requests/trades
Hey guys!
I've always been into the furry fandom especially during high school, but I kind of stopped after I figured that no one around me really shared the same interest. I'm currently in college studying graphic design and illustration and the furry fandom was a huge part of my life that got me into art, so I'm really grateful for that. I've joined FA recently but I really don't know how to interact with people there so it's been kinda meh.
My sona is a weirdass tall annoying dog/jackal/whatever. Call me splotch, sploggs or sploggles, whichever works! I kinda made him up on the spot as a joke but he really grew on me. I'm working on a reference sheet but I can't get his awkward body right zz.

I kinda dropped drawing furries back in 10th grade due to finding out the stereotypes of the fandom and kinda felt embarrassed about it due to having no one around me with similar interests, but I recently started picking it up again. It's something that I really enjoy drawing and drawing things that I enjoy really helps me improve a lot so I believe I'm making the right choice (also, lurking around furry art and not drawing any of my own gets irritating heh).
Currently, I still don't know anyone personally in the furry fandom and I think that I'm over the threshold where it's easier for me to make friends since I tend to overthink everything now, but I'm still hoping to meet new people and actually have someone to talk about furry shz. It's kind of sad drawing things that I really can't share with any of my friends actually, haha. I guess I'm pretty friendly though (I swear swear a whole fucking lot).
That pretty much covers it. Right now, I'm doing freebies in hopes of getting enough experience in order to hopefully take commissions in the future. I'm all up for trades, but if you just want to request that's perfectly fine with me!
I have an FA here: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sploggs/
And you can leave a request either here or on my request journal on FA which you can find here
There's not really much in there but take a look if you want to!
I would prefer the reference to be posted on my FA journal for convenience's sake, but whatever floats your boat! (also some people might not have an FA so yeah). I can't promise that these will come out quickly since I'm juggling school work and there's no particular order, but I really like having a queue so I can just hop in and pick something to work on. There's also no order really since I just go with the flow with my personal bias so yeahhhh.
andd I don't really know what else to say right now, heh. I just really want to get myself more into the fandom that I absolutely love. I enjoy all parts of it!
Oh yeah my roomates/housemates constantly rip on furries, but little do they know there's one lurking among them, so that's kind of funny.
Nice to be here!
TLDR: i'm a prick

Finished the first drawing for my sona's Ref Sheet! Meet Kayno the WolfDragon. Now I only have 3 or more drawings to go!
FA DDOS
So it looks like FA's been DDOS'ed again. I just checked there roughly 10 minutes ago (so about 6:50 pfc) and the admins have announced FA's been DDOS'ed.
Wonder who they made mad this time.

Had to share Cryptid-Creations daily deviation with you guys because it is way too cute - Garfield's First Lasagna. Worth a watch on DA for sure!
Need Reference sheet.
Hello I'm in need of a reference sheet for my fursona. Looking for somone willing to do it for free, I know it's how you guys make your money but I don't really have Anything to spend on art so I figured it was worth a shot.

FA down for anyone else?
FA is down for me, I checked on isitdown.com and it said it was up. Is this happening to anyone else?
