This week’s illustration is from the art book and card set, Fire Dragons and Other Rare Ember Creatures, 

I’m at a loss on semi-furry celebrity artist Dave Smith’s kickstarter, “Cerebus Archive Number 2.” I am totally unclear on the concept, I do not even have a roadmap to the concept. I know what we are selling here–a 16-page portfolio. I do not know what we are raising money for.  Or how much is needed. $800 is needed, I think, or $40,000. The first kickstarter ran some time in May, and was successful–I guess? taking in $33,000 over its goal of $800., although actually the goal was $20,000, so we’re golden. Or not. I don’t know.

Apparently backers get a number, and that number is transferable. Which is good, I’ve backed a great many kickstarters and I haven’t gotten a number yet. So that’s a thing.

How much does he need? How much will he receive? What is the roadmap to success? Did we win? I think we won.

In six months the grim little aardvark has taken over $51,000 in Kickstarter pledges, which is kind of amazing on its own, but I have no…idea…what he actually wants. WHAT DO YOU WANT, AARDVARK?

Ahem. I’m a little sleep deprived and high on Dayquil. That’s my excuse.

Reviews this week: The beautiful illustrated Victorian/Indian mystery, The Unlucky Fox.

Luminous, animal/fantasy art illustration and book with gently surreal imagery.

Note Cards for a Happy Mailbox (Ends: 10/25/2014)
80s and 90s esque kitty cat lineart illustrations and postcards. Cute stuff, hard to describe!

The illustrated Victorian Englishfox in India adventures of a young fox unravelling a family mystery and conspiracy.

The Green Ember (Ends: 11/3/2014)
Illustrated “Redwall” esque children’s book–sword-carrying rabbits on a daring quest. Very pretty visuals!
Past its $10000 goal!

Children’s Products

Secret Agent 00K9 (Ends: 10/28/2014)
Sort of a weiner dog James Bond. The number of bad dog puns here is crazy over the top.

Corgi Tales Books (Ends: 10/29/2014)
Cute little corgies in an illlustrated educational series. C is ALWAYS for ‘Corgi.’

Major Nature: Guardian of the Great Woods Forest (Ends: 11/9/2014)

Comics/Graphic Novels

Cerebus Archive #2 (Ends: 10/25/2014)
An ongoing fundraising effort to raise money for the restoration and preservation of the CEREBUS 6,000 page graphic novel story.
I really, really, really don’t understand what this kickstarter is selling. Sorry. I assume fans of Cerebus the Aardvark will be able to figure it out.

Samurai Chef Print Edition (Ends: 10/27/2014)
Fighting manga monkey cooking comic action GO!
The mayamada.com label is an interesting one. It’s a combined manga/clothing brand. Of course tees with webcomic characters are not a unique concept, but it’s unusual to see the two ideas evolving together. Also, the leopard chef is kind of hot.

A Year of Questorverse (Ends: 12/3/2014)
The raccoony adventures of Quentyn Quinn–in SPAAACE (or in Hyrule possibly)
Not in love with this one, but it seems on topic. Pledge level just a bit high and going with the maximum pledge time on Kickstarter.

Costumes/Crafts

Fursuit Kit (Patent Pending) (Ends: 10/28/2014)
Simple, brightly-colored fursuit partial DIY kit.
The biggest flaw I see in this one is the illustration that shows what’s in the fursuit kit kind of highlights the lack of a need for a fursuit kit at the list price.

Fruitsuit Creations (No close date)
Capital funding for Fruitsuit Creations, a newish fursuiting company on gofundme.

Tabletop Games

Fire Dragons and Other Rare Creatures Book and Playing Cards (Ends: 10/31/2014)
Glowing gemlike illustrations of fantasy creatures in artbook and playing cards

One Night Ultimate Werewolf Daybreak (Ends: 11/28/2014)
New roles for Werewolf, with cute illustrations!
I cannot easily express how ‘done’ I am with Werewolf. But I do like the illustrations on this one.

Toys

Rio full color vinyl figure (Ends: 11/1/2014)
Collaboration between Michael Vega and Studio Cute: a 9″ figurine of Rio the Lion

Video Games

Wulves (Ends: 10/28/2014)
Super-cutesy training/breeding pet game filled with wolves. Ahem, Wulves.

…Meh

The Real World of the Dragoonies (Ends: 11/27/2014): What is a Dragoonie? You don’t want to know, and you probably don’t want your child exposed to them. They’re a bit like dragons, and a bit like “Grey” aliens, but mostly they’re like a “Good Job!” sticker in fifth grade art class.

…Just for fun

Megaman X the Movie (Ends: 11/1/2014): Nobody else has pledged for this one, but the middle-aged guy in a MegaMan costume is probably worth the price of admission. Also, fun with copyright infringement.
Kult of God Cutlery (Ends: 11/29/2014): This is silly, but I’m loving it: over-the-top, decadent fantasy cutlery knives and forks for eating like you’re on an album cover.

I'm new to the whole furry thing, and I like the idea of RPing in fursuit, but the ones I've seen seem to bulky and artificial. Are there any more skin-tight and natural?

I would like to try to make a furry game using Unreal Engine 4, but I have been thinking and don't really know what kind of gameplay would be best for a furry game.

I have though that maybe you could be in a mansions and have to solve some mistery or something like that, but then also one could make a plataformer game where you control different characters.

Do you have some ideas for furry games?

I'm after some (wolfy) contact lenses for Halloween. Any recommendations (or counter-recommendations) for a US-based supplier?

I can wear contacts and have an up-to-date eye exam and prescription to prove it...

Hi! My name is Josh, and I am a fifteen year old boy turn recently discovered furry! I am a silver fox, and would love little more than to have a few furry buddies who I can relate to. I use almost every messenger out there, including kik, Skype, and many others. Interested? Shoot a pm at me and I would love to give you my usernames. :3 thanks.

October’s Book of the Month is edited by FWG member Ianus J. Wolf and includes stories from members Ocean Tigrox, Bill “Hafoc” Rogers, Renee Carter Hall, Tarl “Voice” Hoch, Roland Jovaik, and Huskyteer.

“Keep your dials tuned as we join the RVO Radio Theatre for adventure, mystery, and danger!  Dive deep into the jungles of South America where the temple’s gift may not bring what you wish in The Ruins.  Then, jump to the Wild West of America as a badger determines who is the predator and who is Prey.  But don’t go too far as a group of intrepid Army Rangers battle a foreign threat to America more dangerous than the evil mastermind’s ‘robots’ in Rocket Canyon. And this next tale of an Aussie gal with a heart of gold and fists of iron battles the Nazis in The Bouncer and the Didgeridoo of Awakening. And join our poster girl, the rough and tumble Tesla Mae and the Lost Tribe. Don’t take too long to dock your airship, because evil cultists are trying to destroy Boston in Jericho Tanner and the Ebon Star. Find out who is the destroyer of worlds and who is the fox that can save us all in Savior.  And finally wrap it all up with a trip across the pond and the high flying aces in Flight of the Fire Dragon! Stay tuned, listeners, for more adventure!”

Featuring stories from:

• Tym Greene
• Ocean Tigrox
• Bill “Hafoc” Rogers
• T.S. McNally
• Renee Carter Hall

Good evening everyone :)

I'd like to request your help. A few years ago, I stumbled upon an image on deviantart and fell in love with it. I'd never seen anything like it before (I was a sheltered child) and this picture was the start to me becoming a furry.

Now here is my problem, I cannot find the artist. If anyone knows who the artist is or even similar art, I'd greatly appreciate it.

This is the picture

Also, long time lurker first time poster. If this should be posted somewhere else, please let me know.
