What other (non-art) furry websites do you visit?

Furry Reddit - Tue 26 Aug 2014 - 21:32

I'm putting together a list of lesser-known furry websites for a panel at Furry Migration in a few weeks. Reddit's /r/furry will be included, but what other ones would you recommend? Even sites that you check occasionally, every 3-4 weeks? My personal faves:

And podcasts:

I REALLY wanna get into drawing.. Does anyone want their fursona drawn for free?

Furry Reddit - Tue 26 Aug 2014 - 13:26

Okay so, I have very VERY little experience drawing (Especially bodies), and I don't wanna draw anything directly from a video game or from a cartoon and such.. So for practice, I thought "Hey, why not draw people's fursonas for free?". I'm not guaranteeing any omega beautiful shiny sparkly art that artists like Falvie or Fluff-Kevlar do (Don't expect anything close :p), I just wanna practice a bit. I mainly wanna practice on heads first, but I'll draw the body too if I'm feeling confident enough :P.

EDIT: If you do want one drawn for you, I don't know exactly when they will be done and how long each will take. So please be patient!

ANOTHER EDIT: I'll start by drawing your character's face (Like for a profile picture). I'll move onto the body if I get the time.

YET ANOTHER EDIT: After playing around with MydasThrown's character Sashimi both with pencil+paper then translating it to PaintTool SAI.. I've decided, I'll do some sketch only, play around with some both with a sketch and PaintTool SAI and experiment with how I go about drawing it. Also, some characters I might do a frontal view, a side view, or maybe a view from an angle.. Who knows? Maybe even the entire body. It will all come to if I'm up to the challenge or not at the time, but I really do wanna get to most of your fursonas!

DEAR GOD HOW MANY EDITS: A couple of examples of side views I've done before http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14377563/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9036561/

Using Other People's Art, and Dress Codes in School and Public Places

Ask Papabear - Tue 26 Aug 2014 - 11:37
Hello, Papa Bear. 

I'm impressed that someone from this subculture has taken up such a supportive role in the community.

My question is one of public display of our art, and of my own appearance. Firstly, in the legality of the matter, and secondly, one of tact.

Firstly, I carry a notebook with print-outs of art from certain furry artists I'm fond of, in the covers. These are not commissions, just works I've liked that I display on printer or photo paper. Call it a bit of security blanket.

While I'm not distributing these images, or doing anything deliberately criminal, I'm a little nervous about representing myself as a furry with other people's art. However, I have a bad past with art, and never learned to draw, myself. I'm not trying to be an art thief, and I understand that's a problem in the community. Is what I'm doing ... okay?

Secondly, I am experimenting in theater makeup, and am deliberating on a drag-analogy to fursuiting (latex prosthetics/makeup, with regular human clothing).

My question, if you can answer, would be; is this something I can do on a casual basis, without repercussions from school authority, for being disruptive? What about wearing such disguises in a public place (Wal-Mart, Gas Stations, Drive-Thru's, etc.)?

Hi, Kimono,

Please note that I do ask people to limit their letters to one question. However, I’ll make this fairly brief to save time.

First answer: It’s fine what you’re doing with the art. As long as you’re not representing the art as your own, and as long as you are not selling it or otherwise profiting from it, you’re okay legally. Even better if you make sure the artists’ names are clearly seen on the art. So, don’t worry about it. But, if you really wish to ease your mind, write to the artists and ask if it’s okay. They’ll probably say it is, given the circumstances, and it is very common for furries to print out art by their favorite artists, or to display it on their computers.

Second answer: You would have to check with your school about dress codes, but I highly doubt such fashion would be smiled upon by your school administrators. As for other public places, especially given that you’re in North Carolina, a rather conservative part of the country, I would be careful. It wouldn’t be illegal (as long as your face is not covered), but I think you would get a lot of disapproving looks; you might even get beat up. Although, not sure about Walmart, since I’ve seen pictures of some awfully funky outfits there. Try Walmart first LOL.

But, seriously, in your state of North Carolina, anti-mask laws were developed as a reaction to the KKK. However, they are still on the books and have been used in other cases. The laws state: §14-12.7. Wearing of masks, hoods, etc., on public ways.
No person or persons at least 16 years of age shall, while wearing any mask, hood or device whereby the person, face or voice is disguised so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter, be or appear upon any lane, walkway, alley, street, road, highway or other public way in this State. (1953, c. 1193, s. 6; 1983, c. 175, ss. 1, 10; c. 720, s. 4.)

§14-12.8. Wearing of masks, hoods, etc., on public property.
No person or persons shall in this State, while wearing any mask, hood or device whereby the person, face or voice is disguised so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter, or appear upon or within the public property of any municipality or county of the State, or of the State of North Carolina. (1953, c. 1193, s. 7.) So be cautious in this area. And, again, you get a lot of derps out there just looking for an excuse to beat up people who are “different,” so don’t set yourself up for such a possibility unless you are well-prepared to defend yourself.

Hugs,

Papabear

Not to sound rude, but... (Fursona related)

Furry Reddit - Tue 26 Aug 2014 - 10:11

What's the deal with people making their fursonas like... not mirror them at all? When I came into the fandom, I designed my fursona to look like me, while I did pretty it up a bit (specifically clothing, since I had free reign there and certain shirts/coats you literally can't find IRL) it remained rather true to myself. And the things that weren't slowly did turn true to myself (It had blue streaks in their hair, now I do too.)

It's just kinda strange to me when I see someone with an athletic, hip fursona (Ear gauges, tattoos, etc.) and they look... well, normal. I'm not going to say they're ugly, because most furries really aren't. They just look normal, like the average joe. I mean, a fursona is supposed to be you, who you are. I guess it could be argued that's how they want to look, but why is it then, even after having one for years, they tend to not try to look like it? I'm not even talking physical fitness but general aesthetic. Someone designs a scene-esque fursona and they look like a white collar worker. I really don't get the whole thing there.

[TomT] A Dutch childrens tv-show about a tiger and a bear living in a Huifkar

Furry Reddit - Tue 26 Aug 2014 - 09:27

So this is a complete longshot. I've been trying to find the name of this show but the internet doesn't remember it. I hope maybe some Dutch furries do; it must have sparked something in them. There was this Dutch TV show that was broadcast in the 90's on Nederland 1 or 3 with 2 people in a tiger and bear costume that lived in a huifkar. I've been trying for ages to remember what the name of the show was. The only other thing about the show I remember is that one episode revolved around tiger and bear waiting for a letter.

I can't find anything online about this show, it almost seems like it doesn't exist. Does any Dutchman here remember it and maybe know the name?
