…Da bears
I was pretty sure that this week’s main post was going to be about bears.
In fact, I kind of thought it would be about “Bear Senpai” (Kickstarter ending 10/9/14), which has the potential to be a really good joke–a bear dating sim, where you flirt with, say, polar bears. But it looks like it isn’t going to lift itself above “pretty good joke” into actual fundraising territory.
And then, “Witanlore.”
Witanlore
Kickstarter ending 9/7/14
Witanlore has the potential to be one of the prettiest games I’ve seen on Kickstarter in a long time. It’s driven by Unreal4, so unlike a lot of the recent “develop this entire video game from the ground up” crowdfunders, this one’s got a firm starting position, working with a well-supported platform instead of building from scratch. Hopefully Witanlore can emerge from development looking fresh instead of derivative–the concept art looks pretty exceptional, anthropomorphic bears with tribal markings and costumes, rich backgrounds, stoic polar bears, mystic-warrior grizzlies, pandas so zen they may have smoked something illegal, and what looks like a steampunk zombie wolf.
All video games released past 2015 are required to use steampunk zombie wolves in some capacity, for proper meme compliance.
Plot in brief: You are a young Ursine, just on the brink of adulthood. Traditionally, all Ursines go on their visionquest, a fairly cut-and-dried operation–fast for a few days, if you’re a panda smoke more of whatever you’ve been smoking, and then go off into the Dreamtime spirit world, meet your god–not GOD, but your tribal house god–get a few useful pieces of helpful life advice, come back, everybody has a big seafood dinner. This time, however–you ARE the lead character in a video game–your divine program guide is interrupted by visions of a shadowy, malevolent figure (hint: steampunk zombie wolf), an ancient mcguffin, threats to clan and home…all that good stuff. After that, journey of exploration, deep dives into tribal history, fighting against prophecy, and possibly looking beyond the little island the Ursines call home.
And you look pretty damn awesome doing it.
Looking at the kickstarter itself, one major point going in its favor: instead of bankrolling the entire game, Druid Gameworks is focusing their campaign on: art, specifically freelance artists for character and concept art (which I guess is most of the art besides landscape…) With a limited scope to the campaign they can have an attainable goal of $9000–it doesn’t preclude higher goals, but it gives a smaller number that supporters can feel confident in backing. (On the other hand, the rewards lack a certain special sparkle–mostly standard swag and game access. The tee at the highest possible level of support seems just a bit “an hour in the ball pit” to this dog….unless it’s a really good tee.)
Now, if we’re done BEING bears, maybe we can read about them.
Bear Book
Kickstarter ending 10/9/14
I don’t really have a whole lot to say about Bear Book except the screamingly, “read the Kickstarter” obvious. Written by Gloria Bowen and illustrated by Kris Lewis (AKA “Mythmeoi“), a Disney-esque illustrator with a great sense for motion, wildlife, and disgusting cuteness, Bear Book is a children’s rhyming book loaded with bears from around the world. If you want cute, and if you love bears, there is no shortage of either in Bowen’s project.
This should be illegal.
The kickstarter’s standard for a children’s book launch–though it does something that I think you couldn’t do until Kickstarter2.0, which is giving product away to a good cause–the highest pledge levels ($100, $350) are more about giving the book away rather than cool swag, sending copies to libraries, community centers, and so on. It’s nice to see a little bit of outreach in crowdfundingland!
Overall this project is short, simple, and self-explanatory, but the video’s worth a view for the absolute, unadulturated cuteness of the thing. Unfortunately there’s not a lot about the language of the book on the project page, but the artwork has a lot of heart.

I've created a new subreddit: FurryMates
Hey all. It's been a long time coming and well, I wanted to fill a niche that I believe existed on reddit.
I myself, among others I am very sure, do not currently have a mate. Some (like me) are introverts and don't really get out much to get ourselves out there. Others are too shy, or too nervous. Others are just bad at meeting people!
I created this subreddit to hopefully provide others with a place to meet other furs. Whether you go to the subreddit to meet a mate, or just a friend, it does not matter!
I JUST created this subreddit. I need a few mods, and more importantly someone that can design the subreddit's style, as of right now it is rather bland. Also, I need someone that has generally better design ideas and knows how to do flairs, etc . Please PM me if you are interested in any of the above.
Please head on over to r/FurryMates and help yourselves to what hopefully will be a decent subreddit.

Like Rocket Raccoon? Want to get into the comics? Here's where to start!
I don't know about you guys, but as soon as I saw Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters, I wanted to know more about the team - and especially Rocket! But most of the advice out there has you buying $300+ worth of comics to get all manner of back story, and most of it doesn't even include Rocket.
I've pieced together which issues to read to get the most Rocket for your buck. Now I'm sharing it with all of you.
The links below go to the digital versions of the comics. If you have a local comic book store, I think it would be great if you supported that local business by getting the paper versions from them. Otherwise, I've linked to Comixology, who runs Marvel's online store. You can buy individual issues, or trades / collections (generally 5-8 issues in one book), or bundle deals. Check pricing to see what the best deal is.
The best way to save money is with Marvel Unlimited. For $10/month, or $70/year, you get access to pretty much everything Marvel makes that's more than 6 months old. So you won't get the 2014 Rocket Raccoon series listed below, but they should have everything else. There's $87 worth of comics listed below, so it's a deal. The only caveat is the mobile app is really bad. Not unusable, but a bit frustrating.
Finally, there are (as with anything else digital) a torrent of other ways to obtain these comics. If you want to send a message to Marvel that we want more Rocket, please obtain them legitimately.
Now on with the reading list!
Single Issues: Rocket Raccoon
These are self contained, single-issue stories about Rocket. Two are being given away for free. You can read these independent of anything else.
- FREE! FCBD: Rocket Raccoon
- FREE! Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite #2
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Galaxy's Most Wanted #1
Rocket Raccoon and Groot Ultimate Collection
Chronologically, this is where to start. This contains a bunch of different comics, including Groot's first appearance in Tales to Astonish from 1959, and Rocket's cameo in an Incredible Hulk issue in 1968. There's also his first dedicated Rocket Raccoon comic run from 1985, and his appearances in Annihilators (which takes place after the 2008 GotG above).
Stop reading this when you get to Annihilators, if you plan on reading the 2008 GotG run. Pick it back up afterwards.
Annihilation: Conquest (Optional)
These two story lines add some very useful back story for the Guardians. You'll have a better idea of what's happening at the start of the 2008 GotG run if you read these first, but they aren't essential for understanding the story. Rocket is in both of the series below.
Besides these two, there is also a prologue issue, and character series for Quasar and Wraith which you can read before the plain A:C, if you want.
- Annihilation: Conquest - Star Lord - 4 issues
- Annihilation: Conquest - 6 issues
Guardians of the Galaxy 2008
This series is generally regarded as the best Guardians run. It's written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning who are a well-respected team (though unfortunately they've just split up).
After reading this, go back to the Ultimate Collection and read the Annihilators stories.
Annihilators and Annihilators: Earthfall
If you're going to read these, just buy the Rocket and Groot Ultimate Collection. These will cost you about $16, the Ultimate Collection includes way more stuff and costs $15.
Rocket Raccoon (2014)
This series just started. If you like Rocket in the movie, you'll probably like this comic. Currently on issue #2, next one is due beginning of September.
You can probably save money by waiting for a trade, but I wouldn't expect a trade to come out for another 4-5 months.

>TFW-no-computer-requests
Reddit exclusive!
I promised I'd do requests as soon as I'd get my laptop fixed new laptop (not paying 600$ for laptop life support, nice try Staples). Turns out it takes longer than expected to deliver so fukkit...
Might as well try traditional in the meantime.
Boredom-inspired enthusiasm! :D
I promise to do at least 4 (No first come first serve, literally Hitler), but consider this thread dead in 2 weeks. When I receive my computer I'll upload scans instead of pictures if not already done and start a digital request thread unless uni is actually time consuming.
Must be SFW.
Clothed unless asked otherwise. Loony toons nudity to be expected.
No funny business unless it's funny.
No ref needed. Any relevant image/description is appreciated.
Will not do refs (grab your lunch money and commission a real artist bro, cuz these are hard as rock-hard tits to do) and pls have low expectations so I can make you happier more easily.
I DESPISE YOUR "CONSTRUCTIVE" FEEDBACK! /S
Here's the mostish recent traditional stuff I did. Also, leftover free adopts WYSIWYG Will upload latest (chibi) later today. EDIT: Link to chibi
I may: Cartoon, Chibi-toon, Grayscale, Color, Shade, whathaveyou, try, fuck up (I rarely go pen and paper, but I'll do my best!).
Don't be vague, I'll seize my artistic freedom myself whether you like it or not. MWHAHAHA. (Will provide concept thingy or sketch and ask for a go via PM).
Ask away.
