It's nothing complex and I probably won't get anyone to agree but I'll give it a try. I'm looking to do an outfit redesign for my sona but I don't have any cash. I'm just hoping to find an artist that's bored or wants practice and I might be able to pay you in some way other than direct cash (I dunno what but we can talk about it).

Anyways this is my sona now and I just want to a different outfit along with different weapons (AKA two glaives and a giant boomerang). The outfit mostly consisting of light tan cargo pants (kinda baggy) and a white and orange hoodie (like the base being white with orange short sleeve and some sort of other orange variations on it) with built in microphone type things in the hood to play music. Also a sort of sheath sling on my back to hold said boomerang. And no shoes. Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Anyways if someone does do this then awesome if not then ok.

Edit: Also I meant these glaives. The throwable kind that fold up. TIL there is another kind, go figure.

After chatting with a few dozen furries about league (and like 100 non-furries) I've come up with a pretty basic list of why people are in the divisions that they are in. I'm going to try to keep this as bare bones as possible. Feel free to add me for more details in game (DD DoubleDiamond).

1. Creep Score. The lower the division, the lower the average creep tends to be. Even players that "are a lot better than the division they are in" tend to have about the same CS as their peers.

2. Vision Control. At level 9, each player should have at least one ward up at any given moment. Supports should have 4. Jungles and mids should have 2 (a pink and a green). The lower the division, the less people follow these rules.

3. Awareness. The higher the division, the less likely people require MIAs to avoid ganks. They are also more likely to respond (quickly) to pings of "danger" or "careful." They respond more quickly to a fight that breaks out nearby. They change tactics more quickly based on the situation.

4. Correct Builds. The lower the division, the more often people deviate from the best item builds in the game.

I would say those four aspects alone define the difference between each ranked division in league. I've met people in bronze that play their champion like they are in diamond; while they struggle to CS and they don't even see the enemy jungler in their own wards.

Likewise, I've met people in diamond that play their champ like they are in bronze, but their cs, vision, and awareness are all amazing.

I believe a lot of people stagnate in their efforts to improve because they spend too much time "learning new champions" or "trying to be the best at Riven" etc. They fail to work on the basics and it shows in every match they play.

I have been looking for a long time and I can't, ever, seem to find an artist who is taking commissions. So I'm asking here. I am looking for an artist to draw my fursona, in color, and I'm looking to spend between 40-50 USD. Message me if you are interested.

Thank you,

Hey all! My husband doesn't have a reddit so he was hoping I'd post this here for him. He usually does humans, but would be most willing to try a fursona or two.

His deviantart is here and his pricing list is here.

Some of his work will be NSFW! :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Another Anthrocon article, from the website of CBS Pittsburgh:
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/07/02/furries-bring-fun-costumes-and-lots-of-revenue-to-pittsburgh/


PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A 6-foot fox in a hotel lobby. A tail on a luggage cart. The “Furries” are back.

Board chairman Dr. Samuel Conway says “Anthrocon” has 6,000 people of the furry persuasion. But what’s it all about?

“Why do people buy tickets to the Super Bowl?” he asks. “Why do people go fishing? It’s what they’re into. It relaxes them. It gets them through the day.”

They’re doctors, teachers and truck drivers, from 25 countries. The “Fox” is a weapons manufacturer.

“I think if my co-workers knew this is what I do, they’d take out a hunting permit on me,” he says.

The tourism group “Visit Pittsburgh” has hosted the Anthrocon convention for nine consecutive years.

“This has brought a total of $41 million to our economy,” says President and CEO Craig Davis. “Just this year alone: $7 million.”

Part of the tradition is lunchtime at Fernando’s.

“We like it. It’s so much fun. I wish they could come every year,” says co-owner Baris Budak.

“We take a furry picture with them,” his brother Ali says.

Furries like the “Tribal Tiger” like to make folks smile.

“There’s nothing that can compare to that emotion that you get inside, when you make someone feel that good,” he says.

Speaking of feeling good, Anthrocon conventions have raised 140 thousand dollars for Pittsburgh charities. This year’s choice: the National Aviary.

For more information on the Furries, visit http://www.anthrocon.org.

Here is another Anthrocon article dated July 2, on the website of WESA (90.5 FM), a Pittsburgh public radio and news radio station:
http://wesa.fm/post/it-s-time-year-furries-converge-downtown-pittsburgh-anthrocon-2014


The world’s largest furry convention is getting under way in downtown Pittsburgh. The convention for artists, animators, costumers, puppeteers and fans has called the Steel City home since 2006.

“By the time we’re finished with this particular convention, Anthrocon will have left $41 million of economic activity in the Pittsburgh region over the last nine years,” said Craig Davis, president and CEO of Visit Pittsburgh, the city’s convention and visitor’s bureau.

The gathering has grown each year. This year some 5,600 attendees are expected. Anthrocon Chairman and CEO Samuel Conway said all that’s needed to attend is a passion for animals.

“There’s no requirement to be a furry,” he said. “There’s not set type of person out there who thinks animals are cool – that’s a very universal thing. And you can see that in the faces at Anthrocon. You will see people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds. Last time I counted we have 25 countries represented here internationally.”

Conway said there is someone from every state but North Dakota in attendance. Some dress in full fur suits, some wear ears and/or a tail, others wear street clothes. Conway said furries cover all professions, including police officers, teachers and engineers.

Kazee, a wolf from New Hampshire, said when he’s not at Anthrocon, he works for a weapons manufacturing company.

“I have a lot of friends that come down here and visit this place, and I also get the opportunity to meet a lot of new people I don’t know, which in itself is rewarding,” Kazee said. “There are some people who find this uncomfortable, and that’s unfortunate because this is all about having fun. This is all about showing your colors.”

Anthrocon has raised more than $170,000 for charities since 1997. This year it is raising money for the National Aviary.

Anthrocon will go on through the weekend, with an indoor furry parade at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center on Saturday.

Bullying and hatred have long been part of society in general, and in turn, the fandom. It’s a hot “buzzword” in the media these days, but what exactly defines bullying? How have you been bullied? How is it different within and outside of the fandom? What can you do to overcome it?

Here is a brief article, dated July 2, on wpxi.com (the website of an NBC-affiliated television station located in Pittsburgh). It concerns the impending Anthrocon convention:
http://www.wpxi.com/news/news/local/furries-begin-arrive-pittsburgh-annual-anthrocon-c/ngXsd/


PITTSBURGH — The furries are once again beginning to arrive in downtown Pittsburgh for the annual Anthrocon Convention.

Anthrocon is the largest anthropomorphics convention in the world with membership in the thousands, according to the convention’s website.

The convention has been held in Pittsburgh since 2006. On average, the convention pumps nearly $7 million into the local economy.

Members call themselves “furries,” and the Anthrocon convention in Pittsburgh brings together thousands of devotees of anthropomorphics from all over the world.

The event includes workshops and seminars in acting, costume-building, animation, writing, art and design. It also hosts an extensive art show where the best in anthropomorphic artwork is offered for sale.

The convention begins Thursday and lasts through the weekend. This year the group plans to raise more for the National Aviary.

Hey furs! Ive been a furry for a little bit now and I've just kind of bounced around from place to place enjoying furry art wherever it comes up. I was wondering if you guys couldn't help me find some particularly good artists, streamers, or speed artists to help focus my spastic search methods. Thanks!
