Please help. How do I explain to my SO Furries aren't bad people?
So I've always thought that being a furry was cool, even before I knew what it was. I only discovered the online furry community a few months ago and I love it. However, the person I'm with (which I love with all my heart) hates furries. Any advice how to break it to him gently? I know he wouldn't hide things from me, so I don't want to hide this from him.

LF Portland and Seattle furry groups
I'm looking to contact people within the Portland and the Seattle area furry groups. I'd like to know more about the area, the furry community there, etc.
Anyone that visits here have that info? Yeah, I could google it, but not everything is easy to find through google, and the higher results aren't always the active communities. :3 Thanks.

Taking some NSFW requests!
Hey, there! I'm looking to expand my artistic palette, both in content and style, so I'm taking requests (again). The only requirement is that these must be NSFW.
I have one example so far, which can be found here (NSFW): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13855977/
I'm aware that it's only tasteful nudity, which is why I need your help. I would appreciate it if you could give me pose descriptions on what you'd like, since for some reason, I'm useless at coming up with interesting poses. The sexier the better!
I know it might be awkward for some to do this on a public forum, but please don't PM me requests. It makes it difficult for me to keep track of things.
I think that's it. Post an image of your character, or a detailed description, with a specific pose you have in mind. I will do two characters, but no more than that, please.
Thank you for helping me out! :)

Looking for a Furry...Comic Noir Style Artist
I think the title kind of says it all, but I am hunting for a Furry artist who can do a...for lack of better term 'Comic Noir' style for a two panel comic style commission.
Now, to explain what I mean by 'Comic Noir', I mean hard edged shadows, darker colors...closest thing I can compare it to would be 'Sin City' or 'Max Payne'.
The commission would be two 'panels', in reality a front/back shot of a particular scene. Main subject would be Nyeusi Kifo, a hired killer, who is a panther. Lots of fine detail, down to concealed knives, specific guns in holsters, etc.
Up for it, or know someone who would fit the bill? Let me know (Bonus points for traditional artist, in other words non-digital).

Trying to meet new furs
So, I've been a furry for a while now, but I can't really find other furrys to have actually relations with. I'm not talking boyfriend girlfriend stuff here. I mean close friends and stuff. Are there any chat groups or things I could use to meet some other furrys or what?

Furfunding Week in Review 6-29-14
Today’s illustration is from the Indiegogo campaign “Doberfrau” by Claudia Bacco
I had a friendly email from Claudia Bacco, one of the photographers of the “Doberfrau” photography campaign, asking for a little callout. Happy to oblige, I really like her retro-pop aesthetic, the colors of the 80s and the dobermans of today. Thanks for sharing these images, Claudia!
Anthrocon this week, looking forward to that brand of chaos, my first megaconvention. Keep an eye out for me, I’ll be at the Kaze retrospective event on Friday and generally milling around the rest of the time, look for a green shirt and tie and black jacket. Say hi if you have a second!
Friday the 4th–the Kaze Retrospective panel–is the launch of Kaze: Ghost Warrior’s next chapter, the new incarnation of the 2004 animated “Kaze” film by Amadhia Albee. I’m working with her on her Kickstarter launch, dealing for the first time with the issues in an actual Kickstarter campaign (and working with another artist…) More about this project on Friday, and I’ll be sure to post a “project in review” in the Resources section. Come if you can, Amadhia’s an amazingly talented person in a wide number of fields.
Just two mini-reviews this week, I’m going to return to my goal of two or three blog posts a week after August when the campaign is over. So until AC, here’s a quick look at a few video games–not vouching for both of them, one’s a bit weak, but the concept art is good for a look.
See you in Pittsburgh! -Corbeau
Reviews
New Projects
For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page and Patreon Page!
Art/PhotographyLupyroo’s Startup (Ends: 6/16/2014)
Lupeyroo‘s badge commission startup
I’m really not a fan of this project. If you can’t get commissions on FA, you’re NOT going to do any better on Kickstarter. Crowdfunding is for projects, not commissions. Okay, I’ve said it.
How to Become Horsefamous (Ends: 7/11/2014)
Horse-famous, if you don’t know, is the tongue-in-cheek Brony version of “popufur.” This is kind of the pony version of bad-furry.
Cute, but the project is a little unclear and weak on professionalism–not surprising, given the subject matter, but not a confidence builder either.
The Future Is Cute (Ends: 7/25/2014)
Kawaii little critters explain science, economics, and the world in general. And they’re cute while doing it.
The typography of this project doesn’t match the project or its tone well, it’s cute but doesn’t seem to be making progress in funding.
Hokey Bear Storytelling Project (Ends: 7/27/2014)
Surreal bear-human multimedia strangeness and experimental storytelling from deep in the woods and the subconscious.
Strange stuff. Arguably spawned in the same section of the brain as furry, but expressed in a deeply right-brain way…
The Moribund Mouse (Ends: 7/21/2014)
Second of a “children’s books for adults” series, after “The Existential Giraffe,” about a mouse who goes YOLO after receiving unexpected bad news…
Without My Coffee (Ends: 7/23/2014)
Parents are MONSTERS without their coffee, as this book illustrates.
The Bristowl (Ends: 7/25/2014)
Por quois stories told in rhymes and beautiful illustrations, preview the book and pictures here
Misri Bunch (Ends: 7/29/2014)
Puppets, books, and animations with completely adorable animals, Koran/Islamic education for children.
I always get nervous talking about religious stuff because furries are as a category anti-religious, most geeks are. But this really is adorable.
Sunny Creations Tee (Ends: 7/23/2014)
Mini-campaign, cute tee by Sunny Creations, fursuit maker and artist. Sort of a “my other shirt is a husky” sort of idea
Pokemon Gum Badges (Ends: 8/11/2014)
Cloisonne/enamel pins representing the Kanto, Johto, and Battle Frontier pokemon gyms…and soon, Hoenn.
Sympathy for the Devil (Ends: 7/22/2014)
A documentary about the endangered Tasmanian Devil, currently threatened by transmissable cancer (yes, that is a thing)
The goal on this one is probably unreasonably high for a first-time crowdfunder.
Tiny mouse Friend Doll (Ends: 8/1/2014)
Delicate, porcelain-like resin ball-joint mouse from Summerdream Dolls
Catlateral Damage (Ends: 7/11/2014)
BE THE CAT. Knock things off the shelf and onto the floor. Repeat. Repeat. Sort of a feline goat simulator.
Already $4K past its $40K goal!
Wild Warfare (Ends: 7/24/2014)
Vehicle and energy blaster FPS with raccoons, bears, and bunnies, armed to the buck teeth.
Their alpha is already available online
Redneck Assassin (Ends: 7/28/2014)
Third-person stealth shooter game for mobile devices, Bambie mixed with Kill Bill.
Second time around for this project with a strange funding goal (a goal of $5 is more a joke than a goal…)
Teddy Love (Ends: 8/15/2014)
It’s a teddy bear. It’s a vibrating toy you can take with you on the airplane without explaining.
I think I’m going to pull this one down soon, it’s too silly not to post but not really on topic…oh, how we make justifications.
Hardblush’s Technophilia minizine (Offbeater pre-launch)
Cute and twinky anthro boys from hardblush.com, with a technology/scifi theme
The project itself is only a bit NSFW, the hardblush website, very NSFW
Save Africa’s Wild Dogs (Ends: 8/25/2014): A project to tag and track endangered AWDs in Kruger National Park, Africa. Campaign’s very short on backer rewards, but AWDs are an amazing species…
…Just for funYomi fighting game (Ends: 7/17/2014): A melee/strategy fighting game with 20 decks, covering a range of supers, supernaturals, and a few anthro characters. Nice illustrations and WAY past goal. I just want the dragon, thanks.
Only attracted by furries, a follow-up
Original post here: http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/260wd5/how_do_you_start_relationships_if_youre_only_into/
About a month ago, I asked how to start relationships when you're only into yiff. My problem was that I was only turned on by yiff art. After more than a month of nofap, there's no difference on that side, but I expected that.
I've tried to look for more furries in my area. I found only one, and we didn't really talk much. However, I realized this was only a small part of what makes someone, and I shouldn't look exclusively for that.
As for relationships in general, as people said on the other thread, romance != sex. It might be harder for me to find that perfect someone, but I'm more hopeful about that today. Plus, one of my friends on the internet who was actually in the same situation as me found love, which proves to me it's far from impossible.
I decided to move in a larger town (Montreal) once I'm done with my studies, so I could meet more people with similar interests as me, included but not limited to furries.
Thought I'd share with you guys.

Is this odd?
Okay so I'm furry, obviously, any who I never really found an animal, mythical or otherwise that appealed to me, sooo I created a species that fits me. Though it doesn't have fur or scales or a combination it does have an exoskelton thing ish..... what I'm asking is is that weird? Among the fandom ik weird is hard to come by lol.

So, apparently I'm flooded with requests! Taking more!!
I'll draw for free, because my art is semi crap, but I'll still try my damndest to do what you want me to. It will take a while as well because I am kinda working full time and have a decent social life, but you'll get them. I'll post a link to my imgur album if people are interested in "Fusky's Fusking Awful Arts".
If you have lineart, I can colour it as well.
Examples and junk! That are all kinda NSFW!:
Drawn by me!

Putting the “fur” in First Person Shooter
[Note: Funding for Wild Warfare is cancelled, and "Redneck Assassin" probably isn't worth funding anyway...]
A couple of fun FPS style video games came up on Kickstarter this last two weeks, worth a look for art if nothing else. Of the three, “Wild Warfare” seems like the one with the strongest business–they’re working from a strong starting position, with an alpha already in place, a good team, and enough games under their belt that they probably know how to use the money. The second, “Redneck Assassin,” I’m not quite so confident in, they’ve got that “I’ll start the goal at $5 and not edit my post” thing happening, and it’s showing in pledges. But it’s a fun story, Kill Bill meets Bambi.
I had a third…the kitten slaughterfest Whiskers of Death–but the project seemed, pick one: A) Doomed, B) Gratuitous, C) Silly. So you’ll have to go to their page for a wholesale orgy of ill-thought-out kitten destruction.
Anyway…
Kickstarter crowdfunding cancelled.
Maybe you’ve played “Wild Warfare” already? It’s been available as a free Alpha for a while now. It’s a Team Fortress sort of game, but with raccoons, bears, and bunnies running around generally wasting each other. According to the kickstarter vid, Wild Warfare started as an internal pet project, a mod to turn one of Hyper Hippo‘s existing games into an FPS (I’m thinking “Mech Mice Tactics,” the look and feel’s similar. And, mice.) What started as office fun ended up as an online alpha with a few thousand players, but not quite enough for a full game release–and so Hyper Hippo turned to Kickstarter.
Wild Warfare is a multi-player, multi-class, vehicle-based first person shooter for web play, with a few different play modes–free-for-all skirmish, a team-play death match, and a “capture the flag” mode. The concept is simple and pure: animals run around blasting the hell out of each other with energy weapons, and sometimes there are mecha, trucks, and mechatrucks. Right now the world of Wild Warfare is on the spare side–two worlds, and three race/classes that fill many of the standard FPS tropes (the raccoon striker/commander, rabbit engineer, and the bear, the big dumb bruiser. The Kickstarter promises more worlds, more races (they show concept art of a hillbilly ‘gator, bomb-happy armadilo, and a very slinky weasel sniper). We see the big stompy mecha vehicle in their kickstarter video, but there are tanks and off-road trucks sprinkled around the kickstarter page, presumably stretch goals.
There are also many hats. It’s kind of a running joke. I’m torn between the bowler cap–always a sound decision–and the road cone.
The pitch video’s images of game play are murky and indistinct, it’s a teaser more than proof of concept. Reviewer “Badass Games” has a good 10-minute play video on YouTube that gives a sense of the skirmish mode, and the pacing and general insanity level of the game.
Thoughts on the Kickstarter itself–they seem to be having a hard time gaining traction. Not being really with-it on video games, this looks like a function of market saturation–with every established and indie game developer putting their wares out for crowdfunding, and the surge of indie games in general, there’s just too much competition for the gamer dollar and attention span. They were picked by Steam Greenlight, but they’re sharing that honor with like 30 titles a week. The game looks like a lot of fun, and the Kickstarter seems well-constructed, but the response hasn’t been great so far.
Redneck Assassin
Kickstarter ending 7/28/14
Fursuit shot from pitch vid
Oh, the dialogue. Did you know what rhymes with “buck?” Lots of things rhyme with buck. I’m not sure that joke sustains a script. Oh deer.
Ahem.
Redneck Assassin is a bloody, stealth FPS for your mobile device. In fact, “mobile” is an important part of the game’ls story–the developer, Clay Hayes, created Redneck Assassin in part as a response to the lack of a good stealth game for mobiles. The controls were a big problem for him: keeping the standard stealth game controls on the screen in the tight confines of a mobile was clunky, so Hayes set out to make a game with controls that would be where you needed them when you needed them.
The pitch video does a better job of capturing the game than still images do; the camera work is a bit too muddy for good detail shots. Also, the player’s thumbs look like giant alien monsters watching the action on their viewscreen, safely orbitting Golgathon IV.
The plot is simple and classic, largely a pastiche of Shakespeare’s later romances: You are a humanoid deer, left for dead by hunters and trained in the arts of ninja-type murderation by your sensei, Bigfoot. It’s nice how those ancient stories come back in so many forms.
Redneck Assassin’s play is heavily influenced by Metal Gear Solid, and just perhaps by Redneck Rampage. The feel of the game–particularly the cut scenes–is meant to invoke an over-the-top grindhouse revenge flick–would this be “bucksploitation”? Certainly the cinematography does a good job of that, but the dialog…I’d say it leaves me cold, but it actually makes me reach for a bottle of Pepto Bismol. So many bad deer jokes. so many.
It looks like this is the second round of crowdfunding for Redneck Assassin, the first came and went with a few thousand dollars toward a 5-digit goal, which isn’t a terrible response. This time around response has been much weaker, as the poster has tried to do something like Indiegogo’s flexible funding by starting with a $5 goal. A lot of potential backers might be thrown by this–what are you going to possibly be able to deliver with $5? I know the poster’s already spent the money and developed the title, this is for expansion, polish, and back-debt, but the combination of the weak financial story and sloppy editing work on the body copy just doesn’t make what I see as a backable project.
