Now to start this off, I'm not just making a native earth or an alien species (of this realm.) I've created a 'sona, called it a hybrid of shiz, but decided I think I want to write an entire background around him. Doing this, though, I want to give him a named species. The problem, and reason I'm posting here, is that I'm not very creative with making up names for things.

First, here's a ref if it helps anyone with a name (SFW, I'm sure): http://puu.sh/9Voq1.png

Second, I want to add that the colour of fur is kind of like a family or clan tartan (pattern seen on kilts and stuff of clans in Scotland and places).

Third, the realm they live in is not connected to this realm normally, but that's where my character comes in later. The realm is a place where what seems like magic is as commonplace as electricity. It's a type of particle found at the atomic level, like protons, neutrons, and electrons, found in the empty space within atoms. It can be tapped through focusing brainwaves and supplying the user's own energy, and the energy takes time to renew, generally an hour or two. The denser the substance, the more potential it has, and longer it takes to replenish fully.

Okay okay, my character (Dezsö) is one who dun goofed during an experiment and ended up creating portals to a mundane realm never seen by the species before, and stabilizers were created to safely travel to and fro, but that's in the future, currently, Dez has only been able to travel there before his portal closed, leaving him stuck without magic except from the molecules in his body, which is far less than what is needed to travel back.

(I'm sorry I'm writing so much in here, I just want it to help x3)

TL;DR It's a magical species from another realm, I'm stranded until the future (will come in writings I'm planning to do when not too lazy), and I need help with ideas for naming things such as the species, the home-realm, and the "magic."

Any input is appreciated, I'm looking mainly for ideas, but I'd also like to hear what people think. Thanks all! ^ ^

Bored. Again. Jerking around while waiting for my thick as adamantium coconuts tech to realize that we have a company specifically for tech jobs. So I figured... Why not ask about other characters peeps might have? I know some have enough for a small group, others a book, others a small city.

But yeah. Who else do you have that you may or may not role play as? What's the connection to your fursona, if there's one at all. This is just me being curious, I don't even know if I'll post mine yet given I have a small handful.

Longboarders and skaters of /r/furry. What decks do you recommend? I'm looking for one with a nice decal. I've already looked at the land yacht switch 40. All comments are appreciated. Thanks

Hello friends, Sparklepaws here. I'm currently on my way to Anthrocon with a few friends and we decided it would be awesome to hang out with some Reddit furs.

So this is an official invitation! If you'd like to get together, meet some new people and maybe grab lunch, just reply here and we'll set something up.

Until then have an awesome day =3

Dated July 2, here is another article about Anthrocon 2014, by Yanan Wang of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2014/07/03/Furry-nation-unleashed-on-Downtown/stories/201407030092


Walking through the Westin Convention Center, Downtown, Kyle F., 29, caught sight of his reflection in a hallway mirror. He paused briefly at the image — large animated eyes, protruding snout, furry oversized head — before strolling away confidently, long red tail in tow.

Kyle is among the 5,600 anthropomorphic animal enthusiasts expected to attend the ninth annual Anthrocon convention today through Sunday at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

The theme of this year’?s event is “Secret Societies,” a nod to rumors about clandestine organizations such as the Furry Intelligence Agency (FIA).

A resident of Newport, N.H., Kyle has been wary about sharing his hobby with anyone but his closest friends. “I work for a weapons manufacturing company,” he quipped. “If my co-workers found out about what I was doing this weekend, they might take a hunting permit on me.”

Participants admitted their fandom has elicited mixed responses from friends and family, and many withhold their full names so acquaintances back home don’t know about their hobby.

Wednesday at a media event, VisitPittsburgh CEO Craig Davis credited Anthrocon with generating economic activity in the city. Since the first gathering in 2006, the convention has contributed more than an estimated $7 million in direct spending to Pittsburgh.

Costumers such as Kyle comprise 20 percent of the artists, animators, puppeteers and other fans who flock to Pittsburgh for the event. They are a common sight this time of the year, when Pittsburghers are eager to witness the return of the furries.

“There is no city that welcomes us in the way Pittsburgh does,” said Samuel “Uncle Kage” Conway, chairman and CEO of Anthrocon. “People here have embraced walking foxes as part of the scene.”

This sense of acceptance is important for attendees, who come to Anthrocon to join a community of like-minded anthropomorphics devotees hailing from 25 countries and every state except North Dakota, Mr. Conway said.

Kyle crafted his “fursona,” Kazee, for last year’s Anthrocon. “Most people have several personalities that they switch back and forth between, but I really only have this one,” he explained. His costume is “mostly wolf with some fox,” and but for the rotund head, it is entirely self-made.

With paws outstretched and gesturing spiritedly, the more than 6-foot-tall Kazee was an outgoing creature, but Kyle admitted to being self-conscious, even reclusive, when out of costume.

The animal alter-ego gave him an avenue through which to express himself. Inside the costume, “I can do anything,” he said.

Vitai, a white Bengal tiger in a loincloth, nodded his head in agreement. His human identity is David K., 24, of Jacksonville, Fla., who has been attending Anthrocon for the past three years.

He noted that the entertainment value of the convention is often lost on those who dismiss dressing up as animals as “a little weird.”

“It’?s not about the animal; it’s about the performance,” he said.

Anthrocon’?s organizers work hard to preserve this element of theatricality.

Photographers are not permitted to take photographs of costumers unless they are fully garbed; photos of unmasked attendees drinking water are strictly off-limits.

These rules serve to uphold the convention’?s enduring and most important belief: Humans can take the form of animals.

“Costumers like the illusion to be complete,” Mr. Conway said. More than 1,100 attendees dressed in full-body fursuits will walk in a parade Saturday afternoon inside the convention center.

After the costumes are shed and the convention draws to a close on Sunday, the furries will return home. Some will attend local meet-ups or post in online forums.

Others won’t bare their claws again until next year’?s Anthrocon, keeping their animal identities under wraps until Pittsburgh beckons once more.

I'll be doing a bit of drawing for the weekend, so I'm taking this chance to study expressions. Here is where it'll all be listed, and I'll update this post as I go! Send refs to FA or here, it doesn't really matter; I'll try my best to keep y'all updated!

EDIT: So the list is on FA, anyone who isn't in the slots, I'll put on cue for next week's freebs, or if I have time/energy, I can get done before the weekend's over.

If I can't be reached, especially tonight, it's probably because I'm at work. I'll do my best to check in every few hours.

The Verge does a profiles Julius Csotonyi and shows off his stunning dinosaur artwork:

A native of Edmonton, Csotonyi's interest in drawing dinosaurs was, for a time, little more than a hobby that carried over from childhood. He just really liked dinosaurs, and as an artist it was a natural extension. Eventually he took a step towards turning that hobby into a career when he started submitting his work to various outlets in 1998. While still studying for his PhD, he received his first commissions to restore dinosaurs for publications and institutions like National Geographic and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. "It was in 2005, when I got my first paleoart commissions, that I realized that I could potentially make this a career," he explains.

 Affordable Canadian fursuit maker. 

In their wordsI've always been creative and love making things.  Halloween has always been my favorite time of year so I always enjoyed making some new every year.  About 10 years ago I made a wolf type costume for fun and it was the hit of the party.  After the party people started asking where I got it and I honestly said I made it.  They seemed to like enough to ask me to make them a custom one and so began my adventures is making these type of costumes.I've made costumes for all sorts of groups from Cosplayers, sports teams, theater groups, store events, and the Furry Fandom.  My speciality is Canines but i can do other species.  I can do something cute or something evil.Rating
