Would anyone happen to know a suit maker with a similar style to that of Oneeyeddoe?

Furry Reddit - Sat 7 Jun 2014 - 12:39

I fell in love with her style, but sadly she no longer takes head commissions so I'm out of luck. If anyone knows a maker with a similar style id really appreciate the help!

Example of Oneeyeddoe's style: http://i.imgur.com/Fcy5AQ5.png / http://i.imgur.com/VVxBG37.jpg

Anthramorphic Character Names

Furry Reddit - Sat 7 Jun 2014 - 09:50

Just to preface, I'm not 100% sure that I'm in the right place, but I figured there's no harm in asking.

To be up front, I own and operate a small publishing company that focuses on making role playing game supplements, such as adventure modules.

One of the projects we are currently working on is a fantasy campaign setting, and one of the species/races that will be included in the core book is "Bestials" (for lack of a better term, atm). They predominantly inhabit a chain of large islands in a temperate/tropical climate. While they may resemble large feline or canine anthramorphs, the core book will treat them as the same species, although that may be further extrapolated in future supplement books.

One of the combined projects is creating a digital "Random NPC Generator" which displays the name, various personal traits, current mood, etc. We currently have hundreds of names for the other races (Human, Elf, Dwarf, and Orc), but we're partly at a standstill on the "Bestials".

What we're looking for is either a list of possible character names to plug into the database for the program, or your recommendations.

Thank you for any assistance.

Of Bears and Pots and Deep Deep Thoughts

In-Fur-Nation - Sat 7 Jun 2014 - 01:59

Psycologist, hypnotist, and philosopher, A.B. Curtiss is also and accomplished author with several award-winning books to her name.  And several of her fiction books just happen to be of interest to furry fans. Legend of the Giant Panda (illustrated by Mirto Golino) is exactly what it sounds like: A mythic telling of how pandas got their distinctive black and white markings.  Hallelujah, A Cat Comes Back is a “cat book of virtues”, where a young tom gives us the feline wisdom brought down to him from his wise granny-cat. Illustrated with a collection of Victorian feline prints. Dragons Guard The Zoo is a collection of poems on many subjects, including animals real and fanciful. And In the Company of Bears (illustrated by Barbara Stone) has been described as a “children’s philosophy book”, in which bears are used to illustrate soothing rhymes about accepting people for what they are. All of these and more are available on Amazon and at Ms. Curtiss’ web site.

What do fuzzbutts have for palms? and other practical matters

Furry Reddit - Sat 7 Jun 2014 - 01:53

I'm writing, and really, I'm stumped here, help me out. Pads of their paws? Ridiculous alliteration, unacceptable. Paw pads? Even more awkward. Just palms? I'm not writing about fur just to fall back to distinctly human anatomy. Pads of their hands is, technically speaking, reasonable, because we can consider paw to have a double meaning, functioning both as a general term for both feet and hands, and as a synonym for hand. I don't hesitate to use hand alongside paw on occasion, if neccessary. However, mashing together animal- and human-derived words in a single term such as pads of their hands is not pleasing at all. I'm about to fall back to options #1 and #2 and just try to make it work.

However, this all is assuming there is some sort of pads to talk of. That makes it a wider matter of anatomy rather than just nomenclature. How would that work, exaclty, while maintaining human-level dexterity? We need long, multi-jointed, independently moving fingers, and that defeats the point of paws and simply puts hands on our precious creatures. Can we have something that works like a hand but is paw-like enough to be called a paw and satisfy our need for adapting names from animal anatomy? Should we just give up on paws and accept that hands are one of the most important features of humans and therefore of an anthropomorphic creature? When I look at art - realistic enough to be relevant - I almost always see fur-covered hands, not paws. Can we still call them paws despite that, just for fun? To go back to the root issue, can we then talk about the palms of paws, having turned the distinction from a physical one to one of convention? I'm beginning to lean towards just that.

This is all easy to gloss over, but there comes a point at which I don't want to ignore it.

Also, how on Earth would footwear for a digitigrade biped look like? Does anyone know of good visual examples? Again, easy to avoid, but it's bugging me.

edit: than you for your insights, you are all awesome and I want to hug you

A quick question... (Im serious this time.)

Furry Reddit - Sat 7 Jun 2014 - 00:05

For some reason, around every week, I always act kind of... Gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I absolutely love feeling that way! But whenever I am like this, I walk, talk, sound, sit down, stand up, and act WAY differently than I normally do.. And the hard part of being this way, is trying to not have my extremely homophobic brother question why I act this way, because he says that if I ever turn out Bisexual (to which I am now) or gay, that he'll beat me until I'm straight again, and even though I know he won't do that, I'm still afraid to what he will do. Nobody else knows this. Please help me figure out why im like this, and how I can control it around my brother.

Thank you.hugs

Need help finding a piece of art... Any help would be loved <3

Furry Reddit - Fri 6 Jun 2014 - 19:44

I''ve been trying to find this picture I loved so much, but now I can't find it. It's a sweet picture of two ferals, one sad and lying down and the other one sort of dancing, or about to playfully pounce him. It also had text written on it with a lovely poem along the lines of "You accepted me when I was down and broken, you made me happy when I was sad", or something of the sort. Total paraphrase.

Anyway, it would mean so so so much to me if I could find it yet again... Thank you guys <3

Looking to create a furry resource site

Furry Reddit - Fri 6 Jun 2014 - 17:56

Hey Everyone!

I have been discussing with my mate about the lack of unified information currently around on the internet on the overall furry community. In general, there is no one great resource site where one can start at and branch out as they see fit, especially for those new to the community or confused on where to begin. My purpose with this site would not to be creating another site for posting art, or another wiki but more of a portal to all of the other sites out there and a collection of important and useful information. I am not trying to recreate the wheel, but instead make it shine a bit more..

Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or feedback? As far as name goes, I am looking at furportal, furweb, infofur, etc..

Edit: Formatting fail.

Edit 2: I appreciate all of the support that everyone has given for this idea. I have already have purchased a domain name that I think would be appropriate and look forward to beginning development of the site shortly. Please keep your thoughts and ideas coming, every little bit helps!

Edit 3: Thank you all again! I am going to start development of the site in about 5 days, after I get my computer back from being repaired (left shift key is not working right.) Thank you again for your input!

Fursona AMAs

Furry Reddit - Fri 6 Jun 2014 - 15:33

Are we allowed to do these? I think it'd be kinda fun to do an AMA roleplaying as a fursona.
