I am in the main group Furry as well as Furrorists, but I can never seem to find anyone to play with. So I ask you, what steam group(s) are you apart of? Do they have enough people to always find someone on?

Just curious I guess, really wish I had a group of good furs to play with. (Especially in counterstrike)

Is there good art of a male white tiger and a female red fox (both anthropomorphic) together? I can't find any that are romantic, or sweet, or cute, or even sexualized. Any work, but sweet is preferred.

Author: jasper-bear The video game Shiness got the Greenlight on Steam a few days ago (and has started fundraising, although there has been no word yet on the release date). Shiness is a epic fantasy RPG game; its main character and some supporting characters are anthropomorphic, and it has fully animated cutscenes. Find the full […]

Here is a report which featured on the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ-FM (a radio station serving the Greater Los Angeles area). It concerns the recent Califur 10 convention,

http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2014/06/04/lightning-strikes-exploring-the-califur-convention-furries/


The first time we walked into the hotel lobby and witnessed 900 costumed characters frolicking about we thought someone had slipped us a hit of acid. After getting over the initial shock of it all, we began to warm up to them and over time they reciprocated, although at first they were very reluctant to speak with us. After all, we are KROQ (trouble makers). As the years passed and the conventioners warmed up to us, we began asking questions. But the answers were often vague and left us wanting to know more.

What is this convention all about? What’s the strange obsession with anthropomorphic animals all about? And what’s going on in that private dance party that they won’t let us into? Is it a giant animal sex party? And, why are dozens of conventioners not wearing costumes? Do they just like to watch? It’s all very strange.

So, like any person pretending to be a journalist, I turned on the microphone in hopes I could get some answers.

I do have to give the organization real props because their mission for the weekend was to raise money for animal assistants to aid soldiers with PSD. Basically, soldiers returning from war sometimes can use a little help in their daily lives, and furry friends come in handy, both real and costumed.

I really don't know how to ask, or what to do. I am new to the furry fandom. Does anyone know how I can get my fursona drawn for free? Also if someone could explain this to me, you would help me greatly. Thank you all!

So I've recently had problems thinking of a new name for my Fursona. It was named Aries until now, because that's my zodiac sign, but I'm looking for something gender-neutral or even feminine. And the God of war doesn't exactly scream feminine. So I've been looking around, but I can't think of ANYTHING!

My fursona is a red fox, I've always liked the Japanese word for fox; Kitsune, but that's already super popular and used. I thought about possibly changing the spelling to something along the lines of Kitsunii, but I don't know. Halp pls

<3

edit* I'm a musician myself, so I thought about possibly taking from or adding to Apollo, being the greek god of music. I'm not sure if that would work or not though.

Papabear,

I've been taken advantage of as a freelance furry cartoonist, you may know the type who ask for a drawing and expect it to be free despite my saying it's a paid commission all over the place and then giving me a sob story (birthday, sick, thought it was free) to just not pay for a drawing. What do you think I could do to prevent such a thing on FurAffinity, Anthrocon, and other furry social settings?

Sign Me,

Pushover When It Comes to Commissions

* * *

Dear Pushover,

A hard row to hoe is the life of a freelance artist, whether you draw, write, or compose music. Artists are grossly underappreciated in American culture (even the famous ones get screwed out of money), and it’s gotten worse since the advent of the Internet, where people seem to believe that artists don’t have bills and obtain their sustenance  through photosynthesis. “The Internet should be free! All art on the Internet should be free! Online radio should be without commercials!” Sometimes I think these people believe artists to be magical fairies who don’t buy food or rent apartments; they clearly sew their garb from spider webs and mushroom gills and frolic about in the magical land of Narnia, where Aslan takes care of all their every need. Then, as a hobby on the side, they post art on the Internet (even though getting an AC adapter in Narnia can be a challenge—but at least Aslan ate all the people at Time Warner cable to provide his people with free Web access).

Sorry, pet peeve of mine. I’ll stop with the sarcasm. 

Yes, there are artists who post for free online ... a lot of them, and furries love them for it. But I also know artists who actually need the money from commissions to get by in life because they've lost their "real" jobs or are underemployed.

I’ve always been impressed by the talents of the many artists in the fandom. Their work deserves compensation, and if you are one of those people who commissions a work of art from a fellow furry and then reneges on the deal after the artist provides you with said art—then shame on you! You knew there was a fee for the work, and now you try to wheedle out of your side of the deal? To quote John Cleese, “I fart in your general direction.” You are a malignant leech.

But getting paid for your work is not only a challenge in the furry fandom. Artists all over face this problem, especially commercial artists. As you’ll find in this informative article, https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/artists/advice/180/exhibiting-and-working-on-commission/working-on-commission/freelancing-for-beginners, businesspeople have become expert when it comes to excuses not to pay for the artist’s work.

Papabear’s come across this issue before in this column, and the only really solid solution I can come up with is this: Create a simple written contract between you and your client explaining what the commission is and the terms of payment. I would recommend getting payment up front. If a commissioner has a problem with that, you probably don’t want him or her as a client. If you prefer, you might also try the half now, half later payment method, where you at least get part of the money up front. Offer a refund if the commissioner doesn’t like the work, but if you go that route, what you should do initially is send them a very low-res version of the file so that they can’t use it, and/or watermark your art thumbnail.

To succeed as an artist in this world, you also need to think like a businessperson. Unless you are giving your art out as a gift to friends and family, trade in art is a business. Treat it as such and you will decrease the number of times you get screwed by dishonorable commissioners.

Good luck!

Papabear
