Being a Freelance Artist Is a Business. Treat It as Such.

Author: 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 […]

Hamsters and Dragons. All Right!

In-Fur-Nation - Fri 6 Jun 2014 - 00:55

James Cartwright is a comic creator and writer who has recently started releasing his material on the Internet. Hamsters (illustrated in full-color by Mike Ratliff) is described simply as “Two hamsters venture outside their cage to escape from the clutches of their evil owner, a nine-year-old girl.” Gotcha! Then there’s Rocky Mountain Fire Lizard (also in full color by Pellegri), which goes like this: “As railway tracks are laid across Colorado’s rocky terrain, a dragon awakes from its slumber. A farm boy and privileged girl chase after the monster to be the first to collect the bounty on the creature’s head.” You can find out more about Cartwright Comics, including links to buy them, at the Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society (whew!).

Fuzzy Notes 72 - The Queen Recruits Another - On the day of the release of this episode, Canada absorbs another American into our bacon-covered...

Fuzzy Notes - Thu 5 Jun 2014 - 23:46
On the day of the release of this episode, Canada absorbs another American into our bacon-covered, maple syrup soaked, beaver infested bosom as Yennix pledges allegiance not to the flag, but to the queen. Also...there are two Brits in today's episode, so 'The Queen Recruits Another' seemed like a fitting title! This week's episode is almost like a big ol' fashioned B-Sides episode featuring music from recently showcased artists Draks, Jerms, WhiteFang and Flipp The Bunny as well as newcomer Ambery who kicks off the show! --- THE MUSIC: Ambery - Phase 5 * FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ambery/ * Track: http://ambery.bandcamp.com/track/phase-5 * Album: http://ambery.bandcamp.com/album/phases Jerms - One More Day In Holotown * Track: https://soundcloud.com/jermssilver/one-more-day-in-holotown * Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jermssilver WhiteFang - Heart-Shaped Musicbox * FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/discowhitefang/ * Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/discowhitefang Draks - Dream * FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/draks/ * Twitter: https://twitter.com/JonChatters * Bandcamp: http://draksthedragon.bandcamp.com Flipp - Shake It * FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/flippthebunny * Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/bunniesforreal * Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlippTheBunny --- HOUSEKEEPING: FUZZY NOTES ARTIST CHALLENGE: A semi-regular musical challenge sent out to all furry songwriters, producers and musicians to try something different! All the information is in the episode, but the low down is: * You are given a basic concept - a theme, a single lyric, maybe a musical restriction - and I CHALLENGE you to write a song based on that concept. * Songs can be any genre…the only rule to be considered is it must somehow convey the concept * All songs submitted will be featured on a special episode of Fuzzy Notes * All songs are winners, but one will be chosen out of the group by a panel consisting of Potoroo, a furry musician, and someone involved in the music industry outside of furry (a recording artist, a producer, a manager, a radio promoter or personality, etc.) based on three factors: the relevance to the theme, creativity, and what can best be described as ‘How excited we are about the song!’ * The artist selected will have their own CODA interview episode focusing on their music and the song they created, bragging rights, and some kind of cool prize The goal is to challenge furry musicians to try something a bit different, and to get more furry music into the world...which benefits us all! The first Fuzzy Notes Challenge concept: RADIO SILENCE Use this as inspiration: maybe a lyric, maybe a mood, maybe you'll use radio static in your song...who knows! It's up to you! Deadline for entry is now JUNE 13th! Submit your songs to Roo via email (it can be a Dropbox or Soundcloud link) at fuzzynotespodcast@gmail.com as soon as possible! FUZZY NOTES FAN CHALLENGE: This one's easy, a way to show support to furry musicians without spending a penny. * Go to the Fur Affinity account of artist you enjoyed in this episode and watch them! * Go to a track you enjoyed and favourite it! * Let an artist know what you like about their music by writing a comment on the track! * Share your favourite song of the episode on Facebook or Twitter! In other words, take the few seconds it takes to share what you think about the music you love so that others will see that the musician has got some love! The furry world is very art and story centric, but we have some great musicians who I 'know' have fans! It's time for us fans to treat the music we love like the art we love! EASY! While you're at it, please give Fuzzy Notes a review on iTunes or Podomatic...it helps us get furry musicians to more ears. Which is the whole point, isn't it?? * Android/RSS Feed: http://fuzzynotes.po(continued) Fuzzy Notes 72 - The Queen Recruits Another - On the day of the release of this episode, Canada absorbs another American into our bacon-covered...

What Steam Groups Are you a part of?

Furry Reddit - Thu 5 Jun 2014 - 23:00

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)

Looking for couple art~ (White Tiger [m], Red Fox[f])

Furry Reddit - Thu 5 Jun 2014 - 21:40

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.

Lightning Strikes: Exploring The Califur Convention, Furries!

Furries In The Media - Thu 5 Jun 2014 - 20:38


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 am looking for some to draw my fursona

Furry Reddit - Thu 5 Jun 2014 - 20:12

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!
