I don't have any current work of mine, only the old stuff, If you know what I mean.

Soooo.... The most upvoted post in this thread when I come back tomorrow will be free, as an example to what I can do.

Now let's see what were the things I needed to mention for commissions...

• My commissions are $20, and that includes an HD timelapse of the work, of which you will get an mp4, and it will also go on my youtube channel for future commissioners.

• I take Payment via my Paypal

• I don't do NSFW, so don't ask

• And please leave a ref or 3 pictures and a description as reference if you don't have a ref image.

And that should be all for now, I shall be back when this post is 24 hours old.

Once I've got a decent sketch, It takes me about an hour to complete an image.

Okay let's start off by saying I'm not doing this for karma this is a throw-away account. Now for my story/confession...

I am 14 years old, I live a normal life, when I was 11 I was given my own laptop by my grandmother. Pretty quickly I introduced myself to porn and stuff like that, I mainly saw it in ads when I downloaded stuff. Then about a year later (When I was 12) I found /r/furry and I was pretty wierded out considering I had no idea what I was looking at, so I left it, but a couple months later somehow I came across /r/yiff, I don't how exactly I found it, but I did. Another year later I discovered I was bi-sexual I didn't tell anyone because all of my friends seem to against that kind of thing, my family on the other hand is very accepting of all sexual orientations. Anyway only a couple of weeks ago I had come back to /r/furry (Instead of look /r/yiff all the time) and actually enjoyed it, looking at all the posts and stuff. So then I had kind of "became a furry". I then talked to my friends indirectly about it, saying things like "Have you heard of something called furry?", anyway turns out most my friends are against that too. On a side note my parents "split-up" about a year ago, so my Mom no longer lives the rest of us (Dad, Brother, Sister). My Dad, who is the only parent in the house at the moment, HATES these kinds of fandoms.

Now you're probably wondering, "Why did he just post all this?", it's because I don't know who to turn to, and from what I've seen this is an amazing community...

So thank you for reading this, and any advice..?

Hello, it's me again, 

First a little follow up of my last letter, I forgave Apple for the robbery, he has slowed on his drug use as well as bought himself a quad which keeps him busy and off drugs :D

Since my last letter, a lot has happened, I left my home town, I traveled for awhile, I lived in a few places, I've met so many people, I saw lot of things, made a few new friends, even attended my first furry con, which really made me happy. Right now, I'm in college training to be a forestry firefighter; in two more weeks I'll be certified. I'll be protecting the forest and adding support in any disaster, Canadian or American.

But in travels, I've realized something: in my last letter, I mentioned that me and Apple were in a "Bad Environment" living there. I, without knowing it, put my personality in a shell. I can't freely express myself; my voice is deeper than normal; I stand tall rather then my normal relaxed stance; people who judge me based on my physical look often think I am angry or unhappy, when I could be just bored or shy. I also have trouble carrying a conversation. Since at home I didn't really talk, if I do talk it's usually short, quick replies straight to the point. I do this out of reflex. I wanted to know if you knew a way I could break this shell, express my personality, and speak more freely.

I'm interested in finding a mate, but if I can't express myself or learn to carry a conversation, I imagine that I'm not going to even have a relationship D:

Dear Hale,

I am glad you and Apple have reconciled, and it’s good that he is using fewer drugs, but it really won’t be “mission accomplished” until he is off them completely. I hope he gets there.

I’m also very proud of you for pursuing an awesome career in fighting forest fires. That’s a difficult and brave and generous thing to do!

As you’ve surmised, your behavior around people has been heavily influenced by the environment in which you grew up. Your penchant for being terse with your language and even your body posture are all defense mechanisms, shields used to defend yourself from being hurt. You are probably correct that your speech and mannerisms might be off-putting to potential mates.

You can take two approaches to changing how you behave. In the behavior-therapy approach, you focus on consciously changing your behavior, forcing yourself to stand in a more relaxed position and to answer questions with longer, more detailed responses. If you practice this enough, eventually these adjusted behaviors will become second nature to you, just as, say, forcing yourself to do a backflip will eventually make backflips quite easy to perform. How you improve in this area is to work on it incrementally. Each day, consciously think of relaxing your posture, especially when around others; also, when someone talks to you, instead of, say, replying with a simple “yes” or “no,” Pause and think for a second and add a sentence or two to your reply. If you can’t think of something relevant to the question, then, after answering the question, ask the other person something about him or herself. In other words, consciously become engaged in the other person; be curious about his or her life. Example:

Acquaintance: “Hi, there! How are you today?”

You: “Fine. Same old thing.... Um, hey, you’re John’s friend, right? Do you guys work together? etc. etc.”

Try to initiate a dialogue instead of just replying and offering the minimally required response. You might benefit from reading Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. Much of the material in the book seems like common sense, but common sense is not so common anymore, apparently.

The other approach is to address what is going on inside you and, by doing so, your outward behavior should change organically. To do so, you will need to explore and understand why you have all these mistrust issues to begin with (you might wish to consult a professional on this one). Second, you need to find people whom you can trust as friends and establish healthy relationships with them. Remembering that trust is a two-way street, start by doing small, kind things for others and see who will reciprocate, when the time is appropriate. Other things you can do to gain someone’s trust are: 1) be respectful of other people’s time (i.e., e.g., don’t show up late when you agree to meet someone); 2) make eye contact when talking to people; 3) similarly, don’t be afraid of touching others, including handshakes, a touch on the shoulder, or even a hug, if appropriate; 4) if someone tells you something in confidence, respect that absolutely; 5) be reliable; and 6) always be kind and considerate. It takes a long time to establish a new, trusting relationship (and this approach is much slower than the behavior modification method), but doing so will help you get out of your shell.

By becoming a more trusting, sociable person, you will be able to alter your behavior so that you become a more open, welcoming personality. And when your personality is more inviting, you will find that others will be more attracted to you, making finding a mate much more likely.

Hugs,

Papabear

Author: Hi Papabear. I just started getting into the fandom as my New Year’s resolution after being inspired and shown by a fur on Twitter, as if a whole new world opened up before me, something that I came to realize over the years that I jokingly sorta refused in a way XD LOL. Anyways, […]

Sorry if this post is 'inappropriate' for this subreddit. There is nowhere else to ask.

Almost a year ago I placed an order for over 300 dollars worth of stuff. It wasn't stated anywhere on their website that items are made to order and will take a ridiculous amount of time to arrive. If you go through the FAQ and look at any of the product pages there is nothing. It is implied that your order is ready to ship already. This is unacceptable and deceptive to customers.

I have since lodged 4 tickets, requesting a refund. ALL of them have been ignored. And there is nothing legally I can do because I live in Australia. What can I do?

Imagine if your fur-suit was not just a costume, but was actually a super-powered alien that molds itself around your body, giving you super powers too! Of course, it complicates matters when the leader of your super-hero team is also “frenemies” with the super-villain! That, in a nutshell, is the idea behind Zoodorables, a line of clothing, toys, and artwork created by Han L. Lee. The Zoodorables web site features the current products, as well as updates on a possible Zoodorables game and some animation in the works.
