Here Come the Birds

In-Fur-Nation - Thu 20 Mar 2014 - 01:46

Not content to have the (as should be expected) “art of Rio 2“, Blue Sky Studios instead bring us The Art of Rio: Featuring a Carnival of Art from Rio and Rio 2.  My, now that’s a title! “From 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios, the creators of Ice Age and Horton Hears a Who!, the musical adventure comedy Rio told the story of how rare Blue Macaws Blu and Jewel met and fell in love in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. In Rio 2, the pair journey with their 3 chicks to the amazon jungle in search of their wild roots. With over 300 pieces of concept art, character sketches, storyboards and digital paintings, along with interviews with the key animation talent, this book reveals the artistry behind the 2 colorful movies.” It’s put together by Tara Bennett (who’s written and edited several movie tie-in books of the sort), with an introduction by Carlos Saldanha (the director of both films). Look for it at Amazon, where it’s available now in hardcover.

We both like rock, metal, dubstep, that sort of thing.

Thanks!

True Life: I Want Respect for my Sect

Furries In The Media - Wed 19 Mar 2014 - 22:26
Hello everyone!

I just found out about a recent episode of MTV's True Life titled "I Want Respect for my Sect". It features furries along with Juggalos and vampires. The furry in this episode is somewhat young and I think got pulled into MTV's scheme of featuring "freaks", but it really wasn't that bad overall. I even remember her fursuit from RMFC, haha!

It can be watched here:

Brightly colored, stuffed with mice: Graphic Novels

FurStarter - Wed 19 Mar 2014 - 21:23

Brightly Colored, Stuffed With Mice: Graphic Novels

There’s always a brisk trade in graphic novels and webcomics in crowdfundingspace, all exciting, stuffed with [pick one: A) magic, B) warm slice-of-life tableaux, C) foxes]. I didn’t want these two gems to slip by without at least a quick glance, they’re all neat projects and well worth a little tour!

So two mini-reviews: The Oswald Chroniclesthe tales of a magical mouse; and Hounds of Love, a poodle-infested slice of life from Toronto by Julian Bynoe.

 

oswaldv2logoThe Oswald Chronicles (Vol. 2)
Kickstarter ending 4/18/14

oswaldv2aPart two of the ongoing stories of Oswald, a gentleman mouse possessed of magical abilities and an unfortunately adventure-prone, and mystery-fraught, life. Much of this mouse’s history is a mystery to him, where he came from, where he learned to communicate, where–and this is important–he picked up a knack for runic sorcery. But he’s ready to face adventure and inconvenience with curiosity and good manners. And a cute little bow tie.

There are other characters in this webcomic, but they aren’t adorable mice, so we won’t be discussing them, save to say they’re assorted and fey.

Volume 1 is available on Kindle, or as a perk at the $35 pledge level in the Volume 2 kickstarter. Of course, you can get caught up online, but the website is a bit clunky, so…seriously consider that pledge level!

oswaldv2cVol. 2 is a three-story anthology, with a range of artists, author J.D. Calderon, of course, who’s been working in comics for 20+ years, and works with his wife Daphne Lage on another ongoing joint project, Tall Tails. The third story in Oswald II is a prose piece illustrated by Lage, who has no shortage of furry cred of her own–Lage has been in and out of the furry fandom since the early 90s, and was featured in the 1993 American Journal of Anthropomorphicsa book which introduced me to the fandom (and, oddly, to my mate, but that’s a longer story).  Other artists in Oswald II include Luigito Teurel and Jade Gonzalez.

The Kickstarter for Oswald II is packed with awesome sample pages, with nods to anime, 1970s fantasy illustration, and some of the oldest school furry art around, and well worth a look!

Hounds of Love
Kickstarter ending 5/1/14

houndsoflove1We’ve seen Julian Bynoe’s work before; he runs an absolutely crazy number of ongoing stories, variously anthropomorphic and less so, from his “Snowleopard Arts” website,  he launched a campaign for a fun, gently picassoesque art portfolio and comic “The Blanche Carte Project,” and did an adorable illustration for one of our December posts.

houndsofloveblueI really love a good slice of life comic, and it’s a place where anthro characters hold their own. Circles, Hepcats, Little Tales, and Associated Student Bodies (…maybe, I might have miscategorized a wacky porn romp there). It seems like escapism in mainstream comics is strange supernatural forces and supers in spandex–but a big chunk of furry escapism is just little moments of life, but with fuzzy ears and tails. Nothing wrong with that.

houndsoflovepanelyBynoe’s particular slice of life is two canines, occasionally happily in love, more often tangled in circumstances (but still in love), and their cast of assorted characters, inconveniences, and exes. Bynoe’s artwork is light and friendly, very much in the “indie comix” mode. His characters are simply drawn, expressive and warm. The kickstarter’s funding for a 100-page B&W bound volume of Hounds of Love, collected from its occasional webcomic runs and biweekly appearances in community papers in Toronto.

houndsoflovecastIt’s a sweet and frothy series, with a good story and a fun romance. It’s off to a slow start, but don’t be afraid of the Canadian Kickstarter–Visa and Mastercard dispense Canadian dollars as easily as US.

Upcoming symposium on Gef the Talking Mongoose

Furry News Network - Wed 19 Mar 2014 - 20:38
Author: fenrislorsrai In 1931 on the Isle of Man, the Irving family claimed that their farm was home to a spectral talking mongoose. Many British tabloids carried stories on Gef and various psychic investigators visited, searching for evidence of the creature. Was is a hoax, paranormal activity, or some combination of them?

Octodad, the eight limbed father

Fursday - Watch List - Wed 19 Mar 2014 - 18:50

From this video trailer alone, Octodad feels like a combination of slapstick humour like Goat Simulator but with a touching story. The fact that people don’t recognise from the get go that he is an octopus reminds me of those Pinky and the Brain sketches where nobody seems to realise Brain is a mouse with an oversized head.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is available NOW on Steam, Humble, and GOG for $14.99. Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/224480/ Humble: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/octodad_dadliestcatch_storefront GOG: http://www.gog.com/game/octodad_dadliest_catch Octodad: Dadliest Catch is about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about daily life.
