The Week in Naked (NSFW)

FurStarter - Mon 3 Feb 2014 - 01:04

The latest adult projects from Offbeatr (okay, and one refugee from Kickstarter…)

Once again, a sultry figure leans against the wall, concealed by dark shadows behind the “Offbeatr” headquarters. He, or she, or possibly they, stretch a leg out, coquettishly showing a paw, and whispers in a husky voice–to clarify, a low gravely voice, though it may actually be a husky’s voice, no judging, “Don’t worry, sailor, I don’t bite. And I just got brushed so I’m not half so much an allergy trigger.”

You check your wallet, check the pledge points, and say, “Why not. They take Paypal now.”

Primal175Primal: A Fine Art Photo Series and Book
Kickstarter ending 2/11/14

primal1A few years ago there was a beautiful photo collection called “Beasts,” by David Sprigle. I guess “beautiful” is a matter of taste, it was a collection of 100 artsy, mostly black and white, photos of male models and animal imagery–sometimes pastoral, playful, monstrous, suggestive, fantastical, hot, or occasionally just plain weird. This compilation is of a kind, though it’s a little more colorful, and more “art-nude” and much less gay-porny.

primal2As a collection of human nudes, this obviously is a few steps out of the “furry fandom” world. But one of our staff criteria for fur-friendly projects are those that sit at the intersection of animal imagery and artistic fun–even if they’re not specifically anthropomorphic. This project is pretty firmly at that street corner, a collection of arty, sexy nudes bound together with a loose theme of animalistic props, poses, and plots. A portion of the portfolio is available online, so there’s some excellent sneak preview material there.

Again, not for everyone, particularly if you’re upset by real fur, or just came for the cartoons. But if you have a more totemic idea of anthropomorphism, or just like looking at attractive models playing at being feral beasts, you might like to glance over this one.

mogi175Mogi Origins
Offbeatr ending 3/18/14

Maybe Mogi is only tangentally furry, but it falls into the “fandom-friendly” world of Mario references, Neko cat girls, and big-eyed anime characters, and might be worth a look–particularly if your ears perk up at “cute kitty girls.” It’s a platformer following the side-scrolling adventures of Voms, a mechanic at the hentai equivalent of Jurassic Park. Somehow–you’d never believe it, but it’s true–an accident causes a horde of “MoGi” (monster girls) to descend upon the citizens of the island in a somewhat rapey flood.

mogi1I’ve been clicking around Offbeatr for a while now, I don’t think I’ve seen the “sex scenes as stretch goal” before. Usually sex scenes are assumed on Offbeatr. 

mogi2I’ve watched FAR more than my share of SailorMoon in my life, and I know that when the youma attack, you gotta beat some youma. Still, there’s something about playing a bouncy side-scrolling mechanic and kicking pumpkin girls in the head or beating them up with a HUGE monkey wrench that seems…a little off. I don’t know. The viewing and pledging populace seems to have made their mind up, the project’s funded with a month left on the clock. Poke around the project page or the blog–there’s a demo version there somewhere–maybe it’s good for a laugh, maybe it’s just a little sinister. Maybe I’m reading too much into it and should go back to “Primal.”

king175The King and Guin: Slaves of the Tentacle
Offbeatr ending 3/19/14

Ironically, of the video game about jiggly hentai girls with pumpkins for breasts and a gay porn fanfic about Japanese leopard-warrior Guin and Capcom’s fighting lion Leo, the two barbarian warriors locked in sticky bondage in a cavern of very…thirsty tentacle plants, the barbarians actually have bigger tits.

There. I said it. Now I can get on with this blurb.

guinFA artist Furious has a strong fan base and four comic titles already out at Furplanet, so you can check them out at the Furplanet table at the next big con. With that kind of support he’s well past is very modest goal of $600, starting to work his way through his stretch goals. I suspect that the comic’s real goal is $5000, when Furious’s muscle-loving fans will get their barbarians in full color.

There’s a bit of tongue-in-cheek here, Furious has a sense of humor and his stupendously huge barbarians are not without their occasional comedy beat. But his shtick is “fierce and muscular,” with proportions that only intersect with the real world on the occasional “One Weird Muscle-Building Trick” pop-up ad, and Guin and Leo have a lot of company in Furious’s portfolio. But if there’s not a joke buried in “a deadly cavern of cum-guzzling tentacle plants” somewhere, I’m going to be sad.

kinky174KinkyFUR Collection #1
Offbeater Pre-Voting Period

Okay, showing my ignorance. I’m not sure what a Futa girl is. Google says it’s somehow related to the federal unemployment tax, but that really doesn’t seem relevant.

KinkyFUR is a collection of anthropomorphic girls in bondage–there’s a few guys, at least one Bowser, but emphasis on thhe ladies–with a generous side of video game imagery, keeping it playful, with Mario’s cheerful red venus flytrap filling in for hentai rapetacles,

The project is being developed by two contributors. The first artist, Ligertits, looks like she’s contributed to other Offbeatr-fronted portfolios, hentai being well-represented on the internet’s crowdpornfunding home. Check her art tumblr for some of her projects. Her co-conspirator, Seinobyte, has a small gallery on SoFurry.

I’m curious to see where this goes. It’s got a high goal and is off to a slow start on Kickstarter, and I’m not seeing any real publicity on the interwebs, and neither seems to have a strong fan base on FA. Without some real effort at publicity–crowdfunding rule #1, nothing goes viral unless you MAKE it go viral–it’s going to gather dust. Still, it’s hard to know what’s going to grab Offbeatr’s attention.

Just want to talk..

Furry Reddit - Sun 2 Feb 2014 - 23:52

Hey r/furry! I'm not one to make depressing/woe is me posts but I've been feeling shit recently and hoped that you guys would cheer me up. I'm 14 and have always been interested in anthro art before I knew I was a furry. I was born in England and until I was 14 lived there. In November I moved to the sf Bay Area in California with my stepdad and mum. My dad lives in England and comes out to see me sometimes. My problem is that despite moving from a area of barely any furries to the highest populated furry area in the us I feel very alone. I live with them on a 16,000 acre ranch five miles into the mountains so I am isolated. My father stepdad and mother are all homophobes who would disown me if they found out I was gay which further makes me feel alone. My stepdad was a cop and had a concealed carry glock 17 which I considered killing my self with. I got as far as putting the gun to my head and taking off the safety before I broke down.the only reason I don't kill myself now is the thought of what I would cause my dad to go through if I did, and the slight hope that when you reach rock bottom things can only get better. So that's basically my shitty life story and you can have it for free. So if any of you guys want to talk my email is milesharkin99@gmail.com and my skype is milothefox99. Thanks guys, I feel better already for just getting this of my chest even if it is just on the interwebs.

Pool Sharks and Dirty Rats: Mob Town

FurStarter - Sun 2 Feb 2014 - 23:20

A game of jazz-age shenanigans, secret agendas, hostile takeovers, and foxes for 2-4 players…

mobtownlogo

Mob-Town

Kickstarter ending 3/9/14

Mob Town is a family-friendly card game from 5th Street Games, seating from 2-4 players (though it may play better with 3 or 4). Players take the role of an up-and-coming crime syndicate, taking over towns one business at a time. Play’s easy, with elements of “Ticket to Ride” and some of the geometry of a streamlined “Illuminati: New World Order.”

mobtownweaselHere’s the furry tie-in: how effective you are at claiming a business depends on the animals in your employ. Sharks are really good at taking over gaming halls, rats really, really love restaurants, foxes love show biz, and so on. 12 of these businesses are put into play, creating a random Anytown. Then the feeding frenzy begins: swap, hire, scheme, buy, and co-opt as fast as you can, because the next card might be the police dog.

A game’s made up of three rounds, each round representing a town the players are fighting over. The lowest-scoring player each round starts the next round, so they get a little bit of an edge to help keep things competitive. Rounds are scored based on how many properties you’ve claimed and what hidden agendas you’ve accomplished, giving you a few different paths to victory. With only a few different card types play’s pretty streamlined; for more advanced play, the “City Limits” expansion adds local landmarks, named personalities, and cities with their own unique rules, and an early Stretch Goal adds a cooperative and solo mode. Another early stretch is the “Daily News” category, which sounds a bit like your typical “events” category.

 mobtownboardThe game’s rules are simple and easy to pick up, though a little abstract since they tend to rely on card placement and positioning–you may want to check the playthrough video on Bower’s Game Corner to get a clearer idea of game play and see if it’s your thing.

The art of “Mob Town” is strong, cartoony and charismatic. Thumbs up for the fox moll and the weasels, the german shepherd police dog’s a little lackluster, lacking the charming charicature style of the rest of the troop, but nothing’s perfect. Artist Danny Divine has progress art and some of his other work at his personal blog–he’s also got an interview on Hyperbole Games. For not being a card-carrying furry (as far as I know, anyway) the graphics and presentation have some strong fandom appeal.

mobtowncardThe Kickstarter itself has a clean layout with big obvious infographics, the kind of clear presentation that makes a tabletop game kickstarter really sing. Not a huge surprise, as 5th Street Games has six successful kickstarters under their belt. And somehow, they’re able to offer free international shipping–and I have NO idea how that works. Star Trek transporters may be involved.

The international appeal continues with a little bit of word-of-mouth energy: the more “shares”  the project’s elevator speech vid gets on youtube, the more foreign currencies and police uniforms available in the international releases. Neat–an incentive to repost the video that actually enhances the game!

Those “pros” said, I am a little concerned over the “pledge for six complete packages!” contributor levels, Kickstarter has at times been against the “retail package” style of advanced pledge point, and these could be volatile.

All in all, it looks like a nice game to bring out at furry board game nights, a good edition to the shelf–light strategy, good art, a modest sense of humor, and rules that create a variety of scenarios. With a strong lead (halfway to goal on day two) and a creator with an established history on Kickstarter, there’s not a lot of risk. Definitely worth a look!

The Annie Award Winners

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 2 Feb 2014 - 19:40

Your humble ed-otter and his mate were honored to once again attend the 2014 Annie Awards, honoring the best in animation from the year 2013.  The event at UCLA’s Royce Hall (on Saturday the 1st of February) was hosted by Patrick Warburton, best known as Kronk from Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove but also appearing as a voice in the upcoming Peabody and Sherman movie. Though Disney’s Frozen won Best Feature and Best Directing (it was a favorite for both), no film or TV series really seemed to dominate the awards that night. Instead the honors were spread out over a wide swath of projects. Several furry projects — or projects with anthropomorphic characters in them, at least — were honored, which is good when you’re honoring a year like 2013 that, let’s face it, had rather a dearth of heavily furry works — especially compared to 2012. Overall Disney was one of the big winners of the night — no, not Pixar. Disney. Not only did Frozen take home the feature-length honors for Best Picture, Directing, Music, Production Design, and Voice Acting (Josh Gad as Olaf the snowman); but the Disney Mickey Mouse series of shorts won in TV/Broadcast categories for Editing, Character Design, and Music. What’s more, the popular Disney cartoon Get A Horse won the Best Short Subject award. Pixar was represented as well of course, both in feature awards (as Monsters University won for Storyboarding and Editing) and TV/Broadcast (where Toy Story of Terror took home awards for Storyboarding, Character Animation, and Directing). Dreamworks Animation’s biggest winner of the evening was The Croods, which took home feature awards in Character Design, Effects Animation, and Character Animation. In television Tom Kenny received the award for Best Voice Acting for his role as The Ice King in Adventure Time, and the show itself was honored as the Best Production for Children. Some popular furry projects were nominated in several categories but unfortunately the did not win any awards. Among them were the TV series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Dragons: Riders of Berk, as well as the French feature film Ernest & Celestine. The Annie Awards are administered by ASIFA-Hollywood, the Southern California branch of the International Animated Film Society (ASIFA). You can visit the Annie Awards web site to see pictures and videos from the event as well as a full list of all the winners for 2013.

Good furry books out there?

Furry Reddit - Sun 2 Feb 2014 - 18:56

I'm going into a trip soon and I wished to read a book about animals or anthro,I really dont mind.

I really like about fantasy but I wouldn't mind in modern ages,not so much in space or future times. I dont care about maturity but I really like adventure books instead of romance.

What would you recommend me?
