Offering some free sketches for a while

Furry Reddit - Sat 4 Jan 2014 - 14:22

Here's my fA if you're interested in my art: aarev

I am wanting to do commissions at some point (honestly, I just want enough money to buy Minecraft and DayZ. Has anyone played DayZ? It looks so cool)

But I know no one will hire me unless I get a wider audience and more practice.

So I'm going to offer 4-5 freebies in this thread to practice with. I'll choose characters that interest me if there's high demand, otherwise first-come-first-served. :)

Note: I'm not interested in drawing anything NSFW or sexual

Fergus Wyrm’s art site comparison list

Fursday - Reading List - Sat 4 Jan 2014 - 08:28

Fergus Wyrm has posted in a Google Doc an extensive comparison of FurAffinity, InkBunny, SoFurry, Weasyl, as well as throwing a few others into the mix such as Tumblr, VCL and DeviantArt for variety and contrast. I don’t have an account with all of the sites so I’ve learnt some differences, especially on the submission end.

I have some amendments I feel are worth mentioning:

FurAffinity

FA’s tagging system is limited; you cannot use spaces within a tag else the characters typed afterwards get counted as a separated tag. For instance “Snow Leopard” would become “Snow” and “Leopard”, resulting in artists joining words together which is ugly. Other art sites have addressed this problem, though I can’t remember which.

Inkbunny

Inkbunny doesn't seem to be making any changes, but it hardly needs any.

I was under the impression a lot of updates take place on Inkbunny relative to FA snail pace schedule of fixes. At least it felt like that in the early days. What would be the criteria to judge whether enough changes are happening? The last bunch of fixes were a fortnight ago.

SoFurry

SoFurry allows you to quick preview an image by hovering your mouse over a thumbnail.

On top of having writer friendly features also has reader friendly features. You can hide the sidebar, narrow the content and inverse the colours so you have light text against a dark background (which can be friendly on the eyes instead of having a lot of light beaming out).

SoFurry also includes several applications, including an app for browsing on Android Mobile Phones natively.

Inkbunny & SoFurry API

Inkbunny and SoFurry both have public APIs that can be used by developers to create applications that draw in data from their respective websites. Not immediately useful to most people, though there’s cool potential behind it and also displays an attitude of openness when they allow developer-friendly features.

Weasyl

Weasyl's website is built on the principle of responsively design, that means the layout of the website changes depending on the screen (or browser) dimensions it is viewed on. In other words it is optimised for viewing on mobile phones compared to the other 3 furry art galleries.

Sustainability

Might also be worth comparing how the sites are funded. FA and SoFurry take advertisement revenue. I presume all 4 furry art galleries accept donations. I think it’s the case that FA can make money off affiliate links if users opt-in, not sure if that is the case anymore. It’s something I feel is worth addressing as users ought to be aware of the strategies each site use to stay alive.

The Safety Prance [music video]

Fursday - Watch List - Sat 4 Jan 2014 - 06:20

A remarkably well reworked version of The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats. Initially I thought it was the original. Fantastic way of celebrating your furry convention.

A parody music video made as a tribute to the song The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats. This was filmed over the course of 3-4 hours at Furnal Equinox 2013 with a whole load of fursuiters.

When you're not in a furry setting, do you ever still have or wear things that display your furry side in public?

Furry Reddit - Fri 3 Jan 2014 - 23:11

I used to have dog ears on my kayak helmet, which I miss - but I changed helmets and couldn't find a good way to attach them to the new one. I've worn my wolf Spirit Hood out a few times. I kinda wish I had some things that would identify me as a furry to other furries, but wouldn't really stand out to non-furs.

Do you display your furriness somehow?

What would you pay for my Art?

Furry Reddit - Fri 3 Jan 2014 - 20:44

Hey! I've been in the community for less than three months, so I'm not really up to touch with what the standard prices are for commissions etc.

So as the title said, what do you think would be an appropriate amount of money to charge for my drawings?

Author: Fred Amid Amidi reports on the Cartoon Brew website that China’s first CGI feature, the 70-minute Boonie Bears: Homeward Journey, is coming to the U.S. on January 6. Didn’t China already produce a CGI feature, 2011’s Kung Fu Panda ripoff Legend of a Rabbit? Apparently nobody wants to talk about that. (Totalitarian nations are […]
