A small community website for taur furs, revolving around their IRC chatroom.

In their words

Taurs and non-taurforms alike are seen to be lounging and talking, playing and laughing, cuddling and snoozing. This is a calm place where the daily grind is left behind. Let yourself go...

Not your usual stuffed bear

Fursday - Reading List - Thu 19 Dec 2013 - 10:03

via designboom:

New York-based artist deborah simon walks the line between taxidermy and toy, fabricating a series of faux-bear sculptures that materialize their vulnerability to human-initiated adversity. the three species are meticulously crafted from clay, imitation fur, and embroidery tools, and hold near perfect proportions and facial likenesses to their living counterparts. influenced by the evolutionary process and biological classifications, simon crafts an embellished coat for each species — wearing it rather than their own — ornamented with intricate organ systems hand-stitched to their exterior.

via io9:

My work walks the line between taxidermy, toy and sculpture. Each animal is meticulously fabricated to create an unnervingly accurate but slightly off version of the natural animal. Evolution has always held a particular fascination for me, informing how I create and group the animals in my work. As I've read and dug through museum collections to research my pieces, western science's mania for labeling, codifying and collecting has stood out. Most of this categorizing bears little resemblance to how animals and plants exist out in the natural world and I find this disconnect fascinating.

Adult-comedy animation “BoJack Horseman” slated for mid-2014

Fursday - Reading List - Thu 19 Dec 2013 - 09:48
SF31491.jpeg

Essentially one of those comedies about a has-been actor trying to get back into the industry; in this instance their gimmick is that the actor is a horse. The lead character is voiced by Will Arnett of Arrested Development fame and will be distributed on streaming video service Netflix.

I’m a big fan of Netflix because they represent the future of where the entertainment industry is going. They are working on a lot of original content including animations for children, so we could be seeing a lot more programming of interest to furs in the future.

Edit:

BoJack Horseman is being animated by ShadowMachine, the same studio that does the claymation for Robot Chicken. [Source: The Next Web]

Making of “The Bear & The Hare” John Lewis Advert

Fursday - Watch List - Thu 19 Dec 2013 - 09:38

I had initially thought it was just a traditional hand drawn animation composed against a physical set when in fact it was almost somewhere between a stop-motion and hand drawn animation.

Why go to the extra length? Perhaps for the shadows you might not so easily re-produce on the computer, or maybe for the sheer hell of it, nevertheless I am impressed by the labour of love.

Making of film directed by Jake & Josh
jakeandjosh.co.uk

The Bear & the Hare is the first John Lewis campaign to embrace the emotive power of animation, a filmic technique so evocative of Christmasses gone by.

Elliot and Yves took the two most traditional and time-honoured animation processes – stop-motion and traditional hand-drawn 2D animation – and combined them to create something innovative and unique. Their aim was to do almost everything in camera, using real lighting, lens and film craft to build a world where the audience can see and feel the painstaking work behind it. The 2D animation’s physical interaction with the set and the human imperfections inherent in the process create a hand-crafted piece full of heart and integrity.

The animation process involved constant shifts between 2D and 3D worlds. In order to achieve this complicated combination the whole film was first created in Blinkink Studios as a 3D previsualisation animatic with all the sets and characters built to scale. This allowed everything to be developed and planned alongside the modelmakers and animators, thus integrating the different disciplines and processes before the set was built or the characters were printed.

Aaron Blaise (Brother Bear, The Lion King, Mulan) and his team of veteran Disney animators at Premise Entertainment in Orlando, Florida, designed and animated the characters. The 2D-animation frames were printed onto mounted paper and cut with a laser. Each frame (nearly 4,000 in total) was then individually hand-labelled before going on set. Feature-film stop-frame animators then spent 6 weeks bringing the world to life.

The set was built by our production designer John Lee (Aliens, Fantastic Mr Fox, Frankenweenie) and his team at Shepperton Studios before being transported to Clapham Road Studios ready for the stop-motion shoot.

Post-production was done in-house in Blinkink’s animation studio, and the final grade was completed at MPC.

You might encounter killer rabbits if you cut your cable

Fursday - Reading List - Thu 19 Dec 2013 - 08:33

In the first video, a man with a gaping hole in his chest (get it?) is bicycling on a road through the desert when he happens upon a little bunny he believes to be in need of his help. He gets off of his bicycle and approaches the seemingly cute and friendly rabbit. Upon closer inspection, we see that the rabbit actually has glowing red eyes and sharp, jagged teeth. The man doesn’t seem to care.

Then, the all too important question is asked: “Give ‘em cable” or “Cut ‘em loose?”

The cable cutter continues to embrace the bunny, and offers the small creature a ride on his bicycle. The rabbit then leaps up and latches on to the man’s neck, biting down and continuing to hold on despite the man’s struggles.

“And because he didn’t get the news,” a tablet tethered to a cactus reveals, “he didn’t know mutant bunnies were on the loose.”

Speaking as someone from the UK, I never quite get the situation in the US about cable. Still, my interest in linking to this is purely for how mind numbingly ridiculous this propaganda video is. And it features killer rabbits.

Mikenesses

Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors cartoonist Mike Holmes draws himself and his cat Ella in the style of different artists, mimicking and paying tribute to their signature aesthetics.

In their words

An art project I started in October 2011, Mikenesses is a series of self-portraits in the style of 100 different illustrators, animators and video games that have influenced me, or that I just really like. It became a sort of illustrated biography of the art that means something to me, and to a lot of artists.

Does Anyone Else Have Trouble Finding Role Playing Partners?

Furry Reddit - Wed 18 Dec 2013 - 22:25

I have. Its a strong possibility that /r/transformation, /r/dirtypenpals and /r/eroticpenpals are simply bad places to look, but I''ve consistently have had trouble finding any. Is it me? Probably. In my opinion, at least.

And to the coward who made an account for the simple act of flaming me:

Thank you. You're post, no matter how nasty, did open my eyes to my mistakes and unforgivable behavior. But if you believe that you''ve heard the last of me, you are dead. Wrong. Rather, I've taken the opportunity to repair the damage I have caused, and become a productive member of the internet.

The post of the process forums has been repurposed into a general discussion on transformation role play, rather than my own overblown personal add. It will remain that way with little to no changes be me.

My spam has been removed. No need to clutter up those subs, is their? And I am no longer interested in role-playing, as I am not particularly good at it, and it I not productive.

And creepy much? You stalked me across half the internet! I'm slightly more worried that you went through all that trouble to insult a stranger. And insulting my writing was both underhanded and not related to the problem at hand. But, I will take your advice and improve to the best of my ability.

Once again, I thank you for flaming me. Do you know what flame does to steel? It tempers it. Makes it stronger. I''ve been tempered, and I cannot thank you enough.
