Desperately looking for a few commissions before Christmas!

Furry Reddit - Mon 2 Dec 2013 - 02:06

Hey, /r/furry; I haven't posted in a while, but I'm in dire need of a reputable (decent) artist to commission for a couple reference sheets and one scene illustration. I know that this is probably not the best place to be looking, but my ties with the fandom have been frayed over the past few years, and I'm not familiar with most of your go-to artists for commissions. My parameters are simply that I need it done by Christmas, and I need to keep it to $200 at the most. If that's asking too much, however, I would also settle for just one reference sheet along with the scene illustration, provided that the artist could draw the other character based off of a detailed description. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

What is a furry?

Furry Reddit - Mon 2 Dec 2013 - 01:02

Ok to start this off,... I am a part of the furry and know what a furry is. But i want to ask you fellow furs a few questions. I'm writing a more intellectual paper (not for a class but for fun) titled 'What is a furry' and I wanted your guy's input. I plan to overview a great many things ranging from views, makeup and what we do as a fandom. Please give thoughtful responses and not a simple sentence. I'm trying to spark debate.

  1. Why do you think mass media hates furries so much?
  2. What more than expressing yourself (the part that's a furry) make you like the furry fandom, as in... What do you think seperates you from other fandoms beyond the obvious.
  3. What would you define someone who is 'furry' as?
  4. [Without reading anyone else's] How do you think the fandom defines one as a furry?
  5. Fursona's. How do they apply to you? In my mind a fursona is a identity of myself depicted as a furry. kind of like a different personallity but more unified. How do some people have multiple fursonas? I mean what's the point? I personally don't have a fursona although I am young in the community I'm sure that will change. That fursona that is /u/NJM_fur is to hard to see in the dark of hte closet. (reffering to closet furrys not sexuality [I'm straight])

I'm going to bed for now. I'll check back tomorrow.

Getting started

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 23:48

I have a friend who is a furry, and know a few others. My question is this. How does one get started? How do you decide on a costume or character? I doubt I could afford some of the fancy rigs I saw people wearing at Pandoracon a couple months ago, but I was impressed with the different looks. How does one learn about the lifestyle?

Also, is there a difference between furry and anthro polymorph?

Furries for an TV Interview?

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 23:30

Hi Guys, Just hoping to get your advice here. I'm a TV producer wanting to find a Furry for an interview about the Furry culture. I've seen a lot of commentary about TV shows generally 'not getting it' and not doing Furries justice. Do you have any suggestions on the best places to find a Furry (US based) willing to be interviewed, but who also will represent you the way you want? Thanks in advance for any help!

Mans’ Best Friend, After Man

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 22:30

When humans’ time is through, what will our companion animals do? Well, one version of events might be what we see in Garth Ennis’ new full-color 6-issue mini-series, Rover Red Charlie. “When a worldwide epidemic suddenly rids the Earth of all humans, what happens to man’s best friend?  Garth Ennis – the master wordsmith of Preacher and Crossed – delivers a story like no other, as a band of canines set out to survive on their own for the first time. This is the story of three best friends at the end of the World.   Charlie was a helper dog and he was good at getting his feeders safely around.  Now he and his pals Rover and Red must escape the failing New York City and find their way in this new order.  Ennis applies his incredible talent for creating rich and complex characters to a whole new species, with this shockingly original tale that is fully painted by Michael Dipascale. ” It’s due this month from Avatar Press. Check out the interview with Michael Dipascale over at Bleeding Cool.

Hey, a somewhat new addition to the furry fandom here.

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 22:20

So like I've slowly found myself being consumed by the furry fandom, while looking up fursuit tutorials for a jiginka cosplay I'm working on. Anyway, I made a fursona, but I can decide on an animal I got my inspiration from, to make my species on FA. I was wondering, is it possible to say or fursona's species is a pokemon (that's prey much where I got e inspiration from)?

Fursuit Materials [HELP]

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 21:58

So I'm making a gijinka costume, and I'm making it with fursuit characteristics. (First time doing anything close to a fursuit) does anyone know what type of foam I need for digitigrade padding, and foot paws. Also does anyone know where I could buy that foam in Manhattan or in the 5 boroughs?

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 21:57

Miss xBatsy on FA is currently doing Christmas icons for $10, and they are absolutely adorable! Unfortunately, she's not doing to well, and I thought it would be a nice surprise to show her this little shout out! You can find her info here!

Thanks for your help!

Hey /r/furry, I know you get posts like this all the time, but I'm a new furry and I'd just thought I'd say hi and a couple questions.

Furry Reddit - Sun 1 Dec 2013 - 19:18

Hey, my name is Mack, and I am an arctic fox. I have been following the subreddit for a little while, and seeing everyone's content has really just made me become part of the fandom, and so here I am posting this. I found out about the fandom through looking at YouTube and the whole fursuiting thing and I really liked it, so I delved in a little bit more and really found a place which I could call home. .^

So, anyway, I have just got a couple questions to find out some more about this and the best way to start up.

  1. How is the best way to start? When I mean start, do I start a FA or a dA or what? I am horrible at drawing but I write stories and blogs, so where is the best medium to do that?

  2. (This is the dreaded question, feel free to ban me) How is the best way to tell my parents? My parents are not religious or super strict, but tbey like to know what I am doing and all, so how is the best way to approach it? I know the basics, don't say anything crude or the ill-dreaded CSI episode. Is the best way to approach it by saying "I found a new hobby (x), it's called the Furry Fandom, and it's people using creative things like Storytelling, Drawing, Art and Costume to express themselves." Best way to approach it as a young person, or keep it 'in the closet' until I escape?

And last, I would really wanna make some good friends with you guys! I am lonely at the moment with no friends, so would you like to help a fox out in need? ;)

Anyway, thanks guys, and sorry if I don't make sense, it's 1a.m in the morning, and I thought it was time to break out of my shell and say hi!

Mackfox .^
