Hybrid Issue
So I recently got a friend into the fandom and they like the idea of a wolf and cat hybrid. The problem is that they have no idea what that would look like. Is that a breed that someone has already made up so I could search it and find images of it for him?

Furries on a rollercoaster.
I'll just start out by saying that this is a dream I had last night that woke me up because I started laughing so much.
For whatever reason I was watching the news with my parents when they went into a segment about the top moments (think Sportscenter top 10) at some imaginary large fur con. Anyways I forget the earlier ones but the final and number 1 moment is when the rollercoaster comes into play. It began with a shot from the side of the two show hosts riding the front car of a rollercoaster. Then the camera moved slightly to reveal a large pink and purple striped rabbit fursuit stoicly riding in the car behind them, long fur and ears blowing in the wind. Then as the cars went over a large hill and began to go down the other side the shot moved showing about 16 or so suiters riding behind the show anchors. They were falling their arms around and being silly and their fur was blowing around like crazy.
It was at this point in my dream living room with my dream parents that they were probably wondering why I was laughing so much at the tv. This is also the point at which I woke myself up because I have never laughed so much in a dream before.
Anyways lots of text but thought I would share since I apparently found it funny. Hopefully others get at least a chuckle out of it too. Anyone else ever have a funny or ridiculous dream like this?

I need ideas, and fast.
I am drawing a total blank right now for the comic. Everyone, PM me any ideas for jokes you might have, and you'll be given plenty of credit. I'll probably save a few for later weeks, or come up with my own. But as of right now, I can't think of ANYTHING.

I made an anonymous poll about furries out of curiosity! The results will be posted on the subreddit when I have enough!
Yesterday I asked if anyone was interested in a poll, and people seemed to be, so here it is!
Some questions could be considered [NSFW].
Please only submit one response! (I don't know if there is any way to limit it... :/)
Disclaimer: I am in no way a professional Poll-maker so it might be pretty bad, but I strive to learn and improve! If the general response seems positive i might make another one later, but even better! :D
If I made some blatantly obvious mistake please don't hesitate to inform me!
Results will be posted when I feel I have received enough responses and will be available for your viewing pleasure in fancy graph form!
Exclamation points!! ^^
[edit1]: Added some things I forgot to this post
[edit2]: Really amazed at the number of responses! Statistics yeah!
[edit3]: 250 responses! :D

In the year 8510: Black Paw
When the world seems lost and mankind stands at the eve of destruction, the Gods give them…furries…
The year: unknowable.
The world as we know it has run its course. Humanity’s last gasp is the war–well, the first war, against Tiamat, a godlike force from beyond that brings with it giant city-destroying robots and complete devastation. When weapons fail, humanity turns to the gods, who answer in the form battle machines powered by holy energy: the Divine Golems.
And that is 250,000 years ago. Now, in a world shaped by strange magic, stranger technology, and divine will, animal folk inhabit a green and vibrant world. But that “green and vibrant” part once again attracts the attentions of Tiamat. With the looming threat of a second war, mortal power struggles–assassinations, political rivalries, court dramas–unfold–but will the people of this world get their mutual acts together in time to stave off destruction for another 250,000 years?
This is the scenario that plays out in Black Paw 1: Return of the Dragon, now kickstarting for a paperback release.
The world of Black Paw is a genre-blender mix of high tech and magic. It’s mecha-intensive; one of the principal artists launched the “Mecha Zone” kickstarter in 2011, and the world, with its god-powered golems and technodragon dark lords, is informed by both battle-robot anime and Kaiju. And there’s a fair bit of high fantasy as well–the military wades in with swords and axes, kitsune girls wield spiked fans, characters quest through the Astral Plane and heal through divine blessings. It’s a huge world, a complex world, and an ambitious world.
One thing that’s compelling for me about this project is that it’s total fandom service. You can see a few pages of the comic on the developer GleamingScythe’s FA page, it’s reasonably solid art. The characters are sometimes full-on half-animal anthros with muzzles and tails, sometimes more in the “cat girl” style of a few spare anthro features. One or two even have a strong cartoon vibe, almost superdeformed. The range is striking.
That being said, the Kickstarter itself is confusing, even incomprehensible. The project page comes across as a massive collection of images, not really meaningfully related to each other–motion videos of mecha, character sketches and high-quality pieces from artists that don’t seem to have anything to do with the project, commission opportunities from artists who, again, are from some other project entirely. The project’s description leads with not a write-up of the book, but a narrative of the tabletop role-playing game that led up to it (and it does feel like an RPG setting, kind of like Kickstarter darling Numenera), and about the project’s previous financial history. And it never becomes clearer, though there are a lot of nice pics.
Overall the experience of reading through the project is the informational equivalent of trying to operate one of those new touch-screen soda fountains with your eyes closed. Is this the rules to a tabletop game? Should I pledge here or go to Paypal? Am I supporting a film project or a book? Does the pretty naked person appear in the book, and will she look like that? Are there Kaiju? Can I play the gun-toting dingo in the base game? Am I getting this now, later, or only if I pay $1250? Help!
One place where the project’s Kickstarter page seems to be genuinely misleading, and maybe unintentionally since the page is terribly rambly, is on the issue of art. The general quality of the art (again, you can make up your own mind on Furaffinity) varies between “wow, that’s amazing!” and “eh, good enough for webcomic, I’ll bookmark it,” and it looks like the majority of the final product is the latter. In fairness, fandom-focused comics tend to fall into that category, most of us aren’t professionals, but a LOT of us are still creators, and that’s great! But in the context of a business proposal–and ultimately, that’s what a Kickstarter project is–it’d be good to know what you’re buying.

Righty-O!
Felix the Cat, the creation of Pat Sullivan and Otto Messmer, is perhaps one of the most famous and long-lived cartoon animals ever — pre-dating even Mickey Mouse. In the 1950′s, Joe Oriolo created a well-known series of cartoon shorts for Trans Lux Productions, which helped to bring Felix and his friends (and enemies!) to a new generation. Since the 1980′s, control of the “Felix Empire” has belonged to Joe’s son, Don Oriolo. Don has overseen the creation and distribution of Felix’s image on numerous products and in numerous media. Many of the images of Felix used for these were drawn and painted by Don himself. Now, IDW Publishing have collected Don Oriolo’s works together in a new full-color hardcover book, Felix the Cat Paintings. Check it out at Amazon, before it hits the shelves early next year. The book features a forward by comic book historian Craig Yoe, as well as essays from cartoon aficionados like Jerry Beck, Mark Evanier, David Gerstein, and Paul Castiglia.

Yo /r/furry, comment some art prompts for me to draw so I can practice
[[EDIT 2:40 pacific time: I'll put the ones I do into a separate post in a few days ]]
For those that don't know, my name is Kai and I'm a dumb bird/deer. I've posted here from time to time. I have time to kill for a week long Thanksgiving Break starting today, so I want to draw some stuff and mess around with my style. I'm not going to take really specific requests [like characters/OCs/whatever] but I'll try to draw from as many prompts as I can just for practice.
The main places I post my art are here:

Have an idea but I'm not sure how to go about it.
So I want to try and do a Tron themed series of images or even an animation involving my fursona. I already have an idea of what angles I would want to use...its just getting them from an idea to an actual product is the harder part from me. I only need help with one of the angles and that is the snout from the front or facing the viewer.
I hope I actually do get to do this because I have thinking about doing it for quite some time...
