I used to think that furries were disgusting. I thought that all of them got off to inappropriate drawings of animal humanoids and I thought that was gross. I considered anyone who was a furry to be a special snowflake misanthropist.

Today I talked to an open furry for hours. He had given me a link to this YouTube video when trying to bring up a discussion about music with me (he couldn't however; he didn't know I was deaf before we had this conversation). I had looked at the picture on the video. I asked if it was a horse. He told me it was a skunk and badger hybrid. I had to ask him why it wasn't drawn in a sexually suggestive way.

This was when I realized that furry-ness (what do you guys call it?) is not a fetish. We had talked about it and he said they are fursonas, which I guessed were furry personas. He said he had his own. He had a wolf for a fursona. He asked me, "If you were an animal, which one would you be?" I told him I'd be a bunny rabbit. He said if I wanted to make a fursona, I should draw one, and make it however I like. With any colour or hair or clothes...

I decided to try and draw one on Paint.NET (please don't laugh) but it is nothing like a furry's drawing. I had not drawn one before and I was using only a mouse. And I didn't realized how small it was until I zoomed out! I showed him it and he liked it, even though it has a mullet and looks evil. He had explained to me that furries don't always wank to nude pictures of anthromorphic animals and that many furries enjoy drawing those pictures and so on. I was okay with it then. I thought it was cool but I wouldn't draw more. But that's because I'm horrible at it.

So, I'm sorry for being a closed-minded person before. I take all the things I've thought about you guys prior to this back.

See, the advantage of the realistic animal is that you'd be able to go outside of your own house without freaking anyone out, but the advantage of your fursona is that, well, it's your fursona.

After having read the webcomic Furthia High and getting caught up to the current comic in less then 3 hours I'm looking for a few other furry webcomics that I don't know about!

SFW preferred :P

Edit: I'll check out all the one posted on here! And thank you all for giving me suggestions!

The woman in charge of casting for the show has done shows before for the network, and this means any hope of it being on some unknown station is down the drain. If this happens everybody will know about furries.

I want to make mine look more like my fursona, but how do I do such when I don't have the object textures?

I’ve been an [adjective][species] contributor since early 2012, and I’m proud to have participated in the site’s growth and success over the last two years.

I’d like to pitch my two cents into the second birthday celebration. I think of myself as a fan of [a][s] first and a contributor second; and so I’d like to revisit some of my favourite articles.

This is a very short list of four articles that I love. None are from the last six months, so hopefully a few people will be introduced to them for the first time. And for those of us who have been following the site for some time, all these articles are worth reading and rereading again.

Makyo’s Kaddish by Makyo, published 21 March 2012

Makyo is a generous and lyrical writer, and this article is one of the best. Makyo calls it a ‘fluff post’ in the introduction, but nothing could be further from the truth. This is a personal story of Makyo’s relationship with furry, touching on personal growth, disenfranchisement and reconciliation, and the feedback between personal identity and community experience.

The article is framed by a beautiful metaphor: the ebbs and flows of Leonard Bernstein’s interpretation of the Mourner’s Kaddish, a Jewish prayer. Makyo starts with early, youthful impressions of furry and ends up by registering adjectivespecies.com: a site that was originally envisioned as “a snarky, burned fur website” (!). To think that Makyo transitioned from that sort of cynicism to become the author of this furry love letter in six months or so is kinda magical.

Art and Money by Makyo, published 11 July 2012

This is one of the first [adjective][species] explorations of one of the most fraught relationships in the furry community: that between artist and client.

Our community is one that we create ourselves. Our art is created by furries, for furries, and the more talented artists find their time and skills in great demand. But how does an artist value their own time? Is furry art too expensive or too cheap? Should the richest furries have special access to the best artists? How does an artist pay the rent?

Makyo wrote this article after interviewing several artists. The research shows: the article is balanced, insightful, and surprising.

Birds of a Feather by Rabbit, published 16 February 2013

Phil Geusz, writing for [adjective][species] as Rabbit, imagines a hypothetical: “Will we, someday, become culturally distinct enough from mainstream society to form a neighborhood or our own somewhere?”

Phil is one of furry’s best speculative fiction writers, and he tackles his hypothetical with his trademark lucidity. He doesn’t deal in abstract comments; he is a writer of ideas. And so he explores the preconditions that might lead to the founding of a real-world furry district, and how that district might function.

Like Phil’s fiction, Birds of a Feather is transporting. The premise is tangible and enchanting. Nowadays, when I walk around some declining corner of an old city, I think about how it might look if it were adopted en masse by thousands of furries. And I smile.

Whiskey Sour by Lunostophiles, published 25 April 2013

Here’s an apple among the oranges: a poem.

Luno’s poem arrived in my email inbox while I was sitting in an airport lounge: wearing a suit, answering work emails, sipping on some insipid too-hot coffee. I started reading the sharp and colourful lines and was jolted from the mundane world.

Whiskey Sour loosely follows a long evening of drinking and socializing at a furry convention. Luno’s lines are celebratory, nostalgic, extreme, faltering, juvenile, regretful, fleeting.

Whiskey Sour is a terrific work of art. It should be performed and celebrated at furry conventions around the world. It should win a 2013 Ursa Major.

"Furries" were on Storage Wars.
Nobody has mentioned it here or are we just going to ignore this and hope it goes away?

I have been trying to draw a fursona for weeks upon weeks but to no avail my art skills suck. Does anyone have a tips for making a male tiger, something like Flora from Two Kinds but in male form? The main things I have trouble with are facial structure, hair, and body structure. Flora isn't the reason I want my fursona to be a tiger, that was just for reference. I really love the look of anthro tigers.
