Author: Sonious Hell Yeah! is a bloody, grotesque platformer, with an animalish avatar licensed by Sega. Kind makes me wonder if this was the result of a run in by Sonic Team and the group that created the gore-fest known as Madworld. You play as the Prince of Hell, who just so happens to be [...]

I normally stay away from Holiday movies, mostly because a film that’s contingent on your enjoyment of whatever celebration is happening that month tends to not hold up for very long (with a few rare exceptions). But Rise of the Guardians is less a Holiday movie than a fairy tale story. It’s not about the spirit of Christmas, or the less exciting spirit of Easter. It’s about how Santa and the Easter Bunny will beat the shit out of any jerk who tries to scare kids, and isn’t that the real meaning of the Holidays?*

William Joyce (a name that appeared regularly on my bookshelf as a kid), weaves a new mythology, creating a Superfriends of childhood make believe. The Tooth Fairy becomes a collector of precious memories, Sandman an enigmatic mute who makes good dreams. And Santa Claus… who is still just Santa, but a bit more leather-daddy (Where Mrs. Clause at, St Nick?).

But let’s be honest here, readers, you’re all interested in Hugh Jackman as the Easter Bunny. What’s funny is that he’s actually one of the least interesting characters in the film. Sure, he’s funny, and arguably studly, but he gets outshined by the more developed characters, like the Tooth Fairy. The story is really about Jack Frost, though, and the rest of the cast serves as reasons to teach Jack about his purpose while they travel around the world and have huge swooping montages through each Guardian’s home base. Structurally, Legends of the Guardians feels more like a three part TV series arc, more than a film.

While it’s nice to have an animated family film that isn’t about mommy/daddy issues, the message of “don’t be afraid of the Boogieman” is weaker than most animated features these days. Still, Jack Frost manages to be a likable, if not very relatable, character. And, really, it’s nice to see something done with that character that isn’t, “Hey I’m freaky looking and I make shit cold.”

You’ve got to hand it to DreamWorks, they’ve really stepped up the animation quality over the years, and Rise of the Guardians features some gorgeous shots, especially with the liquidy magic sand creatures used by both sides.

Rise of the Guardians comes out as one of the more exciting animated films this year, in a year of “pretty good” movies from all the respective companies.

*I’m being informed that no, it is not.

I became very interested, maybe even found a passionate curiousity in the fandom, but perhaps as just an onlooker a best thanks to the magic that is internet forums; But the thing that I loved to do was to think alot about why people get into bieng a furry, and what it was all about.

Wanting to learn more, I eventually travelled to Canada, to go on a certain Furry Camp called Camp Feral they have each year. Im from Australia, and it was a long trip, but I enjoyed meeting and talking to all kinds of people.

The things I love most was the idea of having a Fursona, like a sort of strange totem! I allways like the people who gave very interesting reasons for picking the various things about them, and wearing thier little badges, or tails and ears, for the fun of it, its very silly, but somehow very endearing, and a fair few of them I connected with, and they had some very open minded and interesting ideas, for the most part.

I believe that the minute you start to say, 'Furry is like this!' or 'Furry is not like this!' or 'Ill defend this silly hobby lifestyle thing to the death!' is when you start to run into problems. If people don't understand why someone would spend hours making thier beloved character creations, then they can choose to learn more, or choose not to, but for the most part, being a furry is because you want to be around like minded people and thats the whole point.

Anyone of sound mind would understand it is very silly, by its nature. It requires an active imagination, and not hubris, or predjudice. And hating on furries, to me seems not only stupid, but kind of pointless. Furries arent a creed, or a lifestyle, or anything like that, the only thing common among furries, is how different they seem to be.

Its a bunch of people getting together talking and doing something that they love. Does it have to be more complicated then that? You cant shove tails and ears down someones throat. It just doesnt work.

So Reddit, I just want to ask if you guys think I have the right Idea about it, simply because this has been keeping me up at night, for a very long time, and Id really like to put it to bed, so that I can just go back to enjoying doing furry stuff, and less thinking critically about it.

Does this Auzzie fox have a good understanding, and can I stop thinking about this? >.<

EDIT: Edited to get to the point!

Sorry to be spammy at all, but it seems this is something people are doing here for a short time. I seem to be having some issues with my Intuos 4 tablet. The drivers keep crashing and I'd need to re-download them nearly every time I want to use my tablet. it's really frustrating. I can get it to run for a while but after not using it for a few hours, it just stops working.

It's maybe not the most urgent, but it's kind of making me not want to draw when my tablet keeps breaking. :I Please, do me a favor and tell anyone who has been wanting to buy a commission from someone to check me out. I really need the money. I'd like to buy something for myself for a change instead of depending on my mom or dad. I'm not sure how much I'll need, and I know this art sure isn't gonna buy the whole thing, but it should help. I still have a small amount from other commissions.

I want to raise some money so I can purchase myself a new one. Probably not even the same kind. So, having a Buy One Get One Half-Off sale!

Commission Prices and examples http://box-of-chalk.deviantart.com/art/Commission-Prices-292930680

Sketch: $5

Lineart: $7

Flat Color: $9

Color+Shade: $12

Optional Background: $3

Character Design: $8

Once again, sorry if anyone is upset by this. I just don't have enough publicity to make any more than one sale, so i thought i'd ask you all. If you buy anything, just send me a personal message and I'll tell you where to send money.

TL;DR: I need money to buy a tablet that isn't broken. Buy one get one half off commissions.
