Posted something in LoLgaymers, but looking more for furs really. Just a couple of new friends would be cool, or if you're part of a regular group, I'd be down ^

I'm not yet 30 (25) but I'm getting there. Not the best, but it's more about the camaraderie for me. Definitely open to suggestions/tips though. I like to think of myself as casually competetive, lol.

Author: Micah M.C.A. Hogarth is running a Kickstarter campaign to launch her new web comic “The Three Jaguars,” a comedic slice-of-life about the intersection of art and business. Prizes include cameos, product advertisements (drawn by the artist), original art and postcards. The Kickstarter is currently 194% funded, and is running for only 2 weeks. Prizes [...]

Basically, I'm 14, I don't have any means to provide the money to the artists for commissions, I can't draw, and I also flat out don't have any money.

I've decided that I would like to have some art of my Fursona done, and since I can't provide money, or art, I'm going to try my best to provide Literature!

I figured out a sort of tiered system based on page count versus art type. I.E. Lineart, Flat Color, Shaded, Etc.

• 1-2 Pages Lineart
• 3-4 Pages Flat Color W/O Background
• 5-6 Pages Flat Color With Background
• 7-8 Pages Shaded W/O Background
• 9+ Pages Shaded With Background

I AM Flexible On My Tiers! Leave a Comment If You're Interested.

Hero-U, the creation of longtime Sierra developers Corey and Lori Cole, successfully reached its kickstarter goal of $400,000 as of 8am Mountain time on November 11th. The Coles, who created the Quest For Glory franchise, are the latest developers to join what is being called the 'Sierra Renaissance'- the return of legendary Sierra developers thanks to the crowd-funding resources of Kickstarter. Interestingly enough, the "Renaissance" was spurred by an ex-Lucasarts designer, Tim Schafer (Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge and Day of the Tentacle) who achieved unprecedented success through his kickstarter. Former Sierra employees were quick to use Kickstarter to reach to their fanbases-- Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight), Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry), Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe (Space Quest) have all successfully reconnected with their fanbases and funded successful projects. With the return of the Coles, all of Sierra's past representative franchise designers are now back on the scene- with the exception of Sierra founders Ken and Roberta Williams (creators of the King's Quest  and Laura Bow series), who have expressed no desire as of yet to come out of retirement.

More information on Hero-U can be found at The Hero-U Website.

Also reaching its successful funding goal was Star Citizen, a space trading and combat simulator game for the PC by Chris Roberts. Roberts is a video game designer, programmer, film producer and film director best known for creating the Wing Commander series (which featured an anthropomorphic tiger race known as the 'Kilrathi') while working at Origin. Star Citizen is now on open beta and more information can be found at the game's website.

Bird that plays fetch! Or something like that. A music teacher with many talents finds a bird with a strange catch. A camera. We also talk about a tree that some say just isn’t right for Christmas.

Stuff we mentioned:

• Click! Bird retrieves lost camera from lake
• Christmas tree Not Christmas-y enough?

I live out in Southern California and live a pretty normal life (26 years old working a solid job, live in a well kept apartment, have courteous friends, pay the bills on time), and I avoid meeting other furries out here because of bad past experiences. I won't name the meetups I visited out of respect for them and their regulars; but needless to say, their habits curved way outside the social norm to the point that it was uncomfortable to hang out with them. For example, wearing ears and tails in public, boisterously discussing topics that are best left in the bedroom, and a few people lacking a good sense of personal hygiene.

While I don't challenge your right to live life the way you please, these aren't the people I'd like to associate myself with in my free time. I'd love to have more "furry" friends, but because of the vast definition of what being a "furry" means, I'd like to say I'm looking for friends who consider themselves "closet furries." Somebody I can just chill with, without needing to discuss anything relating to the fandom, just knowing that I can relate to you on a different level than others. So is there anyone else out there in the SoCal area who can relate? Even if you're not in California and just want to make a new friend, I'm down with that too, just shoot a message to this throwaway account and I'll get it eventually.

I don't really have a story for my fursona, but as far as I know it would be fairly original. I am not sure on all the details and I would probably have to work with an artist to get a better idea of what I was looking for. The basis is like a minotaur with wolverine accents. Like a bull head with wolverine teeth and mane. Not sure about colors or patterns yet, let alone a standard outfit he would wear.

Are there examples of people describing their fursonas for ref sheets anywhere so I could get a better idea of what I should be supplying when I finally do find an artist I want to work with that is doing commissions? Frankly my artistic talents are beyond lacking, but would it help to try and make some sketches to give some very rough ideas? Considering this is fairly different I want to make it as easy as I can on the artist to get my idea correct and detailed so all they would have to do is draw. Any advice welcome.

So there is this series called “Swat Katz” which was produced in 1994-1995 and yeah I watched it. But, it seems lots of other furries did too.Recently I was contacted to post about this fandom site. Many furries want the series to get rebooted and I agree. I think it might come out like “thunder cats” and have a good out come. Check out the facebook page and join for support to the cause. If they get enough peeps then it’s possible the creator will start it up again.

My boyfriend is a vector artist. I was just trying to see who would be interested in these. He's thinking about opening up for commissions. Here's an icon he did for me: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9281572/

So if you DO care about the art shows winners for MFF 2012, just so you can see who made top of the line. Of course this does not mean that there are still some amazing artists out there who deserve a special thanks. I find some artists just do not want to be as big, but do an AMAZING job at their work. But , without further delay MFF2012 winner’s list: Midwest FurFest and the staff of the Art Show would like to thank all of the artists who displayed their work with us and all of the attendees who bid on the art in the show. And a special thanks goes out to those of you who took the time to vote on your favorite art piece. The Art Show Award winners this year are: Amber Hill/Vantid – Her piece “Sea Wolves” won the “Best In Show” award chosen by you guys, the attendees.
Our Guest of Honor, Jennifer Miller/Nambroth won the “Artists’ Choice” award (which was voted on by the artists themselves) with the piece “A Special Kind of Blue”.
Kellic Lamphere/Plaguedog’s piece “Silver Fox” won the “Chairman’s Choice” award.
And Jeff Beedon /D.Bruin won the “Director’s Choice” award for his charcoal “Lion Portrait”.

All 4 award winners received a plaque for their accomplishment and will also have a rollover basic membership for Midwest FurFest 2013!

In addition, the Art Show Staff also awarded ribbons for “Staff Picks” — each staff member chose one piece that they felt deserved some special recognition. The winners of the “Staff Picks” were:
Amber Hill/Vantid
Chris Dame
Stephanie Lynn
Ruben Avila
Sandra SanTara
Sarah Clemens
Foxfeather Zenkova
and Rebecca Frey/BushyCat

Congratulations to all of the winners, and thanks once again to all of the artists!
