Hello Papabear

I have read some of your letters and while my problem is nowhere near as big as some of the ones you help people with I hope you can help me.

In my collage class for the past two years there is a girl who I was with often as she knew I liked similar things. I myself am not a people person and prefer to be alone, but as the rest of the class found her 'too odd' or weird and I had been in a similar position when I was in younger schools I tried to put up with her and not get annoyed. 

This has gone on for two years where we would sit and talk about games and other things and I would always engage in the conversations. However she has decided not to go on to the third year of the course as its optional and will be dropping out.

My problem is she has given me her number asking me to ring so we can still meet up. As I said I am not good with people and besides my mate (he’s male I’m in a straight relationship) and to be honest I don’t want to as I know she will keep ringing me and asking me to hang out but now I feel bad for thinking these things. 

Rudger

* * *

Dear Rudger,

On the one paw, it was nice of you to befriend this person when no one else would, but now you are turning around and doing something quite cruel: you have misled this girl into thinking you were really her friend when you are not. By telling her—if you do so—that you don’t want her to call you because you’re not good with people or just don’t actually want her company, or whatever, you are teaching her that not only do most people not want to hang out with her but the people who pretend that they do are actually liars and she shouldn’t trust anyone anymore, even the ones who seem to extend a paw in friendship.

So, you “feel bad” about the  idea of telling her you don’t want to hang out anymore? You should. You want Papabear to give you a magic powder that will absolve you of your guilt? Better you should find a Catholic priest because Papabear doesn’t have any rosary beads on him.

Rudger, if you don’t want to be a sociable furry and would rather live and exist in isolation, that’s fine. Papabear passes no judgment on that. But what you are about to do is really hurt someone with false kindness, which, in a way, is worse than just hurting someone outright because it is dishonest.

Here are your options at this point: 1) since she’s no longer going to your school, you can simply ignore her and disappear like a sniveling coward; 2) you can tell her to her face what you have told me, which is at least honest, and tell her you are truly sorry but you just want to be by yourself and not socialize; or 3) you could actually try and remain this girl’s friend; after all, you said yourself you share some interests; you might even grow a bit and become a better person for doing so.

Papabear hopes you pick option 3.

Here is the concept piece for Eternal Twilight!:

Airship Battle Engine Concept (More recent than the test shown in the video above. Annotated, turn on Annotations!)

Also, The Basic Story, and World Writeup can now be found on the IndieGoGo Page, too!!!

It's a piece showing some very early work on the game. My partner didn't wanna show it, but, well, it's seriously better than 'No concept'.

You can check out the IndieGoGo here!: http://www.indiegogo.com/coonpawstudio

So.. we need help! By that I mean, I need folks to share it via the buttons on the IndieGoGo campaign at the top!

We also need folks to contribute. The Paypal is at about 94 dollars (This includes contributions and my partner's story commission work money.), almooost, but not quite 25% of what we need to meet the first goal! So please consider contributing if you can!

Thank you, r/Furry!

This is a Karma Free Self-Post!

For a couple months now, I've fully accepted that I am a furry. But, as the title says, I'm very closeted. I'm 17, and at this age, not a lot of people know what being a furry is really about. Most of my friends make fun of furries and say that they're terrible people. My family is very close-minded and would regard being a furry as a sin.

I'm scared to tell anyone because of what they might think. I mean, what if some of my friends don't want to be my friends anymore?

The thing is though that I really want to be open about who I am, especially to my friends. How do I tell everyone that I'm a furry?

Author: Squirrel We are young and strange. By tendency, at least, furries are non-conformists with many years ahead of them. That’s why the new health care law is a poison pill for our community. Right now there are people dangling “free” drugs and other medical care in front of us and promising there’s no cost; [...]

Author: Sonious Yesterday, Flayrah published the first article tagged as opinion where the topic’s relation to the furry fandom was particularly light. Many might even say non-existent.

How much should I charge for commissions?

I do badges or full page 11x18 full watercolor paintings. I am just breaking into commissions so I am unsure how much I should be charging really x__x;

Currently I'm doing about $10 a laminated watercolor badge with free shipping. Still not sure what to charge for a full page or if I should probably be charging more for a badge. The badges take me about 3-4 hours sketching, painting, drying, inking then doing fine detail work.

Here's some samples of my newest stuff.

I've been doing requests for a while and my art gets a lot of positive feedback. I've been told I should charge for them a couple times. but how do I know how much to charge? my style is toony and simplistic, I was thinking like 3.00-4.00? are there some kind of guidelines you can inform me of? thanks.

Including a lot of furry characters.

I tried out my fursona just to see what would happen and his second guess was "Your fursona."

Fun time-waster!
