Figured I'd post this here for more visibility. If this isn't okay here, I apologize. Text copied from original post:

Hey guys! I'm trying to clear some space in my apartment, and one of the things I've just held onto for too long is my old Intuos3. I haven't used this bad boy seriously in about 5 years. It's banged up (crack in the clear plastic, pen is taped up, no clue what happened to the mouse) but works last time I checked. It would be good for any of you guys wanting to try out digital art without spending a lot of money.

What's the catch?

There's no catch, really! All I ask is that you not already own a tablet and pay shipping (around $20 for continental US). I am posting this with the intent to send this tablet to someone just starting out with digital media.

I'm posting this here because, well, I want it to go to a good home and try to help somebody out who's just learning. If this post isn't okay in this sub, I apologize.

Hello, my fellow fuzzbutts. I'm... actually pretty terrible at introducing myself, so I think I'll allow my fursona to do introductions.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tigras, and my human's name is... well... that's not important right now. Long story short, he's basically been a furry since he even really knew that the community was a thing, but was always too shy to actually come out and admit it publically.

As for me? I'm a hybrid of a wolf and fox. (A folf, I guess?) I'm fiercely loyal and protective of my friends, but tend to shy away from strangers. I could say more, but I think I'll open it up for you guys to ask me, or my human, anything you want about us. We'll probably answer just about everything.

OH! And before I forgot, my human mentioned wanting to draw me one day, but doesn't have a lick of talent when it comes to doing so. Any suggestions for places to start?

Anyways, the floor is open to you guys. Also, free floofy hugs upon request! (Edit: Kind of shocked nobody's taking me up on the free floofy hugs, but... oh well.)

Edit2: Oh right, my human also wanted to mention his steam name is "Argus Mercs", in case anybody wants to be friends."

From Humanoids, Inc comes Izuna, a new full-color hardcover graphic novel Bruno Letizia, Saverio Tenuta, and Carita Lupatelli. “Since the dawn of time, the Izuna Wolves have been the protectors of the Sacred Tree. They fiercely oppose the Noggo demons, maintaining an invisible boundary between the human world and the spirit. However, the mysterious birth of a wolf cub in the shape of a young girl threatens to upset this delicate balance. Letzia’s lyrical script expands Tenuta’s rich universe of The Legends of the Scarlet Blades, while Lupattelli’s delicately painted art is the work of a star in the ascendant.” No prizes for guessing: Similar legends inspired Hayao Miyazaki’s well-known work Princess Mononoke. You can find out more over at the Humanoids, Inc. web site.

Untamed Playing Cards

Kickstarter ending 2/5/16
Okay, I’m torn. I want to talk about this nice little playing card project, it’s got great lines and amusingly sturdy characters. But I really want to talk about the project creator, Fek, who has had remarkable success with crowdfunding in the last few weeks. What to lead with? Um…um…Here’s a picture of the Jack of Diamonds. Hold onto it while I ramble about the creator.

Fek, who is some sort of giant cat thing, is one of those talented artist-types who’s managed to build enough of a supportive fan base to make a living wage through Patreon.

Friends, the world is a dark place. There are terrorists, and computer hackers, and Kardashians. It is proof that there is still a little magic left in this century that an artist can make a living wage without necessarily churning out hundreds of commissions. Good on you, Fek!

I wasn’t familiar with Fek’s work until a week or so ago, when I found him in my weekly review of Indiegogo projects. He had a pretty typical ask, “help me upgrade my system so I can develop more, better, animated porn games.” He wasn’t even offering rewards, it was pure artist support. The campaign—it’s still running, BTW—has been quite successful, and there’s still a month on the clock. Amazing! He’s way into stretch goals now.

I’ve been reading Indiegogo for almost three years now, and I have never seen a project video with as much sex as Fek’s video has. It’s massively blurred, granted, but there are some gyrations, jiggling, and thrusts going on there. Always fun to see the boundaries being pressed…

It cannot be entirely surprising that Fek’s mighty empire is based heavily on porn. He’s got a number of flash games on FA and other sites, you can glance over them on his homepage, interactive flash sexy-sex sextime toys.

Okay, enough already, let’s talk cards :)

“Untamed” is a more or less standard set of poker cards, informed by tarot, history, and historical costumes. The suits—spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs—are tied to their corresponding tarot suits (swords, cups, coins, staffs), and some of their related associations—coins, for instance, are associated with industry in the tarot, and the royalty on the court cards in Untamed comes from the rising business class, traders all. Swords are all African species, and all warriors. There’s even a little esoteric symbolism woven into the aces themselves.

Serious card purists may have some trouble with this deck, there are some very minor differences between the “Untamed” artwork and a standard French/Bicycle deck (for instance, the King of Diamonds usually has an axe.) None of this is deal-breaky, but if you whip your “Untamed” deck out at Vegas you might get looks. There are a LOT of card deck projects on Kickstarter, and some of them have been judged on how closely they match the standard deck. Casual players and art fans won’t notice a thing.

Overall, this seems like a low-risk product. While you can get a Your Character Here card at the highest backer level, it’s an additional card, not a change to the set itself. It looks like the art is largely complete, this is primarily a preorder-type campaign to lower print costs to a manageable level.

This is a nice, slick furry card deck. The illustrations are sharp and clean with a no-nonsense style (well, except for the hyena, he’s kind of comedy relief) that feels like modern comic book art. It’s not a playful deck, only the hyena Jack of Spades cracks a smile, but it well fits the mood of the poker table.

I know that the fandom is going crazy for Zootopia, but I feel like it may be bad for our fandom in the long run... It gets our fandom known, but is that really such a good thing? It could introduce hundreds of new people to the fandom and they may not have the same hospitality and concern for others that we do. I look forward to the movie, and I enjoy the fact that it involves furries (and focuses on them more than anything), but I am scared. Anyone with similar thoughts in the comments?
