Fur fun in video and photo – gypsy bears and Chewbacca’s sex roar. NEWSDUMP (12/21/15)

Dogpatch Press - Mon 21 Dec 2015 - 10:26

Headlines, links and little stories to make your tail wag.  Guest posts welcome. Tips: patch.ofurr@gmail.com

Midwest Furfest 2015 – More than 5,000 gather in Chicago. (Via Furrymedia.)

The International Business Times has tons of great fursuit photos. You may find a few more in a slideshow from the same Reuters photographer. Enjoy a con video from Vox Fox and a music video from Kiba Wolf.

New from Culturally F’d: Post Furry, and Furries In The News!

Arrkay share the Furries In The News youtube playlist:

This week we have something very fun and special on Culturally F’d. We’ve made a playlist of furry mentions in local news. To frame each video, the F’d team put on their best local news outfits and introduce them alongside nonsensical anthro headlines (written largely in part by Patch O’Furr of Dogpatch.press and otherwise improvised). 6 videos total, plus 5 news clips from broadcast television.

Coca-Cola Polar Bear suit – by Jim Henson Creature Workshop.  Shared by Tempe O’Kun on FurAffinity (see another dance video there.)

Foxy Bingo – commercial mascot suit has amazing animatronic facial expressions. (Also thanks to Tempe.)

Wookie Sex Line commercial.  The Dorkly blog wrote about “Chewbacca’s sex roar.”

Animal headed gods, a man transforms into a crow, and furry mutants…

They’re all related to the cinematic creativity of Alex Proyas.  He got famous as director of 1994’s cult movie The Crow.  Also see my piece uncovering his lost project, Freak’s Amour, that could have been the coolest post-nuclear mutant movie ever – except it was canceled by misfortune.  The Crow was influential on comic-book movies for a long time after, but for the past decade his career seemed kind of in a slump.  Now, his $140-million budget movie Gods Of Egypt is coming in February.  Check the trailer and see what you think. (It looks like Gods Of Overcooked CGI to me.)

Romania’s Dancing Bears (via Culturally F’d.)

The New York Times Lens photojournalism blog covers a tradition in the Trotus Valley of Romania.  It originated with the Romani people (also known by pejorative word Gypsies).  Bear-costumed performers “descended on homes every holiday season to chase away any bad spirits from the previous year.”  Says the photojournalist, Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi:

“I’m so happy to have done this,” she said. “There were so many times I wanted to put my camera down, put on a bearskin and join them. It’s really magical, like going into a fairy tale.”

Updated e621 bash script

Furry Reddit - Mon 21 Dec 2015 - 08:04

Hey guys,

A while ago, /u/BASH_SCRIPTS_FOR_YOU posted a great little bash script that bulk downloads from e621.

I found it a few days ago and found that e621 had changed their website a bit, and that the script had broken! :(

I took this as a good time to lean bash scripting for myself, and a few hours later, this little guy was born!

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Auscale/e6.sh/master/e6.sh

It's using the e621 API, which was a first for me, but it should make it a touch faster than the original.

The documentation included is reasonable, but just in case you need a quick-start guide:

  • Check out the script on github and make sure there's nothing nasty in there. If you're not sure, check with someone. You should never run random scripts off the internet (Thanks /u/ArgentStonecutter)
  • Make yourself a directory to run it out of, as it will attempt to scan every folder that it's placed with.
  • Download the script, for example using curl:

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Auscale/e6.sh/master/e6.sh > e6.sh
  • Make it executable:

    chmod +x e6.sh
  • Check out the help page:

    ./e6.sh --help
  • Give it a whirl! For example:

    ./e6.sh feline Please enter your tag string for directory: ./feline female feline rating:s score:>50

I believe you can also use Cygwin to run this on Windows, but I've never tried it, so YMMV.

I'm always around if you have any questions or suggestions, but it might take me a day or so to get back to you.

Enjoy!

Et here's a Roleplay thread, keep it clean and don't be shy :)

Furry Reddit - Mon 21 Dec 2015 - 07:43

I'm not sure how this is gonna work, if it will be one chain or what but here goes.

I wave you all in to follow me, leading you through my home where you can see all kinds of food and drink scattered about ready to be eaten, the house is quiet for now and I smile at you Hey welcome, have fun eating and drinking whatever you want, there's an indoor pool back here and you can feel free to use the TV or the consoles. Have fun, and don't touch my computer. I say, strolling down a hallway into a large chlorine smelling room with a 10 foot deep pool stretching back about 6 yards. I go into a changing room and now the guests may decide how to spend their time.

EDIT: If this works out I may do more of this, if you want start a thread and leave your thoughts. I know that some fursona's are not compatible with the party setting so expect others.

A warmongering alien race starts attacking Earth. Diplomacy has been tried and has failed. What will your fursona do to combat the oncoming horde?

Furry Reddit - Mon 21 Dec 2015 - 07:12

What weapon will your fursona use, what would their style of attacking be and what would be one special ability that they could use to thin the alien ranks?

I look forward to hearing your answers, Troops! Tally-Ho!

Worse Than Paparazzi!

In-Fur-Nation - Mon 21 Dec 2015 - 02:36

Papercutz (home of Geronimo Stilton and family, of course) have a new full-color graphic novel out in trade paperback called Scarlett: Star on the Run. Here, we’ll let them describe it: “Scarlett is a small, harlequin-colored cat and a huge movie star. And what’s more—she talks! However, abused by her producer, she dreams of but one thing: escaping! So, when the occasion presents itself, she runs for her life. In the company of Trotter, a dog who’s escaped the same torment, she is taken in by Mr. Bougnon. But with the noose getting tighter, will they manage to elude their terrible pursuers?” We’ll soon find out! Written and illustrated by Jon Buller and Susan Schade, Scarlett is on the shelves now. Oh, and check out the review over at Kidsreads.com.

Hi all! What's your favorite thing to do during the holiday season?

Furry Reddit - Sun 20 Dec 2015 - 20:07

I will try to respond to everybody here! Let's talk! :D

I usually play video games, write code, and drink tons of coffee with festive creamer! I also love to read and admire the slowly falling snow outside my window, it's so peaceful!
