You may have seen me around, and I guess i'll join the trend of new people posts. I'm a 17 yr old guy who just likes games and anthros. I've always enjoyed furries but never really was part of the community till about a few weeks back. I don't currently have a sona, maybe i'll get one in the future. Feel free to AMA.

Oh, and i know this will be asked.

Name: cooljay167 (feel free to call me that) Quest: To see some epic art. Favourite color: Pearl white.

Anyone else here like me? A terrible artist and an even worse writer who really wishes to find a way to add to the community more. Edit: thanks to all those who commented for making me realize like I have a bigger role than I though I did

It doesn't matter if you love the snow or playing fetch

Just put your paws up

'Cause you were born this way, puppy

My mama told me when I was young We are all born superstars She licked my coat and put my collar on In the warmth of her doghouse

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' the cold and snow She said, 'cause He made you perfect, pup So perk your ears up, girl and you'll go far Listen to me when I say I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right dog path, puppy I was born this way

Don't hide your bones in regret Just love yourself and you're set I'm on the right track, puppy I was born this way, born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, puppy, I was born this way Puppy, I was born this way

Here is an article in The Ball State Daily News, the student newspaper of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana:
http://www.ballstatedaily.com/article/2015/11/news-anthropomorphic-art-society

The article looks at the university's Anthropomorphic Art Society, with comments from society president Stephen Vogel, and Allyssa Burdine.


The community and bonding that Ball State's Anthropomorphic Art Society provides is more important than the costumes they may wear, said the organization's president.

Ball State’s Anthropomorphic Art Society (AAS) focuses on the appreciation of art styles concerning anthropomorphized animals—animals with human characteristics such as being able to talk and having human emotions. However, Stephen Vogel, the president and a senior Japanese major, said what is more important is the bonding the organization experiences.

“The main purpose of the group is to bring together individuals with a common interest, give a safe and comfortable environment where these individuals can meet others with similar interest and have discussions,” Vogel said in an email.

Ball State AAS meets Thursdays at 9 p.m. in the Forum Room in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center.

Ball State AAS was officially started in Spring 2010. Members, who may also be referred to as “furries,” get together to discuss various aspects of anthropomorphic art, including crafting and how to act as a “fursuiter.” Fursuits are animal-based costumes ranging from “simple tails and ears to full costumes with mechanical/electronic components,” according to WikiFur, an offset of Wikipedia dedicated to the furry community.

Dressing in suits is just one segment of the furry community, and not something everyone involved in the group chooses to do. Ball State AAS meetings include discussions based on topics related to the community such as conventions and anthropomorphism in media. The group hosts activities such as drawing tutorials, game nights and movie viewings.

"The meetings aim to be an open-floor discussion with a topic just to get conversation going. We try to avoid it becoming a lecture," Vogel said. "This coming meeting, we are showing short animation clips with anthropomorphic art followed by any discussion of the clips."

Ball State is one of only two college anthropomorphic societies in the state, Vogel said. Appreciation groups aren't limited to college campuses such as Ball State and Purdue University, where the other group is located. Similar groups are formed in local areas where individuals can meet up and discuss their common interest.

Vogel stressed that while the furry community may be misunderstood, people should recognize that it is just one part of a person’s personality.

“A lot of people tend to feel uncomfortable around people that they know are ‘furries,’” Vogel said. “But really...they are just normal humans who have a different interest than other people.”

Allyssa Burdine, a freshman biology major, had always had an interest in anthropomorphic art and joined the group after meeting them at the activities fair this fall. She said she enjoys having a group of friends who share her passion.

“When I found a group of people here on campus that shared a common interest with me I knew I wanted to find out more about the club and everything they stood for,” Burdine said. “To anyone who doesn't understand the club, what I think they should take away is the idea that we are much like a family and it is a way for people with a common interest to come together and have a good time playing games and learning more about each other and anthropomorphic art.”

Today's "totally-not-late-because-I-was-playing-fallout-4" question:

What is the most significant thing your ‘sona has been a part of?

EDIT: 2 SPOTS REMAINING.

Hi!

Every heard of Minecraft? No? Then why are you here? :P

I've recently discovered that I'm quite decent at and have taken an interest in making furry skins, so I could use some practice. The first 3 people to request a skin will get a Minecraft skin of their fursona!

I'll need a picture of your 'sona for a reference. A picture of just the head won't do. Full reference sheets are preferred. And non-picture descriptions just won't cut it.

I will NOT, under ANY circumstances, use a reference that is NSFW in any way!!

I only know how to do wolves, dogs and foxes, so anything other than that I won't do. :s

I reserve the right to refuse to make you a skin.

Skins I've done:

My fursona, Tariff. No reference used. I don't have one. cri. Fursona by me.

Tokala. Reference by Netheta. Fursona by Finnish Tokala

Toya. Reference by Kevsky. Fursona by Toya Spirit

I didn't make the clothes on the skins, I just copy/pasted them and retextured them. Credit to this guy for that.

People who's skins I used for inspiration: mairoknee and SolusWolfie
