Something Awesome: Catching up with comics

Marfed - Furry Comics - Wed 14 Oct 2015 - 11:29

This is something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while now. At first I was worried about revisiting certain comics or artists so soon after I’d first written about them. However I’ve always believed that it’s important to offer continued support and exposure rather than covering something once and leaving it to twist in the wind. So, here are three comics I’ve written about this year that need updated information or other small things that are interesting, but don’t necessarily warrant a full post in their own right.

“The roadside weeds became part of them”- Nonsense’s new home

If you’re looking for Francis Marshall’s comic Nonsense that I covered early this year, then it is indeed back and being updated regularly! The first arc is now complete with Marshal having gone back and redrawn the original handful of pages, with a few tweaks in the story. While it omits a character I talked about originally, it does make the story a lot more focused. Showing the effects of anxiety with an unmistakably dour British outlook, it’s definitely worth catching up on.

Be sure that you update your bookmarks as it now resides on it’s own tumblr rather that the site I originally listed. My previous pieces on Nonsense and the short comic Solstice can be found here and here.

“Something sensed but unseen”- Emily Rose Lambert’s extended Dreamscape

At the start of July I covered a small comic I became quite enamoured by, Emily Rose Lambert’s Dreamscape. In time for the Shake Bristol ‘zine fair last weekend Emily drew and printed an extended version, now eight pages long with a thick cardstock cover.

She was kind enough to send me a copy in the post this week along with a very touching note and a copy of her adorkable teeny-tiny mini comic, Feel Better. This cute little comic stars a melancholy elephant as he seeks the aid of others to, well, feel better. Both will soon be available, so keep an eye on Lambert’s site over the next few weeks.

“Heelface turn. Between the rowdy randles”- Wrestling with Rory Morris and J Bearhat’s new comic, Small Teeth

I have a tendency to over think the majority of my articles or go overboard and write way, way more than anyone would reasonably expect. So with the post about Rory Frances’ “Boys Are Slapstick” I wrote it over an hour one afternoon, said all I had to say about his comic and posted it before I had a chance to worry about it. The post has literally had more views than most of the other posts combined and has been viewed at least once a day since it was posted, go figure.

While I still intend to write about his longer ongoing comic, Big Teeth when he returns to it I’m still thoroughly enjoying the shorter comics he’s producing in the interim. Little Teeth is Frances’ latest comic scripted this time around by ‘zine maker J Bearhat. I’m reliably informed by Rory that the ‘teeth’ connection in the title is purely coincidental and the comics unrelated beyond featuring another cast loveable, anthropomorphic, unlucky in love slackers. Rendered in reds and blacks it’s another example of Morris’ eye-catching art style.

Yet another hypothetical situation post

Furry Reddit - Wed 14 Oct 2015 - 10:05

What would you do if for 24 hours, everyone was an anthropomorphic animal? Except, hold up, there's a twist!

This time, everyone wakes up as an anthro character ... except for furries! You and all of the other humans who consider ourselves "furries" are just normal humans. But all of the nonfurs in the world have become whatever animal corresponds to their personality. Now what?

Good morning, fuzzies!

Furry Reddit - Wed 14 Oct 2015 - 09:33

Rummy, resident hyena reporting in! How's everyone's day going? Anything neat or exciting going on with you guys today? Share!

I've only been up for about 20 minutes, but the only thing I have going on today is taking my car into the shop. Getting the rear rotors replaced, so it shouldn't take 'em too long. It'll be nice to not hear noises when driving anymore, but the work is going to tap me out financially, unfortunately. :c

Little Kitty Gets Bigger

In-Fur-Nation - Wed 14 Oct 2015 - 01:58

In case it slipped beneath your radar, Chi’s Sweet Home is a manga series created by Kanata Konami in 2004. “Chi is a mischievous newborn kitten who, while on a leisurely stroll with her family, finds herself lost. Overcome with loneliness she breaks into tears in a large park meadow, where she is rescued by a young boy named Yohei and his mother. The little kitty is then quickly and quietly whisked away into the warm and inviting Yamada apartment…where pets are strictly not permitted.” Vertical Comics licensed the manga for translation and distribution in the west. Now, they’ve released the first large-format collection in trade paperback. “Vertical’s most popular comic of all time, Chi’s Sweet Home, is now available in a larger format with brand new content! Hot on the heels of a new DVD release and the summer 2015 conclusion of its thirteen-year serialization, Chi’s Sweet Home gets a new deluxe release for new readers to dive into. The Complete Chi’s Sweet Home collects three volumes of this full-color all-ages adventure of Japan’s favorite kitten heroine – Chi! This new edition also features a brand new comic from Konami Kanata’s latest series in Japan – FukuFuku: Kitty Tales! This new release will feature new craft extras and a new story from the author.” Check it out over at Comic Book Realm.

Looking for a brush set for photoshop that is no longer on Deviantart.

Furry Reddit - Wed 14 Oct 2015 - 00:11

https://i1.wp.com/fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/154/7/6/fur_brush_pack_by_sullivan-d3hy8uk.png

Apparently, the artist was chased off the internet by people, or something. It's none of my business, so I don't really want to know. Unfortunately, I can't find the brush set anywhere, and I really enjoy fiddling with it for those few times a year I actually boot up Photoshop. They had actually sent me the Brush set twice, in 2012, and '13, but I think they've been lost in one of several PC reformats, and the links I was given are dead...

Back again to say we are looking for fellow furs to join in on a humble Skype group.

Furry Reddit - Tue 13 Oct 2015 - 22:57

Heya, Basu here and I wanted to toss out another advertisement for our humble little group of 18. It's not the chattiest of groups, but we want to fix that by seeing if anyone would be interested. It's a lax, really laid back group that pretty much runs itself, but there are a couple of things that need to be made known; I'd prefer if the lovely furs interested were 16 and older, and that no physical files be posted (Links are fine). If you have any questions at all, please feel free to PM me about them, or ask them inside this post. If interested in joining, simply PM me your skype username.

As always, it is a pleasure to meet you all!

/u/sploggs is finally opening commissions!

Furry Reddit - Tue 13 Oct 2015 - 22:25

I'm literally so excited about this, I'm gonna put the link in here TWICE (oh shit) so you know about all his fine ass options

FA Journal

INFO

TUMBLRRRR

I'm excited, but I'm not so excited that I would deny him the chance to post his stuff as a link post because that would be selfish of me, I just want him to have the best of luck and to have TOO many people asking for his glory.

The worst part is that I still might not get one because of financial tie-ups but I'll see if I can get my shit sorted out because YES.
