Guild News: May 2015
Welcome to our newest members Sean Cleary/Gödel Fishbreath, John Van Stry, and Bill Kieffer!
Member NewsThe furry site [adjective][species] published their first poetry feature in April, including works from several of our members and forum friends. Well worth a read, even if you think you’re not into poetry — you just might be surprised. (We also have a new poetry section in our forums.)
Several of our members also have stories and poems up on QuarterReads, a site offering flash fiction and poetry for just 25 cents a read. See this thread for more info.
Eduardo Soliz recently released Super-Short Sci-Fi Stories 2.8, available for just 99 cents at Amazon and other fine digital bookstores, and Donald Jacob Uitvlugt‘s “To Sail the Winds of Song” is online at Another Dimension. Patrick “Bahumat” Rochefort’s “From Winter’s Ashes” continued with Chapter 2.1.
In book news, Friday’s first book Learning to Go will be available very soon from Jaffa Books, Weasel’s Cigarette Burns is now available from Kool Kids Press, and Austen Crowder’s second novel The Painted Cat is available for pre-order from FurPlanet. Congrats, everyone!

Had a Pinup created by Miss Scythe :D - NSFW
Without our own light, we can see everything.
Only for the Baddest Cats
Bad Katz is “… a San Diego-based company that sells premium 100% organic, pesticide-free catnip cat toys. We launched the Bad Katz brand in the late summer of 2014 and we are going to take that boring cat toy aisle by storm!” All well and good, but what caught our eye is their toony advertising art! Bad Katz have hooked up with a local San Diego artist to create a whole line of original cartoon cats (and a dog) to decorate their hand-crafted catnip bags. According to them they just might produce some original comic strips with the characters on their web site, and maybe even some character clothing for humans in the future. But for the moment, only your pet kitty gets in on the fun. Literally!

I usually draw stuff that's cute, and black & white. Here's something I did years back that's very, very different. [NSFW - Gore]
How do i draw my 'Sona?
Just figured out that I am a Furry. Now what? Do I need to draw my lupine form?
I must learn the ways of my people!
Also, this totally explains why I seem to be the only person who notices eyebrows on dogs.

u/introintroduction inspired me to try my hand at pixel art for the first time in 2 years! It's simple but it's something.
My friend made me my first ref sheet! <3
The things that change over time =u=
Being an anthro would really suck.
You wouldn't be able to have a kid except with your own species.

My art progress since January 2015 [NSFW]
So I started drawing in January 2015 and this is my progress so far! There's still a lot of errors and kinks I need to work out, but I think I've improved a bit at the very least. Also upgraded to digital! Still a long way to go, but I think I've made a pretty good start.
