Realizing this my be something I am into.

Furry Reddit - Thu 23 Apr 2015 - 22:19

Hello, so recently I have been realizing that I may be into the fandom. After getting into anime and realizing how awesome anthropomorphic characters are. I will admit I used to be hesitant of the fan base but after meeting countless great people at cons and realizing how wrong I was. What should I know about getting into this fandom?

Looking for that one piece of art with two realistic canines in street clothes.

It's pretty iconic in this fandom and I've seen it everywhere. Two realistic anthro canines in cool clothes standing by each other. Sorry if I'm not specific enough XD

Looking for GTA V (PC) furs

Furry Reddit - Thu 23 Apr 2015 - 20:57

I'm just looking for some online fur-friends to join me in GTA V. I'm sick of playing the game alone and waiting for randoms to do missions and heists. I figured, why not go to the friendliest group of people on the internet, the furries! Social Club: MochaPunkTrash Steam Name: MochaPunkTrash

What is your favorite kind of commission?

Furry Reddit - Thu 23 Apr 2015 - 17:05

Take this as you will, I'm leaving the question very open ended for a reason. It could be method, style, something normal like a ref sheet as opposed to something different like bookmarks, whatever.

Just what appeals to you in commissions?

Meet the Club: The furries

Furries In The Media - Thu 23 Apr 2015 - 12:20

Here, dated April 20, is a brief article in The Washtenaw Voice, the student newspaper of Washtenaw Community College (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA):

http://www.washtenawvoice.com/2015/04/20/meet-the-club-the-furries/

The article contains interviews with local furries Andrew Cook, Wesley "Alister" Wafter-Turner, and Matthew Gleason.

Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are well-beloved cartoon characters seen on TV and in movies, but few might know that they are known as “anthropomorphic animal characters.”

Anthropomorphic characters, while not being human, act as humans and share physical attributes with humans that their animal counterparts do not have.

A fan of anthropomorphic characters is known as a furry, Andrew Cook, of Chelsea, explained.

Every Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m., Cook meets with fellow furries in TI 116 for the Furry Club where they do crafts or play games, like Cards Against Humanity.

“I thought (the club) wouldn’t go, but it had gone further than I expected,” Wesley Wafter-Turner, the club’s president, explained.

Wafter-Turner founded the club in the 2014 winter semester because he wanted a place for furries to meet and where others can learn more about the fandom. The club now has about 10 members, Wafter-Turner said.

Some furry members identified themselves as a character based on their personality, Cook explained.

The character is known as a “fursona,” a furry persona, according to Wafter-Turner.

“It’s a way of expressing yourself,” Wafter-Turner said. His fursona is a red wolf named Alister. Wafter-Turner identifies with the wolf’s pack mentality and leadership qualities.

A fursona can also be a hybrid, as Matthew Gleason, a 32-year-old WCC student in the automotive program, has a tiger-husky fursona.

Gleason grew up with Disney and other anthropomorphic animal characters, which is where his interest started.

“I always view animals as being more human than most humans,” Gleason said. He explained that when someone adopts a pet from the shelter and brings it home, the pet is more accepting of a person than a human that is not related.
