Edit 2: Chronicles of my tablet pen: nib somehow flings across the room and is nowhere to be found, I make a replacement nib out of mechanical pencil lead stuffed into the socket, that breaks and now i cannot retrieve the lead in the socket, rendering my pen useless. I may get a replacement Thursday. Sorry my tomodachis

Relationship with a fur friend
Link to our decision our decision
So I have a really good and interesting relationship with a friend. We are both guys furs so we pretty much understand each other very well. We've known each other for about 3 months or so now and we are really deep. We first started being alright with hugging each other, then it went to cuddling, and now were ok with kissing/making out with each other. We don't want to consider ourselves as a couple or friends with benefits. We're not gay but we just have a profound love for each other. So what is our relationship?

Polished Polar Bear Sketch (From 2 Weeks Ago)
Hi, I'm NOT new to the fandom, but I AM retrying my hand at drawing art again.
As the title says, I've been here (not on /r/furry, but FA, e621, etc. (As a watcher)) for a little over 4 years now (started my FA account 10/8/2010!), and I've seen a lot of stuff I like, found stuff I like, found some artists I could even say I admire, etc.
I got a card from one of the people I watch on FA, and it's recently inspired me to start trying again on the art side.
"1 is dont give up, you are going to suck for a while, and you will naturally cling onto things like not wanting to erase or not want to start over if the progression you have is bad. You will many times need to totally destroy your style to fix things, this will take a very long time, but just try to enjoy the path not the ending.
2 Dont trace, its never worth it, but however do use refs, and or copy parts you like or you wanna learn how to do. drawing the same thing over and over helps build muscle memory and gets you better. That said once you are better at something go for something else. Dont hide stuff too much or just refuse to draw it, cause later it will really bite you and keep you weak in that area.
3 Look for tips and the like from other places like books videos and people, but in the end its the doing and doing over and over that really lets you be able to do the drawing. Try to think of thing in a 3d setting, understand how a thing is from all angles, and if you think that way you will be able to over come one of the hardest aspects of drawing.
Once you get handles on certain things more specific advice can be given, but the most important thing to know is it takes time and doing it."
This is the advice I got from the guy who sent out the cards, and I think it really hits home what new artists should be doing. Especially the part about not tracing, and extensively using refs and copying parts (for practice.)
Now, I'm pretty open minded, or at least I try; I would like to hear what the people of /r/furry have to say as advice to a newbie in training when it comes to art.
Thanks again!

Fursona Naming Tips?
I'm fairly new to participating in the furry fandom, maybe a year or so. I've started coming up with a Fursona since I'll be attending the Califur con this year and have a costume (not a fursuit) as well. I chose raccoon as my species for a variety of different reasons. Finishing details on appearance and personality so she/I need a name. I'm not asking anyone to name me but just some tips because I've felt a little lost. I have a name in the cosplay world but probably want to keep those separate. Maybe an example? I did some Googling but I always prefer a person's opinion or advice directly. :) Thanks. waves paw

Furries Say They Aren't A Fetish, They're A Community, And They're Ready To Be Taken Seriously
You're all freaks
Anthro Art Freebies!~
SORRY EVERYONE, CLOSED! I got such a response!! It'd be neat to do some Reddit-exclusive offers in the future, thanks for looking! :V
Original post:
Hi all, I'd like to do a couple of warm up sketches, so if you comment on my Weasyl (and, I'm sorry, ONLY on Weasyl, though I'm happy to chat here!) you could get one! I can't make any guarantees but I'll probably do a few (or several) tonight.
Hope you enjoy my work, regardless!

Question about furry sites and possible sub reddits
Why don't sites like SoFurry, FurAffinity, InkBunny, and F-List have sub reddits? Must they be made by those sites or can a common user make one? I ask because with how easy it is to talk on reddit I would figure it would help these sites with discussion issues in a way which is fairly easy and public.

Anybody have Netflix?
If you do, and you haven't already out of your own boredom, check out Bojack Horseman. It's a crude comedy cartoon and the main character is a horse, and a lot of the minor and background characters are anthromorphic animals as well. I love it myself, it's almost like a reality with just being the norm, AND the main plot isn't about the fact that there is 'furries' in society; which I also really like because the animals are just a normal thing to people. Also all the 'furries' aren't just cats and wolves: they put all kinds of animals that in the furry fandom kinda seem like don't get much attention or popularity which I hope other people in the fandom could appreciate too :3
Cheers and belly rubs!

Not strictly speaking furry but still cute - Japanese Kaiketsu Zorori franchise plush toy!
With so many introduction posts today, I may as well throw mine in the mix.
Hello Fellow Furries... try saying that 5 times fast. My name is Sterling, some call me Archer, fair warning: I tend to ramble so I will put a TLDR at the bottom. So a little about myself I am a 19 year old bisexual male and my fursona is a wolf. I don't actually know how long I have been a furry, I started out creeping deviantart in my early teens and found out I really like anthro art. I got more and more into it but never looked around at the possibility of a community until a few months ago. I had created a few generic fursonas for the purpose of story writing but it wasn't untill a few weeks ago that I started on MY fursona, still working out the all the details. I can't draw anything but I love to write and I love hugs so as soon as I am able to, I will put together my own fursuit so that I may start my quest. In the meantime I have never RP'd before but I would like to give it a try if anyone would care to RP with me. P.S. If anyone would just like to chat, about anything, my ears are always open.
TLDR: I'm here, I'm queer, and I'm huggy. let's RP.
Edit: I just realized I forgot to mention this, it isn't important but this is sharing time, absolutely no-one irl knows I am a furry.

I never introduced myself, but I think a lot of you know me at this point.
Hello, the name is Sareii. About three weeks ago I suddenly popped into existence on this sub, commenting and posting, but I've been lurking for two or three months.
I'm in my 23rd winter, one of those rare straight ladies in the fandom (I actually didn't know we were a predominantly male community until recently). How long have I been a furry? I dunno to be honest, since it was a bumpy road of being confused about the whole thing. I've been friends with furries, though, since 2008 so I've been acquainted for a while. I finally considered myself one about the time I found my mate, who is by some dumb stroke of luck, a furry as well. We're both in the closet offline though.
You've seen me around, I draw a lot. A lot. I went to college for animation, but once I graduated I turned away from getting a job in the industry. So now I draw dragons and furries. My life is grand, folks.
I play a lot of league, including running two art blogs for a couple of the characters. I'm also heavily addicted to a game called Endless Legends. Pokemon is love, pokemon is life.
Most importantly, feel free to talk to me. I think I've made my point in how often I comment: I enjoy socializing in here.
Edit: I tried deleting and resubmitting with a different tag besides discussion, but I guess mobile doesn't let me do that. Sorry it's tagged as such...DISCUSS AWAY or something like that.

Obligatory Hello Post!
Hi all! I'm Vivaldist Sanguine, a 19 year old male in Chicago currently at university to get their degree in Biology, and have been a furry for about 5 years. My fursona has been drawn by a friend of mine, Lindsey Strauss, and as of yesterday also by ZergTDG.
I've hung around mostly on the Tumblr and FA communities for furries, so while I'm not new to the fandom, I am new to this particular subreddit. Would love to talk to and meet new furs! Feel free to message me here, or on skype (vivaldist.sanguine).

Late introduction
Hello there
It was more than month since I'm active on that subreddit and and I haven't really introduced myself at all, so there I go!
I'm 16 years old male probably bi from Moscow, Russia, some people call me Rat some call me Ratnik which stands for "warrior" in russian so feel free to call me whatever you want. Also, my real name is Anton Zabolotin, so you may call me Anton too.
I found out that I am a furry when I first found that fandom out which happened to be when I was 5-or-so years old so I don't really remember how that happened now. I'm also huge EDM lover (first thing I heard was Darude - Sandstormnojokes when I was 3-or-so) and I don't really listen to anything but maybe some rock (like Alt-J rock) and metal, but really rare. I am a huge gamer who enjoys probably everything except CoD, maybe something else. And a huge role playing guy also.
I already have my fursona ready except for his backstory (25%-ish done) and art references but I'm working on that, at least I'm trying to improve my drawing skills so I could create a headshot at least.
As for contributing to the community, I can create stories, all other things as art, music and modeling is to come but probably in a year or so, I'm just learning those stuff
I guess this is it I wanted to tell about me. Have a good day and happy upcoming New Year!
