Kaze: Return of the Tiger
Kaze comes to Screen, Window, Kickstarter
PITTSBURG, July 4 – Ten years after Ghost Warrior, award-winning animator Emily Amadhia Albee celebrated Kaze’s anniversary with two big announcements: plans for an animated action/drama Kaze television series scheduled for 2015 release, and an illustrated radio drama prequel series, “Winds of Change,” debuting in the fall of 2014.
The original film Kaze: Ghost Warrior was an experimental animated short feature released in 2004. The film, a fantasy/action story set a land inspired by feudal Japan, introduced Kaze, a noble tiger warrior looking for a foe from his past. Amadhia Albee created the film to show what a single, dedicated artist could create on a tight timeline and budget: the Ghost Warrior 22-minute animated short was created in six months with only $5,000, with Albee filling all roles, including writer, director, animator, voices, and sound effects and musical score. Albee recently released the Kaze animated film on Youtube to recognize the film’s 10th anniversary.
Albee revealed the two new Kaze projects at her “Kaze: A Retrospective” panel at Anthrocon 2014, launching the kickstarter for her upcoming prequel project, “Winds of Change.” The “Winds of Change” radio drama is a collaborative project with co-writer D.C. King, composer/pianist/keyboardist Fox Amoore, and a troupe of voice actors. “Winds of Change” will be produced by Albee’s new company, KGW Entertainment.
The full “Winds of Change” series is expected to be a 12-16 episode, illustrated audio drama exploring Kaze’s world, his history, and the romance and betrayal leading up to the Ghost Warrior film. Early episodes will feature illustrations by Alector Fencer, Balaa, Bloodhound Omega, and Thornwolf, depending on backer response.
Albee’s other big announcement was a return to animation, requested by fans since the original film’s launch. The Kaze animated series, to be produced by Declaration Pictures Inc., is scheduled for preproduction in Fall, 2014, with episodes in full production in early 2015. Kelly Lee Myers, Declaration Pictures president, said of the Kaze project, “The series will be cutting edge in terms of the technology use to bring Kaze to life, and so will the story-lines and characters. This is not going to be a kids’ show by any means. Our intention is to make it as hard-hitting and gritty as any live-action action/drama on TV today…”
Myers will be heading up development of the Kaze series, with Amadhia Albee as Creative Consultant.
Funding for the “Winds of Change” audio drama series on Kickstarter continues through August 4.

First art of my character, Lux the Otter :3
Furries who are currently dating a non-fur: How does it affect your relationship?
I'm sure we've had this conversation before, but I've recently attained relationship level serious and it's made me curious to what others' experiences have been like. My boyfriend thinks it's all in good fun, and I helped him to make a character that he actually sort of likes. But he doesn't get into the community at all, and he certainly doesn't get into the art (so to speak).
So, even though he's not a furry, my interest in the fandom doesn't really affect our relationship. I'm maybe not as "furry" as I could be, but that isn't a super big deal to me. I'm curious as to what other people have experienced.

Need help with character design and possibly ref sheet
This might be a strange request.
So, I've got a dragon(Something between anthro and feral) character with some stuff like basic outlines and colors and I need someone who knows how to create aesthetically pleasing characters with good color palette and so on.
I want to make a few tweaks and I need a person to evaluate them in case I do something silly. Just a fresh look from outside of my head, you know. Like /r/fashionadvice but for character.
Also I would appreciate if you link me some artists(Or you are artist yourself) with reasonable prices. Don't need anything too fancy.
Thanks!

How do you deal with these artists?
I have a couple of artists I am waiting on for art.. (one being free so that one I'm not soo much annoyed about) but, how do you guys feel when your waiting for a commission and the artists keep posting personal art they are doing? Do you say something? Wait? I myself do commission's and just find this behavior rather weird and somewhat rude after waiting a while for said piece for over 2 weeks.

DOOD! Re-designing my Fursona. Need an artist!
Hey guys, I'm Midas Maeus! Currently I use a jerboa as my species. That's changing as of..... Now. Yeah, now. Bam. No longer a jerboa. You know what I'm thinking? Rats. Rats are cool. Yeah, that's what I'm going with.
So. What I suppose I am looking for is an artist that's willing to put up with some slight shade of pickiness, that works relatively cheap (Under $35) and will make a full reference sheet. Any takers?
Also..... not sure if this is the right subreddit for this post.

Are you bored as I am? Come watch and share some random videos with other furries (RIP synchtube)
Is This Guy "The One"? Maybe, But This Furry Is Pressuring Himself Too Much to Decide
So I've been friends with at least two furs here in my town, and one of them recently introduced me to another one, named Rahne. I met him a few days ago, and after we goofed around a bit, we started fooling around. He had said that he was looking for "friends with benefits" and I was cool with that, even though I had mentioned that I have been single for 5 give months now.
Well, recently (as in a few days ago), he asked what I looked for in mate. I told him, and he nodded. He's been wanting to hang out as much as possible. And I always feel a bit uncomfortable about it. Mainly because I've been trying to balance work, family and friends. But I'm not sure if he's considered dating me.
I mean, he's nice, sweet, funny, hot, and a gamer like me. But I keep getting nervous when he asks to hang out more and such. I'm not sure if he is "the One,” but I'm scared that the more I let nervousness take hold, that I'll just push him away. How do I get over my nervousness so that I can enjoy my time with him?

Dear Jesse,
Have you explored why you are nervous? It can’t be because this is your first relationship, since you’re 21 and implied you have been in relationships before. So, my guess, though you don’t say it, is that you have been burned in earlier relationships and now you’re gun shy.
Based solely on what you’ve written here, this guy seems like a pretty good match for you. You share interests, he’s nice, and you find him physically attractive. In my book, those are the Big Three: good personality, compatibility, and physical desirability. What more could you want?
To get over your nervousness, you must explore what it is about a relationship that scares you. Are you afraid of failing at it? Are you afraid of being hurt? Are you, after five month, simply not ready, emotionally and mentally, for a new serious relationship and need a little more time for yourself? If the latter, I can understand that. You might just not be ready yet, which is okay. Don’t rush into things and, if the new guy starts to press you, explain to him that you aren’t prepared for that yet.
If it is a matter of being afraid, this is psychologically understandable, too. However, if you ever wish to have another committed relationship again in your life, you’ll need to overcome this. You can start by realizing that just because you had a bad experience before doesn’t guarantee you will again. You need to give the new guy a chance to prove himself.
A common mistake when people get into relationships is moving too fast. For example, leaping into bed or saying “I love you” before you really feel it deep inside. (Although, judging by your agreement to be friends with benefits, it sounds like you already had sex—a faux pas in my opinion, if that has occurred already; how far did the "fooling around" go?). Even so, just because this guy has an interest in you doesn’t mean you have to commit to something right away. Go slowly. Have a few friendly one-on-one dates in public places before moving to a more intimate setting, like your home (where have you been "hanging out"?) Don’t freak yourself out by asking yourself if he’s “The One.” Don’t put yourself on some artificial deadline that you must decide what your status will be right now. He might the one; he might not be. There’s no hurry to find out. Chill a bit and don’t psych yourself out. Enjoy the ride before you get to the destination.
Good luck!

So, I'm new to this *chuckles*
Hi everyone! So, I have been interested in the furry community for a while now, my best friend is one and I really like the community he talks to and they seem really interesting. I wanted to give it a try, seeing as I have thought of myself as an animal before (a dog or a fox :> ) and I really like the thought. I'm really new to this so I am not sure I am even going about this right! Anyways, I wanted to introduce myself and hopefully meet some really cool people!
