As we get closer to the summertime release of Marvel Comics’ Guardians of the Galaxy movie, we’re likely to see more and more of Rocket Raccoon — and his buddy Groot, the anthropomorphic tree. Next up: Marvel’s “first in-house original prose novel”, Rocket Raccoon and Groot Steal the Galaxy by Dan Abnett — one of the original creators of Guardians of the Galaxy in 2008. “Rocket Raccoon and the faithful Groot are the baddest heroes in the cosmos, and they’re on the run across the Marvel Universe! During a spaceport brawl, the infamous pair rescues an android Recorder from a pack of alien Badoons, Everyone in the galaxy, however, including the ruthless Kree Empire and the stalwart Nova Corps, seems to want that Recorder, who’s about as sane as a sandwich with no mustard.” Check out the interview with Mr. Abnett at Comic Book Resources, and check out Steal the Galaxy when it arrives in hardcover this July.

Lately, I've found myself unreasonably hesitant about speaking up around here. So I figured why not ask around for ways to "break the ice", and get conversations started for other new furries who might be too nervous to make that first step into the fandom? What's not to like about finding common ground with others, after all? (And if this has already been done, I'll gladly take it down.)

It's not like I'm just nervous about going to my first fur meet soon or anything like that.

I've noticed people have very different responses to this question and I was wondering curious as to the different methods people approach this with.

A lot have picked it as a spur of the moment thing with an animal they like, some have put a lot of effort into identifying traits they share with certain animals and deciding from there. Some see their fursona as an extension of their own experiences and personality, others create intricate backstories and histories for their characters and adopt different personalities for them.

Furfunding Week in Review 4-14-14

This week’s illustration is from the Kickstarter for the video game, RATS: Running out of Time!

A modest collection of new projects, though from what I’ve seen on Twitter, discussion is dominated by Armello, which is halfway to goal–can they make it, or is this the next high-profile furry crowdfunding fumble? Time will tell, but they’re off to an amazing start, with good marketing within and outside the fandom.

In my experience, I have absolutely no ability to “pick ‘em.” But it really does look like a nice product…

Reviews

New Projects

For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page and Patreon Page!

Art

Rukis on Patreon (Patreon Ongoing Funding)
Artist and graphic novel storyteller Rukis crowdfunds an upcoming adult project (and her ongoing artwork)

Books/Print

Pandamonium: Steampunk Panda Adventure (Ends: 6/10/2014)
An illustrated 100-page novel; in a world where grizzlies and polar bears fight endless war, where does a polar bear airship pirate captain stand? Where indeed…
Art by Patrick Scullin, check Kickstarter for preview copy of the book!

Costumes/Clothing

The Roars (Ends: 5/28/2014)
Stylized cat-ear headphones for bluetooth devices
Virtually no traffic here. I’m actually surprised they don’t have more funders, cost per unit a little high maybe?

Events

The FoulPlay Fantastic Fox Hunt (Ends: 5/7/2014)
Part flash mob, part fox hunt, live action human foxes bursting through the hedges pursued by riders and horses with coconut shells.
More than once this week, I’ve wished that I was British.

Video Games

Armello (Ends: 5/8/2014)
A traditional Danish/German style board game, a Magic: The Gathering influenced card game, uplifted into a multiplayer tablet/PC game
After week one, halfway to goal. This looks like an exciting project if they maintain their momentum! Review on Furstarter.

Rats: Time is Running Out! (Ends: 5/18/2014)
Fast-paced clasic Gauntlet/PacMan style cats-and-mouse, cops-and-robbers game

Adult

PetPlayPalace (Offbeatr Pre-Vote Period)
Pet-play videos and photo gallery. Mostly girls in cat ears, but they promise some variety.
NSFW teasers at petplaypalace.com. Pink, fluffy, and unsubtle as heck.

Soft Serve Swirl (Offbeatr Pre-Vote Period)
chubby muscley bears by White Wolfster meet at CHUBBS (A gym? Creamery? Bar? Exotic dance spot with well-fortified catwalk?) in this 3-issue comic series.

…Coming Soon

Sanctum Polis (Coming Soon): A 32-bit game of investigation, fantasy, and dreamquests (also on FurAffinity)

Remember Zork? I'm a beginning programmer and I'm developing a similar game as a pastime/learning project.

I'm starting from scratch, but I really want to make it enjoyable. So if any of you have a world scenario or character or something you'd like to see in action, comment, and maybe you'll be playing it.

All ideas and questions are welcome!

Will report back here with updates and eventually the game.

EDIT:More info

A world without compass-based directions. A lot of the character design would be based on the world, so that's my first priority-- but I'll still work in just about anything if I like the idea. The main thing I want to strive for is the sense of discovery, so a large world is a given. There'll be a large level of interaction with characters, both friendly and not.

EDIT: Even more info

The overall setting for the world is this

Some weren't sure what I was looking for, I wasn't too sure either. The main story is still in the works. But I've gotten a lot of ideas and I'll be adding in lots of characters, side-quests, items, you name it, to have some fun and add a little foreign content to the game. Credit will be given, though I'm sure the game won't become widely known.

I've always been intrigued by the furry community, and have decided to commit myself to it. I would like to know a little about how to get started in becoming a full furry.

Thanks, Atsisvti

Hello there fellow furry and scally beings. ?(:3|

Recently I got a 3DS and Animal Crossing: New Leaf and I'd like to try playing online, so I thought if there are some players willing to come over/invite me over and have fun, trade fruit, furniture and et cetera.

I'm mostly available at evenings from 18:00 to 2:00 CET (GMT+2). If you want to, just PM me your FC and I'll show you mine ?(:P

Looking forward, mrow ?(:3|

It's time for the Mephit Fur Meet 2014: A B-Movie Triple Feature? T-Shirt contest! For more information on Mephit Fur Meet: mephitfurmeet.org

Every year the artwork that's on our T-Shirt comes from folks like you! If you'd like you enter, please read on for the rules of our contest. You could win a free attending membership to the convention!

T-Shirt Contest Rules

PLEASE READ THESE RULES IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE ENTERING.

The rules for 2014's T-Shirt Contest are:

What's up for grabs? There are three chances for your artwork to be selected for MFM's T-Shirts.

-Attendees Choice - The winner of the Attendees Choice will have their artwork featured on the front of the MFM T-Shirts. This is chosen by you, the attendees. -Director's Choice - The winner of the Director's Choice will be featured on the back of the MFM T-Shirt. -Staff Choice - This will be chosen by the staff and be featured on their staff shirts. Each winner will receive a free attending membership.

Who is eligible to enter? Everyone! To be fair to all artists, we are continuing the requirement this year that the winner of the previous year's Attendees Choice will not be eligible for this year's Attendees Choice. They will still be allowed to enter, and may be considered for either the Director's Choice or Staff Choice.

What do I submit? The overall rating for the piece should be a "G" to "PG" rating - if you wouldn't wear it in your elderly grandmother's house, don't put it on your entry! The piece must feature a skunk as the main subject or subjects. It should also bear either "Mephit FurMeet" or "MFM" as well as the year or corresponding anniversary number (i.e.: 2014 or 18). Entries that misspell the name of the convention will be disqualified.

Our theme this year is "A B-Movie Triple Feature” and includes three mini-themes to choose from: Sherlock Holmes and the Steampunk Skunk, Killer Furs from Outer Space, and Cowboys and Furries

For an entry to be eligible for voting, two versions of the entry MUST be submitted - one for display/voting, and a second, higher-resolution piece for use should that entry win or be selected for other use by a member of staff.

Display Piece: No more than 800 x 600, This display piece should not contain a signature to show who created this (We will go into more detail on this later). Artists need not worry about misuse of their artwork, as this piece will be watermarked by the staff as being an MFM T-Shirt Entry prior to being placed on the website for display. The "Display Piece" should be submitted as a .JPG or .GIF.

Final Piece: This will be the actual artwork used by our printing company to make the t-shirts, or the staff should your piece be used in any other function. This finished work SHOULD contain a signature which will appear on the t-shirt. The recommended dimensions are at least 10 inches high at 300 dots per inch or higher. The "Final Piece" should be submitted in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) format, although TIFF or EPS will also be acceptable. This is by request of our printer that it be sent as Illustrator format.

Both the display and the final piece must be black and white ONLY (GRAYSCALE AND HALFTONED IMAGES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE, PERIOD).

When the artwork has been received, you will be notified within 72 hours that it was received. If you did not receive a notification within 72 hours, please do not resend your email, but instead a follow up to see if it was received and the administrator of the contest just plain forgot. :)

Display of Artwork Once again, we will be running a 'blind' contest. We will only display the title of the piece, not who the creator is. By doing this, we hope to make the contest fairer by making everyone choose the submission based upon the piece itself, not the artist. Voting will be the same as in previous years - commencing for one week, after which votes determined to be ineligible will be discarded and the design which gets the majority of valid votes will be the winner.

After voting has finished and the director's choice has been selected, the t-shirt entry page will be updated with the names of the artists who submitted each entry.

When do you need it? Cutoff Date for Submitting Entries is 11:59 PM Central Time on Tuesday, July 1, 2014.

Where do we send it? Please submit all entries to tshirt@mephitfurmeet.org

Other Things Each artist may enter up to three pieces for inclusion in the contest. The administrator of the contest shall abstain from voting. The rules for voting will remain the same as in past years, where for a vote to be valid, the corresponding email address must be subscribed to one of Mephit FurMeet's mailing lists. IP Addresses will be logged, and MFM reserves the right to disqualify multiple votes from the same IP.

Some stuff you need to know (Better read it, it affects you!) By submitting an entry to the Mephit FurMeet T-Shirt contest, you are granting Mephit FurMeet and its parent corporation, Mid South and Tennessee Anthropomorphic Arts Association (MST3A) an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use the entry for promotional purposes. The original creators of the work are permitted to use the work in their own portfolios and promotions. Mephit FurMeet and MST3A reserve the right to review all entries and not allow any entry that it deems inappropriate (i.e.: drug/alcohol references, violent or sexual content, or possible trademark/copyright violations).

MFM shall in no way be responsible for entries that are lost in transit, either via email or postal service. If we do not receive an entry before an established cutoff date, the entry will not be included in the contest. Also, if you do not submit both required versions, your entry will not be included.
