ArtCorgi the art commissioning marketplace
Anthony Ha writing about ArtCorgi for TechCrunch:
You can read Malcolm’s full account of the proposal here, but the gist of it is that he commissioned 21 pieces from 18 artists via online art community deviantART, and then posted them on Reddit. Maybe not the way you would propose, but still, pretty darn amazing. (And most importantly, she said yes.)
Apparently Malcolm (who’s also a grad student at the Stanford Business School) and Simone (formerly director of marketing at HubPages.com) were working on another startup called Gigaverse at the time, but they found that people seemed much more interested in talking about the proposal story and the commissioned art. Malcolm said that as he thought about it, he realized “just how ridiculous” the process was. In fact, he said that he had to contact more than 300 artists to get the final 21 pieces, because so many of those artists were no longer active or said they were too busy.
Sounds like a familiar problem?
Read on about how ArtCorgi aims to solve various problems when it comes to commissioning art, they have solid ideas. Now of course this is aimed more at the general DeviantArt illustration crowd, but there is no reason why furry artists (the non-pornographic ones to be precise) cannot benefit from the system (not to forget the commissioners themselves). Or at the very least this should be inspiration for anyone who wants to make a furry solution.

Gone Astray
A thief and a soldier go on endless adventures through a fantasy realm.
In their wordsThe concept for Gone Astray began with, and continues to be inspired by various roleplay groups that I have been involved with in the past with the occassional bad pun I can't resist.
Originally the main characters were drawn in a picture as a birthday present for a friend in the group, each of the individuals loosely based around the personalities of our own characters - that picture should be found in the gallery but isn't - I'll have to rescan it.
The characters evolved further into a series of skits and pun sketches that mainly revolving around the suicidal paladin who was a part of the RP group at the time. After collecting a large swathe of different sketches and ideas around the seven characters I decided that they deserved a strip and here is the ongoing product.

Fuzzies outside the US: what's it like?
After the OJST comic made the rounds yesterday, I got to thinking: I know how the fandom is perceived in the US for the most part and its difficult balance with the odd puritanical nature of views on sex here, but what it is like in other countries? What's it like in Europe and elsewhere in the world?

New to Fandom, had some questions!
Hey there everybody!
Before I begin, just a brief disclaimer: I'm new to Reddit (first post!) and new to the Furry fandom. This being said, I apologize if I am posting in the wrong location or if some of my terminology is incorrect. I seek to speak respectfully, and wish to learn more about this fandom. Please feel free to correct me in your responses!
I've been curious about the Furry fandom for quite some time now, having no real exposure to it growing up. I'm a writer and have been for much of my life. Although my interests have led me to spawn personas in other fandoms, my most recent interest has been in the realm of Furry (or so I believe). This has been my problem though, as there are aspects of the fandom I am interested in and aspects that I am not. I LOVE character building, online roleplaying, making friends and aspects of the “mature” atmosphere that seems to be central to Furry culture. Other than writing, I have little artistic ability, no desire (and an actual dislike of) fursuits, and am not seeking any relationship other than friendship (sorry ladies, I'm taken!). I know that these things are not exclusive or “mandatory” for the fandom, but I have such a lack on information about it and few resources to draw upon that I'm left wondering if what I'm seeking is genuine Furry or a simple branch of roleplay.
My recent interests have been sparked by the development of a Khajiit character I made in Skyrim. He's become a 3-dimensional character for me, and I'm liking how he's developing. I'm of the mentality that all characters one creates have a part of you within them, however, this character is not a direct persona Per Se. I already have one of those in the Fallout universe, but he has limitations. Without getting too deeply into his character, he is literally incapable of sexuality. Brain chemistry and physical dysfunction imposed by genetic alteration has made it impossible for him to experience sexual attraction or arousal (this was to make him a better soldier). As such, I've longed for a creative outlet (in addition to physical outlets) to explore sexuality. I feel as if I could be capable of perusing this with my Khajiit, but not with my Fallout character.
I've been reading threads here on Reddit for the past couple hours and have greatly expanded my concept of the fandom in this short time, but I'm not entirely sure if it's something that I should delve deeper into. Ultimately, I don't want to insult those who do enjoy this fandom and who have made this fandom a big part of their life.
What other websites and communities exist that might welcome me to learn more about this fandom, despite my trepidation and naivete? I would like to try and participate in some role playing (SFW and NSFW) as well.
Not sure if any of this matters, but I'm a heterosexual male, age 22 and a recent college graduate.
Sorry if this was a tad wordy.
Cheers!
