I'm kinda itching to go to my first con...but I'm also nervous because I'm not sure if I'll have anyone to go with and I ain't got no furry friends. Are there any coming up that are good for a newbie? I'm in the Northeast, but I'm up for some travelling.

Thanks!

How would you like to appear as a red panda character on Skype, Twitch, or other services that use a web cam? That’s the idea behind FaceRig, a new program under development at Holotech Studios which allows anyone with a web cam to appear as an animated character. In addition to the red panda, the current characters available include a leathery demon, an anime girl, and a beefy human soldier — but they have plans to add more characters as the program is developed further. It all works through cutting-edge face-tracking technology that the developers have created. Check out the demo video over on YouTube. Meanwhile the developers have an IndieGoGo campaign started up to help them get the venture capital they need to bring this program out on the market.

Hey r/furry! I got my sketchbook and some pens and pencils and figured I could draw some stuff for you guys! It doesnt even have to be your fursona, just something furry. Just remember replies wont be immediate as I do have to still do some small things. Well I hope to get from requests from you guys!

EDIT: woah, so many requests! Im gonna try to get to as much as possible tonight, if I dont get to yours tonight I'll jump on it tomorow! Plus im now drawing them digitaly so you guys can get something good instead of a low quality sketch.

EDIT 2: Hey guys here again, just finished another piece for tonight so im gonna head to bed, if you still want art or are waiting be patient, this is very fun and love to do stuff for you guys! Also, to the few who posted art for refrence from FurAffinity, the site is still having problems, (at least for me) so if you can try to get another host for the picture, I will retry the links tomorow once i can though, just incase you can't. :3 . See ya tomorow!

EDIT 3: (all these edits omg) I need to go to bed but I got into FA and now I just need to sign in to see the posts, I will check them out tomorow, ok good night everyone.

EDIT 4: Hey guys, so something came up and now have less time to fill the requests, whenever I can I will work on them cause its fun, but my tablet is giving me problems and I wont be able to fix it now. I will let you all know when ill be working again so dont worry 3.

Dear My fellow Furs!

I would like to propose a gaming session in Garry's Mod. I've set up a skype group (Garry's Mod Furs) and if anyone would like to join, please comment with your Skype name and I'll add you to the call! Thanks my fellow furs!

Since SimpleMu is reportedly not being updated anymore, it's getting dinged by Windows Vista/7 for needed admin privileges, and Win8 is starting to refuse to run it!

That said, a replacement is needed. Anyone have any suggestions before I go and code my own? Remember, it has to be self-contained -- no non-automated installing of a interpreter outside of .NET (ie, requiring Perl or Python to be installed before hand is right out).

Furfunding Week in Review 12-8-13

This week’s illustration is from the kickstarter for The Bunny Story by Sheharzad Arshad.

Still only a trickle of furry-friendly projects this week–well, these two weeks–but some really strong ones! In particular, Antilia stands out as what’ll probably be the big furry crowdfunding project of the year, a richly-realized anthro fantasy MMORPG.

This week’s reviews: Antilia of course; an assortment of adult projects on Offbeatr; Face recognition and red panda fun with Facerig; and the strange world of Art of an Alien Planet.

Reviews New Projects

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

Art

The Schizo Cats of Louis Wain (Ends: 1/10/2014)
A 2014 calendar featuring the 100-year-old psychadelic and surreal art of Louis Wain, cat fancier. Amazing stuff.

Animals of North America: A Whimsical Nature Study (Ends: 1/18/2014)
Charming and ridiculously life-sized static cling decals of bears, lynx, and other wildlife

Books/Print

The Bunny Story (Ends: 1/17/2014)
Charming bunnies in times of war, strife, and violence. Not a children’s book, but in the style of one, touched with horror.
Reminds me a bit of “Maus,” one of the anthro comics that helped kick off the modern Indie comic movement. Conceptually, at least, much cuter than Maus.

Art of an Alien Planet (Ends: 2/19/2014)
Dark and detailed encyclopedia of alien life on a far-away superearth.
More of Rose Morgan‘s art on FurAffinity.

Children’s Products

Pandoo Nation (Ends: 1/20/2014)
Game and social networking project with activities for kids, featuring cute little meerkat folk.

Events

Crystal Mountain Pony Con 2014 (Ends: 2/10/2014)
Fundraiser for Salt Lake City’s ponycon

Technology

FaceRig (Ends: 2/5/2014)
Webcam-based platform that transforms your face into an articulate, animated avatar. It’s very “Avatar.”
OMG RED PANDA. Smug red panda, flirty red panda…so much panda.

Video Games

Antilia (Ends: 1/28/2014)
MMORPG featuring anthro animals in a rich, magical world.
At least one of Antilia’s artists, Tettix, is sharing on FurAffinity, more info there!

Adult

Horse Hung (Offbeatr Prevoting Period)
Graphic novel project: gym bunnies (and boars), a little coming-out drama, and a lot of full-frontal.

…Also By Furs

Skink’s snake plushies (Ends: 1/15/2014): Cartoony and cute plush snakes by Paint on FundMe. (Friends don’t let friends use FundMe.)

…Causes

Stop the Yu-Lin Dog Meat Festival (Ends: 2/9/2014): Campaign to advocate for dogs and animal welfare in China and Taiwan, and end a dogs-as-meat annual festival

…Just For Fun

Jaguardini (Ends: 1/17/2014): 8 bit and 16 bit-infused electronica, animal imagery and a fuzzy cat hat. Fun logo with a CGA jaguar. Is he a furry? I’m not sure…maybe in an alternate life…
Flicks for Fido (Ends: 1/29/2014): Dog’s-eye view movies for Fido, shot with a dog’s frame rate and color palette in mind. Interesting background noise for a meet!

I've been a lurker for years now and I just remembered that a friend of mine may have mentioned something about being a furry about the same time I got into it. Unfortunately, I didn't say anything about it at the time because I still wasn't sure about being a furry myself. I'm now wondering if I should approach her about being a furry. The problem is I'm not sure if she still is or ever was a furry to begin with. I also want to avoid revealing that I'm a furry unless I know for sure she's also a furry. Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach her on this topic?

Thanks

TL;DR title
