TL;DR: Journal detailing the contest is here, and her gallery is here. Her art is awesome and you should watch her, regardless of the contest!

This is a self-post because I need to give you an example of how cool a person she is. A few weeks before AC this year, I commissioned this con badge from her, but, sadly, it didn't arrive in time for the con--or so I thought. A week after AC I find my badge. Cut in half and on the sidewalk a block down from my apartment. Yay mail theft. :/

I didn't want to break the news to her, since the destruction of something you've created can be heartbreaking to an artist, but I had to tell her the truth when she later asked me if it had ever arrived. Upon hearing what happened, she made an even bigger, better badge, and refused to let me pay for it, despite the previous badge's fate being 0% her fault.

That is a class act, so go! Watch her on FA! Commission her for great art! Put on a purple thing and dance around!

I need practice with my tablet, so I figured this would be a good place to offer sketches. However, I need specific things to try, so for round one I'm opening 2 slots:

-1. Inked sketch, might add color

A relatively simple canine

-2. Rough sketch, might be inked [closed]

One of the lesser populated species; not a feline or a canine

Post here with a ref sheet if you're interested, please be aware that I'm a beginner, and these are not going to be super high quality.

Author: crossaffliction This is the third installation of my series of three comic book reviews, but why should I have all the fun? There has got to be other furries out there who read and collect comic books. I am going to open this up to them; if you read comic books and would like to [...]

Are there any popular furry-related news websites/blogs or other pages out there (asides /r/furry ;) )? I've been looking for them a bit but I can't seem to find too many. What are your suggestions?

Dear Papabear,

I have a question, but I'm not sure what to think about it, I live in a small town in the mountains, and my friends live in a large city, now, they are only an hours drive away from me, which isn't that bad, a two hour drive to visit friends sounds like a good thing. But lately I’ve started to notice things aren't the same anymore. We used to hang out all the time, every weekend and have some fun, sometimes I would stay the whole weekend too. 

A little info on my friends, both of them are fairly new to the furry fandom so I helped them out a little bit, introducing them to sites like FA and even Second Life cause I knew there were more furs online and they could make more friends, I thought that was good for them. But now they are both online most of the time talking to these friends in other states more then me, and I never see them anymore. When I do they are both on their computers in their house. I want to say they are roommates as well.

It got even worse after they both got their fursuits (I don't have one) and now they go out of their way to drive for hours to go to a party or pick someone they met online up for some fun. I am starting to feel a little neglected now.

I guess my question is, what should I do, am I being paranoid about my friends, should I be happy they are getting so many new friends, or should I just kiss this friendship good bye?

Hi, Sam,

It was nice of you to introduce your friends to aspects of the fandom, such as the online communities out there. Papabear suspects that what has happened here is that your friends got caught up in SecondLife, fursuiting, and all that stuff. I know from experience that when you first discover these things you go, “Oh, WOW! Cool!” and you get really excited about them and they can take hold of your life. When I first found out about SL, I was totally carried away by it. I would wake up in the morning at 4am just so I could go on it for a few hours before work. I could be a bear there and party in furry communities, and for a while it was really awesome. After about a year of that, though, the novelty wore off a bit and I returned to the real world.

Same thing with the fursuits. I’m sure they were both very excited to have them and have gotten carried away. My bear instinct tells me they don’t mean to snub you. They have simply gotten self-involved by all this new, fun furry stuff and you have slipped their minds. This is not to excuse their behavior, which is selfish and rude, but neither do I think you should immediately drop them as friends.

Papabear suspects they do not realize how insensitive they are being to you. Have you talked to them about this? You don’t say that you have, so that would be the first thing to do: tell them you feel a bit ignored and you want to be included more in what they are doing. You don’t have to own a fursuit, for example, to accompany them on their furry outings.

Don’t give up on them yet. First, try and snap them out of their furry coma and wake up to the fact they have an IRL friend right there in the same room with them.

Good luck!

Papabear

Hi all!! I was busy moving to a new location, so got caught in a delay of posts. Here was have Rukis & myenia doing what artist would say as, “doing the unthinkable”. They pounded out 24 pages of a comic in 24 hours. With only rare line mistakes this was amazing!! For someone to do that many that quick and that greatness of work is a hero in my books. Look forward to seeing maybe this in print one day to have as a history maker (well one of). We even got a little hot muscle action in some frames. Check it all out here!

Author: Fred Yes, there is still undiscovered Furry fiction out there. I ran across this now-twenty-three-year-old novel at the NASFiC in August 1999, and asked people about it there and at Aussiecon Three in Melbourne the next week. Nobody had ever heard of it, except for the dealer who was selling it, and Tim Powers [...]

I have been a furry for about 6 years now. Since then I have been nearly every species under the sun. You name it I have probably been it at some point or another. My question is, how should I deal with this problem? I cant get any commissions of my character done, because I know I will probably just change in another week or so.

So I work at Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, and when I was there yesterday I couldn't help but notice the dozens of fursuiters flooding in the front entrance! I was so excited but I was working and I didn't have my camera with me to take pictures. Were any of you guys there yesterday? Surely at least one was a redditor.
