What would your fursona be if it was based on your family and/or location?
People always make fursonas based on what represents them or what they like. But if your species was based off your family and origins. What would it be?
My fursona is a silver furred red fox. But since my parents were from the Philippines. My options would've been. Some Carabao or monkey. Maybe a mutt. Monkey eating eagle? I'd go for the mutt.

Taking reddit requests!
Reply with a ref sheet or image of your character, and if it interests me I'll draw it. :) Yes, for FREE. Might just be a sketch, or might be a full-color headshot, depends on my mood/the character. Just getting some practice in before larger projects.
Disclaimer: Please do not be offended if I do not choose your character, or if your drawing doesn't come out as you expect/hope. This is free! :D
Extra note: I have 3 slots open for neon paper single character commissions this weekend, $10 each (more in my gallery, take a look). And if you buy a slot, you're put in a raffle to win an extra, free sketch (so, that's a 1 in 3 chance of winning. Woo!).
Oh, final note: "SFW" art only! Thanks!
Edit: I'm dumping completed requests in here: http://imgur.com/a/7Qfyf

I want to try something new and finish this (nswf) entirely in fur.
Does anyone have some good examples of decent looking/ realistic fur?

A True Christian Mom Writes to Papabear
I am not a furry, or homosexual, but my 17 year old son is. I accept him for who he is and we do not have any problems that I am aware of. I am writing to thank you for doing what you do. It breaks my heart to read about the issues these kids have to deal with and most of the time without the support that they should have. My family was raised to be Christian, the judge not lest ye be judged type. When my son came out about his orientation he was terrified by the stories that he heard online about being disowned and abandoned. Looking back now it was funny, he had been beating around the bush for 3 months. We all knew there was something bothering him but he wouldn't tell us. His grandmother had mentioned to me that she thought he might be gay and when he started acting up again I just came out and asked him. When he gasped "yes" I told him it was no big deal and went back to my game. He said it was the most anticlimactic moment of his life.
Anyway I wish I could put my arms around all the people who write to you and give them a big hug. I am so glad that you are here to tell them that there is someone who cares and accepts them for who they are not what they are. You are truly a blessing not only to the writers of these letters, but to me as well.
Well my question is would I be welcomed to comment? I don't want to offend your readers who may think I'm intruding. I haven't experienced the problems that they have to deal with on the level that they have, but I have had to deal with rejection from both my friends and family. You have provided a wonderful forum for a select group of people to find acceptance, yet I don't meet the requirements. That's why I'm asking for your permission. I hope to hear from you when you have a moment. Thank you again and take care.

Dear Dorothy,
Thank you so much for your lovely letter! You really made Papabear’s day! There have been a number of letters that I have received from readers who were concerned about talking openly with their religious families about being gay or furry or both, and, sadly, in most of those cases I have had to advise them to keep things under wraps until they were no longer dependent on those families for fear they might be tossed out of the house, homeless and penniless.
You, dear madam, on the other hand, are an outstanding representative of what Papabear calls a “true Christian,” as well as a model parent. You care about and love your son no matter what. Why this is so difficult for many parents, I just don’t know, and it makes me sad. I am printing your letter here as an example to all these narrow-minded families what family should be all about.
God bless you and then some!
Now, as to your question of whether nonfurries can write to me. Yes, yes they can. Many of the letters I get are not really about furry issues, so you don’t necessarily have to be one. The reason I started the column and aimed it at the furry community was that I wanted them all to know there was a place they could safely go where they would not be hated for being furry (or gay, or for having kinks, or for being “weird” by society’s definition) because I was one of them.
If you have something to talk about that will benefit my readers, then I will publish it and respond to it like any other letter. Furries, unlike many outside the community of furries, are an inclusive group. We welcome you, whether you are a furry or someone who is not a furry but is friendly to us.
Hugs and Big Bear Kisses,
Papabear

You should commission DrVonGrim on deviantART. I love his art style and he just needs some inspiration to draw again.

Animal Crossing Jump Out Presentation from Nintendo Direct
We have here today a video that you will not understand at all! Well, unless you speak Japanese. This morning Nintendo held a presentation where they showed off a variety of games coming to the Nintendo 3DS in the near future. One of these games was Animal Crossing Jump Out, and below you'll find a video of the entire presentation. If you've never played an Animal Crossing game, first off...WHY ARE YOU HERE? Secondly, hopefully this one is good enough to pull you in, if you're that type of gamer.
Also announced was the release window of Early 2013 as when Animal Crossing Jump Out is planned for stateside release.

Kooky-Con? 6 highly unusual conventions
Here is an article (dated August 28) on the Mother Nature Network (a website that provides "environmental and social responsibility news and information"), describing six unusual conventions:
http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/stories/kooky-con-6-highly-unusual-conventions
In addition to Mer-Con/Mer-Palooza, the World Toilet Summit & Expo, a Xena Warrior Princess convention, the Reel Awards and Celebrity Impersonators Convention, and ALCON: The Weird Al Yankovic Fan Convention, the article covers Anthrocon.
Where can folks preoccupied with anthropomorphic animal characters — “furries” — gather to socialize, hone their role-playing and gaming skills, partake in acting workshops and roam a cavernous convention hall wearing a homemade fursuit without frightening small children? Why, Pittsburgh of course.
Pittsburgh is home to Anthrocon, a long-running event that’s believed to be the largest annual convergence of the furry fandom on the planet — and there are many, ranging from Further Confusion in San Jose, MidWest FurFest in Illinois, Euroference in Germany and MiDFur in Australia, an event with the 2012 tagline “the Furry Apocalypse Cometh” — with 2012 attendance records topping 5,000 including a parade of more than 1,000 jubilant yet overheated fursuiters (read: attendees wearing animal costumes, not to be confused with stuffed toy enthusiasts known as plushies). First held in Albany in 1997 with an estimated attendance of around 300, when Anthrocon moved to Philadelphia in 2001 attendance leapt into the thousands. When the event once again relocated to Pittsburgh in 2007, the numbers continued to multiply and is now considered one of the city’s top 10 conventions and brings in millions of dollars to the local economy.
The theme for Anthrocon 2012 was “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” and the associated charity was Hello Bully, a Pittsburgh-based pit bull rescue and rehabilitation group. Special guests included Sardyuon, a fursuiting acrobat from Japan. And on that note, the organizers of Anthrocon were kind enough to outline a comprehensive list of fursuiter etiquette for convention newbies. (“Be careful around suiters, they have limited visibility!”) The furries-in-charge also published what’s perhaps the most unusual convention lost and found page that we’ve ever stumbled across. Anyone leave behind a foxtail, a pair of miniature horns or a “Beware of the Wolf” badge? Anyone?
