Hey there everyone! I was thinking about a more organized/fair way of giving away free art and thought that a raffle was the best option. After messing with my style a bit I figured that this would be a good way to show it off! At 10:00 MDT (roughly 7 hours from now) I will do the drawing. Three lucky furs will be receiving a full body drawing with all the fixins (Cell shading, simple bg, etc) Five others will get headshots.

How to enter: All you need to do to enter is to simply leave a comment saying that you wish to participate. Don't worry about ref sheets for now, I will pm the winners to get all that stuff.

If you want to view my previous art be sure to check out my tumblr DA or FA accounts. Best of luck to everyone!

Hey people! I have been a long time lurker on this website, and have been putting off doing a post like this, but I have seen a couple recently and I'm currently laid up after getting my wisdom teeth out, so I though there is no time like the present. Well anyway I'm a 16 year old from the central valley of California, I love ultralight backpacking and weight training, and have been a Furry since before I knew there was a word and community for how I felt (probably around 3 years). I only live around 30 Minutes away from the upcoming PAW con. and I was wondering do you guys think is is a good idea to go? I'm only 16 but have a car and a job so getting there isn't a problem along with having a room, I am more concerned with the fact that I don't know any Furries at all, online or off. I have a good group of friends and am pretty social but still am unsure. It might be a bit of a culture shock for me, seeing that I have been kind of alone with how I feel inside for awhile (and haven't told anyone I'm a Furry). Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and hopefully get at least a little involved with the community here and meet some new people. I have seen how friendly you guys are and hope to talk to a few of you. (P.S. my 'sona is a grey wolf with small red spots, I haven't had any commissions done because I'm a little embarrassed but maybe soon.)

I've got some time on my hands and was wonder if anyone wanted a free pencil sketch (mostly head shots unless you ask for more).

Here is a little sample of ones I've done before.

I've noticed something recently, on /r/furry. You're not allowed to say anything negative. Ever. You can't oppose the content of someone's art, you can't critique pieces unless you're oozing a sort of praise riddled comment that only covers the basis of what's wrong with a piece, you can't say that you don't like certain fetishes, you can't even judge certain people based on their actions. If you do, and you put this into written form, you get covered in a wave of snarky, immature comments, and downvoted. Why aren't we allowing people to express non-hateful, yet negative opinions?

That's what I hear about us, at least. But I haven't seen that at all.

I've been very active in the fandom since 2007. I love attending conventions, I love making and commissioning and wearing fursuits, I love drawing and commissioning art.

But in the past few years I've had numerous very well known and expensive artists give me art that is way worse than what I paid for and the examples they showed, and then tell me that I should be glad they bothered to do anything for me at all.

I tried bringing my money to smaller, unknown artists only to be given excuse after excuse as to why things were never shipped, why they were never completed, why hugely glaring errors were never fixed, and then get mocked on twitter.

I've given my money to people saying that they were raising money for a friend's medical or vet bills and would do art in exchange, only to see that money go to a fursuit and then get laughed at and told they were never going to do any art for anyone.

I've made fursuits and parts for friends who said they were thrilled, only to hear from various other people that they were shitting on the hours of work I spent on their free gifts because they wanted LED lights and fans and custom colored fur and extras.

I've had people befriend me for weeks, and then swear at me and threaten me when I don't make them free things.

I've had people want to wear my personal fursuits, and then "accidentally" damage them when I said no. I've had people continuously grope me and follow me while in fursuit, after I've said no and slapped hands away and tried to get away from them.

I've had people steal things from me in my room at conventions, and even from my own fucking home.

All the fun has been sucked out of making fursuits. I was doing commissions at one point, but now I've given up on ever making anything else. Same story with art. I no longer feel safe wearing my fursuit, which was once my escape. I'm afraid to go to conventions and even local furmeets.

I love hearing about all the good the fandom has done. I like the potential of all the good things.

But nothing I've experienced in the fandom has been good.

I wish I could find some of the good people always say is in the furry fandom.
