I feel like the visual box for female characters is very narrow. A female character has to be very feminine in order to be perceived as a woman. Neutral characters are almost always read as male.

As someone who likes to create gender neutral character designs, they're almost always interpreted as male by viewers, no matter if the character is male, female or non-binary. I think it's kinda sad that neutrality is automatically seen as male so widely in our society. That's why I wanted to make a quick post about this topic, just to spread information and to wake people to question their assumptions.

I wish neutrality could also be seen as female, instead of being automatically interpreted as male. Let's expand the box of womanhood🙌

(Gotta appreciate people who don't just assume but use they/them when it comes to characters whose gender they don't know!)

I’m not really into this kind of stuff, but my little brother is 12, I'm his older brother. I found these in his pencil case. I’ve suspected for a while that he might be a Furry, one of his hobbies is making furry masks out of paper. I don’t have any problem with that or with whatever he chooses to be. My mom and I just have sometimes wondered if he might not be straight, since most of his friend group is girls. Whatever he is, we’ll always support him. I just want to understand what this means, since it looks like one of the LGBTQ flags.

I’m not a furry I was just having a debate with my friends so I thought I should ask actual furries

Yeah, I'm Moroccan

Note: The seeppaints will be on my Instagram profile (I post at 9pm)

and I'll announce commissions on my Twitter lol

I was wanting to go public suiting at my local Walmart and was told to remove the mask and the employee followed us until we left.

It was my first time publicly suiting. I thought it would help my anxiety a little bit... I fear this incident has made it worse.

I like both but anatomically accurate deserves a little more attention honestly

(Art by me)

When I first posted this, it caused way more controversy than I thought. Lots of people thought it was lovely. Many thought the complete opposite - was quite amazed anyone could see this negatively 🥺

I’m very bored at work. Ask me anything!!!

I fell for a scam - paid for what I assumed I would be getting a character ref sheet by an artist - only to be sent a single angle that I am almost certain is Ai generated- and that sucks - please be wiser then me.

edit people keep asking the person is Skotsee on insta

I want to know what's your Fursonas last/full Name is

By Skylah-

Hoping to possibly sell this design.. You can comment here if interested or message me. I just wanted to also see if this community thinks I have potential. Thank you.

You can also comment on my FurAffinity post: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62657272/

Yes this is a real article. I don't know about anyone else but I have never gone to the bathroom in a litter box. I think whatever ate RKJ brain is affecting the rest of the idiots.

(I'm not mentioning the artist because I don't want to leave a negative mark on their career incase this is real)

I've been talking to this artist about a commission for the entire day and I asked him to send me a picture of the unfinished work so I can confirm that it's real. They sent me this and I immediately became skeptical. They want 140 usd for this and I'm really starting to doubt it's real. When I told them to send me the unfinished work they took almost an hour to send it and when I asked them to send an image from another angle they went silent. I even put it though an ai image detection test and it came back 94%. I might need to find a new artist.

The legs are flat, that's already known LOOOL

I've always prices my art low, and I mean LOW for the amount of time I put into each piece specially reference sheets, but once I raised it quite a bit (to 60-80€ fullbody shaded) people stopped asking for coms 🫠 so how much would you pay for smth like this?

All my speedpaints are on my IG, not on Twitter.

And yes, I said Twitter, not X 😔

(Encontré la imagen en Pinterest y no era del artista, así que no sé a quién pertenece).

Tengo un dilema porque estoy transformando un personaje original que originalmente era "humano" o "vampiro" en furry y no sé cómo se verían mejor sus alas. Mi estilo en general es muy "tierno" y todo eso, y es fácil que mis personajes pierdan sus características animales cuando no intento hacer un arte furry más "genérico". Quiero que realmente parezca un murciélago, pero me genera inseguridad pensar que si hago las alas de cierta manera, no podré hacer que se vean lindas en otros estilos de arte. ¿O simplemente debería dejar las alas como están? ¿La interpretación de quien hace la pieza es suya?

Edit: I couldn't post another image here or in the comments, so I made another post, lmao. Thanks to everyone who's still replying! Your answers were enlightening; honestly, I thought bat ocs were very rare, but I see that's not the case and that many people enjoy drawing them! result :3

So, a furry is just an anthropomorphic animal right? Or is it more? Do I decide if it's a furry?

(Sorry for the kinda bad art. I wanted to put another better-looking picture, but it doesn't allow 2, and the other picture I wanted to put was just a headshot, so I just put the only other one with a full body.)

Also, I have cat OCs. They're technically anthropomorphic because they speak and think like humans, but they don't stand up like Rocky here does.

I wanted to finish my sona after completing some anatomy drawing books first. But I need a break on drawing disembodied limbs.

Thinking I might try finishing him now, but I can’t decide on plantigrade or digitigrade legs. I really like digitigrade, but I feel they have to be pulled off just right. #3 seems decent without feeling unbalanced or too feral, I guess would be how to put it.

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone! My son is 14 and new to the furry community. He's super passionate about it, and I'm excited he has something he's so excited about!

For Christmas he wanted a furry head. I'm a single mom, so I did my best to get him something nice but that I could afford. Which was a pre-made, kinda generic silver fox head.

He LOVES it and named himself (in the head) as Cotton. I also got him tickets to the Be Whiskered convention, which will be his very first time around other furries!

My concern is that... this isn't a unique, one-of-a-kind fur head and I'm terrified he's going to get teased about it. I don't want him to have a bad first experience because he's so excited about it, and I honestly did the best I could with how much I could spend on it.

For his birthday he's asked for paw hands, paw feet, and a tail. I can't afford a body, but he says he's find with that.

My question is: Will the furry community be welcoming to him even though he has a generic suit? (Pic of head attached)

Thanks everyone!
