Furry of the Week

Hey guys! My name is Johnny, your host for Furry of the Week! Let's start!

The Furry of the Week this time is Yuoka the Folf!

Who is Yuoka and why are they Furry of the Week?

Well Yuoka has made a really cool tutorial on how to make some really good traditional art as well as covering what products they use to make their art.

Yuoka goes into some good detail on how they make their art, the steps are clear to follow and make it easy to understand what you need to do to create art, and what steps are more important to focus on, in comparison to other parts. Another good thing about this tutorials the fact that they also cover what supplies they use when producing art. This is a good thing due to the fact that for some new artist that dont know what tools to use this post gives a list of great supplies so this post is well worth a read

If you wanna give this tutorial a read you can check it out right here!

~~~~~~~

That's it for this week. I’ve been your host, Johnny Southpaw! If you have any questions about this segment or how you could become the next Furry of the Week, feel free to Fizzy, Danielle, or me!

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all later!

Art Corner

Hello there folk of Furry Amino. Welcome back to another Art Corner segment, brought to you by Rave and myself! Orii here, bringing you the first half of our segment.

The first artist and art piece that I will be opening the segment with is none other than the wonderful Omega Gohran’s traditional sketch.

I have a lot to say about this piece, but I will try and keep things short and sweet. It is not often that we feature traditional art here on the segment so I am humbled to be bringing you this piece today. Omega’s work NEVER fails to blow me away - whether it be a quick and random sketch or whether it be a full piece that is completed with detailed shading.

Seeing an artist’s quick and simple doodles is a good way to get an insight of the detail that they apply to the bare bones and groundwork of their art, hence why I chose to share this piece with you today. Those round features, pleading eyes and soft limbs genuinely give a lot of character to this creature.

Lastly, the insane variation of thick and thin lines also add to my love for this piece and I often find myself returning to it to experience the joy it brings me once again. Keep up this fantastic effort and practice you have going on Omega, we here at AC look forward to seeing your work in the near future!

Next up on Art Corner is this warm and glowy portrait that has been drawn by Arvenzo Razven.

I was not kidding when I said this was a very glowy piece! Arvenzo Razven is an unfamiliar name and face to me and I am glad to have found their work this evening. The main focus of this piece in my perception is the feathers and how beautifully drawn they are. I adore the dense lines and texture that has been applied to these, it does indeed give a sense of semi realism to the piece.

The warm lighting of this piece adds to its charm and beauty. The angle that this character is at is rather unique and allows the artist to present their talent with lighting easily. I am a huge fan of the colour choice too! Red with bright light hitting it will eternally cease my appreciation and allow me to see the true beauty that art really does bring.

My last artist to feature today is the talented FoxySwindlers’ gift to someone they recently met.

FoxySwindlers stated in their post containing this piece that they longed to work on a piece associated with WW1 and that this art piece was a good opportunity for them to do so. I prize this mindset that they have of presenting history in the form of art and applying their own style to it all as an entirety. The details that speak to me the most that are featured in this masterpiece would definitely have to be both the tail and puddles on the ground.

The effect and texture that has been achieved on both aspects are accurate when compared to the real world - it amazes me that such attention has been given, by the artist, to the smaller and less-noticeable additions such as the water splashes or individual clumps of fur.

The outfit that this pretty fox is wearing also does not fail to impress me. The accuracy of the folds, specifically, is what draws my attention towards it the most. The look is more natural this way and in the end, those extra few minutes spent on revising small details is in every way worth it!

That is all that I have to say this week. Shots fired Rave!

~~~~~

Hello everyone. This is Ravetail Brightwolf, here again on Art Corner with such an amazing friend and host, Orii. Last week was a blast, which is why I am here again to feature these artists for my selection for this week. Rather than taking more of your time spewing pleasantries, let us get to my selection for the week.

For my first selection, I decided to feature a fan art piece of an iconic Playstation game, PaRappa the Rapper by the Himaniia

This piece is interesting.The lining around the character is slightly messy, but this adds to the piece in my opinion as it’s reminiscent to the original design of such a beloved two dimensional character.The other thing that is interesting about the piece is the background with the traditional symbols associated with the Playstation stands out, like pop art by famous artists like Andy Warhol.

It compliments the colours of the outfit very well. Finally, I love how the artist made this game relatable to people who knew/played this game, adding additions of modern day fashion such as the ring on his right hand and believe ring while holding his microphone. You just gotta believe this work is amazing!

For the my second pick, I have decided to have a look at a small art dump by the Wilaroo.

Out of the mini art dump, it was difficult to make a decision, but I have decided that the gift this made for a friend’s birthday would have the spotlight. For starters, I love the toony style of the piece. It might be the most common piece, but what I love about the piece in particular is the soft shading of the colours of the OC. As well as the soft colours that work with this toony style, I love the playful nature of the character, sticking their tongue out, which also compliments this style. The other few things I enjoy about this piece is the twinkling in the OC’s eyes, and the simplicity of the background which makes the colours of the OC stand out. Continue with the good work, and enjoy making OC’s appear playful while using this style.

For the final pick for this week, I decided to go with a breathtaking piece by the Rocky the Swallow.

First thing that I can think of when I see this piece is (once again) “breathtaking”. The first thing that attracted me to this piece is the detail of the piece. The details of the owl and the figure are crisp and the subjects can be described as elegant. The reflective shine of the chest armour also captivates me. I also appreciate the trees in the background being out of focus, as the main subjects have been focused well.

And finally, the lighting used is divine. I love how the artist used the sort of Northern Light colours to envelop the armoured character and their mount, as it works well with the owl, especially with their nocturnal habits. As an added bonus, the artist has provided alternative looks of the idea of what their piece would look like before selecting this one. Good luck with your classes!

~~~~~

Unfortunately, this is the end of Art Corner for this week from the both of us. I wish we could feature more of you but there are so many wonderful art works, it is impossible to feature you all. That is why we implore you to add either submission chatroom that we always take into consideration whilst selecting artists to feature for issues!

And so, it is time for me to close this week’s issue. But don’t worry. We will be back for issue 189. Thank you all for ing us. We both wish you all to stay safe, and most importantly, furry~ This is Rave, g off on the behalf of us both! Goodbye.

Writing Showcase

The hum of speakers vibrate the many bottles on a shelf. Patrons speak noisily to overpower the 80’s rock playing in the background. A well lit bar attracts people to stools like moths to a flame.

The fox and the hawk enter through a large heavy door. The cold wind outside assails the pair as they get into the building, its clutches trying in vain to grab them. Inside, a small otter greets them and asks for their coats.

“You have no idea for how long I’ve wanted to do this!” Aberth said merrily. “There’s nothing like going out with friends for a few drinks, I’ll tell you that.” The smile on his face made his sharp fangs stand out against his maroon fur.

Collected as he always is, Tad hands out his jacket to the host. Comically, the mustelid can barely hold onto it without crumbling under the cloak’s weight.

“I’m not one to drink a lot, but this place seems nice,” he says as he tries to hold back laughing at the small fur’s plight. The poor guy can barely reach the hangers, who thought it was a good idea to hire him?

Aberth speaks again, almost interrupting his friend. “Could we possibly get a booth in a corner or something?”

“Sure!” the host replies. “But you’ll have to wait a second, I’ll get someone to clean up your table.”

As he leaves, a smile begins to form on the hawk’s beak, which doesn’t go unnoticed by his companion.

“Is it showcase time again?”

“Yes.”

~~~~~

Aberth’s selection:

Deep Space

by Stobirb

Space is vast, infinite, empty. In its grander scheme, we are nothing but tiny speckles, drifting around. Why are we here? Is there a deeper reason for our existence?

Those are deep questions explored by Ezekiel, the main character. As he flies between stars, he ponders his life and its meaning. Those thoughts taunt him, but they are stopped by something very simple: the calmness and serenity of a cup of tea.

This short story is well written and is charged with taciturnity and even melancholy. Stobirb manages to capture those feelings particularly well.

All in all, an enjoyable piece, even if it will leave you hanging on deep questions!

~~~~~

The two furs are taken to a booth at a quieter corner of the pub. A casually dressed waiter walks swiftly up to their table to take their orders.

“I’ll take a Moscow Mule and a vodka shot please!” Aberth said straight away. “And he’ll take the best cider you have. This one is on me,” he added with a smile. “A thank you for the last few weeks. You always help me out a lot.

Tad’s red feathers hide the light pink hue on his face. “You really don’t have to do that,” the hawk said sheepishly. “You know I’m always here to help my friends out.”

“All the more reason to treat you!” Aberth exclaimed. “Actually, I’ll take something in return.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“What’d you pick for this week?”

~~~~~

Bryce’s selection:

Retell

by Deqare Khojin

Deqare’s tale is an intriguing and well-crafted tale about how Staelqa’s parents share how they met each other. It is a dive into the past—a flashback told through the memories of the witnesses—and Deqare expertly blends the past with the present. Keep an eye out for these blending techniques because it’s not done much better than this. Awesome work, Deqare!

For improvement: Take note of how the sentences tend to fall into the same rhythm, helped by similar word counts and evenly-spaced commas. Varying this rhythm will help break up the “sameness” that threatens to creep in from time-to-time. If you find yourself writing several similar sentences within a fairly short time, take a look at how you may be able to break up that pattern!

~~~~~

Let’s give our authors a round of applause for their hard work! And to include #WritingShowcase in your post if you want us to see your own writing! See you all next time!

~~~~~

As the night flows, so do the drinks, but only one of them is doing most of the drinking. A few glasses surround the fox, while the hawk is still sipping on his cider.

“Aberth, how are you not drunk?” he asks.

Completely unphased, he replies. “Well, a sailor’s life includes a lot of drinking, you know? Daily doses of brandy will do you wonders!”

The pair burst out laughing. “You’re not even a real sailor!”

“Hey! Doesn’t mean I don’t drink like one!”

Art 101

Hae, it's Vae! Today let's talk about everything we all have on our minds: Meninges! Also, ideas that are more easily thought than illustrated. That's the whole skill-set isn't it? Let's dive right in and learn what we can do to better manifest ideas to refine!

When's the best time to think? To brainstorm, our minds need to be sharp and focused, so specific situations can encourage our cutting-edge imaginations to preform at their peak. Like any human behavior, repetitious actions yield habitual responses; Healthy habits manifest positive changes, so to ensure what we are doing is correct, we follow the results we trust. Healthy habits I encourage for problem solving are as follows:

Use a notebook for writing out your problem. I think about what I learned from school in regards to the scientific method. A hypothesis is your predicted solution, and I believe that's a healthy approach to problem-solving. "Art block" is a problem, but for every obstacle, there's a tool or technique to overcome them! In visual art, the simplist rendition of a well-nurtured idea is a masterpiece once rendered to completion. There is an effective practice for nurturing your ideas, we call this "mind-mapping".

Say you want to develop a logo for yourself. The first step is to write down the first symbols or abstract ideas that you identify with. In business, we ask clients how they want to present their company or brand. It's my job as an artist to turn all the words and symbols they identify with into a single, simple logo. The more descriptive the better in this case! I have always found that the clients who are very specific and descriptive with what they want will usually get a better piece of artwork!

When you're finished writing down all the components of the descriptors, let your brain focus on combining, as you let your hands freely sketch out ideas really quickly as they come. After you feel as though you're "out of ideas", don't breathe easy quite yet, it's good to take 3-5 ideas that resonate with you to begin refining. I use the 3-5 best ideas and render them quickly for my client to choose from, and refine further and further until it's perfect for their purposes!

I want everyone who thinks it's acceptable to skip the sketch step to realize that success comes from planning; A solid foundation is required for any building to hold up! In scene design, the whole layout needs to be planned, and it's beneficial to know what you're end-goal is instead of working with whatever came out first. I'm always trying something new, but a consistent method ensures positive results, so long as I hold myself able for following through with my goals, I can see what needs to be done, and feel accomplished doing what I told myself to do!

Time to sum up the practice to becoming successful:

•A thought manifests. Write it down, fixate on a solution to the problem, and sleep on it with your notebook at your side.

•As soon as you wake up, write down the answers you came up with, and plan out what you can do today to perform the solution.

•Plan each day as it happens, each week, and month as they begin! You know your overall goals! If you don't have any, just make something up! Write it down, and commit to seeing them through!

•Spend about an hour or two a day on accomplishing the focused task. Don't overwhelm yourself, so only fixate on one specific task at a time. Each specific task has a bigger purpose that should also be clear in time!

•Everyday is a deadline. If you can't solve your problem in one day, it just needs to be broken down! We all learn what is possible for us on any given day, so keep at it! Don't let a missed deadline get you down! Mistakes and failures hurt, but don't fret, without them it'd be harder to feel encouraged to overcome the matters at hand!

In the fandom, we represent ourselves as our strengths and ideals. Looks aren't everything; Be who you are. The best version if you is confident and enthusiastic about your ions! Don't hold back! Anyone or anything holding you back can't keep you stuck if you keep striving towards being free! So let's plan for a better tomorrow, and anything that gets in our way won't encourage us to fall astray. Today is your day to snap back from any feelings that are stifling you because if you can get out of bed when you don't want to, then you can get work done when you don't feel like it! I guarantee this, ionate work pays off.

I want to see everyone happy with what they do, so I invite you to never let yourself feel discouraged. There's a solution to every problem and we are here to help! For your art related questions and free coaching, I'm happy to address anything you got in the Critique Chatroom.

I encourage everyone to be comfortable with your work and your relationships with others as we develop and discover! There are incredible networks of people all around you! up, extend your pursuits to one another, and play your part in making this environment a better place for everyone by simply doing what you love!

If you’d like to suggest a topic to be covered here on Art 101, don’t hesitate to comment about it below, or reach out to me or my co-host, Zed! Take care, my friends! This is Vae, till next time!

Writing 101

Hello friends, and welcome to Furry Weekly’s Writing 101! I’m Bryce Griffin, here to get all you writers out there the inside scoop on literature tips and tricks.

~~~~~

This article first appeared in Furry Weekly’s #141, originally published on February 1, 2020. It is the first part of a five-part series on technical writing.

Let’s talk about:

Technical Writing - An Introduction

Here in Writing 101, we often cover topics that pan out well in creative writing; but, for most of us, we will have to put on our thinking caps and draft something a little more technical. For the next several issues, we will focus on tips and tricks that will help you tackle those essays and term papers with ease.

First of all, we need to talk about technical writing in general. How does it separate itself from creative writing? What’s the best way to write an essay? How should you handle a word limit when you have no idea how to reach the target?

There are some major differences between creative writing and technical writing. The biggest difference is that you are trying to prove a thesis. Often, you need to back up that thesis with facts. In technical writing, you may need to rely on many sources, all compiled in a bibliography, that your argument. To lay out and prove your thesis, the most-straightforward advice I can provide is this:

Know the point you’re trying to make. Then make your point.

That may seem quite obvious, but I promise that the benefits extend beyond a straightforward exercise of framing your essay. If you’ve ever written an essay without a goal, then you know how frustrating it can be to try and prove your thesis. Often, you’ll end up wandering off-track and weakening your own writing. Knowing what point you want to make and defining it beforehand will allow you to easily figure out what sources you need to the thesis.

Your teacher or professor knows when you don’t know how to make a point. It’s important to stick to your topic without belaboring a point. Instead, if you feel like you’ve exhausted a point, then use a new point. This will often result in using a new source. More sources make your argument stronger, but they must be used wisely. You need to prove why a source s your argument. You need to know what your thesis is, then prove it. Professors will often tell you that they would rather see a shorter essay that nails the argument instead of an essay that is longer and wanders.

I can’t stress the importance of understanding your thesis in technical writing. Weak or poorly-researched theses inherently struggle to carry the weight of the paper. Know what you’re writing and use your sources. If you can do that and organize your writing, then your paper will often write itself.

Music 101

Making Your Own Radio Show

Hello everyone! My name is #Music101 AND PM me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Choose your Theme

The first step to take before creating your own radio show is to figure out what kind of vibe it will have. Most likely, you want it to fit your theme. For example, if your brand is centered around Progressive House, then a large majority of the songs should be progressive house. If anything, the combined tracks need to be as close as possible to your brand, making them unique and setting them apart from all the others out there.

Create the Intro and Outro

The next step is creating the intro and outro. It is highly recommended to use a vocal to introduce the show, saying things such as "Welcome to …" or "This is … Radio." It is also important to introduce yourself as the host from the beginning. While the vocals are playing, you should play a quick, 20-30 second mash-up of your tracks, which will be the main hook. After the intro concludes, you want to introduce yourself and give a quick summary of the show, or whatever fits your theme. For the outro, you want to play a loop that's typical to outro's of your genre and make closing remarks including "Thank you for listening…" and "I hope you all enjoyed, come around next week for more."

Mixing and Mastering Tracks

Most likely, all of the tracks you are using are already mastered, which will save you a lot of time. However, they have all been mastered to different standards, so you will have to make a few edits. Be sure to make sure the volume is consistent throughout the mix, and to use a limiter to prevent any clipping. As for mixing tracks together, you really want to exploit the intros and outros of those songs, especially if you are using the "extended mix." It is also good to keep things spicy, and not use the same strategy for transitions between every song. , if you simply play the entirety of every song in your mix, it can get very boring very quickly, so keep things fresh. Also, be sure to tune the energy of your mix to your target audience and brand.

Community Submissions

Lastly, be sure to start community inclusion initiatives such as track submissions. Listeners will see that they can submit, which will immediately hook them to your product if they decide to commit, which also gives you a free new source of new tracks and remixes. Community involvement can also mean shouting out new subscribers, notable track submissions that didn't make the cut, or people in your community who just did something cool. Either way, giving your community the most attention as possible is huge in keeping listeners hooked and bringing in new ones.

Schedule

Be sure to create an schedule for yourself. Creating mixes can be very exhausting, especially when you feel like you're out of ideas or there are no new songs to feature. Keeping a schedule not only allows you to balance your work, but also helps listeners to gauge when s or events are. Using the YouTube Premier feature regularly, as well as interacting with people while they listen to the newly ed video is huge, and can earn you major interaction points. Other than that, people can also schedule with your schedule, so they know when to get a new , or listen in live.

That wraps up my addition for today! If you have any questions on this topic, please put them in the comments below, and I'll see you all next week!

Photography 101

The sound of thunder rumbled in the distance, and the storm was slowly getting closer to Sylver the snow leopard’s house, the once warm atmosphere of his living room turned cold by the rain and wind.

“Of all the nights for you to invite me over to play Monopoly of all things,” said Mango the kangaroo nervously, “I’m scared of thunder and I don’t even like Monopoly!”

Sylver rubbed his hands together maliciously, “You aren’t scared, you’re just upset cause you landed on the boardwalk, empty your pockets roo boy!”

“Ugh fine, just take my money!” Mango cried, forking over his play money to the snep- which only made the towers of cash he had even larger.

Suddenly, lighting struck outside, causing the kangaroo to bounce right off the floor and yelp.

As Mango lied curled up like a ball of puffy fur, Sylver walked over to console him.

“Hey, get up ya silly roo! How about we do something to get your mind off the storm, huh?” Sylver said gently.

Mango cautiously looked up and nodded anxiously as the snep pulled out his phone to show the roo some photos.

~~~~~

Today’s topic is:

Capturing Motion - Perceived

Perceived motion can be a little more difficult to capture than the blurred motion that we covered last week. While blurred motion occurs in a picture because of a subject’s natural movement, perceived motion is used for capturing motion while still capturing the detail in the subject. It is strongly based on the viewer’s past experiences with motion. Don’t worry, it won’t seem so confusing once we break down this beautiful example from Sylver!

This photo was taken from an iPad Mini 4 using the back camera.

A great way to use anticipated motion in your photos is to use something that a very wide range of viewers have seen before. The subject in the example above is very well known to move extremely fast, so, even though there is no blurring, the viewer automatically knows that the subject is in motion.

Where blurred motion uses a slower shutter speed, perceived motion typically requires a fast shutter speed and typically higher ISO settings. This allows more light to be captured in a shorter space in time, which gives the subject the definition it needs, even though the subject is in motion.

~~~~~

Photography is what you make of it. There is no wrong way to take a picture; but, with a little bit of know-how, you can turn a good image into a great image!

Got a question? Sylver and we will be happy to answer. If you’d like your question or work to be a part of a future topic, just let us know and we’ll be happy to share our answer in a later issue!

Thanks for ing us in Photography 101. Now get out there and take some great pictures!

~~~~~

“Now I’m thinking about the storm more than ever!” Mango said nervously.

“The only way to get rid of fear is to face it head on,” Sylver said in a mock-wise tone. He noticed that Mango apparently didn’t find his method of therapy very amusing.

Mango uncurled from the ball he had been huddling in, and grinned slightly, “Well maybe it’s time you face your greatest fear then Sylv…”

“And what would that be, Mango?” the snep said while relaxing back down in his chair.

Mango stood up and looked him dead in the eyes, “A little something called… bankruptcy!” Mango took all of Sylver’s hard earned play money and threw it up in the air, letting it rain down on the two of them as the snep watched in horror. Mango beamed, “Now how’s that for a thunderstorm?”

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

~Mahatma Gandhi~

You may be wondering how you can find yourself by losing yourself… seems pretty contradictory, but there’s a mindset that goes with this quote that puts it in a different light.

Think back to when you made someone smile. That incredible feeling of bringing even a fleeting moment of joy to someone else was worth whatever it took to get it, and it makes you want to keep doing it. It also starts a beautiful cycle where those affected by you want to return the favour. You find yourself searching for ways to help others, and inadvertently begin finding yourself. You find things you enjoy doing, seeing, and hearing, and you also find the people you connect with. Somehow, you begin to understand yourself the more you understand others, which allows you to help others even more.

It’s a truly amazing cycle to start, and next week we will look at how to bring this cycle into your own life!
