So :3 as the title pretty much explains, there will be some WIP shots in here To make this model in Zbrush I started with a basic human mesh, sculpted muscles on top of that to make him look more buff, cut of the bottom part since I only need the torso for my video, and started deforming the head and sculpting on it. I still have to cut off the human ears and put on some new ones higher up and work on the muzzle. Plus my big fella also needs some huge paws and claws. But so far so good I'm fina
In July, Culturally F’d was announced here with an episode list. It’s the Furry youtube series that asks: Where does the love of anthropomorphics come from? How far back can we dig in history and mass media to really get to the bottom of it? Why does every culture across the face of the earth have a […] View the full article
Promised my teacher I would have a sculpt ready by tomorrow ... I messed up again, Zbrush saves are weird I manage to screw up every time, oh well, this time I at least succeeded to save my sculpt as a tool so I still kinda have it somewhere . The premade human sculpts turned out to be a super useful tool to use as a base for my werewolf, adding some more muscle and a snout and tada :3 looking like a snarly wuf already. I still have to get claws on him and rescale his hands, cause giant werewo

Thanks for help from Poppa Bookworm, and tips from Arrkay (Culturally F’ed) and Fuzzwolf (FurPlanet.) The newly established PAWcon is coming up on October 30 – in the same place as Further Confusion. It made me raise a topic: In the 90’s, ConFurence was THE convention for all furries worldwide. 26 years after ConFurence 0 broke ground, the subculture has […] View the full article
I have started working on a documentary type story that will explain how the universe from Welcome to Purgatory works and in whitch ways it is different by following the life of Lightspeed, A character that may appear in a future story. It will also kind of be a biography/background for him. I will be working on it mostly when I'm waiting for reactions and comments on the latest chapter of Welcome to Purgatory. Let me know what you think of this idea in the comments. Thank you for reading.
My constant companion since May 2015, we'd spend evenings together, drinking by the fire pit or splashing and cavorting around on warm, sunny, summer days. Always there for the family, at BBQ, eating times, our constant companion and testament to summer fun. Lazy afternoons in the heat. Cold drinks shared after chores done. The occasional skinny dip, on warm moonless nights. The odd cigar and glass of rum, shared between us and the stars. But time marches on. The seasons change. It was inevitabl
Here’s more about a previous Newsdump item. (To read non-English links, try Google translate.) “Furries For Kids” comes from the German/Austrian community. It has a goal to set up a legitimate charity with fursuiters, like “Clown Care” (a program to bring the healing power of laughter to hospitals). Here’s the website for their philanthropic organization. My translation of their mission: “Many people in the world […] View the full article

My midterms are approaching pretty quickly, and I've had a lot of due dates dropped on my head, I'm struggling to learn certain things and I feel like I'm falling behind on some stuff. This semester has been pretty demanding, but today was the first time I had gotten as overwhelmed as I did. While in the middle of studying for the Japanese midterms, I guess all my stress kicked into over drive and sent me into a small panic attack in the middle of class. Nothing outwardly serious, I'm good at ke

So, I have my next 3D class this Friday, the plan was to have a rough version of the model ready by then. However, I have never used Zbrush before, so making a hyper realistic sculpt in there without even knowing the basics of the program was well ... what the hell was I thinking *sigh* So after watching tutorials for over 2 hours, I finally started to grasp the basics model time ! Well, about that, I had something that was starting to look a bit like a werewolf torso, however I touched some ho

Okay I might or might not so often post art, music, moddings or other shit here. Have fun reading it. Probably nobody will read this but Im bored for fucks sake so I'll do it. Shia..
So first of all I'll explain what this blog is going to be about. As some of you might know I'm a 2nd year student in digital arts and entertainment, this year I had to choose my major and I went with 3D and VFX. Because I went with this major I also have a class called 3D prdouction, that basically is about how to render, light setups, texturing ... Last week we had our first class and he said I have an unusual method, I like to let my students pick what they want to make for the end assignmen

I work at a small ISP in a rural state, yet even this isn't enough to escape from a thing that's going around. The thing is the tech support cold-call scam, and even though it's been going on for two years in the US (three now in the UK, EU, and Commonwealth countries), few people know about it. How many of you dear furry readers out there use Windows? A lot. How many of you Windows users use Windows 7? Right now, about half of you. The other half are using Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows
