ProjectComment Anthro Features- October 2009

=MachinesBleedToo:iconMachinesBleedToo: reports, November 1
As a Staff member at *ProjectComment, it is my duty to seek out Deviations one week or older with 0-5 original comments. I am in charge of the Anthro category.

These choices are forwarded onto the admins and then featured in a news article to help give a wider audience to these under-appreciated artists by exposing them to a group of people willing to leave original comments.

An original comment is not something like: "cool", "I like it" or "nice."

You can help too. Drop a constructive, thought out comment on these artworks if you find the time. It would be greatly appreciated by both parties! :heart:

Within this article are my feature picks for this month.

The History & True Definition of the Furry Fandom

^Katmomma:iconKatmomma: reports, October 13
This article is the most all inclusive, accurate, and informational resource for every question you have about the Furry Fandom. It Provides a complete chronology of Anthropomorphic Characters & Concepts throughout history, And CLEARLY Defines what this "fandom" is all about.

Before you read this little blurb I'm writing and think to yourself "Why do I care? Furries are weird people" Reconsider your thinking. If you enjoyed Disney films and Old-skool cartoons to any degree, then you share an interest with millions of people world wide. You don't have to be obsessed. You don't have to be attracted to a Vixen built like a brick house. You don't have to draw talking animals.........

all you have to do is appreciate animals, objects, or natural phenomena that can relate to you, emotionally, behaviorally, and to some degree, physically.

Obviously there will be people who prefer not to be labeled. But please make sure you have read what the entire article presents before you take offense to this. Because really if you've truly read it, there is no reason to.

A very interesting read for anyone who has doubts or concerns. Highly educational and you'll get a history lesson too. ;) Check it out!

Much appreciation goes to the author of this Document. I did not write this, and the article does not reflect my opinion. But there is a lot of good useful info in there that will get you thinking.

Anthro Artists of DA Newsletter Vol.8

~GuardianSurzsha:iconGuardianSurzsha: reports, June 9, 2007
Welcome to Anthro Artists of DA!

In this weekly newsletter, we feature all of the anthro artists of DA, as well as artists who mostly draw animals and other strange mix of creatures! In each issue, there will be four lucky artists who get themselves a feature along with previews to six of their best works listed under their names!

Definition of Anthro-
Anthro (or Anthropomorphism) is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics and qualities to:
-animals
-inanimate objects
-natural phenomena (ex: Viruses, sickness, disease, weather… )
-supernatural phenomena (ex: Ghosts, spirits, magic, spells… )

Anthropomorphized animals (or furries to most people) are the most common anthro forms, but who’s to say there’s an anthro machine (cyborgs and androids) or anthro plant out there?

So yes, we will also feature those who do anthros other than furries, as long as it fits the true classification of anthro.

Artists of this issue…

Here are the four lucky artists getting themselves a feature in this week’s issue!

Outside Links:
- VG Cats- A hilarious gaming comic. A must-read! – [link]

And that concludes this week’s issue! I hope you enjoyed viewing the featured artwork!

Notice:
If you are:
-An anthro artist (remember, anthro means an object, plant, or animal given human characteristics, so anthro toasters, anthro flowers, and even anthro viruses are perfectly okay!)
-An artist who mostly draws anthro (goes to those who do not classify themselves as anthro artists, yet deal with anthros mostly)
-An artist who draws mostly animals
or
-An artist who mostly draws strange and fantastic creatures (existing fantasy creatures, such as dragons, basilisks, griffons, mermaids, etc. are okay)

or if you know any of the listed artist types who you feel deserves some attention, please visit ~GuardianSurzsha and leave her a note with a link to the artist’s account, and an explanation to why they deserve to be featured in the next issue. And don’t worry if you are asking to get a feature for yourself! It is perfectly okay! Remember, only four lucky artists will be featured each week. So hurry up!

Questions?
Please feel free to ask questions if you are curious. Just send a note, or a message to ~GuardianSurzsha and she will answer as soon as possible.
