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


The AnthroChallenge Project (Bi-monthly Contest)

^Katmomma:iconKatmomma: reports, November 18, 2008
:iconanthrochallenge:
What Is AnthroChallenge?
*anthrochallenge is a project started by `cooley in which every 2 weeks, the anthro community is invited to participate in a challenge designed to allow anthro artists to exercise their imaginations based on a weekly theme.

Get in the Action!
This is a challenge built for the community, by the community. Visitors of the IamAnthro Chat-Room (the official chat-room of the anthro gallery), came up with the idea and it is in this room where you'll be able to find all the information and make suggestions for this event, as well as future events for the anthro community. Your Anthro Gallery Moderators, ^skifi and I are here to oversee the project but it's you all who are in charge!

CHALLENGE RULES
:bulletred: Please keep all entries PG-13, this means no adult content whatsoever.
:bulletred: Each entry must follow the bi-monthly theme posted.
:bulletred: All entries must feature anthro characters.
:bulletred: Please make sure each submission is entered on time!
:bulletred: You may submit Old deviations also- but it's always fun to try something new!

So How Does this work, Exactly?
:bulletred:Make sure you are Watching the *anthrochallenge account for the Updated theme and winners!
:bulletred:The contest runs for 2 weeks and then the winners are picked by our judges.
:bulletred:A new theme is picked for the next contest by the previous winner.

Judging
Judging is based on individual creativity, not necessarily who can draw the best. Our Judges are rotated each week to keep things fair and fresh. Occasionally, we will ask Anthrochallenge Alumni to fill in for judges that can't make it. Our current Judges for this week are:
*PlainYellowFox , *Thumpity, =arionic, =VenusInTheFurs , =krhainos, ~OdinWolf



Prizes
We need prize donations! See below for more details- but for now, Prizes are as follows:
:bulletred: Feature in `cooley and ^Katmomma's journal
:bulletred: Feature in the #IamAnthro Chat

:star: We Need PRIZE DONATIONS! In the form of Subscriptions or artwork at the end of each month! We would like to have Winners be drawn at the end of the month to receive a grand prize. But since `cooley's retirement, we have lost our funding.
:bulletred: Please, if you would like to donate, contact ^Katmomma via note.
:bulletred: One or 3 month subscriptions are preferred. Artwork and DevDollars are welcome too. If we can have better prizes like these, it would give our participation a boost.

5 Days A Week: the Everyday Adventures of the School Age
:iconcooley:
It's great to see the article up and running again. It's been so long since I've written an AC article. It's nestalgic to read it again, dawww.

Anyway, I'm already getting some applications so I'm sure things will be picking up again soon. We just needed someone who had more time to dedicate to the cause.

I'll ask around for prize donations in my next journal too. Thanks Kat!

Heh, if only it took me less than two weeks to complete a decent picture...

FOR (picture[1]) to (picture[++]) do;
Quality(picture++) -> Quality(picture[1])/6 + Quality(picture[++-1]);
UNTIL Quality -> "Unbelieviably awesome!"
:iconffredxiii:
Yay, the article is back!

I may not be a judge for this round, but i don't think I'll enter this round. i have ideas, but, well, I'm sick and it doesn't look like it'll be letting up any time soon.
