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 Collab Contest STAGE2: Theme! & Partners

^Katmomma:iconKatmomma: reports, April 7
CR Sponsored Anthro Collaboration Contest!
Start Date: April 6
Deadline: June 6th
:iconfurrydanceplz::iconfurrydanceplz:
This is our first ever Anthro contest that involves collaboration. This means all entries will have at least 2 artists behind the piece- and more than one winner!
:star: It is imperative that you stay tuned for updates- as there will be many for this particular contest.

Theme and Rules


Nursery Rymes and Fables


Use your strengths, teamwork, creativity and intuition to create a piece of art depicting a favorite Nursery Rhyme or Aesop’s Fables, and translate it into Anthro! There are some Nursery Rhymes and Fables that already include anthro characters, and some don’t- but they are all fair game! Just make it Anthro :D
Some Famous Nursery Rhymes include:
Mother Goose; Hickory Dickory Dock; Hey Diddle Diddle; Humpty Dumpty; Old Woman in the Shoe… and so much more! Get creative!
We’ve opened the floor to any one of Aesop’s Fables too. :D

Rules


1. Collab with your partner in any way you guys want to. There are no restrictions other than you both have to contribute in some way.
2. Upload the final piece to the category, Contests > 2009 > Anthro Collaboration Contest
3. All entries MUST follow DeviantART’s Submission Policy. Tasteful Mature permitted.
4. You MUST work with a legally participating Collab partner. Partnering will be explained below.
5. Make sure you LINK back to this article in your entry’s description, and list your collab partner so that we know you’re entry is definitely in the right spot.



Stage 2: Theme and Partnerships


We want to make pairs as fair as possible, and have everyone a chance to pick their partner from a list of legally signed up community members.

View the Full List of Legally signed up Participators :pointr: [link]

Participants with a Star next to their name indicates they have already been partnered. Find someone you want to work with, get to know them, and follow the next step!

Claim Your Partnership!


:postit: We would like to keep all collab entries done with 2 people. There are 48 participants. The sooner you get in touch with someone the better. Otherwise, ^savagebinn and I will be assigning partners, and if you prefer us to do it that way, let me know. ;) I’ll hook you up. But finding your own partner is probably more fun.

Visit this Poll to declare your Partnership! :pointr: [link]

:star: The sooner you declare your Partnership, the sooner you can get started! :star:

Just one of you has to do this- not both partners. I will immediately (asap) update my journal with stars next to your names upon your declairation: D By posting your declaration, you’ve told us that you are DEFINITELY going to participate with your partner- and you will not back down. This declaration is permanent, (This means, after this point, you cannot back down from this contest if you have told us you are still participating AFTER the theme has been announced. You must participate or else both your partner and you will be disqualified from the contest.)

"We have doomed the Wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be.. the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer.. which is in reality no more than a reflexed image of ourself."
:iconkatmomma:

Looks great, Kat! :) I can't wait to see what people create from this contest.

One of the greatest things you can do for yourself is to be unique as you can possibly be. Mimicking styles will not make you popular. Being different in your interpretations will make you stand out in the crowd.
:iconcoalmane:
I grew up on them!
I :heart: Aesopus.
I neeeeeed a partner. :ninja:

Please visit me by clicking on my icon - and you can drop me a comment or two. Thanks.

Also I'm one of those people who made their icons themselves. ;)
:iconneko-daewen:
Yay yay yay:3 I'm pleased to see that there is NO ONE I have worked with before on that list.

That being said, I think I'm just gonna wait, and let you and SB set me up with a partner, since I'm indecisive and can't choose :noes:
