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 Community Treasure Feature II

^Katmomma:iconKatmomma: reports, May 18
Jolly Feature
:ahoy: Treasures of the Anthro Gallery brought to you by some of our lovely community members :love:
I told my pirates to go out and bring back treasures from deep within the abyss of the Anthro Gallery ocean, and bring them aboard the Jolly Feature! ARRRRG!


Here's what we dug up and believe deserves some more love & recognition!


~Kaname-Nakajima's Loot


by ~Kaname-Nakajima [link]
first up let me introduce myself; this is me Kyna
This is one of mine, honestly I love it, that may just be the fact that I was the one that spent like 4 HOURS! on it.
Most of the time I spent on this picture was spent on all the little fine details (and that’s why I doubt that I will ever colour her) anyway, enough of that! If you want to hear her story it will be posted up in my gallery sooner or latter *goes back to wrighting it*

by *BLUE-ECHO-23
I really love this piece, it may just be because it’s different but why i like it doesn’t matter!!
It is a well drawn picture with fantastic colouring and character design.

by =19thCenturyFleabag
this artist be a comrade of mine of mine and a great artist, this picture has a great feel to it and really draws you in. it really makes you want to jump into the pic and fight alongside the character.

by *Happy-the-mongoose
This artist is another comrade of mine. This is a fantastic line art of her demonic character happy. I love the small amount of colour she put in the eye only.

*Eki-the-echidna
And this is my last comrade to be featured. This is another piece with a real feeling in it. It is another that makes you want to defend the character.




=Zethelius's Booty



Pirates Card-Joker: By =vanilliacoke
This picture is brilliant! Great composition, solid colors, and fantastic expression. The picture is bristling with personality and energy.

Sky Pirates: By ~WindyKid
Each character in the picture is unique and individual. Just from the drawing, you can tell that each one has their distinct personality and style from their expressions and their dress.
The characters are drawn with confidence, and there is a firm sense of movement from the background while adding an extra sense of intrigue to it's story.

He's a Devil With the Ladies: by =shoomlah
The fantastic expression in this picture creates an incredibly dapper and charming picture.

Argh Cat Pirate: By ~Teagle
This picture is hilarious. It has a very modern and yet classic appeal to it all at the same time.

:thumb72019877:Pirate Nora: By =Not-Quite-Normal
A charming and skillfully rendered picture. It has a great color scheme and lighting.



=Meru-san's Moolah


by :iconleinef:
This picture makes me warm inside, and I love the way it's coloured. Everything looks so smooth and clean.

by :iconredbuzzardd:
What a handsome tiger. Just look at all those details! :heart: His fur looks so real.

by :iconnekophoenix:
It's almost impossible to choose. Every single artwork in *nekophoenix's gallery is created with so much love and effort, I want to pick them all!
This one fits the current season. Bright and colourful. :heart:




~ERiss13's Stash


by *AlectorFencer
You had to have seen this piece already. Every square inch of this is just total brilliance. Colorling, anatomy, and lighting, are just amazing!

by ~Art-of-Sekhmet
This may only be a sketch so far, but the anatomy and apparel choice of the feline is great! I especially love that face.

by ~IridescentSpiritwolf
I just love this piece. It's so soft and airy, and I really love the texture that fur! I very simple but neat concept.



*SlyDante's Goodies


Consciousness by =Nanuka
One wicked & unique character design + One truly lovely & "crisp" style & feeling + Some sweet coloring & a great amount of detail from the breaking chains to the spots on the fur + Some nice & striking imagery!


Toulouse Takes a Bow by ~spunkywulf
One amazing & truly creative character design + An fun & colorful style which showcases said character perfectly + A lovely & gallant pose & expression + A great amount of attention to detail


Chetorian Circle of Worship by ~kamicheetah
One truly innovative & intriguing concept + Some lovely character design + A stunning & slick style with some nice coloring + A perfect feeling of mysticism spread throughout everything.



=Sepiaa's Gems



by ~rah-bop
I've admired this piece for quite some time now. The perspective, shading, highlights, and details are done wonderfully, I especially love that sky. I'm not sure if this falls under anthro very well, but it deserves a look either way.


by *kalamu
The color and surrealism of "I promise" is fantastic! The background keeps me searching for little details and the character's expression really sets a mood.


by `pacman23
I really love this picture. The character is quite simple but the small details bring the picture together wonderfully. I love the swirls, the shine of the eyes, and the detail on the gun.


by =opticalxarsenal
Thought I'd throw this in there for all of you sea dogs.
Optical Arsenal has a great sense of anatomy and details! "Sea Dogs" always manages to draw me back and look for more. <3


=FFRedXIII's Goods



by ~Negger
This peace is great, and goes to show that simplicity and a good pose can be entirely worthwhile.


by =Nighthyena
In all honesty, when I see =Nighthyena 's work, I can't help but go 'wow'.


by =Captain-Chase
This may have been done as a gift for me, but I think they need more views on it. While not 100% realistic, the fur is gorgeously done.




=MischievousPooka's Goods


Blue by ~DrunkenUnicorn
This one has really good detail in the fur and the patterns of the clothing. And the colors she used, makes this piece really stand out.


River Wanderer by ~DarkIceWolf
This one has great underwater highlights and an interesting pose.


Blustdurst by ~Tiamat-the-Raptor
This one has a great pose and detail. The raptors personality just jump out of the image.



=DavidStrife's Stash


Blue feathers and red sky by =Rhynn
It's hard to choose only one anthro artwork from =Rhynn, all her drawings are awesome and she deserves MUCH more attention than she has.


Lighten Up by ~dimespin
~dimespin's artwork and designs are great, I specially like this one for the composition, color and concept.


Cofee by ~anzz
This drawing is simply charming. I love the colors and the character's expression!



`touchedvenus's Buried Treasure



by =northen-light
It's such a simple and sweet drawing. I love the rich coloring and I can almost feel the breeze that's rustling her hair and the flower petals. Lovely work!

by ~Keravist
It's hard not to laugh at this superbly adorable take on a subject that tends to offend some. I have to say I was too busy laughing at how cute and cuddly they look to think otherwise.

by ~ManekinekoNoHime
This is such a simply beautiful piece. The face and flowing hair are mesmerizing to look at. I love the clean and peaceful feeling I get from just sitting and staring at it.


*Temiree's Haul


by ~kattything
Kattything always has a wonderful use of color in her paintings. That's why I watch her. On top of that, she can achieve a great use of contrast and saturation despite using traditional mediums.

by *Culpeo-Fox
As someone who's been browsing the anthro gallery for a long time, one of the things I find omitted from a lot of works are backgrounds. I often see works that can substantially be improved if a background were used. This is a great example. This piece wouldn't be the same if the characters weren't coupled with the beautiful, atmospheric background.

by *vantid
Great lighting, and I love how the eyes contrast with the rest of the piece. They draw you in, and you don't want to look away.

by ~6298
A wonderful concept and a great use of perspective. A really great sense of rising action.



~LiOneSS-178's Captive


by =Pyritie
Every scale has been carefully painted and the overall feel of the image is great :aww:


^Katmomma's Steals of the Week


by *Phraggle
His work has such a homey storybook warmness, and quite expressive too :D

by ~renokid
Great character design coupled with fun shapes and sweet line movement!

by ~Chobaryu Now this is made of win! great concept here! and really fits the theme too!

by =fyuvix and ~seux Awesome colors and fun rhythm! This collab comic turned out great!


ARRRRG! That's all for now, Mateys! Stay tuned for the next Journal when I call upon my fellow mates to scour the ocean again! :ahoy:

God, save us from your followers.
:iconkattotang:
This is such a great idea, and these finds are brilliant--some of them I already have faved, too.

I'm disappointed that the very first feature is someone featuring themselves, though. Isn't the point to feature other people? Featuring yourself just seems like pining for attention to me.
