Good-bye Dreamsong, Farewell, and good luck.
4 years ago
Hello fellow FA Artists, Writers, Crafters, Fursuiters and other highly creative people.
I was dismayed to recently discover that the artist/animators of "Dreamsong" had pulled all their works from FA, DA and YouTube. I'm not even certain if the artist was a man or woman or group, but I've always felt their work had a certain sensitivity and understanding of physical movement that only skilled female dancers know. I know "They" were working together to create 3-D animated short subjects that would be later adapted to Video Games and perhaps even commercials, mainly because their best works were often labeled as Tests".
My favorite works by Dreamsong were "God rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which I would share with my friends around Christmastime. The Short "Test" featured a Cheetah-morph Chanteuse in a red, sparkly, tight fitting dress, singing the Holiday classic tune in a husky, but warm voice. And then there was the test which featured their Cheetah Lady singing "Not quite Human" which started from point to point graphics, then resolve to the fully rendered figure as the song progressed. The process would always bring a tear to my eye, and seemed influential to me as I felt it represented the best depiction of the 3-D animation process, and what this whole Anthropomorphic Animal "Thing" was all about. Well... To myself at least.
So if You're still out there Dreamsong, Good luck, and carry on.
Another thing that has brought tears to my eyes is the Atlanta Braves beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the last run for the World Series. I should say more correctly... "Beating up" the Dodgers in order to win the Pennant. No doubt that Atlanta is a younger, stronger team, and both sides are playing really hard baseball to win the title. However the season has taken it's toll on the "Older" players, leaving more than half the Dodger's star players on the injured list. Whomever said Baseball is a "Gentlemanly" sport, has most likely never played the game through College, the Minors or the Majors.
As I type this, Atlanta needs to win just ONE MORE game to clench the series. Hopefully by the next time I write, we'll either be celebrating a "Comebacker miracle" or we'll be saying "Wait'll next year."
"Peace."

It has been kind of a "Guilty Pleasure" of mine to see the Dodgers turn that "Trick" of a low score, then coming on strong with a walk off run in the final innings back on the Braves. The game on Thursday, October 21st showed the Dodgers were still healthy enough to play. Hopefully, strong enough to win at least one more game.

That video, at least, is still up on YouTube.
EDIT: Their Instagram account appears active. Dreamsong also has a Twitter, but hasn't used it since 2018.
