Do British furs have any impact on the furry fandom?
10 years ago
I've decided to become more active in the fandom & it struck me after a furmeet in Birmingham a month ago that we spent most of our time talking about notable American furries such as Uncle Kage & 2 the Ranting Griffon. It almost seems like British furries make no contribution to the community at all. Heck, even the Pawpet shows in Eurofurence are made by ze Germans. Is there anything we do in the UK that furries across the pond talk about at all? of course this is available to discussion so please, comment below & maybe we can start a movement... or just moan about why our country is so full of lazy fuckers

You raise a good point. Other than a few of my favourite artists being British furs, I really don't know about more well known furries from the UK. Perhaps it's because I don't really know a lot about conventions and fursuiting and all that. I'm a British fur and I want to give more to the fandom and I try doing so by sharing my art. For now, that's the most I can do.

Your art looks grand so I'm sure you'll have no problem

No problem. Only advice I can give is if you lowered the exposure when you scan your art, other than that it's very high quality stuff

Argh, I know... I've tried what I can, but I can't lower the exposure because for some reason, it makes the white areas go grey. :/ The only options I have when I scan are to alter brightness and contrast. I'm really stuck on how to scan and keep the original look. ><

If you adjust the brightness on GIMP, it shouldn't affect the background. Worth a wee shot anyway

Oh, I'll try that, thank you for the help! I'm so clueless with brightness, exposure etc, I'm really grateful for the tip.

I am a graphic design student so any help I can offer, I will gladly contribute

Oh wow, good stuff! :D I only took an art (Fine Art) to GCSE, so I know my way around a pencil, but not much more. XD
