Furfunding Week in Review 4-6-14
This week’s illustration is from the Kickstarter campaign for the “Animalia” playing card set.
A bit of a slow week in the world of furry crowdfunding, no projects really jumped out, so I took a week off to work on reformatting furstarter.com with a new theme that actually shows all the projects (instead of a blank screen, argh) and will help show off Patreon pages. It’s definitely a work in progress, but you can see how Patreon stuff will show up here–broken down by category, of course.
New Projects
For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page and Patreon Page!
Art
Rabbit Tarot (reprint) (Ends: 4/24/2014)
An illustrated, bunny-focused tarot, water color, very children’s fantasy style art.
Over goal!

Furry art and portraits with plus-sized (but not unrealistic) figures by Michael Tangherlini.
Tangherlini is also working on an apocalyptic fairy tale RPG over on WordPress, well worth seeing!

Political parody and constitutional cat lady lawyers in this NYC off-broadway musical
Looks like a bit of a non-starter.

A puppet show about the Monkey King! Not everybody can get to the UK, but you can see their work on Youtube
Bear Hug (Ends: 5/2/2014)

…Just for fun
Dancers of WAR (Ends: 4/30/2014): 3rd-person shooter featuring weaponized dance, the creator of Johnny Bravo and the founder of Depeche Mode and Erasure. There is nothing that isn’t awesome here, except for the long, slow climb to goal.
