Hello, Furries!

[Kemaiku]

Maybe you've been rather focused upon another property, one featuring diminutive equines and thus, unintentionally developed "blinders" to other material?

Sincerely,

Bill

All the season 5 livestreams of MLP had the Zootopia trailer played as part of the pre-show for a few weeks. I probably wouldn't have noticed yet either.

Speaking of which, got to watch a real pony throwing a tantrum over a swan landing in it's enclosure today.

 

[Amaris]

I meant from y'all here specifically. More for me!


Have you not seen Star Wars yet? The trailer was attached.

No, I haven't seen Star Wars yet.

 

[Turbo]

Ah, well, then that explains that. I'm gonna wait for reviews, though. As a movie, was 100% not sold by the trailer (though it was funny).

 

[Redfern]

Given the nature of the thread, what's the "story" behid your current avatar, Turbo? That's a very interesting avian.

Sincerely,

Bill

I have a star wars question, there is a military fellow in the rebel base at one point who looks like a cross between an otter and a canine. I have been wondering if he was a Bothan.

I'm no SW expert, but simply Googling "Star Wars Bothan" retrieved the following.

Does the being you have in mind resemble nay of these aliens? (Obviously, Google will pull ever tangent associations the further down the list you go.)

To me, these guys' faces remind me a bit of kangaroos.

Oh yes totally. I was just looking for confirmation of my suspicion lol. I am going to go research it, I've always had a fondness for Bothans. I seem to recall we never saw them on screen so I was very curious if this was one.

Rudimentary googling doesn't seem to point that way.. I will ask my SW expert friend.

Which movie, specifically, was it that you were referring to? The Force Awakens?

Thanks! There's a bigger version of this hawk here.

I don't have quite as detailed as history as you posted earlier, primarily because I've always been slow on the uptake. (Never even crossed my mind that I might be gay, for instance, until I was about 20!) Looking back, I've always had an interest in anthro characters, which blossomed into an interest in tf and other stuff via the Internet. It's only been the last year or so that I've openly admitted the furry bit, though.

As for my avatar, it took aaaaaaaaaaages to figure out something that felt "right". I like foxes and wolves and the like alright, but they weren't me. This was something of a bright light and choir of angels moment when I hit on it. I've always loved flying, for one thing, that probably has something to do with it.

Yes.

 

[Turbo]

Yes.

Possibly this or this or this?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Might have been a hassk.. I'm going to see if screenshots are up yet for TFA scene by scene. Thanks for looking them up!

 

[Turbo]

$2 says it's one of the very few species that Wookiepedia doesn't have a picture of (or article for) yet. And you're welcome.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

OH I found it in the TFA Visual Dictionary which I have haha..

He is Vober Dand, a Tarsunt. New species.

Where my Bothans JJ?!

 

[Turbo]

Oh, I did see him but I passed over him. I'm not seeing the canine so much, to be honest. He looks more equine to me.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

It was the profile we saw in TFA, a bit more canine than the frontal pics. I am thinking more sloth.

Also sloths are hot! Enterprise

Well, just my two bits, but he's very handsome.

 

[Turbo]

Well thanks! I was really happy with how he turned out.

 

[Amaris]

Well thanks! I was really happy with how he turned out.

I didn't know you had drawn him! Nice work!

 

[Turbo]

No no nononono I did not draw him. I commissioned him. The artist is linked in the description.
