Furry Artists

Further Confusion is among the biggest international traditions celebrating anthropomorphism in all its guises. With an attendance of over 3,000 and developing, it is one of the premiere events of its type. Additional Confusion incorporates charitable benefits, educational conferences, art displays, panels and overall social activities.

A Furry creature is anthropomorphic, in which animal and human characteristics are both present. It may be physical, psychological or both. They can be serious or funny. Utilization of the term furry is restricted almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other cultural groups aware of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also occasionally used to refer to fans of their arts arts. Such artwork range broadly and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and actors, celebrities, voice talent, literary authors and songwriters.

Within the accepted usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they are anthropomorphic, largely behave like people, and may be considered the animation equivalent of character actors. On the other hand, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, along with the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (although turtles don't have fur). They're generally more"realistic" in appearance compared to humorous animals and behave more like crosses between humans and animals. They're sapient furry fandom and just as much"individuals" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as critters for laughs.

For example, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to each other, but their behavior and psychology is very closely derived from that detected in real-life rabbits. Additional furries are not so closely tied to their own creature sides, but there is always some amount of serious consideration given to it.
