Free Art: 'Furcharity' My Pro-LGBTQ+ Project

[mithandir91]

Hello folks
Since i'm new, i'll be doing Free art here as a form of improving my skills and getting my name a little more renowm. But since i wanna do something more engaged and relavant i've thinking on doing a special project here:
I'll do Optical Colloring fursonas for free for LGBTQ+ people here, with a Special care for Trans And Non-binary folk. This will last indefinitely, even if the art take to long to be done (my agenda never always help me).

How this will work:
1) - Send me REF or a idea of your fursona.
2) - Send me what letter of LGBTQ+ do you find yourself
3) - Opitionally, Send me a little about how your life as a LGBTQ+ is, the hardships, the goods, and how the fandom helpd you. This will be stated in your image discription as part of the project to rise awareness.

My idea is to show the poeple how the fandom helps people in need of acceptance.
tanks for all!

PS: i'll be open to do up to 'mature' art, but no sexual explicit art. Also, Fetish art is banned.

My sona is Trevor, I consider myself gay, but very so slightly bicurious!

For years, I considered myself Aesexual, but only had an awakening as a result of Furry, which has made my life much more enjoyable!

I'm a very big fan of mature art!

Here's a ref sheet for my fursona, Dallas. I can appreciate a nice butt regardless of gender, but I'd still consider myself gay by all means.

As for the hardships, I honestly have a harder time telling people about my libertarian beliefs or job in the firearm industry.

Anyway, thanks for the opportunity! I look forward to seeing what you come up with even if you don't pick my sona.

Q is for genderQueer, maybe? Either way, that's where I tend to lump myself, that or in the + itself.

Spoiler

It's always nice to be in a community that actually treats me as I want to be treated, as how I see myself...as opposed to one which lumps me in to the gender binary and doesn't understand the idea of being somewhere other than male/female.

Hi! My name is Alphonse and I'm a pansexual trans dude who uses he/him pronouns. I came out as trans in early 2015 (on my 18th birthday more specifically) and it had a rather mixed response. Most of my friends and acquaintances accepted me right away, but most of my immediate family wasn't too thrilled. As soon as I was out, I was pretty much immediately shoved back into the closet, having me being trans only brought up as a means to mock me on occasion. Other than those few moments, they like to pretend nothing happened.

The furry community has helped me talk and make friends with a handful of other trans people I wouldn't have gotten to know otherwise. I've also met other LGBTQ+ people from all over the spectrum. Being able to hear about other people's experiences with their identity has been a wonderful experience overall. I'm super thankful to have met all these lovely people!

As pictured, my fursona is a sweet smelling cat named Alphonse Darling. His color scheme is super similar to the one used for the trans pride flag, which was a happy little accident.

Here's a ref for my sona, Astrid.
I consider myself Poly and Bi, but since I 'pass' as straight, I don't suffer a lot of hardship because of it. That said, I had a lot of inner conflict for the longest time because of two issues: bi-erasure, and the "bisexuality is trans-phobic" narrative. On the one hand, I was afraid of being not gay enough to go to Pride (I was wrong and had a great time), and at the same time I was afraid that if I couldn't point to a trans individual and say "yes I am sexually attracted to this human", that I was also trans-phobic and therefore not allowed in safe spaces. I felt like a mess, you know?
The big thing the furry community has helped with is reminding me that it's okay to be myself and to let myself enjoy things, regardless of what other people say I should and should not like. As the panel at FAU put it, "Stop worrying and love the Yiff".

Hey, just want you to know I in no way expect you to make art for me, I’ll include what I have for a ref but still.

I’m actually trans, unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go through with anything for reasons I’ll get into. My entire family is super conservative, and growing up I was kind of forces into that mindset. Thankfully I met who are today some of my best friends, who really introduced me to both the LGBTQ and furry communities, and were sort of my gateways in growing into both. Along with coming to accept, I starting feeling things I didn’t realize I was holding back, and after months of crying over it and trying to figure out what it was I realized... I’m a girl. My mother knows, but she doesn’t really accept it or believe it, and threatened to kick me out when I threatened to disown me if I did anything about it. So yeah, I’m basically stuck in a body I hate. Alright, rant over, that was great to get off my chest to someone, so yeah, please don’t overwork yourself and you absolutely need to feel no obligation towards art, but anyways, peace.

Nice concept. I'm straight, but I consider myself an ally - we don't get a colour - but I wanted to wish you the best with the project anyway!

im the P panromantic but i dont like men,hope there bell more females in the fandom soon^^, but also the A for asexual, it has always been hard to be asexual especially, everyone always talk about getting laid and stuff while i just sit there uncomfortable. never knew why till i stumbled on a forum for asexuals, im so glad im not alone. also the stigma that people NEED sex is complete BS. i DONT want it and DONT need it. liking nsfw art is different then real life. heres my sona: www.furaffinity.net: ref sheet byfraya.diblidu by tamara5900

I want to, but i need to relate it to the LGBT+ project he would be in. Any sort of relate would be sufice.

 

[KD142000]

Here's my sona, Terry.
Like me, he's G- Gay :3
Thanks for the chance to get involved :3

Spoiler: Terry ref sheet

Although I still appreciate the female form to an extent, my interests sexually remain solely with men.

Hardships include the challenges of living in society where not everyone is so accepting. I hope I don't encounter trouble living with my boyfriend. You just never know who holds what beliefs, these days, until they open their mouths.
For the good, I'd say the feeling that I'm not alone in this and that so many are trying hard to reach total acceptance and equal rights (the way it's supposed to be).
The fandom helped me by introducing me to so many lovely furs, from all backgrounds, not just those in the LGBTQ+ community. If you're a nice person, I'm inclined to like you from the get-go.

Sorry mate~ I'm Bisexual, I often get teased at school because people think I'm "Gay" I DO lean towards males, but I'm not gay like people say, this fandom helped me by making my stresses go away, knowing there's others like me who have the same problem~

1 - www.furaffinity.net: The Cosmic Rat by Cosmonutty Hes called Sykhein, hes just trying to be cute!

2 - B, Leaning towards G, though way out of my depth with it ^v^

3 - This place has been awesome to me, thought my age and awkwardity would affect the rest of my life, but here I have been able to be myself a little more! Sure it helps that I have characters to mask myself, but its giving me the confidence to throw some of these masks away in my daily life! ^v^

This is a cool idea for a project ^v^ Let me know if you need any help with it! I like helping ^v^

My name is Aeon, I'm gay and FTM trans. For hardships, almost got kicked out of my mom's house after I came out to her, and she tried to send me to conversion therapy. Had to deal with a lot since that too, but the backlash from my own mother was the worst thing. If you don't mind drawing dragons, here's my ref sheet: www.furaffinity.net: My Boy Quantum by CharTem I find what you're doing very admirable and wish you the best with this project!
