The Last of the Polar Bears by LCibos
I'm excited to announce the new graphic novel I'm working on with Lindsay Cibos! It's called The Last of the Polar Bears. It's one part fable, one part coming-of-age adventure epic. The story takes place in the near future, told through the perspective of a mother polar bear and her two cubs as they  struggle to survive in a rapidly changing world.

Work on this project started back in March 2009, almost immediately after we finished up Draw Furries. It's only now (almost a year later) that we are at the point where we can share our story with the public. While the developmental work is finished, the long grueling task of drawing the comic is just beginning.

Around the first of the year, Lindsay started roughing out the first chapter of the tale. And although the finished book is still a long way off, we want to start getting the word out about this new story. As part of our efforts, we put together a promotional postcard featuring Lindsay's art of the polar bear family. We're offering the card from our website. Here's the link! (www.jaredandlindsay.com/polarbear.html,) Just enter an address on the form and hit the send button to received the card in the mail. I have a stack of 500 of these postcards and I want to give every one of them out to people, so please participate!



On a different furry topic, I'd like to extend my thanks to those who picked up a copy of Draw Furries - How to Create Anthropomorphic and Fantasy Animals, and a double-thanks to the people who left a comment about the book on Amazon. You guys are great! Every positive review helps improve the chance that people who can benefit from the content will check it out. It also improves the chance that the publisher will contact me about a sequel (something I'd love to work on). :)

If you're interested in drawing, furries, or drawing furries, please give the book a flip through next time you're down at the bookstore. If you bought a copy and it's helped you improve as an artist, then please drop a comment on Amazon and others know how the book has helped you. :)

Tiamat's Chosen by Quasimanga

Tiamat's Chosen by Quasimanga
First off, I'm doing a series of blog posts about my most recent picture Tiamat's Chosen on my blog, Quasi Educational. Check it out. Lots of character designs to gawk at.

Second, I'm proud to announce that Draw Furries - How to Create Anthropomorphic and Fantasy Animals, written and illustrated by me and Lindsay Cibos is out and in stores everywhere! So stop by your local book retailer and pick up a copy, order a signed copy from me, or pick it up at Amazon. Lindsay and I put a ton of work and research into this book, and filled each page with as much helpful information and as many illustrations as possible. Please help us make this book a success! I'd love to follow this one up with a sequel. :)

And if you already have a copy of the book and you're getting some use out of it, PLEASE do me a favor and post a quick review on Amazon. Authors live and die by those star ratings and the accompanying blurbs of text.  



In a nutshell, Draw Furries goes over drawing anthropomorphic and animal characters. It's 128 full-color pages, covering step-by-step anatomy, poses, and species-specific details (wings, tails, eyes...) for feline, canine, equine, rodent and avian characters, plus coloring and backgrounds! The book also includes a bonus guest gallery featuring art by the very talented Bara-chan, Kelly Hamilton, CookingPeach aka Miu, and Makime!
