being apart of the fandom for quite some time, i notice that some furries "pack up" and make small clique's. (groups)
and from what i see alot of the time, its either someone with an alpha personality, or there fursona just looks so grandure, intimidating or amazing that gets made "leader" of that group..i find people flock to wild creative and astounding furs.
me myself, i dont belong to any specific "pack" yet. though i have a few furs that i definatly would buddy up with.
though what do you think YOUR place is. do you have a pack? if so whats your "rank" in said pack...are you a follower..a assistant..or are you the full blown pack LEADER
and even if your not in a pack...im sure there is a fur that you idolize..that you follow. that you adore.
for me, i sorta look up to Rob right now. id not say i idolize him, but he is definately a fur ive come to respect greatly.
-
aw rob has a fan :3
as for me well...I don't rate as alpha, rather i rate as...some weird guy
-
XD

I'm packless, as the case may be. I haven't really had a lot of exposure to a lot of true Furry artists. My two favorites are Jay Naylor and Bagheera. Truthfully speaking, I haven't had any real exposure to the fandom at large. Which is why I came here in the first place. :P
-
Well, the only furry I've actually had any real contact with has been you, Kaprika. Lol. And considering you're the dominant personality of the two of us, I'd say that makes you my "pack leader". Pack leader of what clique, I've not a clue, but we can be the in the "whatevers" with Gonzo until we figure it out. XD
Artistically, I look up to a ton of furries. The main ones being artists who draw comics that I follow. Jay Naylor (more for Better Days than Original Life) is the first one I really got hooked on. Eric Schwartz' comic Sabrina Online is a definite favorite, Las Lindas by Chalosan on DA, Housepets by Rick Griffin, and Precocious by Christopher Paulson.
-
imma pack leader...COOL
:D
-
i suppose thats the case X3
-
Shoot, I'ma pack of ONE! :P
(What's a king without his people? Just look at Ebony.)
Well, the "pack" is so big, that I'm just a number, so they don't notice me. :P
-
My friends are my friends, and my idols are just my idols. A lot of "packs" I see don't seem very healthy.

i'm not really in a "pack" or anything....but I am part of the moderator team on our provincial furry forum......I'm a global Mod....we have 7 mods I think including me....3 are foxes(Bad idea lol XD)3 are wolves and 1 is a tiger...and the Admin team consists of a meerkat, 2 wolves and a tiger. and me being a global mod I have the most power next to the Admin...but even so I"m more of a follower then a leader...and our forum is like one big family...we make fun of each other and stuff lol.
other then that...i just have the usual friends I hang out with.....and at cons i'm usually running around with a friend or two meeting others...though at the last con I went to (Furnal Equinox 2011)me and a couple other of the mods of our forum ganged up and were walking around the con saying "We have mod powers. Fear us!"" lol it was funny considering FE is in the province of ours...and we gave out business cards with our website/forum on it to get more Ontario furs to join our site.
BOT:
I do have a fur idol.....and it'z ZEN...mostly due to his art. XD I love him <3 or it'd be my friend Vinnie....he's a pretty cool guy we got a lot in common and I look up to him.
and in my group of friends i'm considered the **** just because i'm a fox....i'm also the smallest person(5'6'' 135lbs)......and the subbiest and i always have a plushie of some sort in my paws....so i'm kinda like the cub of the group. (though my fursona isn't a cub)
-
I know that I have a few friends that I talk to more often than anybody else *Stares at Alexei and Drake* but other than that not really xD I just try to buddy up with everybody.
-
Aw man, I know ZEN! Love his art too! Have you seen Dipper's art? (She's sick right now though... :( )

Yea I met him in person and as Joshua Tiger as well He's a pretty laid back and mellow guy...same for his boyfreind Icelyon....both great furs to hang with (I hugged him too x3) :3 and no haven't seen her art. o.o got a link to her FA stuff?
I really want a ZEN commision...I was tlaking to him in person and he said he's opening commissions soon after this Euro con he's going to....(I was talking to him at Furnal Equinox which was his first con in North America...he was also GOH (Guest Of Honor))

Please stay on topic.

I don't actually idolize anyone, in a sense.
If a fur makes great art then I appreciate their art and respect that person.
Even if a fur doesn't draw or write I can still respect them for who they are, I can name a lot of examples too, I'd just prefer not to seem like I'm picking favorites.
In a lot of cases I'll see these sort of cliques formed within the fandom that sort of piss me off, another forum I used to go on was entirely dominated by this clique, anyone else was outright ignored, that's why I try not to get involve with "packs" because new furs may end up feeling left out, I want to try and be welcoming to everyone, that's why I like this site, everyone's friends here, even if some are more then others, no one is ever left out, for the most part.

of course what alexei is saying is that I'm his idol. thank you for saying so alexei! ^_^

ALL HAIL, FOLLOW, AND WORSHIP OUR BENEVOLENT DEVIL, TWEAK.

Simba's favorite artist would be ZEN.
The ones I idolize are Zeph, Rarakie, ZEN, and Aros. Oh yeah, and Zambuka.
oh yes Zambuka...he's pretty awesome (I think it's a he..X3)
-
I don't really follow a "pack". I think I may lead a small one though. A few of my friends look up to me for furry art and stuff like that.

Wah. I'm called Kimba y'know! ;)
As for a pack or clique, well, I guess I'm part of one. It generally centres around our house, purely as we're in a central(ish) location and have enough space to entertain groups. I don't see us as having a leader or alpha though; for the most part we're all independant types who happen to be social. While there are certainly common interests between us, we each tend to have our own 'thing' too; being able to share those things keeps the pack dynamic going, while the common interests (e.g. furry fandom) give us something to identify with as a group.
-
I look up to Tweak cause zeph said all hail him. but only here. shhh no one knows tht.
Now more seriously, I look up to this one fur known as... I believe its both coopertom and rocketwolf. His fursonality is amazing and inspiring. Also vary funny
-
I dont necessarily belong to a pack per se, just a group of fur friends that I talk to regularly, though if I was to say a leader, I think it'd be joint with me and a friend called Meeple. :3
As for furs I idolise, well I do not really idolise anyone. though I do have great respect for my mate, Xywolf and anybody that can draw. I can also appreciate a good writer as I myself am attempting to improve.

Weasels are mainly solitary critters, so in the fandom I don't belong to a boogle or gang. Outside the fandom I see all me friends as a tribe. Me roll in it appears to be a supportive one. I'm the guy you come to if you're upset, in trouble, need advice, etc. I don't really 'ave any furry idols either. I suppose the closest to an idol would be Razi for her breakthoughs in the world of IMVU furries & just for lookin' out for us much maligned furs ;) Props to Inkwolf too for her furry meshes ;)
