Taw: updated status regarding weasyl project

'''Taw Echo''' (born July 24) is a [[Wiki:Canada|Canada]]-based digital [[artist]] and 3D modeller. He was the Forum Head and a Director of [[Weasyl]] from September 2011 until September 2013.

==Fursona==
Taw's [[fursona]] is a [[Wikipedia:Black flying fox|Black Flying Fox]] (''Pteropus alecto''). His fur is black with a grey chest and belly. His [[wing]]s are attached down along his arms and sides. Unlike the norm for his species (only having three fingers and wings), Taw's wings stop at the wrists and he has full paws.

Taw has blue eyes and medium-length black hair. When he smiles, his left fang also shows a bit. Ironically, although he is a fruit bat, he is allergic to apples.

Taw is an introvert by nature, but when he is comfortable around people he is more extroverted, and more open and playful. Taw is pragmatic, logical and creative. Some people may perceive him as distant or reserved; mainly because of his quiet nature. His personality type falls under [[Wikipedia:INTJ|INTJ]].

==Furry fandom==
Taw became active in the [[fandom]] midway through [[Wiki:2009|2009]], mainly via IRC chatting, furry game servers, and posting art on [[Fur Affinity]]. Taw purchased a [[fursuit]] from [[Temperance_(Canada)|Temperance]] in 2010, and has occasionally worn it around his hometown for fun, such as going to [[Wikipedia:Denny's|Denny's]] or random outings with friends or local furs.

Taw attended [[VancouFur 2012]]. This was his first furry [[convention]], although he had been to a few [[anime]] conventions previously.

===Art===
Taw mainly specializes in space-themed wallpapers and backgrounds, as well as other forms of digital media, such as photo manipulations. He has also graduated from a 3D Game Animation and Modelling program in September, 2012. He previously used to study cinematography and photography in his spare time.

===Weasyl===
Taw came across Weasyl one night in September, 2011, stumbling upon an upload by [[Kihari]]. He offered to help in the form of making some designs and images to help spruce up the look of the project, before [[Aden]] took over in regards to the design. As Forum Head, he puts together the functionality and style of the forums and maintains them along with his fellow staff member [[Eminoxic]]. As of September 2, 2013, he has stepped down from Weasyl for personal reasons unrelated to the project.

'''Weasyl''' is an in-development social art gallery website, intended to to serve artists in both the [[furry fandom]] and the broader online artistic community. The project's stated primary goals are to provide a secure and easy-to-use site that grants its users the greatest possible margin of artistic freedom.

Weasyl was slated to be released into open beta during the summer of 2012;<ref>''[http://weasyl.tumblr.com/post/17527957532/do-you-have-an-estimate-on-when-your-site-goes-live Do You Have An Estimate On When Your Site Goes Live?]'' - Weasyl Tumblr (12 February 2012)</ref> the launch was later moved to "late-September" 2012.<ref>''[http://weasyl.tumblr.com/post/28679519169/we-did-it We Did It!]'' - Weasyl Tumblr (4 August 2012)</ref> On September 30, the site came online, but was taken offline a day later to resolve "obvious issues".<ref>''[http://www.flayrah.com/4328/weasyl-goes-then-down-again-over-obvious-issues Weasyl goes up, then down again over "obvious issues"]'' - [[GreenReaper]], [[Flayrah]] (2 October 2012)</ref>

==History==
[[File:Weasyl-comingsoon.jpg|left|thumb|190px|Weasyl is still a work in progress]]
Serious development on Weasyl (then known as '''the Fergal Project'''<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6456452/ Fergal Project: User Page 1]'' - Kihari, Fur Affinity submission (7 September 2011)</ref>) began in early September 2011, with the intention of it being a simple gallery site exclusive to the [[furry art]] community; however, as development progressed and new features were added, the scope of the project expanded beyond its original intentions.

In October 2011 the project underwent major architectural changes (including a change in programming languages) in order to support a larger userbase and more advanced features. By the end of that month, a demonstration website was made available for users interested in testing the in-progress site.<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2858019/ Fergal Project: Pre-Beta 1 Demo ONLINE]'' - Kihari, Fur Affinity Journal (28 October 2011)</ref> Beginning in January 2012, the codebase underwent yet another refactoring phase coinciding with an upgrade away from its original user interface. The original site staff was also largely formed during this month.

Weasyl LLC was formed in March 2012,<ref>''[http://weasyl.tumblr.com/post/18747839420/oh-by-the-way Oh, By the Way]'' - Benchilla & Kihari, Official Tumblr Post (4 March 2012)</ref> becoming the website's operating organization. About three months later, staff launched a two-month long donation drive for site start-up costs, with a target goal of $5000. Donations of $5 or more earned the donor an invite to the beta release.<ref name="FlayrahProfile">''[http://www.flayrah.com/4183/profile-upcoming-art-site-weasyl-seeks-5000-july-31 Profile: Upcoming art site Weasyl seeks $5000 by July 31]'' - [[GreenReaper]], [[Flayrah]] (28 July 2012)</ref> On August 1, the drive came to a close, with over 200 people donating a combined $6015.<ref>''[https://www.indiegogo.com/Weasyl Weasyl: A Community For Artists of All Sorts]'' - IndieGoGo (1 August 2012)</ref>

In June 2012, Weasyl presented a panel at [[Anthrocon 2012|Anthrocon]], where a new user interface was demoed for the audience.<ref>''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYqo8xvuqSU 2012 Weasyl Anthrocon Panel]'' - Weasyl staff, YouTube (20 June 2012)</ref> The panel met with a positive reception. Weasyl's forums opened July 26, two months ahead of the planned beta launch.<ref>''[http://weasyl.tumblr.com/post/28090059763/announcing-the-opening-of-our-forums Announcing the Official Opening of Our Forums!]'' - Official Tumblr Post (26 July 2012)</ref>

==Mascot==

The mascot of the website is '''Wesley''', an [[ermine]] dressed in a beret and vest whose [[tail]] is usually tipped in wet paint (as he frequently uses it as a paintbrush). His markings change with the seasons, adorning him with either his summer or winter coat as appropriate. The mascot was originally designed by FayV, who created the character after input from the rest of the staff. Since the character's inception, Wesley has been drawn by many different artists, including staff members Fiz the Ancient and Stereo Plair.
