The Fursona Thread

[Arianna]

Well, I decided to steal the idea off Avvy's blog and bring it here. >3 Hah!
Anyway, do you have a fursona/are you making a fursona? Which animal? What's their name, and how do they represent you?

My fursona was gonna be... this. But... well, read below.

Spoiler:

Yeah.

*imagines Sky dying*

Bai!

I'm trying to make a fursona, but I'm still trying to figure out how. :O Right now all I know is that it'll be a wolf (I think xD) with wings. See, she's like me because I've got that playful spirit like a canine, I'm friendly, but I have plenty of aggression inside me when I need it. And the wings are kinda representative of my free spirit and creativity.

[Jinx]

Heh. I might bother taking this fantasy to the next level, but so far my drawing skills...I'd just embarrass m'self.
And now for something completely different! My fursona would be a blind, white lioness. This shows the contradictory sides of myself-My ferocity and my calm. And blindness is part of a Seer. But that's a long story.

I want to make a Fursona but I'm a horrible drawer, especially on the computer. I was thinking about it, though, and I think I'd either be an owl (a small one) or a rat. I would have it hiding behind something, maybe, to represent my shyness, and a book and maybe a pencil somewhere in it too.

My mom says I would be a zebra, a cat, or a penguin. xD

[SaddleClub]

....what is a fursona?

[rattyjol]

It's a picture of an animal that represents you and your personality.

[SaddleClub]

Ohhhh

[Noah the Flood]

And its usually drawn by you, too. Usually.
I had one, but it's way under my art level now, cause I drew him last year.
I'm thinking about redrawing it now, in a different thing and stuff, so keep a look out

[Arianna]

We will, Noah.

I think sometimes people describe a fursona and other people draw them, if I'm not mistaken. (: And they have reference sheets, which are basically lineart and color codes so that they can commission others to draw their fursona.

[Noah the Flood]

Yes, that can be the case. Thats why I said usually drawn by yourself

[Arianna]

Yup.
I googled it and apparently it's mostly therians and furrys who have fursonas.
Therians are annoying. They think they're actually an animal. Anyyyywayyy...

[rattyjol]

What are Therians and furrys?

[Arianna]

Therians are people who believe that they're animals. Like, they have 'phantom limbs' of animals, have brains which are half human/half cat or whatever, or experience 'shifts' and feel more like the animal that they've chosen.
And furries... I don't know what to say. I'd just google it.

In my opinion, Therianism is going too far. You can like an animal, but being it..?

[shadowsowner888]

Read some stuff on Urban Dictionary. Yes, being extreme furry is weird, but I'm shocked that it even seems to suggest that people dislike furries in the way one would dislike a gay person. o.0 Unless it's going to maximum level, what's the big deal? I think furries are cute.

I think I may have subconsciously been therian once upon a time. xD I used to go around being a feline person.

Um. That was very off-topic. xD Annyyywho . . . I'm definitely not a cat, anyway. And if I am therian/furry, only minorly so, but I don't think so. The most I've ever done is considered whether I'm one, which we saw right now - and, I'm still gonna make a fursona. So, ha for stereotypes.

But I need time and ideas. xDD

:O Maybe I'll have a pen in my mouth! Or a computer mouse! Or - geez, this is gonna be delightful. xD

[Arianna]

Yeah, if people wanna be furries, I'm fine with it. I'd just never consider being one. xD
Same for being a Therian.

I like the first idea. :3

[shadowsowner888]

That's cool, then. (Lol, you shoulda heard me last night. xD I kept telling Gri how cute furries were.)

The pen? xD Thank you.

[FOREIGN?!]

Ooh, fursonas. I always made, like, half fursonas. xD I'd write it all out or plan it or whatever, then get sidetracked and forget it. Maybe this time I'll commi- ooh, shiney! xD

I've always wanted to make a fox one. I dunno. I like zem foxes. They're puuurdy. :3 I think I made a centaur once too, but a centaur is half human, so it wasn't really a fursona. More like a skinsona. o.e

[rattyjol]

Shad, do you mind if I use your idea of a pen in its mouth? I wanna put a pencil in my owl's beak. (If you don't want me to, that's fine. )

[rattyjol]

Never mind. I have (at least for now) finished my fursona!

[Arianna]

Nice, Ratty! :3

[FOREIGN?!]

Never mind. I have (at least for now) finished my fursona!

I loooooove it! Owls are like, my favorite animal, which makes it even more awesometastical.

[shadowsowner888]

Ooh, I love the little Saturn.

For the record, I woulda said yes to the pencil thing, anyway. xDD If you had still been planning on using it.

[rattyjol]

Thankee, Forry.

Oh. Thanks, then. xD But I'm wayyyyy too lazy to add it in.

[shadowsowner888]

Lol, that's fine.

So, I started planning mine out. :O I have these random sketches of her, but I'm not gonna post them cus they're way crappy. Here's the plans, anyway. But hey may not make much sense. xD

Wolf, shaggy. Shades of blue.
Wings. Huge, haphazard. One dragon, one angel.
Pen in mouth. Red&w rosary bracelet, left foreleg.
Long gold white claws, sharp.
Big, sweet, chocolate brown eyes. Pretty, bright.
Mouth w/awkward yet sharp teeth. Tongue hanging out?
Nose in shape of heart.

[rattyjol]

Sounds awesome, Shad.
