    Yeah I think I’ll probably go the “idealized me++” route in terms of body type, hobbies, clothes, etc. In terms of personality, however, I’m fairly comfortable with how I am already and can just see my fursona being a self-insert in that regard.

    I have a couple colors in mind from a previous commission of a redpanda pngtuber + emotes for twitch. I might stick with that, but those colors are somewhat plain so it might be a good opportunity to explore a little! I've never seen fursona maker, so I appreciate that as a resource too! I'll give it a shot tonight. I don't expect it to be amazing, but it'll definitely be a great tool when getting a commission done for a ref sheet

    Ironically enough, I’m not all that much better before actually admitting it for myself haha.

    • My favourite movie for a long while was Zootopia, and it still is my favourite disney movie
    • I’ve obsessively sent animal pictures and videos for years to my friends to the point where they began thinking I was a furry
    • I had a pngtuber and pfp of a red panda for the last year and a half for streaming on twitch

    It was only when I watched The Bad Guys I finally admitted it. After that I did some light experimentation on VRC, and using a furry avatar felt more natural to me. I met some other furries there as well, all of whom were super nice and welcoming to me, so it was a really great experience from the get go!

    I like the idea of building multiple fursonas. It’s something I’ve known about but never really considered. The description you have of yours sounds wonderful and unique! Describing your process is really helpful for me, it gives me a lot more to think about. The pngtuber I have is fairly plain and natural colour wise, but I might just experiment outside of that before I properly settle

    I haven’t looked much into other species, but I’ve just resonated with Red Pandas the most for a good while now. I’ll probably stick with it for at least a little bit, and when I get more comfortable I may just work on a second fursona as well!

    I say “new” but it’s more like just lurking for about 6 or so months after my “furry awakening.” I’ve sort of just experimented since that point but only ever lurked in communities such as this I just don’t know how or where to get started? The furry community is vast and ever growing, but with no artistic ability I genuinely don’t know how to come up with a fursona or where to *draw* (pardon the pun) inspired from At this point, all I have is a species that just resonates with me and not much more So, how did all of you get started when you first realized you were a furry and/or decided to create a fursona and such?
