A lovely person on twitter provided me with this link that has a mass collection of free to use bases! www.furryteens.org/forum/index.php?topic=21739.0 It's from 2015 so a few links are broken, but it's a great place to start!

Do you read all of the comments? If so, my friend and I are deciding to start making fursuits, we are only 11 so it may be hard of course. So, besides that I am trying to decide if I should do a lynx or a angel dutch dragon for my fursona/fursuit, I am deeply troubled so, please help me with this question. (I know that I shouldn't have replied to your comment because it is off topic from the actual comment but I really would like if you would reply to me, thank you!) -Kit the from G*****, Texas

Whenever I *'decide'* on a fursona, the species, name and look, I really like it for a week or two, maybe less, but then I see other designs, other colors and species and I feel I'm not attached with the old character anymore. I hate this. I just want ONE character I can feel connected too without changing it a week later. Just nothing seems to fit and idk what to do.

[@basetempest7106]

I have the same kind of trouble. I haven't found a good fit yet but maybe its cause we're going through a rapid change at this time so our likes and dislikes change very quickly. I don't know what to be, really, but i feel im starting to get a better picture of what i want to be. I've played and tested characters through rp sites and what not; different color palletes, genders, and even varied the age at times. I know that it might be a fox or some kind of canine but i don't know yet. Keep looking and look back to see if you can find a pattern in your characters. What species do you gravitate toward? Warm or Cool colors? Hybrids or Purebloods? You know, that sort of thing. Good luck!

I have a few tips myself! 1. To find a name your could do names of relatives or look at your heritage and see if your past relitives used to speak another laungage if so you could use a word from that language! 2. To find an animal or creature for it to be you could look at creatures in books you like or a hybrid or base it off your state what's the state animal 3. Now tips for picking colors you could do colors based from your state flag or take colors you like or see around you alot or even take some of your favorite things such as foods and take colors or designs from them Hope these help some furries! ♡

[@HintsofVanillla]

Shiba Sandwich, I honestly this they look cool af but thats a personal preference XD... many people think they’re kinda strange. But hey! If you want a nose ring on your fursuit then you get a nose ring on your fursuit!

[@taichikamiya4883]

Shiba Sandwich depends, even though this is just how I kinda default any attachments (yes I know the word attachments on bodies even on fur suits sounds like your trying to make a deadly weapon, but that’s just the word I can pick up right now) on bodies depending on body combinations, like if 90% of your suit is grey and black and white but with a rainbow hoodie part for that 10% then it seems a bit out of place, but yet to me as long as someone can execute it, I’m fine with it as long as they don’t go hating on others at all either (except when someone else attacking you first then fight back) but for me when I see nose piercings I favor personally just one side of the nose rather then the center part that is also small, but again that’s my opinion, if you want to still wear it, go for it, no one ain’t gonna stop u, and if they are just ignore them, they will get tired of being angry, then you can softly tell them an option of peace in mind to not be a butt in the future to others (option tho, if you just wanna ignore, sure)

Ori sure! I love how my fursona is so far and I don't want to change her too so I don't see a reason to change our fursonas.

[@Blueshark8O9]

I made a fursona named melvin Edit: Melvin is a nightmare I had as a child and I don't remember why I think of it now but I decided to make melvins kind a new species. I just need to make the first fursuit for him

[@irmyiathetimingo6788]

Blueshark809 that's really awesome. I kinda wish I had a nightmare inspired fursona :p

[@twelviebunnie]

[@Lauren-pl8no]

Wow that's pretty spicy

[@Dem1.]

this actually really helped me think of a base to start for my fursona!, as somebody whos been in the community for about 2 years and has only just started wanting to make a fursuit /fursona thanks so much pocari roo!

[@gummiwormies]

The first time i heard of furrys was maybe 4th or 5th grade from TheOdd1sOut, and i thought they were weird... Then in 6th grade i met 2 furries and they are amazing people, and 1 of them, (my best friend now, ily joey) told me to make a fursona so i was like "dang okay" and here we are years later making fursuits and being furries, so yeah..

[@windexbottle3253]

The only bad change there is, is in a relationship and u drop the guy/girl for another person. If they're a bad person I understand but if they treat you good and they really love you don't do that to them. You'll be a bad person :(

[@alexblake2122]

As of now I don't consider myself a furry, but I am interested in the fandom. The first anthropomorphic character I ever made, I based her outfit on a dream and her color and name on a toy I used to have. (I came up with the name when I was trying to name the toy because I was a kid and it just popped into my head out of nowhere)

[@alexblake2122]

I forgot to mention, I did make an anthropomorphic species before this, but I've had this character as a feral one since I was like 6 years old and only a couple months ago decided to make her anthro.

When I was in like 4th or 5th grade, we got to wear our Halloween costumes and a girl wore her furry suit, back then I didn’t know what is was but now I do, it was so sick. I think that was the first time I fell in love with the fandom.

[@justinmerritt7252]

I’m a furry because when I was little (3 or 4) I met some at a fur-con (I think. Not sure. In Raleigh) but they were adorable, I snatched my hand out of my mom’s hand and ran to them (while my OLDER sister hid and cried XD) but they inspired me. I kind of fell out of the fandom when I was little and I didn’t pick it back up until I was 11 (I’m 12 now. I’m using my dad’s account) and my fursona is a Dutch angel dragon (inspired by telephone) my name is Turtle and I was inspired by Majira and you and Skye. So yea...

[@rat2137]

Justin Merritt I was inspired by telephone but yea and I’m not sure yet for my Dutch angel dragons name yet but for now I’m sticking with Glitch 😅

[@tinahauser4486]

[@laurentaylor3221]

In thirteen and when I was little I did a lot of furry cosplay ( this of course was before I knew I was a furry) at the age of 12 I learned about them and I became kinda obsessed. Even now though I can't draw I think they're amazing.

[@ceramicteeth8484]

The way i found the fandom actually my friend showed me some art of telephone and i asked "what character is that from?" Because i thought it was some sort of character from a game or something (lol) and she told me that they were a fursuiter named telephone. At first i was super confused until she showed me some adorable videos and i was instantly hooked and wanted to learn more.

[@usoppfangirl8153]

For you people you say how they can't make fursuits, I'll let you know something. I made a Fursuit head out of nothing but cheap $10 foam and STAPLES. I got felt for fur, and I was done. It literally cost me like $20 bucks.

[@dogsissing4443]

UsoppFanGirl I’d love to try to make a fursuit head but my whole family thinks furries and fursuits are crazy so I wouldn’t be able to buy anything to make one.

[@Its_Asteria]

My parents don't like furries no matter how much I tried to explain. They don't know that I am a furry so Making a suit would be suspicious and then I'd be homeless after I finish high school

[@ShyBatRat]

UsoppFanGirl is there anywhere that i can see pictures? i am going to be making my first fursuit ever :)

[@beanbag533]

UsoppFanGirl Dude. Telling people to make Fursuits like that is bad. Using staples for it is very bad, and there is a high chance the fursuit head would fall apart. Doing it the right, patient way takes longer,but is more worth it. ovo

[@alovelydeadfish]

._. Thats a terrible way to make a head

[@JerichoRedux]

I think I officially got into the fandom cause of dance comps, I used to stay up till like 2 am watching them when I was younger ALL THE TIME

[@beetlejellies]

[@HiyuMarten]

I first found furries through Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials book trilogy (The Golden Compass/Northern Lights, etc). Was on a fan forum that centred around the concept of dæmons, and there were lots of furs there.

[@mattsipe8963]

I made three separate ones to represent different aspects of myself. They all have positive and negitive character traits and have honestly helped me sort out who I am in this moment. I see myself as a fusion of all of them with different aspects of each being highlighted at different times!

[@arodraws4175]

I was obsessed with stuffed animals when I was younger and always loved (and still love) books and shows with animal characters and I would always create myself as if I were in one of those things. Recently I have been hearing a lot about furies on the internet and have been getting kind of into it.

[@lee_artium3643]

They say: choose an animal that is sentimental Me: TRAIN- oh Whait not an animal. Trains are very sentimental for me, jumpstarted my creativity and love for manufacturing things.

[@weevilish5858]

so you haven't seen aeromorph fursuits (aeromorphs are anthropomorphic planes, i advise you look up just aeromorph fursuits instead of aeromorphs since the top results of the latter image search are pretty nsfw)? you can totally be a train if you wanted to, you just gotta figure out a way to anthropomorphize them

[@TheDemonFerretFursuits]

Lee_artiuM you could make a train based character, an animal with train like attributes, or perhaps even think about the animals that helped bring the railroad into the world! The two big ones that come immediately to mind are horses and mules, and how much they were used when laying track and bringing engines onto those tracks. It's not a pretty history, but that fact could also be used as further inspiration!

[@deventruax6587]

Lee_artiuM You could still be a anthro train. Yep

This has been the most helpful explanation of how to find your fursona that I've seen since I joined the fandom. Thank you!

[@kelseywarrick5805]

finding this in 2021-- it makes me really happy, cause ive been trying to decide on my fursona and i-- aHHH thank you for this video!!

[@lonkwuzhere4433]

ya the only reason i join the fandom is because of pocari i randomly found this channel and liked it so i watched almost every video that pocari made and destined the first sketches of liam at the time it looked like a dog tho until i ended up with my fursona Liam so i basically owe all the good experiences that i have in this fandom to pocari. and if your reading this porcari, thank you for makeing such great and inspiring videos that kept me going.

[@bluetiptails1632]

I somehow came across your channel and I immediately got hooked and that's how I got in the fandom.

[@mountaincatstreams]

I used to be hella jelly at schools with normal animal mascots cause they could have mascots and I loved how cool the suits were! Years later I'm on my 3rd main sona and still marveling over cool fursuits :p

[@InsertSona]

I don't care if I'm late, I'm still going to share my story of how I've gotten to my current Fursona, Sahara, because I can. Okay let's see... If we go back to the time I began drawing properly, so about late 2016, we can meet my first ever persona/fursona. She was named Jessie, an eevee. I guess technically she was a Pokésona, but I count her as a Fursona, as I drew her anthro (I say drew but at the time I only ever used bases) I was scared to admit that I technically stole bases so I didn't say anything about them. Instead, I continued. Over time I changed her to Flareon, back to Eevee, and then to Sylveon. HOWEVER, fast forward to early 2017. Star the alicorn (I was heavily invested in the mlp fandom at the time) joined the club. So I had Jessie the Sylveon and Star the alicorn. I was still using bases at the time, and I still wasn't crediting (oh boi I was a thief) but I was beginning to start drawing myself, but I wasn't proud of it. So I never posted any of my art. Speed to mid 2017 and Pulse the Jolteon arrived. An overpowered Mary Sue,and my second Pokésona (who I drew as a furry/anthro) so yeah. Not much happened with her, but I have made her a little less OP. In fact, she should currently be my profile picture (unless I change it) Fast forward to late 2017, and meet my first ever fursona, Carrie. I am NOT proud of her. She was a Mary Sue, and it was at the time where I was a smol Asriel fangirl. I got rid of her very quickly, and that's all you need to know. And then, finally, meet my first, long lasting Fursona, that I still have today, (but she's just a character I use now. She doesn't represent me anymore) Silver. (she was called Jessica at the time.) She was an edgy wolf girl, with grey fur, brown hair and brown eyes. She was pretty lame really. After Silver came Neko, TV and Player. I currently have only kept Neko and Player. And then, the third Fursona I had was Sheila. Another wolf, grey fur, but purple hair and eyes this time. She was a Sans fangirl (as was I) and yeah. I got rid of her recently. And now, as of yesterday (26-7-19), my Fursona is Sahara. She's a Sand Cat, (a species of cat that lives in deserts from my knowledge) with a dusty yellow colour scheme. Her eyes are a yellow brown, and I love her. She's just my smol child and she'll be staying a long time. So there you go. Story of my many personas over time. Currently I have only kept Neko, Player and Sahara. Sahara being main Fursona. I'm 13, turning 14 this year, and a proud young furry.

[@aromanticfranziskavonkarma]

I'm 9, turning 10 in 5 months(as of writing this reply), and my OC is a deer and macaw hybrid(basically a deer that has macaw wings and a macaw beak and is macaw colored)

[@calicojo3536]

I had a friend back in middle school who used to call me "CalicoJo" because my name was Jo and I loved cats. The friendship was great, but it didn't last (not from any drama, we just grew apart), but I still maintain the name "CalicoJo" as a screenname which I use across most platforms, and more relevantly it was why I chose a calico cat named Joseph to be my fursona.

the main reason I got into the Furry Fandom is due in part of wholesomeness. back in 2015, i was at a con in upstate PA when I got separated from my friends. I was so loss and having a panic attack, just then a group of furries help me find them. One even held my hand and gave comforting boops on the snoot. (thank you to BerryMelon and friends)

My first memory with the fandom was New Years Eve about 3 years ago.

Now I have my own fursona and soooooo close to getting my own suit! Yay! Good memories!
