HOW TO MAKE A FURSONA | Furry Character Creation 101

[@Architector_4]

Note that you don't need a fursona to be in the fandom. I don't have one, yet manage to be there just fine!

[@BetaEtaDelota]

This! You can enjoy the fandom all the same with or without a fursona! Don't feel like you HAVE to make one if you don't want one!

[@Architector_4]

Yeah. I feel like a forced fursona might even be a detriment to how people see you, in and/or out of the fandom. So if you don't really feel like making one, why bother?

[@wodzol1364]

Right now I’m not sure about what my fursona should be. Or if I should change my fursona because I’ve changed after a while.

[@Architector_4]

Remember the first time he said that in a video? He had no idea why we wanted him to say that, and said it right after "I don't know why, but so many people want me to say this...". lol

[@DirtyDerg]

@Tip of the Riceburg Something pure an innocent. It's like when somebody says, "Stay cool." Lifejacket just refers to his overall caricature.

[@Futuregayguy]

Really? because after watching this video my fursona (that im working on) turned into a regular fursona that can turn into a demonic void overlord which is going to be a bitch to draw

Thank you so much for naming this video!! The character I came up with and identify with is one that does not represent me much, it’s more his own thing and I always thought a fursona has to be an extension of yourself, but you made me realize that you can portray yourself in the fandom any way you want!! Thanks again!!!

Well said Beta, you've not only encouraged peoples creativity but you also encouraged people to be proud of the Fursona they have already created, I'm certainly one those people. Thank you for making this awsome video!

[@CitraStitches]

I used to design fursonas based on my favorite colors and animals and give them similar markings to others in the fandom. It was only when I branched out and experimented that I found a design I loved. It's not representative of me in many ways physically, but I'm more connected to it than any design in the past.

[@guilhermerafaelzimermann4196]

I really like the part saying how you can change your fursona at any time, and i feel like that's important to remember, because when i was a lot younger i had a fursona that over time i grew to really dislike, so i completely scrapped the character, i still kept some of the design aspects (such as colors, tail maws, etc) for my new character, whom i put a lot more thought into and ended up being much better

[@dutchieetheoneandonly3866]

This helped me so much ❤, I was so stuck on creating my fursona, staring at my piece of paper wondering what to write. I searched up how to make my fursona And I watched this. After watching this I got so many ideas that had things that make me me, and I have my fursona now! Thank you so much for your help on this❤

[@blankspace8707]

It took me a while to make my fursona mainly because of the species. I couldn't choose one, but I finally decided on a squirrel because they are precious children ❤️❤️❤️❤️ his colours are yellow, lime green and lavender because those are the same colours as my bedroom walls. Even tho that was actually a coincidence because I was using a random colour generator when those colours came up, and I really liked them probably cuz I see them everyday and it's my bedroom... for a long time I thought I would never find a fursona, but once I did it was the most amazing thing ever I was just like OwO yes

I know you were joking but I just wanted to point that out, if someone cares about the content they create, in example, furry art.

Thanks this helps a lot cause at first I wanted to make a fursona of a wendigo or deer mixed with a lion but my acquaintance said I should just do a fox or wolf cause my personality that they knew got it better and said "They are both pretty plain like you and you are far from a fursona of a lion, you are to boring and calm to have that but a skittish deer should fit you well" I no longer speak to them cause of this and other reasons, SO AGIAN THANK YOU SO MUCH!

i definitly agree with all of this! you explain a lot that was right for designing a fursona and im glad you made this video!

[@wingidon]

Watching this video after having already made my own fursona, almost everything here would've been useful. I was mainly inspired by Raeal the Protogen. Saw it, and I was like "Yes". Now my 'sona is a navy-blue floofball protogen tech nerd with wings that're like the size of their entire body. I could probably make another one, I'm no stranger to making 22 different- er, sorry, I mean, a single new character. Either way, I'll definitely keep this in mind in the future. Thanks for the tips, Beta. May your lifejacket keep you safe in the tough times of 2022

Adler animated intro! And just in time for summer :D I sort of base my two main OCs on my personality (but amplified). One of them is cheery and kind hearted (which I try to be) but very curious and likes to ask questions. My other one is the "bad side" of me. He's sleepy, lazy, grumpy and doesn't enjoy social interaction. (Very stiff to talk to... quite literally). I think I would honestly want to perform in the second OC versus the first one. Because 1, I do get lazy and sleepy alot... and I'm a shy person. But 2, I feel acting over the top grumpy would help with any actual frustration I may have, because that "acting grumpy" can easily be shown as "he's so cute when he acts like that" kind of manner. It would be to the point where it was funny to watch. (Think Tayerr)

That intro was adorable-

[@josharko111]

And then there's me, who had something like 20 unused D&D characters before joining the fandom. Naturally I used one of them as a fursona. Kobolds are best bois and gorls. Awkward thing is, being a D&D character, he already has a ton of backstory stuff that makes him difficult to roleplay in a furry setting. Example: he's engaged to one of my other characters, whereas I've been single my entire life IRL. Makes for some awkward situations when ERP starts up over discord. My advice: Making a D&D fursona is a good idea in my opinion, especially if you want to add a bit of additional flavor to the character. Just avoid making the backstory too over-the-top so you don't face situations like mine :)

[@josharko111]
