I'm very pleased that I managed to make my gray fox character normal-looking enough that he blends in somewhat with the crowd. My only previous ref of the character was very special snowflakey (he had two tails and a dragon dick) but when that thread happened I made a real concerted effort to make him less of a faggot as I hope I've become in the intervening time.
I should probs get a better ref at some stage, though, because two things I did keep were his blue eyes and his wedding ring, which the ref doesn't depict in enough detail.

Honestly in my experience when most people start off with designing a fursona they just start simple and go from there, because it's usually after that they discover what it is they like about the character and learn how to emphasize it in the design. When I was designing mine I relied heavily on other artists to help me out with making interesting fur patterns and what have you, but the character never really suited me until I brought the design back to basics and allowed his personality to be expressed through my behavior in roleplay instead.

yeah, pretty much this. You might be surprised how many normies around you have really autistic interests, the stereotypical example being a model train set.

Of course that's still slightly more autistic than the average average person might do, so what you want to look for instead is collections. Collections of objects. You might know some closeted board gamers who like collecting minifigures from their favorite franchises, or more urban kids who do posters of their favorite rappers, or even something as simple as collections of albums from their favorite musicians. All little autistic interests that they probably keep totally secret and are just begging for someone to talk to about.

I kind of fucked up by not mentioning this before but it slipped my mind, the colors are supposed to blend together rather than being sharp like that. The way I filled them out was only an approximation of a much more fuzzy fur pattern based on the natural fur of a gray fox.
You did a great job, though. I think I like him looking girly like that; it kind of fits the character. I think you got his muscle mass right as well, so I don't really have any complaints. Also the eye color is absolutely spot-on; I use my real eyes as a reference marker and it's pretty much exact.

There's some confusion among the general public about what qualifies as a "gray fox," because there are a lot of fox breeds that have "gray" fur. Most people seem to get gray foxes confused with silver foxes, which is not a breed but a mutation on the fur color of the red fox. Then there's the kit fox, which looks almost exactly like a gray fox but gets a bit more clout among furries because they're tinier and cuter. I could go on, the list is quite long, but the point is gray is just as common a color for foxes as orange or red, so people do get confused when they hear "gray fox" and don't realize you're talking about a specific species. Kind of like how Culpeo Fox on deviantART lamented that people assumed she had just made up a fox species rather than simply choosing her favorite as a username.

I still find OC's to be on average leagues above even the best fursonas both designwise and in terms of personality.
I don't think fursonas/OC's interacting is problem at all.
The main reason OC's are better than fursonas is because fursonas are supposed to represent their owners whereas OC's don't.
Criticizing or not liking someones fursona is taken as personal affront since fursonas are supposed to be you personally whereas OC's aren't and thus can be disliked/criticized freely without it reflecting poorly on the owner themselves.

That's because largly, fursonas are just designed to be appearance, only.

>>47107
a fursona is an OC but OCs aren't necessary fursonas. first of all a core issue with suggesting a fursona has to literally be the owner's personality is that correctly distilling personality like that is rather difficult. most people don't fully recognize their own personality traits (especially flaws: read up on shadows in Jungian psychology). second of all by nature the definition of a persona (of which fursona is an alteration of) is Jungian psychology itself, which is explicitly defined as:
>the social face the individual presented to the world---"a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual".
a fursona is very literally this, the social mask to present yourself within a given furry community, concealing the fact that antediluvia is actually a 400lb thing behind the computer.
functionally, a fursona will frequently but not necessarily include a lot of the owner's personality, but generally curated to maximize appeal towards their specific social goal, which can include being hated or bullied (bad attention is better than no attention, and all that.) being online in general easily facilitates having a particular persona that's not wholly accurate to the individual's true nature given the intrinsic anonymity, loss of tone of voice and body language, and being able to carefully choose your words before posting. I only mention this before because the difference can be drastic between online and offline, which I've been burned pretty hard by an ex in the past. even if you've been speaking with someone online for half of a decade or longer, you don't know the full extent of their personality because so much of it is body language and subconscious quirks. (irl I stutter by repeating my sentence halfway through speaking, and I didn't know until just a few years ago. turns out if I don't like how I said or am saying the word/sentence the first time I just say it again and most of the time I'm not even aware that I started over. some people find this cute, some people find it annoying.)

if I can refine my lineart more then I think I'll feel comfortable at least relaying concepts through my art, where I'll probably fully explore how I want my fursona to look, since most of the (one piece per year) art I've commissioned is generally just generic red panda. one day I might want to even try to make a comic as a medium for storytelling since writing doesn't engage me well enough for that

You can tell a lot about someone by the things they don't say, and that includes what they try to cover up with their fursona. So I don't think fursonas are as effective as you say they are at masking imperfections. Other than that, A++ post.

I would argue none of this changes that a fursona is the owner, in all effect. They're not a separate entity as is a self insert.
Just because you're putting only your positives forward doesn't mean it isn't you, as it were. Hell, in all likelihood, it's nothing like you actually are, but that's not the point. Point is, it was what you perceive yourself as, or perhaps more accurately, what you want others to perceive you as.
A self insert has its own history. It is its own character. It's not supposed to be you even as a self insert, ultimately. It's supposed to be you in that situation, sure, but not simply, flatly put, you.

yeah, but then you're getting into deeper and more specific psychology like with the shadows. it is very interesting though that we can be blind to parts of our own personality that is incredibly obvious to other people. this is probably the same oblivious nature that builds into biases of course, and can be countered with self-awareness but not many people actively exercise that sort of thing.
that said, I never suggested fursonas are actually effective. they can be, but not always. some children will act out in ways that make them seem healthy when really they're struggling greatly with themselves; others will act out in ways where everyone sighs and rolls their eyes. additionally, people who are humble usually don't recognize it so much in themselves, so it's not just negative traits.
>>47141
this is all true in parts, but again it's getting a little bit deeper into psychology. it acts as a mask, whether effective or not, which means that it's not *literally* your personality, unless you were to argue that the act of putting on the mask (and, similarly, projecting) is part of your personality, which I'm not well-versed enough on the subject to say if that's true, but I would argue it's not part of your actual personality and is instead part of something more elastic like current confidence/esteem or mental health.
as far as a self-insert goes, I wasn't really arguing on that at all, but a self-insert is much more what an individual perceives themselves as.
>It's supposed to be you in that situation
that's pretty true of fursonas and, to an extent, the persona in general. just physiologically speaking it's hard to say how we would actually act when it's a completely different body with completely different rules, so making a 1:1 comparison isn't exactly fair. and like I touched on, just being online changes the way we act even if it's in very slight ways. for example, there's no stuttering in my posts, because I had adequate time to form and proofread these sentences. not that it's a hugely meaningful distinction, mind you.
I think a much more adequate way to separate personas and self-inserts (which you had touched on) is that personas are an organic extension of yourself which you are actively living through (because you experience everything your persona experiences, it's just how you react to these experiences are molded for social expectation) and self-inserts are a self-formed projection that you inactively live through (i.e. vicariously - you don't experience those actions, but a character you directly identify with does).

You act like it being a mask matters. It's still you behind the mask. It isn't supposed to be its own character.
This doesn't change what I'm arguing. A fursona and an OC are separate as one is intended to be you, not its own character.
No, fursonas are just supposed to be you. They aren't supposed to have any history or context to them. As you say, they're supposed to be masks.
Meanwhile, a self-insert is its own character, ultimately. It may well be your view of yourself, it may well be what you'd be like in that situation, but it is not actually you. It is not a mask. It is a character of its own.

>Thus for Jung "the danger is that [people] become identical with their personas---the professor with his textbook, the tenor with his voice."[3] The result could be "the shallow, brittle, conformist kind of personality which is 'all persona', with its excessive concern for 'what people think'"[4]—an unreflecting state of mind 'in which people are utterly unconscious of any distinction between themselves and the world in which they live. They have little or no concept of themselves as beings distinct from what society expects of them'.
masks are, by being masks, literally not you. In fact, they are so much not you that too much reliance on the mask erodes away the you behind the mask.
actors and comedians adopt a persona for their performances, taking on a specific role with, often, a different personality. these roles they perform are not just them. their acts are to suspend the difference between who they are behind the mask and who they are pretending to be. again, a fursona is an OC but an OC is not necessarily a fursona; a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square.
the core difference between a persona and a self-insert, then, is the active or inactive role in experiences felt.

That's a massively different fish, mate. Actors aren't playing idealized versions of themselves. They're playing characters, separate from themselves. They are playing a role. The characters are not the actors, not because they're the actor's persona, but because they are characters in their own right with or without the actor.
In this case, while it is a mask, it's the mask of somebody else. They are not pretending to be themselves, they're pretending to be a character.

it's actually impressive just how many keywords this core definition of the word persona hits for what our discussion was.
>You know damn well this isn't the fucking context we're discussing the term in.
I presume this is where the core of your current argument comes from, but the psychological version of persona is rooted in the core definition of persona. it is the social face the individual presented to the world, just as in acting. the only difference between the standard definition and the psychological definition is if it's on stage or not. which is irrelevant. the psychological persona you put forward does not have to be intrinsically related to you in any way, because it is also acting. not really dishonest.

I've already adressed the lot. Words have different meanings depending on where they are used. We are not talking about the 'persona' an actor plays, we're talking about the persona one creates of themselves.
When an actor puts on a 'persona', he's pretending to be a character. He is not pretending to be an idealized version of himself. He's playing a role. This is why I said it was a completely different fish. Because that's not the fucking context we're talking about the lot in, you complete trashheap.

I was on the side of "fursonas are just a type of OC" until I wound up rewording that last post in my attempts to make a more concise version of each argument.
It really is kinda hard to call a fursona a character when it has nothing to call its own and everything about that thing in the picture is dependent on whoever is using it.
You could have three different people play WIlly Wonka and they'd all be Willy Wonka.
If you have three different people pretend to be some fursona, you're going to get three different results since there's no character to pretend to be.

I did read it, because I intend to argue in good faith. I think you have a core misunderstanding of what some words mean. It comes out in the points you're arguing:
>we're talking about the persona one creates of themselves.
>He is not pretending to be an idealized version of himself.
we're talking about fursonas which are personas but of furred creatures. as much as it may be based on the individual, it will, under no circumstance, be 100% them. read on, as this includes you:
>>47173
>It really is kinda hard to call a fursona a character
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/character
>the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing.
the aggregate of features that make up you individual posters are that of a character. we are all individual characters, though that feels dehumanizing to actively state.
if you were to somehow magically adopt a fursona that was 100% a representation of your own personality, then that's not a persona; it's you. also, it's impossible because physical traits count towards the aggregate of a character, so your fursona would have to physically appear as you do.
incidentally, an idealized version of yourself is a character.
again, a fursona is an OC, but an OC isn't necessarily a fursona.
>>47172
at this point your argument is becoming incomprehensible for all the slurs you are slinging my way. again, a persona you create based on yourself, which by your own words is idealized is intrinsically a character, even if it's based on yourself. besides all that, the crux of the purpose of a persona under all definitions and contexts is how it performs in a social role.

No, fursonas are literally supposed to be the creator. If you don't understand this, clearly you don't even know what a fursona is to begin with.
Which does explain why you're such a shithound, to be honest.
The 'slurs' are all clearly separated by a comma on each line. It's in no way "incomprehensible".
"Idealized" does not make it a separate entity. It has no history, no identity, no personality. It is just you, with the only difference to being exactly as you are that it's how you want to be seen.

For the record, I'm actually about 140 pounds, so it would have been equally as wrong.
As for the fursona thing, I take a more practical approach to things. Obviously I'm not a coonfox in real life; neither am I a child, or an immortal spirit of fire and entropy, or in possession of world-spanning, indelible, encyclopedic knowledge though people who watch me play Jeopardy! might think I am.... Some parts may be an idealized version of my personality, but are distinct because he's a different person. At best he would be INSPIRED by me, and my tastes and likes/dislikes, less BASED ON me. So only me, if I really were an immortal walking textbook coonfox child; obviously it changes the personality around. Increasingly, when writing about him, if the question arises "what should he do here?", the answer isn't "whatever *I* would do".
However, I would still describe him as a fursona, because it's how all you fuckers know me. As was mentioned, it's the "mask" I wear while I am here and in other furry-centric places.

That's the problem with your argument.
There's only an idea of a fursona.
There's no fursona character to pretend to be.
You're trying to argue that a person uses the fursona as a mask, when the person is really just using the fursona as a place to hold their mask.
That person can move their mask to any other 'sona they want or change what the fursona that holds it looks like.
They might even have a favorite combination, but their mask is always going to be tied to them, not what they decide to hang it on because the mannequin isn't a character.
The second you can say a character would do something regardless of how the person playing them feels about it, then you've got a character.

This is probably why that whole argument even got started, another word with multiple meanings.
Some people see fursona and think it's whatever character the person uses to act themselves out.
Others see fursona and just think it's whatever character the person uses to avatarfag with.
It's just as bad as that fucking question, "Are you a furry?"

the problem is if you take 'fursona' to be a root of 'persona' (why wouldn't you) then no matter how you slice it, by definition it involves acting out a social role, particularly concealing the individual's true nature.
and then some people don't understand what these words mean and start saying weird things like how a fursona is supposed to literally be the creator.

I wish there was like an interior decorater of furry feng-shui or some stupid shit that could give me the answer to how I can make a fursona that I can vibe with while also being somewhat unique.
I mean, I got my mind set on fox or wolf, but really do not want to settle for being fox #47583 or wolf #987752, and I certainly do not want to go the sparkledog route (and definitely not that gay ass tribal fur patern shit) so I figured a hybrid of some sort is best for me.
Like a fox or wolf combined with one of my secondary choices, a coyote or a raccoon, but any order of combinations between a fox/wolf/coyote just end up looking like a boring ass dog, and someone already did fox and raccoon in this thread so now I just feel like I'm copying them.
Im not expecting to be 1 of 1, but how do you guys figure this shit out?

for me it took a long time of refinement. when I was younger my fursona was a cat and was basically just a character to eRP with, but now my fursona has morphed into a character representing things totemic to my life, the main one being red panda and the other being, basically, long ears. the combination was pretty obvious for me. these things both just appeal to me in a way nothing else does
>someone already did fox and raccoon in this thread so now I just feel like I'm copying them.
you're not 100% unique in physical appearance IRL. I mean, I guess if you consider proportions and bone density and just all of the variety of things that could change in your body maybe you're unique? but on the level comparable to just species, you're not that unique. Many other people have the same hair colour, skin colour, etc..
so why get caught up excessively on your appearance being that of someone else's? the difference in personality also applies
anyway, the easiest thing to do moving forward is to consider explicit pelt patterns. within canines and felines there are an absurd amount of pelts to choose from. I haven't ever seen, for example, a calico wolf. that might be interesting.

ah, unfortunately it's not actually my fursona. I don't know what species this character is meant to be, but the artist makes a lot of adorable stuff featuring his long-eared character and I love it.
which I mean, yeah, I don't have any good representations of my own fursona but that's because I'm a poor wage slave who can't afford putting so much money towards art like ante. the only commission I have of my red panda with long ears is from Tohfu and it's just a bust shot.

Don't be silly. There's a hundred-thousand fox/raccoon hybrid characters floating around, and none of them are exactly alike. If you want to be a fox, just pick a rarer fox. There are plenty to choose from, pic related. Just going with a fox that isn't a generic red fox or fennec fox is very distinctive, particularly if you can get the artist to get a good rendering of the fur patterns.

Well, after thinking it over for a night I somehow ended up at husky. I dunno, a husky fursona just clicks with me more than any other species for some reason. I have enough in common with the "stereotypes" of the species to use as a base to develop him into his own character, while still retaining some of my traits. They're popular, but not overdone like foxes or wolves, and I think there's a lot of room for a unique fur pattern that's still natural looking, so that's a plus.
Plus, they have the whole winter thing going for them, like parkas and jackets, which Ive always liked to wear, and I think it looks pretty sexy on them. Then theres the whole sled dog harness/BDSM thing they have which i think is pretty damn hot. I mean, any species could wear a harness, but the sled dog harness is like a kink trademarked by huskies.
It's a nice feeling finally figuring that out. Too bad I can't draw :/

Well, I've had a few ideas floating around, but basically this.
I want the face patern of the first pic, the sliver of white in between the eyes on the forehead, with the black fur continuing down the bridge of the nose and the little lines going underneath each eye, and little white blotchs above each eye, like "eyebrows", with blue eyes like the second pic.
And the for the fur color and body pattern, just a generic dark-grey on off-white with the same pattern as pic 2 and 3.
Does anyone draw? I figure my best bet is begging/pan-handling over in the draw thread. All I really need is a simple sketch showing the face pattern, so I can have something to reference.

debating changing my pseudo-fursona pseudo-self insert character from a generifox to a generidog.
on the one hand it fits better with their intended story roles and origins, on the other because i've owned a dog there's something weird feeling about projecting onto it compared to foxes, which i've only ever encountered at a distance.
there's also the secondary problem that an asocial dog seems less plausible than an asocial fox. (which is amusing in a way since sticking to semi-plausible animal behaviours only recently became a concern.)

Hey guys. I've finally stumbled upon that miracle formula of free time + motivation, so I'm getting down to building my very first fursona. I've always felt more like a scaly than a furry, but I also like feathers, so to be just a little bit different I thought it would be fun to be a couatl.
I came up with two versions, one that's sorta monsterous and one that more conforms to the anthro furry archetype. I don't like that "shapeshifting" crap, so I gotta decide on one as my official form.
Do either of these look good? Which would you rather hug? Which would you rather fug?Which form do you think I should go with, and what would you do to improve it? Also, how can I go from almost-drawfag to drawfag by learning how to add texture to things?

I would go with #1. It's much more exotic, and its serpentine body is a really cute feature you would lose with the other design. For an improvement, I would redo the junction of the arms, torso and neck. Right now it's big on the bottom and thinner at the top, and I think it'd look better if it were gradually tapered. Of course, I'm not an artist and it's probably easier said than done. And as for my personal taste, I think wing-arms would look good on him as well.
Also, Thanks doc.

I agree, but to be perfectly objective about this, many people (and MOST furries, as a whole) here think otherwise. Also, those "eyelashes" is just a crease on the edge of the eye. That's grasping at straws.
