This is an awesome idea o:
And your friend should join this forum if he can and wants to ;D So we can show him personally how easy it is to make furry friends!
As for reference, if you could include me, that would be awesome ;3;
Here is the WIP, it's basically done, but the side markings will be removed:

I've got three fursonas/characters.
Feel free to add any of them if you like.(http://img13.deviantart.net/310d/i/2016/320/5/7/1437267551_chezana_1436026291_folly854_chezana_ref_by_zaryte-daoof2r.jpg)

Oh wow, I like what you did, Euharmonics! I like how colourful and everything it is. ;-;
It was a very nice surprise to see you could still include me as well, thank you *offers a hug*
Also, don't sell yourself short! You say you couldn't add most of us? But I see you did add most of us. Perhaps not everyone who replied to this thread, but one can see you surely tried your best and added almost everyone who commented here.
It was a very awesome video to watch, and it's very nice you did this project to thank TFF and its members ;3;
If there is one thing I would like to critique about, it is that the frames for each character is really short. A bit too short/quick. You put a lot of detail in each character and drew each different from the other. You put quite a few of characters in 1 second, that it's hard to see them. So now people either need to rewatch the video more than once, or they would need to pause the video every time to see the characters in their full.(I know at least I do o3o) And that's a shame, because you put in quite some effort to draw each character, too! Don't be afraid to make it a bit longer and show it off more :P
