Title: Help?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 10, 2009, 04:27:24 AM
so this topic is mostly as a plea for help. today i was having "the furry talk" with a friend of a friend who noticed my pride bumpersticker. at one point she asked me what my animal was and i had no answer. you guys have don this already...how to i pick "my animal." theres so many out there its hard to just pick one species for a fursona (and hybrids annoy me for the most part) i know this isnt absolutely necessary but i want to do it for a few reasons. one is a completion factor, i will finally have a fursona and it will feel like im finally a full furry. another is that i plan on making a fursuit (when i get a job to pay for it lol) so i want to make it according to my fursona.

but besides that i suppose i should introduce myself. for now you can call me greg (no fursona). i dont quite remember what got me into furries or when/how it happened (it seems like it started with the pron -_- *sigh*)

so im in need of a fursona, a suit, and cons. i think im finally gonna start being active in this whole furry thing and i plan on loving it! i dont have any irl furry friends and my other friends arent even close to furry (tho it doesnt faze them that i am one)

anything u want to know about me just ask ^_^ and please give me a bit of help on my fursonality crisis

well I can't help you decide a fursona, because im looking for one too, but I'll settle for an infested Terran for the time being
anyways welcome to the forum, hope you have a nice time here.

If you do choose a persona now, make it something your comfortable with, like with me being a parasite infested human

What's this?
a non fur welcome someone to the furry forums?
thats surprising

Welcome to FF!

You wanna know what animal you are, huh?
I have a method I ask my friends IRL who wanna have a fursona.

Close your eyes (turn on music if it helps), and picture a scene in your head. Whatever animal pops in your head and seems to intrigue and make you happy, is most likely the animal you're going to end up liking.
It's worked for alot of my friends.
Sometimes, I just tell them "Well are you more sly like a fox, or pretty like a kitty? Maybe loyal like a dog?"
Your fursona should be special, and you should really feel like you ARE your fursona.
^_^ Welcome to the furry world, btw.
*Shakes paws* My name is Kuro, but you can call me Eclipse.

Starting with your fave animal helps too! O_o

for me, I'm not TOTALLY firm with malamute, kinda a malamute husky arctic wolf thing.... so it all depends on how you feel at the time, Eclipse got it pretty good with the 'close your eyes' thing, but sometimes it's just a matter of trying a bunch out in your head lol

anywhoo, good luck!


OH! and I'm Manual, the local mentally unstable computer and combat guy, if you need anything or anyone done/done in just shoot me a PM lol (But really, if you need help I'm happy to be of assistance)

Hey greg or menace2socity welcome to the forums. Eclipse pretty much got you covered but I'll add a little. I made my fursona by just thinking for around 30 min. to 1 hour on what animal would be good for me. Of course as you can probably tell I chose a wolf. But as Eclipse said it has to really call out to you.

Oh yeah, and sometimes you just have an animal that reminds you of yourself or your life (I used to live in Alaska and I'm a rather large muscular guy, so an Alaskan malamute fit me lol)

wow thanks you guys. i took that quiz and got wolf as my #1. and wolves are among my favorite animals. you can expect to see a fursona on my profile in the near future and when i get the money and how-to information, maybe even a suit!

*Barks a few times and lets out an ear shattering howl* =P eh... heh... sorry, malamutes do that sometimes >_<
Title: Re: HELP?
Post by: Aqua Wolf on July 10, 2009, 06:15:44 PM

Title: Re: HELP?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 10, 2009, 07:31:02 PM

Title: Re: HELP?
Post by: Manual_automation on July 10, 2009, 07:34:01 PM
*gives you a big wolf smile* it's okay, everyone was new to everything at some point ^_^ (And you don't gotta act like a wolf if you really don't want to ;p )
Title: Re: HELP?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 11, 2009, 07:09:08 AM
no its fun. i gotta ask tho. making a fursona, im not sure if i should go with something like a cool raver wolf or a wolf who likes to rave. cuz i like to rave (not very experienced but wutevs). it just doesnt consume my life. but i also like the whole raver image. gaaah this shouldnt be hard!!!

oh and also thinking of making it a wolfcoon (yes i kno i said hybrids annoy me lol) cuz ive been digging raccoons recently but im not sure how long it would last
Title: Re: HELP?
Post by: Something on July 11, 2009, 07:20:35 AM
well yeah when i was a fur i was a jackdaw (the main reason to be a one of a kind).
But you could also chose you're favourite animal (as said above).
 



And welcome to tff!

Post by: Manual_automation on July 11, 2009, 01:35:22 PM
Hmm, a wolfcoon... that actually sounds kinda cool =P

and hey, I'm a Malamute that rocks the military scene, so if you want to rave, go for it, lot's of furries have rave-ish fursonas
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 12, 2009, 02:16:41 AM
the thing is im not sure if i want a naturally colored fur or if a black and green coat would bother me. i do want to turn this into a fursuit after all so i need to make a good choice
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Manual_automation on July 12, 2009, 02:18:26 AM
I'd go with realistic fur and wear rave clothing, OR you could have like, dyed fur parts that are obviously cosmetic or something if you're going for realism. It is all up to what you like though ^_^ play around with some doodles first.
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 12, 2009, 02:38:26 AM
yah i was thinking about making some doodles but i need to look up a few pointers on furry drawing first cuz im not the greatest artist. i tried a furry creator on newgrounds tho and i was thinking about a color scheme like this (features would change like that muzzle which i dont like) http://yfrog.com/12fursonaj

im not sure if i should do this or make a naturally colored fur with some ravey mods, like u said

Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Gabag on July 12, 2009, 03:49:09 AM
BE A HUMAN!
We're a dying breed on these here forums!
besides being a human means you can be any type of Sub human
mainly because me being a human character, I can alter it so an alien parasite manifests itself inside my character, therby making him Infested, which isnt even human at all, its a completely new thing
what I say to be human, you need to stand out somehow so your neither furry nor human, your just.... there... and that makes it all the crazier
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 12, 2009, 04:04:39 AM

Well then be something that "reflects" you.
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Manual_automation on July 12, 2009, 04:58:43 AM
hehe, there are lot's of canines on here ca's canines are an animal most humans have contact with and we feel connected to =P I know that's why I'm a malamute
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 12, 2009, 05:21:09 AM
thats true. i think wolves are just great. very proud and loyal. and raccoons are just too darned cute.

i think im definitely going with a wolfcoon. probably with mostly natural colored fur
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Moonraiser on July 12, 2009, 05:22:07 AM
That should look pretty cool, a wolfcoon.
Title: Re: Help?
Post by: Shuff Wolfcoon on July 12, 2009, 12:50:07 PM

Title: Re: Help?
Post by: ★Kuro★ on July 12, 2009, 07:53:48 PM
I used to be a raccoon furry....but I was a triple hybrid (Wolf-Raccoon-Tiger)
It's pretty fun. ^_^

And a raver wolfcoon sounds cool!

Racoons can be freaky sometimes, dude. Do not be fooled by their cute outter layer. They can be pure evil. :S
