Hey there! I'd like some help with my fursona, please!
« on: September 26, 2011, 12:47:26 AM »

I need help finding the species and look of my fursona! I like canines; dogs, wolves, etc. and my favorite colors are blue and white. I'd really appreciate the help! x3

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Well that's where you start, isn't it? You like wolves and canines. Do you identify with them?

Thanks, haha.


Hm... do I identify with them? As in, can I connect with them, you mean?

Yes. It's common to choose a fursona one has a personal bond to. The motive of a fursona is your avatar after all. Something that is "another part of you".

Canines are known to be loyal, friendly, pack animals, courageous, etc. Do any of their traits match you?

Or you can think the other way around and wonder which other species have the same traits as you already do. And that can be anything from birds to mammals to reptiles or fish or even mythological.

Oh! Well then... I really do like dogs, but I really love Crocodilians. I love dragons a lot too, but I want to have a /fursona/, not a /scalesona/. I'm not really sure how to build off of this, though. I appreciate your help, by the way.

I think this belongs in a different thread than the Meet & Greet one though, maybe Rants & Advice? If you make a thread there, it's easier for people to assist you.

Oh yeah, haha. Sorry 'bout that. Can we just... move threads like that? It'd be awesome.

I dropped a request with the "Report to moderator" button. Should be moved pretty quickly, they're good with that. :)

The beauty of creating your own fursona is that it can be anything you want. As you see, I have a demon right now but usually I use a fursona called Puncia, a winged snow leopard with purple spots.

You're free to mix species and traits as much as you want, or create a new one all together. If you like dragons and wolves, you can mix these as well.

Here is a wingless Eastern dragon with fur and strong wolven traits:
Spoiler for Hidden:
Here's a mixed dragon with with wolf paws and fur:
Spoiler for Hidden:
And here is another furred dragon that I really like personally, a Western one with bird wings:
Spoiler for Hidden:

What do you like about dragons? Is it the powers they have? The horns and claws? Wings?

Same question about wolves. What makes them special to you?

And most importantly - do you like the idea of a fursona like this? Or do you want to go in a different direction... What about a wolf with dragon horns and a really long furred dragon tail? Mix and match galore.

Wow, those are really interesting! My goodness! x]


I love dragons for their scales and their reputation to be majestic. Their wings and teeth are just bonuses! I love their tails, too.


I love wolves for their fur, and /their/ reputation to be majestic, as well! Canine teeth are awesome, and their tails are amazing!


Hm. I could try matching features, but I already have a sort of dragonsona I drew a while back... perhaps I could morph it with wolf-like features?

That is a good idea. Something personal that you modify. At least now you have some ideas swirling, which is the important part. And remember that fursonas can change whenever you feel like it too, so you can always make another or change one you have.

Yup, as Faricho has already said pretty much everything that I could have possibly thought of/have been given advice on already. My main fursona is a horse, but I also have a character list, and each of my characters I also identify with. So while not being my main fursona, they are all a part of me.

To lay it out a bit more:

Katayida (Kay) is my main fursona, and is a horse. I identify with horses the most, because of my personal roots.

Nashayan (Nash) is a character of mine, and is a white wolf. I identify with him because he's the tougher more volatile side of me, who lets the soft side out sometimes.

Septar is another character of mine, and is a blue dragon. I identify with her because she is shy and brainy. Sure, but unsure, and very serious, but also curious too.

I have plans for two other characters, a Pegasus, and a black panther, but they are still in the early developing stages. 

There's a pretty good tutorial about creating characters here: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=10009.0

Also, welcome.  :)
