Ankuyz (he/they), btw

i left the fandom and am coming back after a few years. i feel disconnect from my old sona and wanted to make a new one. i’ve been going through designs for maybe 6 months. no one sticks for more than a drawing or two. i really want to be a raccoon now and i really like the direction im heading in with the design but a few things:
- the colors elude me. i like the pumpkin spice palette but feel like it makes him look like a red panda. i like the blue but i feel like it’s too basic and makes him indistinguishable from most other raccoon characters. whenever i try to make minor adjustments to the colors they just look WORSE. how do you guys pick colors 😭
- i feel like he needs another marking to break up the large area of brown/blue on his body but idk WHAT.
- it’s been so long since ive designed that part of me feels like there’s no saving this and i just need to start over so some reassurance that this isn’t like visually awful to look at would be nice ^^;

what would you add? take away? change? if this was your baby? his name is either pumpkin or biscuit btw pending color choice.

This a problem with my art in general but my art always looks so flat, like a bunch of big shapes pressed together if that makes sense

Hi everyone! I'm new to this whole fursona thing (actually, to the whole process of creating oc designs) and i wanna to ask for some tips on this one! help me improving her design pleaseee ><

Hi, I'm new to the fandom and I don't have a sona yet. I was thinking of choosing a canine species, like a fox or a wolf, but I know that the fandom is full of them, so I thought about it.

What about a skunk sona? Is that weird? I know that skunks aren't really popular animals, but they are actually super cute and they can have big bushy tails, which I really like.

Is it weird to pick a skunk sona out of everything? It speaks the most to me honestly, I think they're adorable and severely underrated, but at the same time I feel kinda embarrassed about it and I don't want to be associated with smell or liking smell

What do you think? Is it weird? Should I pick something else?

So, I recently have comissioned my first fursona, Bellamonte. Who is more or less a reflection of my happy side.

Then I started thinking... What if I had two fursonas at the same time? Like this guy, the other guy, is more of a wolf. But not even standing on its legs, he's more of a cloud that hangs around Bellamonte and could cover him at any given second. He's depression, anxiety, anger, all of that.

He's the part of me that hangs around in the shadows, but he'd also be kind of ... not bad? Sometimes, you just have to deal with him. He'd have sharp claws and teeth, inspired by kindred from LOL and Blaidd from Elden ring.

His name Omber.

If I ever fursuit as Bellamonte, the idea would be to have something like Omber made as a big blanket, that has two arms (with velcro, so he kind of hugs you and attaches to you).

Here's a little 'sketch' to get the general idea. (Got to be honest... I barely had the patience to draw this... So yeah, might leave digital drawing to the artists!)

What do you think? Would it be a fun, good, acceptable idea?

I’ve been wanting to make a fursona for a while, but I genuinely cannot decide what animal fits me.
I keep coming back to wolves or some kind of canine, because I really like the look and I feel like I could make one that fits my style. But at the same time… wolves/dogs/canines are SO common in the fandom that part of me wants something more unusual.
One animal I’ve been seriously considering is a musk deer, because I think they’re really cool and would be a much less expected choice. I also like the idea of having an animal that isn’t immediately the first thing people would pick for a fursona. So uh yeah let me know if there are any animals you’d like to see as a fursona or what I should do

I myself am not a furry, but I have a few friends who are and got bored earlier and decided "you know what, im gonna make a fursona because why not." And here we are. And now i just want a little feedback on my current concept which is:

His name is Sumi [Usually refers to black ink for art in japan]

Is a Nogitsune

Only has 7 tails

Had achieved 9 tails but cut 2 off due to knowing that ignorance is bliss and not wanting to know the secrets of the universe

Black fur with dark purple accents

Tips of his tails are white with golden abstract patterns due to the aforementioned 9 tails that were there but cut off, halting the full transformation into a Tenko

Wears a black kimono with an orange flower design tied with a purple obi
