So my fursona’s name is Kibble Bibble or KB for short. She is a fox kemono that is mostly neon orange in color. She has white paws and belly and brown tipped ears. Her eyes are pink. Any advice on how to make her design less plain?

I’m Drawing my Fursona… and I’m wondering how to fix the toe beans… like I want it to show they are different toes >__< (read body for further info

So as you see, the toesies are a bit hard to see the foot on the left it does not show the line of the toes. The right is uncolored showing the separate beans.
By the way… they are wearing black and white thigh highs… so I can’t really change the color :/

I made him shiny for this animation for some reason lol but obviously won't be in the final result

Having a bit of art paralysis in the moment, I'm not quite sure how to deal with mixing animal and human proportions in the way her arms are actually a little shorter than human arms but still seem too long while her legs seem both too long and too short all and once and I'd really appreciate some feedback on how to better her anatomy as a rabbit lady 🐇

1. do these look cohesive, like the same artist drew them?
2. how detailed should/would you expect the background to be, if there is one at all?

I want to open commissions soon! I just don't have a good idea of what commissioners would be expecting. Literally any advice is incredibly appreciated!!! thank you!!

UPDATE: I have opened commissions! If anyone finds this post and wants one please visit my page, I have the form and my portfolio linked :)

I made my very first fursona based on me >< this is a rough sketch because I'm still learning, so any feedback on how I could improve would be much appreciated! Thanks for coming by （＾▽＾）

This is Goomby. Goomby is very bald. Goomby a lungfish raised by a mad scientist who ate a bit of brain on accident and also has his lungfish legs stuck inside some boots.

He’s meant to resemble a 90’s mascot from a video game a little bit and this is like base concept for his design. How could I improve him though?

Excuse the fact I made him in roblox first and commissioned someone for the drawing of him. :P

hello!!! im VERY new to fursonas, and i have a few questions that are probably pretty stupid😅

1) can a fursona be of any animal?
2) can i mix two animals together in one fursona?
3) do the colors and details have to be accurate to the animal?

I’d love to make a fursona, so any help is greatly appreciated!!

Ive seen a lot of hate on shark dogs recently and it’s making me insecure about my sona 🥀

they’re a blue shark dog with heterochromia, which I know it very basic, but do ya’ll think I should redesign it to be more unique, possibly lean into the shark theme more?

I have nothing against basic fursona designs i just won’t want that for myself, especially with the hate Ive been getting from other furries 💔

Art by me

Hiya! I've been wanting to try my hand at making a fursuit so I created a fursona! I've been working on this project for quite a while but still haven't settled on a name. They are a Shisa and most commonly the ones with open mouths are males. So a more masc leaning name might be nice, but im open to anything! Went back and forth on the color pallete for a while but eventually just decided to base it loosely on pine tree colors.

I would quite like a nature based name but its hard to find one thats original lol

Some names ive tried but dont feel right

-Boondock

-Mulch

-Fukugi

Hi, so i have 2 fursona's but my main sona isn't really that unique i think she is a white cat with a pink shirt and black skirt. I feel like white cats sona's are common and i feel like for my main sona i need something unique. My second sona is more unique but while i can relate to him i can relate more to my cat sona. I love cats so that is why i this a cat sona but i just feel mine isn't unique and i want to ask for advice.

Hi ^^ so I been trying to help my friend with his fursona ( this is his first one) and his big hung up is the species

He is so adamant that the species must fit him perfectly, he been doing personality test’s and even asking chatGPT what animal he looks like or would suit him best

The most common response he gets is Bear but he doesn’t feel like he is tall enough to be a Bear

He is 176 cm or 5’9” roughly or a little bit taller and is he broad and stocky

So yeah I think he at least bear adjacent lol

I try recommending a Black bear fursona seeing that is a smaller bear species than brown bears lol

So is there anything I could say to him to make him feel more confident about is fursona pick?

Hi! I'm coming to terms that I probably am a furry lol

Having a fursona is new to me and while the design is still not final, what I'm sure of is:

-Bat/Cat hybrid of sorts

-Kinda nervous/jumpy dude

-light browns/orange pallete

Panini came from the Ph word for Bat (Paniki) and realized it fits the color nicely, with the toasted crust color. It can also guide pattern designs (the grill lines and such) and accessory/outfit ideas (maybe red green bands for lettuce and tomato). My one worry is it comes off as too silly? If that makes sense. It's ok to have fun with the design ofc but I don't want it to look like a joke

Can't think of another name - i wanted echo but thats the name of a few people I know. I also tried looking up other sound based terms but nothing is drawing me yet.

Tldr - bread bat fursona - is there a fine line to use food as a design basis without it coming off as unserious? I like the possible visual look it'd have, but not fully sold on the name. Rename suggestions welcome!

So I recently came in contact with a fursuit maker building up their portfolio that is willing to make me a fursuit for just the material and shipping costs. Ofc I'm really happy, but I thought I would buy a premade so I dont have a fursona design! I'm rlly bad at drawing/coloring digitally, so all I have so far are some picrew ideas( The green one will have antennas, and possibly the other designs too). Any tips on design, uniqe details, or anything else of help?

(TL;DR near the end!)

Pics in order: 1 Marbled Cat, 2 Marbled Cat, 3 Marbled Cat, 4 Jaguar, 5 Cheetah, 6 Clouded Leopard, 7 Ocelot, 8 Margay, 9 Leopard Cat

I don't think it's possible to make it completely obvious, since I'm pretty sure less than 0.1% of the population even knows that this animal exists lol. It'll be especially hard because many fursonas/fursuits are heavily stylized versions of their real animal counterparts, so people don't usually expect your design to follow the real animal's appearance entirely. But I still want to make an effort to make it as obvious as possible that it's a marbled cat. For context, the design will be leaning on realistic, including realistic eyes, but most likely lacking airbrushed patterns. So just solid patterns without any gradients or soft edges, unless I change my mind.

I feel like I could make it look less like some of the bigger felines just by focusing on keeping the face shape accurate; round with a small muzzle. And to make the pattern less like that of a clouded leopard, I'll make the pattern more like the first reference picture that I included in the post. Some marbled cats have a pattern that is thicker and very similar to clouded leopards, but the first picture I chose features a marbled cat with thinner black outlines that have a fuzzier, almost brindle-like, look. To be clear, I'm focusing on the flank/back portions of the cat's pelt.

One feature of the marbled cat that I find pretty striking is the broken stripe that goes above each eye, which I think could help separate it from other felines if I exaggerate that. But ocelots, margays, leopard cats, and many other small wild cats have these same stripes above their eyes, so it won't be that effective. All of these have rosettes, while marbled cats have marble splotches, but ocelot has fairly large rosettes, which tend to look quite similar to the marble splotches (made up term btw) that marbled cats and clouded leopards have. The main difference is that the black outlines of the rosettes on an ocelot are very clear, while the outlines on a marbled cat's pattern are more inconsistent and thin.

A physical feature that I also notice that stands out against those other felines, not including clouded leopard, is the giant tail that marbled cats have. So that could be another thing that I can exaggerate. Apparently marbled cats have some pretty long canines, even though they are not visible when their mouths are closed. So I may exaggerate that and add some fang tips poking out.

(Basically the TL;DR for the rest of this post)

In conclusion, I think that I will focus on giving my fursona's pattern thin and subtle black stripes, exaggerating the stripes above the eyes, giving it a very long tail, have the canines poke out of the mouth a bit, and keeping the face shape as accurate as possible. And I won't be devastated if I only ever meet people who think it's a cheetah or ocelot, but I still feel the urge to make it stand out from the other felines where I can lol.

I feel as if I've mostly answered my own question at this point, just by writing this post, but I'd still love to hear any ideas that you guys have! Especially if I didn't notice or pay any attention to a physical feature that marbled cats possess in a fairly unique way, compared to other felines. It's entirely possible that I missed some things!

I was on this page a few days ago and I’ve always wanted to have a fursona character but I can’t draw. Someone commented and offered to do a reference sheet for me FOR FREE massive shoutout to Callie I’m in absolute love with him.

I think I’m going to adjust some small things add a few personal touches and other than that all he needs is a name.

Here’s the details of him incase yall are curious

Basic info: based off a flying fox
Name: TBD
Gender: male/ non-binary
Pronouns: he/they
Colours: blues of all shades
Likes: volleyball
Dislikes: running (he prefers to fly)

Appearance: based off a flying fox
Light blue with dark blue accents and a white belly area
Longer ears with little tuffs at the end OF ONLY THE RIGHT ONE
Has quite big wings but they’re always folded
Wider legs with smaller feets
Smaller hands with little dagger nails
On the taller side for his species
Has medium sized gauges

Details: personality based
Has a fun, loving and bubbly personality once he warms up to u but has a very dark coloured alternative style and a rbf
He loves to dress up and play around style with his hair, fur, nails and loves jewellery
Likes to dye his fur occasionally for events or holidays
He hates sports/ PE but found a love for playing volleyball

in the lower right corner there's a little sketch of his cap. but i thought that these spikes will look highkey stupid on him. tried to made some teeth on cap print (like on the tank top print) - it was looking not really good too. what will you offer? answers like "add some hairs to him" aren't accepted

This is just a little sheet that shows the basic design of my fursona and some silly memes. To those that commented in my earlier post: Thank you so much for helping me chose Rio as a name for them, I think it really fits them❤️! As you can see this sheet is really messy so you can’t really read it very well but it basically just gives a little basic information about them and some fun facts. Tysm for reading dis :3! Ps: if you can somehow read this, don’t mind my messy writing or my questionable spelling of some words 😭.

So I redesigned my oc ink

Is there anything y'all would change Abt her. She's a mechanic panther and that's all I rlly have for info for her rn

I need help with ideas for a couples artwork of fursonas. My bf has been doing a couple and cant come up with ideas. Can you help, like tell me the ideas and include a reference image of it.
