It's kinda funny how my fursona went through such drastic changes over the years: gender, height and species lol Forever a nerd though 🤓🦊🐇

Apologies! I looked for your preferred pronouns but didnt spot them specifically so I’m going to use they/them just so I dont misgender you 😬

How did you come up with your werewolf? Did you have a clear vision of them? Or did you go through a couple versions before perfecting them?

Those are actually my preferred pronouns! They/them but I also accept he/him. I'm non binary, trans masc. If I ever get misgendered I try not to take it personally because I don't actually label it anywhere. The only thing I have on my profiles is 'Enby'. So Naoma started out very different when I was a kid. But they have grown with me as I've gotten older.

^ This is the first character I used for myself a LOOOOONG time ago.

^ Second version after I was allowed to be online.

^ Really short lived version

^This version I used for a really long time and made some minor adjustments a bit later on.

^Minor changes, got rid of the gold and just made the limbs black, added a stripe and tail pattern.

^Another set of minor changes, but started drawing more anthro rather than feral. But because people were getting too much NSFW art WITHOUT my permission I decided to make a whole new design for them.

^ I spent DAYS trying to figure out a design for Naoma. I wanted more natural colors and pattern. So after like 2 weeks or so I came up with this design.

^I ended up making making their limbs black again and stopped using gradients.

^But with a friends input and my own want, I changed up the pattern, added more red and changed the limbs color. It's been like this ever since. (Ref base is by twistedhound) Naoma means everything to me. They are me in every single way. I draw them being an Idiot, I draw them being sad, angry, hungry, depressed. The scars they have, I also have. Eye color, eyebrow buzz. hair style(The fluff being tied back into a little pony tail/bun). So this is them now. I know this thread was long and I'm really sorry for that, but I hope it was fun to see the evolution of my fursona. Small little tid bit, Naoma is a Eurasian Dire Werewolf and stands at 14ft tall on their toes. All the art in the thread is also by me over the years, except the ref sheet by Twistedhound

All my fursonas from middle school to now; interrpriting my middle school art was a trip

Especially because a lot of these guys never got full body designs or were actually colored before they got scrapped so the colors are just what I remember wanting to use

All my main fursonas up until now!

Woah its been a while since i posted art

Yeah so this is my sona evolution! Get ready for a story.

I started off when i was 10 and i made my first fursona Sparky! At the time i didnt know what a furry was because i used to watch people like splashkittyartist and the word furry was never mentioned. I thought splash’s characters were fun and adorable so i decided to make my own! When i was 13 i figured it was time to retire sparky since her design was just a little complicated and i was going to join deviantart soon (and i didnt want anyone to get stressed over sparkys design if they wanted to draw my sona lol) and so Kayne was born! I kept the red tie and the red and blue eyes from sparky because i just really liked it i guess. Now when i was about to enter high school i got made fun of a lot for having a fursona and i just… kind of quit. Im actually unsure of when i made Archie. He went through a lot of design changes and species changes until i settled on one i liked. But i think it was sometime in my late sophomore year when i figured him out. And ever since then hes been with me! Wow thats a lot of info congratulations if you read all that lol.

Evolution of my main fursona, UK!

Info on all the variations below the cut~

1 - The lesser-known very first rendition of UK. Waaaay way back when I was merely a 15/16 year old smol one, just discovering the wide world of online communities. I spent a LONG time simply lurking Balto and Lion King fansites as a guest and google image searching fan art because I was too scared to join anywhere, and during that time I Discovered Furry. I had literally no idea what a fursona really was, only that I wanted to be a wolf and I'd seen fan art of the white wolf from Balto and decided that was what I wanted to be. I don't think this design ever really made it into any online galleries, it didn't last very long. Quite literally a completely plain white wolf with blue eyes, and randomly some blue crystal thing around her neck ... ? I've no idea what that was meant to be, I'm sure I had the idea it was some Special Magical Power Crystal or something. 2 - THIS is the UK that anyone who's followed me for years will recognize. Back then I couldn't draw anything if it wasn't a direct rip-off of Disney or Balto style, so she had these lines around her eyes that looked like eye patches but there was no difference in the colour. Just the shapes, because I was incapable of drawing eyes without them. She also got the red bandana, because I was incapable of drawing a neck without one, and sporadically black ear tips - she was meant to always have black ear tips but I often forgot - and her eyes got a yellow sclera because I was directly ripping off Disney style eyes.  c': Eventually she lost the bandana, but everything else stayed the same. 3 - When I had finally had enough of the bandana and was trying to break out of directly ripping off Disney style I re-designed UK to go along with it. She got purple claws, paw pads and inner mouth for a long time but sometimes it inexplicably went back to natural colour. I was really going through some weird times with mental health back then and UK kind of surfed it all along with me. I kept fighting with myself over wanting a "Really Goth Hardcore Dark" fursona and my attachment to UK as she was, and the white wolf handle. This is where Oìche was eventually created as a secondary fursona (not pictured in this) in the original design of black and purple straight from a WolfHome avatar.  xD This design lasted a looooong time, and was literally just a plain white wolf with no markings at all and the bright blue eyes. 4 - This is where I wanted a more natural design, but still a white wolf, and wanted SOMETHING to make UK stand out. Naturally, in any art of her when she was plain she got mistaken for Kiba from Wolf's Rain a lot or any other plain white wolf character and I'd gotten pretty sick of it. I didn't really know what I wanted to do with her at this point, just a vague idea of the colours I wanted to use from natural wolf pelt colours and her eyes changed from the bright blue to a more natural icy-sky blue. All remnants of the purple claws and mouth were gone by this point, I was generally feeling a lot more like myself and that translated onto UK. 5 - The UK I'm at today! She gained some more markings in those natural brown shades, kept the icy blue eyes and more recently her nose changed from plain black to a dark brown. The ear tips made a triumphant return too, in the form of a light beige instead of black this time.  xD I'm pretty happy with UK as she is now, she's still my main fursona and has been with me through an awful lot and will always be my main 'sona. She's gained a few alter egos along the way in the form of the previously mentioned Oìche who's evolved herself from the original into a purple African Wild Dog with a love of parties, glowsticks and singing. King who's the black, white, grey, orange and red mutt who's into gaming. BanCat, an old alter ego who didn't really have a proper form, who's gone from a plain Asiatic Golden Cat to a Golden Cat/Lynx/Hummingbird hybrid thing thanks to an adopted design from WhiteSpiritWolf with a love of nature and the newest addition of StartUp the black & white Hyena who has usually-bright-green-but-also-colour-changing markings and hair with a love of dancing. Quite an odd mixture, but then I'm kind of an odd mixture of things all rolled into one anyway, and UK will always be sitting at the forefront of them all. It was fun going back over the old designs, thinking about where I was when I made them and what influenced the designs and art.
