Imagine making a fursona with your fictional other.

i just looked through some of your fursona references and they are all so beautiful , like the character design but also the thought you put into them it lowkey made me tear up 😭 i especially love Sorbet but again all of them are amazing :3

on another note and feel free to ignore this part , i've been struggling to create a fursona i connect with for a long time now and was wondering if you have any tips ?

Tysm phishyy~!!

The easy parts of fursona-making are species and colors. But beyond that? What do you want them to represent? What traits of your own do you want to express with them? For me, the best way to develop a fursona has been to connect with pieces of myself. Looking at the stuff below surface-level, turning over some dark logs and seeing what bugs crawl out. In more direct terms, trauma processing. Learning what pieces of myself have been neglected, which parts have never had a voice.

I wanted the design of my hyena/deer sona, Axis, to embody my experience with emotional frailty. To me, the way he looks oozes malaise and dissociation. Those feeling are complicated things to express in words, but when I look at Axis, those emotions find a home.

Oliver, my axis deer sona, holds all of my joy. I spent over a decade completely closeted, using the internet while I was finding my trans identity. I was forced to clamp down on the excitement, joy, and wonder I was experiencing- just to stay safe. I’m still so surprised my family never found out- it was like trying to keep the lid on an over boiling kettle XD ! The outfits they’re pictured in are all things I desperately wanted to wear. The pins and jewelry are things I actually owned, but could never leave the house wearing. Oliver is my happiest, most emotionally open self.

Find the pieces of yourself that haven’t had a voice, the things you keep secret in your day-to-day life, and give them a home.

I love that furries treat their fursonas as people. For example there was a tiktok of how to wash a fursuit and they just yeeted greg into the tub. Honestly I’d talk to mine its just that I never have a good time to work on a ref sheet. Also my drawing sucks.
