I need some advice! (my first ever fursona)

Hi! I think this is my second post in this sub—I'm not really sure, lol.

There was a time when I asked what animal my fursona could be. Some of you said a deer would be good, others a rabbit, and I was left wondering which of the two to choose.

However, a week ago I started looking for alternatives, and I came across an animal that I felt I identified with more: The slow loris.

This animal looks super cute, but it’s also venomous! I love that combination (reference to the Pokémon I posted below, which I love x2). Let’s just say the slow loris hit me out of the blue; I had no idea it even existed. Since it doesn’t have a tail, and I 100% wanted one, I decided to combine it with a lemur’s tail. And ta-dah!

This is the first time I’ve drawn a fursona. So I was hoping to get some design advice from the experts. I’m open to constructive criticism, too. <333 ( ⓛ ω ⓛ *)

Does anyone perhaps draw fursonas for people

I don't know my fursona, but I have an idea yet I can't draw for crap. I don't think I have much to give for it but I kind of want help figuring out what it would look like.

Figuring out my fursona (update post)

I'm new to the community and started figuring out my fursona a few weeks ago, also asked help on here back then. I've come back with some rough ideas now and I'd really appreciate some help regarding them :,3

First slide is three my main ideas, I really enjoy all of them. As you can see the color pallette is most likely blue and pale yellow / cream. Second slide is a bit more experimenting with the ferret one, as I was the most unsure about that one (the original idea for the ferret was I think u / Beautiful-Length-565)

So, a few questions:

  1. which one is the best in your opinion?
  2. how can i improve the designs? (keeping in mind that these are just very rough sketches)
  3. which one of them suits me the most? (quote from my last post:  "i'm just a basic blonde, blue eyed and pale girl. personality wise i'm really energetic and always doing something, i have tons of interests that i spend all my time on, and i love music."
  4. what should I take into consideration as i go on designing my fursona?
  5. anything else???

all help would be sooooo greatly appreciated!!! <3

Opinions on my OC! Drawing by me

​Hi everyone! First time posting here.

​I wanted to ask for your feedback on my Dutch Angel Dragon OC/Fursona, "Diana". I created her back in 2021 and I'm still deeply attached to her and her design. Telephone was a huge inspiration for me joining the DAD community, and I just couldn't resist making a character of my own.

​My question is: does Diana remind you too much of Telephone? I’m planning to get a fursuit in the future, and my biggest fear is having people view her as just a palette swapped version of Telephone. I tried my best to make her unique, but I'm worried her muzzle ring, which is very reminiscent of Telephone's, makes them look too similar.

If that's the case, I’m open to redesigning her!

​I’d love to hear your honest thoughts and opinions!

i don't know how to make him look more like a monkey

Hey! I decided to redesign my fursona so it reflects me better (and, well, I just liked the idea). I wanted to cross a podengo and a capuchin (dog and monkey), but I have a feeling it just looks like a regular dog with a white muzzle

I know the differences will be noticeable in the tail and paws (more on the monkey side), but I still think there are too many dog traits here. Of course, the white part of the muzzle will be hairless, like a capuchin's, but also a bit longer

Anyway, I need some advice on how to portray this much better :)

Coyote design help

I think I must've chosen one of the most bland animals for this guy, they don't really have any major design things other than a gradient on the back from what I can find

Preferably, any answers will include cool coyote species that look more interesting than what I'm familiar with, or any constructive criticism against might be holding my current design back

New furry in this community trying to create a fursona for himself.

Hello everyone, I am a 20-year-old male (he/him). Since my teenage years, I have admired the furry community from afar and wanted to join it someday. After I moved to college, I started to reinvent myself, doing things I hadn't dared to do in my younger years, so I remembered my interest in the furry culture and finally took a deeper look into it and wanting to have a fursona. However, I have run into a couple of problems that I would like to address and get help to overcom ot.

First is choosing a species for my fursona. I don't know, it is difficult to finalize a character's species. It really depends on how I am feeling that day. At one moment I will ponder if it will be a reindeer or a moose on another day, I will think of a tiger or a bear. So I am having trouble finalizing the first one. I also did some tests that determine my fursona species, but I don't like their final results.

Another thing is drawing it, and my god, I am bad at it. I just don't have the talent to do it. I have a sketchbook that I draw in, and looking through the pages, there is close to no improvement in that department. I really try to improve, but I don't have talent for it. There is always a way for commissions, but I don't have a reference to give or money. As I mentioned, I am in college and broke, so financially I cannot invest in it.

So this is where I will end. Yeah, I think there are some some members without fursonas, but I want to have a face that I can introduce to others and maybe something to try to draw. Your replies will be appreciated.
