I need some advice.

13 years ago General

This might sound really lame and cheesy, youve been warned

Lately ive been so into my ponysona, Resound, that i feel i have abandoned sagome as a whole. I no longer see myself within her, dont get me wrong, i love her with every fiber of my artistic being, just as much as i love all my characters, but never have i though that i would replace my fursona! I feel horrible but...drawing sagome actually frustrates me, drawing anything not pony related frustrates me. i like Resound, shes everything i wish i could be and more, shes just....i love her more than i do sagome, do you think its a phase? maybe is it just cause im so into ponies right now that ive set sagome aside? i dont know guys... Resound really makes me happy, i can relate and admire her...i just...idk...i cant see sagome ever being my fursona ever again, i get mad when i look at the plushies i got of her and i think "why did you waste all your money on this stupid character"...what a cruel thing of me to think.... Now i wish that i had never bought any of the plushies i have of her now, if only i had felt like this a year ago when i bought them all....i look at my art and the only pictures i like of sagome are the ones i used for vent arts of her....i didnt like any of the ones with phere or any where she was happy...i dont know...but i think....i think now...sagome might just be an oc...and no longer a fursona....i dont really know any more :c

ive been drawing ponies for like the past two months, idk, and i really really like Resound, she makes me so happy ;a; ive been hating drawing anything but ponies for a while now because dogs anatomy is just really annoying and ponies are very simplified and...idk,i hope its just a phase but with season three starting in early december i really doubt it.

It could just be that you're just really into ponies right now. xD But it does sound like you just don't want her as your fursona anymore. Which is fine, lots of people change, and thus their fursonas change. :3

So yeah, I'd say so long as you feel that way, change to your pony and just keep Sagome as an OC. I might dislike Taren one day and change, too. xD

thanks barky <:3 yeah im strongly against drawing anything but ponies right now, my friend wants me to make him stuff for AC but i keep telling him no cause i dont enjoy drawing dogs and any dogs i draw lately look awful.

Yeah Resound shall be my ponysona for now until things blow over VwV i just cant look at sagome the same way any more.

Yea that's pretty normal, people are always changing and there isn't much to be done but go with the flow!

well i've had sagome since i was like in 6th grade so i dont really know how to react to it,also ive never had any other character reperesnet me besides sagome so i guess thats why i feel suddenly confused.

Sometimes it just takes a while to find something that works really well with you. It's like finding your true love! Sometimes things just click and there isn't much you can do about it. :)
Even if it is a phase, just do what makes you happy. I know it can be hard to detach yourself from something you've known for so long but if you don't feel connected with her just do what feels right! Like I said people grow and change and that is perfectly normal.

That's where I've been for about a year now. Actually. As you can see, I don't relate myself to Kabaje anymore, but she's still a very dear character of mine I want to use for stories and drawing ideas. But, not to relate to myself. Which is why I changed my fursona into a lion since the animal seems to capture my appearance more and when I draw her I feel happier, like you feel happy when you draw Resound. Making Sagome into a character is an alright thing to do, I honestly think Resound captures yourself a lot, when I saw her for the first time I really saw you, she made me think of YOU entirely. It's not like, even if it may be a phase, you can't go back to Sagome ever again. Make her a secondary sona? A lot of people have those and I don't see a problem in that. Don't feel bad that you're starting to become attached to a different character, it's not a bad thing at all.

wow that made me blush XD i did want resound to be alittle more like me, in her brashness yet kindness. i also wanted her hair to be kinda like mine which is why her mane is so long and has long bangs :p but...i do feel like i put alot more into her and alot more emotions than i could have ever done with sagome. Maybe ill do that, but for now i think sagome is gong to be locked in a lil box in my heart till im ready for her to come be me again. But Resound....she just makes me so happy. At first when you moved away from kabaje i couldnt understand why you wanted to change, why you wanted to change something i felt enveloped you, but now i totally understand *hugs tight* i agree, thank you sis

It was actually hard for me to move away from Kabaje to begin with. I got so down about it, I almost cried haha. I'm weird I know. But, I did it because... really...when I looked at myself, I didn't see a pink fox. Lions hold such pride, and I'm full of that actually...I also have like, poofy hair like a mane too. I sound so furry right now but, YEAH I'M A LION NOW OKAY. :V BOOPITYBOPITY.

Change happens with everyone. You sound really attached to Resound, I almost feel your happiness through your words sis. Which makes me happy. I've never seen you so jubilant over a character before honestly. Just stick with that, being happy with something you created is the one of the best feelings ever. Something most important of all is you feel good about drawing and that's also a good thing. <3

RION KABBIE IS RION!

yeah VwV i guess she makes me super happy because i created her with a friend i hold very dear to my heart and im happy that shes a sister to my friends ponysona. And yes she makes me so happy ;w; and shes soooo cute *squishes out her eye balls* along with puppy,i should draw puppy more.

i think it might be a phase :x
for me, personally, i go through small ones constantly.
Right now it's really weird for me to draw my fursona digitally.
I think you should just go with it<3
And on that note, be careful with what you buy/commission lol
never get something expensive you may regret! Think of it like a tattoo<3

well i got all my plushies like when i got my first job XD of course at the time sagome was my love and joy so i wanted anything and everything of her, though i think im just disliking her at this time because im having money issues *reffering to plushies* and im wishing i hadnt wasted it lol...but i dont regret my purchases causei made many friends due to the time frame of my plushie obsession, just wish i had the money at this time.

i know how you feel with that lol
Theres a lot of things i commissioned when i had money, like, A LOT and now theres a lot of it i want to just... give back. it would really help my money situation, since commissions is the only job i can legally get :x

If Sagome doesn't seem right as your fursona then there is no real reason for her to stay as such. It is natural that we change from time to time. If the pony thing doesturn out to be a phase you can always go back. I know of plenty of people who have changed their fursonas occasionally. My fursona, Ridley, may be a fox now but years ago he was a dragon.

Sis, it's up to you whether or not you want sagome as your fursona. If it doesn't feel right, then no, she isn't really your fursona at the moment. You just have to go with it. :)
