Show yourself....

We all have a self image, right? How we perceive ourselves? Well, this carries over to our fursona as well, or at least it does to me and mine. And I'll bet it does for you too. Sooooo........
Is there ONE picture of your fursona that you feel is absolutely perfect? Reveals exactly what you look like in your minds eye? Has your attitude down pat?
Show me that picture and tell me what it is about it that makes it the perfect you. Please! (the magic word....so I'm told.... >:3) Bare your soul to me. (or...in the case of you, my very good friend,
agent_t , bear your soul to me... =p )

One pic would be hard to capture "me", though. Been kinda thinking about getting something a little more feral/pet-oriented, but even that's just another part of me, not the whole. ^_^;;
this picture here. it shows the confidence i hide, and the fact of a nice nature in the face
Though I wish I could figure out how to get hold of a copy of the model so I could tweak and fine-tune it a bit more in a better modelling program than SL's built-in one.
Since I have no talent for drawing, my options are limited.
If I could get hold of the base model (and a new PC!) I could indulge in some offline tweakery in a 3D modelling program like Blender or something. (I'm not so good at that either, but I could probably get somewhere eventually with practice).
Ideally I'd like to create my own similar design from scratch, but that's way out of my league unfortunately.
I've drawn a sexy hyena girl also, that's Mary. Big buf hyena!
Anyway Mary the Hyena is all fluffy and soft, and she takes care of herself. She's just very natural!
The problem with pubic hair (fur on characters) and armpit hair is enhanced by the mass-media's, especially advertising: "Buy razor XXXXX and be as smooth as a newborn! Buy YYYYY deodorant not to smell like a beast!" It works very well when repeated everyday. It makes money, much money, and all that stuff ain't always good for the skin. Natural soap is cheaper.

Incidentally, both of my parents are this, while I am a represented by a giant gear.
Didn't UAW used to be just auto workers?
Tesla did a lot of cool things.
But my ideal picture would be to have Zech leaning up against a wall, an Australian styled hat with sunglasses, wearing his trademark trenchcoat, dark red muscle shirt, and dark blue jeans, observing people over his sunglasses.
Calm, analytical, and just badass in general.
I hate not having money...though I am about to get Borderlands 2. Been waiting forever to get my hands on that game.
Still, if I were going to pick one picture of her that really shows who I am, I suppose it would have to be
Step Into My World.
I live in the real world and I think I'm pretty good at keeping fantasy and reality separate and keeping my priorities intact, but I'll be the first to admit I'm just the sort of loser who uses fantasy as an escape. Megan herself is a perfect example of this, really. She's everything I want to be and will never reach, but she lets me at least touch it once in a while. Which, if that sounds self-pitying, it's not meant to. I'm grateful to have Megan and to have this community and all these wonderful artists who help me express myself through her and who accept her, and me, for who we are.
The Only a Dream Away picture would probably work, too. It's one of the most down-to-earth pictures I have of Megan, and I do spend an awful lot of time with my nose buried in a book, too.
Now how about you? I'd love to see which picture you'd pick for this.
Not so oddly, my choice for the perfect picture of Liane is chosen for many of the same reasons you seem to have. Liane is so very self confident and comfortable with who she is. She is attractive, young enough and healthy. A teeny bit dom, which I'd kill to be able to pull off IRL, but can't because I'm a bit too shy. And she loves to be comfortable as often as possible. (translate as nakey or nearly so)
So obviously my favorite picture, the one I identify with best is Day at the Beach, by
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3598483/ It embodies everything I would like to be in my fantasy life.
I'm glad I didn't come off as self-pitying. I always try my best to keep Megan, and anything to do with her, cheerful and upbeat and to focus on the positive. Rabbits should bring people happiness, after all!
As for the picture you chose, that's pretty much the one I expected and it's really the first one that comes to mind when I think of Liane. Not so much because she's naked, but because of how comfortable she always is with herself and the way she practically drips with self-confidence. To be honest, I think she's a perfect fit for you, too. So maybe you wouldn't act exactly like she does, or dress (or undress) the way she does, but you and Liane are perfectly matched in terms of your kindness and generosity, not to mention sheer awesomeness.
I know that pic is no surprise. I can't remember how many people I've told that it's my fave of all time of Liane. And for those reasons exactly. And no, I don't act like she does. Exactly..... And I'll take the fifth on the dress/undress issue. As to the rest of it, I think those attributes you apply to me and Liane are just as much a part of you. Maybe that's one of the reasons we became friends. We think a lot alike.
I guess this one fits me best, as far as the why, I suppose I could say that it's the gentleness in her eyes, as well as just how the overall impression represents how I like to be seen by others. I'm not sure what else to say, other than that I like it. Clemi does the most perfect eyes.

It nicely shows that despite my bulk I still am a very loving and gentle fellow - provided i get the chance to.
I remember that picture. And it does show your sweet side rather well. I'm a little surprised you didn't pick one of yourself as the warrior bear though. That's how I think of you. A great ravening warrior, bearing a war hammer when aroused to fury. Yet a most proper and protective gentlebear towards the ladies.
It's gonna take two pics to get the whole story though. This has been my attitude for the last few months. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8931277/ I started dancing a few months back and haven't stopped dancing and smiling since. For the first time in my life I have enough confidence in me that I don't care if people see me doing something silly. I'm not gonna let them get in the way of my happy anymore. This pic was before I came out as transgender and was just doing the femboi thing.
That's a great attitude too! I wish mine was that upbeat. I agree with you totally about not worrying what other people think of you. As long as I'm happy in myself, I won't let someone else's disapproval mean a thing to me.
