Fursona Ref Poem
17 years ago
I want to try to try out doing a few "Character/Fursona Reference Poems," a novelty I've had in mind a little while.
Text description can do a lot that's hard to do with drawings, especially sound and smell. It can also readily show action, change, and idiosyncratic habits and speech that drawings have a tough time capturing. And they can directly summon up metaphor. Poetry, then, can cleanly frame that description and focus readers on it, make it memorable, and help it pierce our skeptical everyday outlook.
I don't have any really good examples yet, though "On Honey," "Vera," and "Tiger Milk" were in some ways on the right track.
So if you have or can come up with many of the above details for a fursona or other memorable character, and want to provide them, other references, and some notion of underlying mood and/or meaning, ask here and I can give it a shot. However much you want to put into it-- versification is easy, getting the nuances right according to you will be hard unless I've got plenty to work with.
Anyway, just in case people were interested, I'd work 2 at a time. Pref goes to anyone I myself am watching.

You always manage to conceive projects that are unique, interesting, and require a great deal of thought.
