So, a friend and I were talking last night, about me potentially changing main sonas, of course.
So, he asked a few questions to help clear things up and make the answer more... Obvious, I suppose.
The first question was about when we had first met. I was an otter at the time, and he asked me why that
was. The answer was simple: Because I was active, outside a lot, and loved to swim. Essentially, I liked to play,
and that is something that I associated with otters.
Then he asked me about Zhao, and what made me want to make him, and I honestly was not sure.
He's supposed to be 'me', but at the same time, it feels as though there is something... Not me about him.
I like otters, huskies, and dragons, which is part of the reason that he is such an odd mix, and some might
say that I have physical traits that resemble all three. Buuuut...Skipping ahead...
He also mentioned how I like bears,
And I DO love me some bears, Belly that can be soft, firm, or a mix of both. What's not to like. So... He
suggested that I switch to a bear. Which I think is a good idea, but I suppose I also have the habit of thinking
too deeply into some things, so.... Though bear sounds AWESOME, my brain immediately started going on
about how there are already so many bears around. What would make me different. Something that would have
people going "Oh! I know who that is!" when I have a commission done of him, rather than thinking that he is
some generic, run of the mill bear.
And then... I got to thinking... I like things that are out of the norm. Things that you wouldn't necessarily
expect to see together, but still work somehow, kinda like what I did with Zhao.
So... I was thinking some kind of hybrid. Nothing like a threeway mix, but just two, whether it's two bear kinds, or even a bear/dog, or something of that sort.
Then I stop to think... Making a character is hard. And that thought amuses me, because I have made MANY
characters over the years, and it has gotten to the point where I can look at a picture and think up a name,
personality, and occupation for the character featured there. But when it comes down to one that is going to
essentially represent me, my brain goes into panic mode, I suppose, and I want every last detail to be
'perfect'. Something that people will know is me, and isn't so far out of the box that it throws people off.
Something that I would be comfortable presenting to people, perhaps even my family, because...
Well, they know about furries, but their opinions aren't good, so...
Finding that mix is gonna be hard. Something that I like, is sexy, but not like begging to have porn drawn,
but is also something family friendly, and...
Yeah... I'm PROBABLY thinking too deep into it, so... I'm gonna shut up, brainstorm some more, and see
what comes of it.
You shall be updated, cause I have my laptop now, and there is nothing that can stop me!
Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!
