I want to....change my FURSONA DESIGN...
10 years ago
I want to change my fursona design.
I haven't done major changes to her since 2008.
CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE:

I'm just so hesitant...I have so much art over 7 years worth and a FURSUIT HEAD I just got a little over a year ago...
I invested so much into what Alexis is right now.
It's going to be hard to go with something new after so long. I'm attached to her design currently, but I also feel it's not me...like all white is so boring and as a fursuit, it gets dirty fast.
I eventually want to upgrade my partial to a full suit and a kigurumi...so I need to decide before then if I really want to do this...sure..I know I can edit all the art work I have except the traditional pieces (I also have to ask each artist if they're ok with my edits). It's just a hard decision for me...idk what to do.
I came up with a few designs that I like though, it's not official and I'm still conflicted.
Feedback is welcome...!

I'm looking to redesign her where she's easy to draw, not complicated, and MOST IMPORTANT is easy to translate into a fursuit.

I'm honestly thinking of changing Lexi's design after the new year, to start fresh.
I'm trying to go for something that's easy for artists and fursuit builders for future reference!
any how have a look on piterest link on ombre zebra effect.

I'm pretty much a sparkledog/sparkle wolf, so I don't want too realistic. lol
ALSO they have that shade of purple as a fur. <3
I just did a pink version!!

And the tie in the pink like you did on the two examples...
So she keeps the same but same time updates?
But that's just me.
Honestly, its your fursona and you gotta love it. :3
I made changes to my own fursona...
She originally was like this (one on the right): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13746882/
And now it like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14014182/ and only things still changing are her piercings...
I keep her old art of the old look because...
Well, she is me.
She literally evolved as I did...
And all her changes are wonderful.
No reason to hide those, I look back at them fondly.
Ahhh your fursona is so pretty. ;o;
I love those colors together.
But I get what you mean, like I would love to edit the art I got to go with how I'd change her (whenever I decide), but it's nice to see how far I came from so many years ago.
Like I wouldn't change old stuff, just like maybe art from like 2-3 years ago and til now haha.
I took a while redesigning Lotus because I loved/hated her design...
Then I decided to fuse the ideas for the old with the new...
So I would have a part of both.
Thus the reason I suggested the white with fading.
White to black fading is a fur combo I have seen sold before, so its not a far stretch thinking about for a suit.
And its an easy enough effect for artists to replicate...
If you don't mind me coloring over you art...

Im honestly thinking of waiting til the new year to make a new reference with the changes.
But Im still on the fence. x.x
I actually did that with the grey one. xD
That was the original design I started with, some grey, mostly white, but I;m trying to go for something that is easy to draw and make as a fursuit. x.x
Anything ombre or too much complexity will make things harder in my opinion, so I did it mostly grey/purple and I JUST MADE A PINK ONE!

Someone on twitter said they thought pink was more me....and yeah it is actually lol
I think its adorable.
But yeah, I think that's the right idea.
Take your time with it.
Play around and if something is off, except that and rethink it. :3
After all, a fursona evolves with you, and you'll know when it's right. :3
THERE IS A PINK VERSION OF THE DESIGN NOW
