Personally I understand your whole trying to make a cooler fursona thing, man I'm guilty of that (going back to plain ol pine marten now). I think maybe a mix. You're not as plain as you think, girl ;P. I think adding freckles, some personal details, to your more toned down fursona would be cool, like a medium between the two.

this!!

*nods* She will have the extra floofy head fur like the ferret badger/civet. I also may give her a white mark on her chest (which can occur naturally in almost all mammal species -you see it in black bears a lot: http://northislandexplorer.com/mamm.....6.jpg)...maybe like the one in this image: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/526342/ This is actually where she started to go from a Eurasian badger to a ferret badger, I was just beginning to experiment :3 She'll still have green eyes too.

which means I need another ref sheet...so much to do X3 LOL

I was doing this, trying to add on little markings to make my plain gray canine stand out more. Eventually I just settled into drawing her more like how I actually look (freckles, weight, hair, etc) and decided that was much more fitting than bizarre fur color/pattern or any other eye catching trait :B

Well dear.

Theres nothing in the fandom rules that says you can't do both.

I draw myself as either a eurasian/north american badger cross, or as a straight north american badger depending on mood.

Roland, the mixed breed badger is my normal mood.
Sebastian, the north american badger is my wilder, somewhat darker side.


I am not the only artist to use more than one fursona image depending on mood either.
Its not that common, but far from unknown.


I like all badgers, so although I know this doesn't help much- its the best answer I can give.

Personally, if I ever get around to making a fursuit, it isn't going to be Blood. It's going to be some other random character, just for funsies.

Stay the course, I say! You can always make another someday, right?

Okay wait. I'm retarded. I got confused and thought you were talking about your suit mask 9_9

Don't let Bloodhounds internet before breakfast. No good can come of it.

LOL that's ok...I know...without food, I'm useless haha :p

I know I'm very outside your ring of socialitude, but I'll say this.

I have a very common/simple fursona. You can achieve great things with one by keeping them simple and letting your personality show through.

I think with your older version more of your own personality showed through even in the simple image. With your newer one a person gets too wrapped up in the details to see any personality. It's an aesthetically pleasing character but doesn't feel representative.

I would personally rename the new you, revamp the old you and use the old one. maybe add afew unusual markings that you'd grown fond of in the new you, but...I would keep it simple to be honest with my opinion. How ever you feel more justified in a representation.

that's exactly how i feel...seriously. She has become something totally separate from me, hence the throw-back. Hehe...I'm not terribly social, though I wish I was. I don't really have any RL friends anymore...and only a tiny snippet online *shrugs*

i like the old one :)

I prefer the badger over the civet. Civets just have too many spots in my opinion <^.^'>

I think the newer form looks more unique - but I like Eurasian badgers a lot. And I think - being much more purely archtypical - they do archetype better.
