I’m finally making a change of Fursona
4 years ago
This has been a long time coming, probably over a year in the making, but I’ve had a long, hard look at how I meld with the kinks and fetishes I pursue. Between Muscle, Macro, Micro, and the occasional Fat, it’s never been an issue to bounce around all of them, there’s plenty of precedent of those crossovers. There’s always been a gnawing lust though, something that just couldn’t be sated with Raxinath’s bombast; The love of fur and more realistic scenarios.
I did have an array of side characters to fill the floof and I could very well have thrown fur on Raxinath and called it a day but It just didn’t feel right. It always felt like a yielding of emotions and only turning to them when I wasn’t feeling the prideful zeal that Raxinath usually carried. Despite my intentions to make him a dork like me, the prideful, indulgent masculinity always took precedent and as I’ve grappled with before, he just felt detached from me. It wasn’t until now that I realized it spoke to something about me. I think I prefer looking at the big men more than being a big man myself and it does relate a lot to how I’ve been handling the expression of my arousal and just not being interested in that kind of flirting.
It’s with this I’ve been working out a setup that’s really been my thinking the past few sona crises I’ve had. Raxinath will be an OC to me, reflective of how impersonal and just a dart board of all my sexual desires he is. (Don’t you worry though, I think you’ll see in my next art dump I’ve still got plenty of love for him 😘).
Now you may be thinking, “Well if you aren’t going to be a swole dragon, what are you going to be?”. Well, I’m also going back to a past crisis solution and promoting a maned wolf OC to primary sona for his sof floofiness, unique leggies and more “fursuit marketability” but with a major redesign to make him feel a bit more “homier” under the codename “Project D.I.N.O.”. Between the two of them, I’ve been thinking about the the fetishes being split with Raxinath continuing to be a total mass monster and new sona Dino will take the role of macro/micro subjects but I’m sure there’ll be crossover between the two.
So in the end, what does this mean about my social pages? Nothing really. This is just a reconciliation of things that have been getting in the way of my enjoyment with this community and hobby and and is something that I think would help ease the pressure of feeling like I’m spreading myself too thin between art subjects and ultimately just bingeing on muscle art. I really hope you all enjoy what I drum up in the future because I think it’ll be filled with more heart than ever with this rebalancing
P.S. wholesome SFW twitter and fursuits have more power on my nonexistent homosexuality than baras
Arf arf arf and Rawr Rewr Roar!

Fursona changing is no light matter! A fursona is a deeply personal thing. In my eyes I treat my fursona as an extension of my ideals, my personality, and my deepest desires, both personal and in fantasy. He's my ambassador to other people in the furry fandom, and I want him to be the best representation of myself that I can muster! Going through the process of taking all that, throwing it aside, and making a sequel that's supposed to be better than the previous iteration that you've spent so much time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears (and money for commissions, naturally) is ~not~ an easy task at all. I'm happy that you've found comfort in your new maned wolf dude, man! And what a great design that is for the waf you've got in Dino c:
This kind of move has been very daunting, hence why it took the past year of bitching and moaning to finally throw in the towel and concede that Rax wasn’t feeling reflective of myself. Even though I’m still going to get art of him, it takes a lot of pressure off of trying to maintain the grounded demeanor with absolutely being a size fiend
