I made..... another fursona....
Well okay, I guess she kind of has a purpose? All my other "sonas" are more based on facets of my personality and ended up morphing into their own characters. But she's just me, anthropomorphized into a derpy yellow elephant. (rationalizing but whatever haha I like her).
I love elephants so much though, seriously. I collect them and have since I was a child, pretty much. I have a lot of fond memories of them because my grandma, (we called her Mee-Mee) had a lot of fancy ones she got as gifts from one of my aunts who used to be a missonary and travelled all over the world. I used to love to look and play with them... there's one that's supposed to be carved out of ebony (prolly not true though), a beautiful red one that has kind of Indian henna style carvings all over it, and a clear glass one.
When my grandmother passed away a few years ago, she'd made sure those elephants went to me because she knew I loved them so much. I was pretty close with my grandmother considering how often me and my brother used to be at her house, so when I think about it I guess they're some of my most treasured possessions.
dang wasn't expecting to get all sentimental about elephants, how I feel a little weird knowing I made a dirty version of this refsheet.... ` ะด`

i have a kind of special love for elephants because my grandmother used to collect anything elephant related. When she passed, my mother kind of took up the rabid collection of elephants, and I'm afraid maybe its already happening to me as well.
but holy woah this is adorable can i just hug forever yes?
(i also need to get a character design from you some day i can't even)

Q UQ AHHH AHH same here! In that giant wall of text up there i kinda babbled about how elephants are so sentimental for me because *my* grandma collected them too, and I inherited her collection when she passed away! but yes yes please do, hug away~ hohoh.
And oh goodness, well whenever you got an idea feel free to hit me up! :D I love designing characters and doing refsheets, and lord knows I need the money anyway haha.

I like your furry designs based on statues/figurines/objects (I'm referring to this, the goldfish bowl girl, and piggy bank girl you did when I say that) and I always find candy themed things interesting asflksadjfsadf
anyway this fursona is adorable and I know how it feels to make characters with the intent of them being fursonas and they just sort of split off into their own characters... I think this has happened to me with two characters so far.
and then I remember this old weird surreal poem- I think it was called "The Elephant Celebes" or something X__x

;u; Ahhh thank you very much! Well I love making character based off of objects and I have a TON of ideas still, so there is definitely more to come. Anthropomorphism in general is just an interesting concept, not just animals being given human traits, but anything. I love stuff like object heads and monster girls, so taking all of that inspiration and shoving it into a blender is much more satisfying then simply trying to make a lot of different sparkly colored animals! And yeah, IDK why but candy/food themed creatures are always really awesome too! Delicious AND adorable. Q 3Q
Yeah it really seems like I can't help but give my characters backstories, y'know? They start out as 'me'. and then I start imagining them in their own worlds and they just kinda drift away from their original purpose. I still love them, but it gets harder to use them as a personal avatar, yanno?
Also the name of that poem sounds familiar... ah, yes here we go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elephant_Celebes
:D Very neat, thanks for telling me about it.

j/k, this is pretty amazing and you should draw more of her and I can't wait to see more candy-flavored critters and/or figurine critters
also for some reason I'm thinking of those weird "cutants" toys http://bogleech.blogspot.sg/2010/12/cutants.html

Thank you! U uU Yellow and orange are two of my favorite colors, and somehow NONE of my characters have it in their color schemes...
I also really love elephants and other types of unusual species, especially the big ones like rhinos and hippos! They could all definitely use more love in the furry community! U uU
