I love the idea of a "sona" like this. I still have a connection to munchkin but he isn't really me he is just like a mask to me. and the whole not really needing to have a fursona I get it.
also I'd probably draw self here at some point

I can really respect people who can connect to their ancient sonas forever, but for me I feel I'm ever changing, so to have something as fluid as this is far easier for me. I'm not really feeling the whole fursona thing anymore, but it's a LOT easier for me to draw myself as an animal than it is to actually draw ME xD And it's a lot easier for my friends or if I get a commission :)

Oh gosh that's so sweet of you but please don't feel obliged!

same here I view myself as a shapeshifter very fluid myself and had people tell me it make sense they say I'm very shamanistic (meaning I let animal spirits take over. it leads to trouble sometimes. but I don't know if you believe in this stuff) and that could explain me. you I do not know but you know your self best. animals are much easier since they can change as you see fit and no one gets confused.

and no pressure I love self's idea

I can relate with that, I used to completely connect with that, not a problem talking about that with me ^^ And yeah that's completely cool!
And in a way it'd be interested to see what people would portray ME as, haha :D

<3

I bet they portray you as the most awesomeness critter ever!

Hahaha, if they know me for real, it wouldn't be xD

oh, this sounds interesting, and teh way that you can make them just sounds like... mystical as they can kind of be like anything. sounds like a really good idea from you.especially as a way to be identified from other people.

and, hey with outputt just beiug a character it sounds like she can be more unique and something super different now. but i don't really think she was much you as she was herself, but your face online.

this could all just be rambling from me though, who knows?

I agree to everything you've said, and to be honest I never really thought about me bringing Outputt down by keeping her restrained, but I totally agree now I think about it. <3

I didn't mean it as you stopping het from being better, but just like, if you thought she could be better if she changed a little or something then she'd be more.... Yeah. Lost my mind and everything I an think of brings down what I mean.

Not at all, I totally get it :D

Hehe.
"Self" is actually a term for a solid coloured rat... so that's the angle I thought you were going with this.
I love the spirit/smokelike/shadow quality to your chara...

"Fursona" means so many different things to people.. The term probably varies as much as what it means to be "furry" really.

I love drawing rats. Maybe I'll make a smokey one :3

Haha yeah that's also true! It's a name that'd stuck in my head since I 1st drew them as a deer I think it was.

Thanks :D

my sona is kind of like this too... he can take any physical form and his eyes change depending on the mood. I described him as being an energy being rather than an actual living creature so he doesn't really have an age or a gender or anything like that either


Easily said, I really like Self <3 The concept is really nice.

Glad it seems to be a thing rather than me being weird and indecisive haha.

Thank you by the way :)

it makes sense to me.
it's really hard sometimes to express yourself in a single, set character.
people are complicated.

you're welcome (:

My 'fursona' is very much a fluctuating thing as well. Design changes slightly every time I draw them, but they usually take a rat-like shape. Good reflection of the fact I'm fluid in my gender and mood really. Adore this concept of yours as well. Beautifully painted here.

Ah that's so cool to hear! And rats are really the best anyway :V
Really glad you like them, means a lot :)

I love this concept! I think sometimes it's hard to stick to one concept to represent yourself, it's why I tend to have a lot of personas that are either stock piled or created and used for a very small amount of time. They tend to have similar things to link them back to me (usually the hairstyle and/or the colour pink) but like... we're all so complex as people, it's restricting to just stay with one thing forever !
