It’s back, and I missed it the last time, so thought I’d give it a shot – with THREE fursonas instead of one!

My earliest was the badger Bailiff, pictured on the top left. I must have created him around 1994-95 based on my childhood favourite Mr. Badger of The Wind in the Willows. He was my fursona for a good ten years before I felt that playing him, strangely enough, was interfering with my personal development.

You know how playing a character makes you adopt some of his/her attributes, given time? Well, Bailiff was 100% me... and playing him meant reinforcing who I already was, effectively delaying my ability to grow and develop in the positive ways I wanted.

With that in mind, I created Bailiff lion (top right) in 2005, personifying every positive attribute I wished to have. And you know, I think it worked somewhat. :3 Rar!

But things are never simple. Shooting for positive attributes is one thing – relinquishing negative ones is another. And a good many negative attributes are still dogging me, from simple bad karma to a natural inclination for anger and unhappiness instead of their opposites, given the chance.

Sometime in 2010 I created the demon protagonist of my current writing project (bottom left), and he’s become the fursona for all-the-negative-traits-I-possess-in-spite-of-myself, which I’m trying to accommodate and maybe, some day, expunge.

And then there’s me. Not always this grumpy, I swear, but mimicking the demon opposite for this picture. :3

Badger and lion were drawn by me, demon by the amazing  ArcticLion!
