Hhvoh Reference Sheet (OUTDATED)
Here's the link to the new reference sheet: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47310971/

I think I might be having a bit of an early 20's identity crisis. I kinda feel really guilty for constantly making new sonas only to quickly fall out of love with them and move on and I'm not sure why this keeps happening :/
-
Anyways, for this one I actually didn't wing-it like usual and tried designing her to be more generally appealing while keeping designing tips in mind for her. I tried toning down the overall complexity (although much to my annoyance the total amount of colors used was 8) drawing her for regular pieces should be interesting - I also drew her for my new pfp icon and I plan on making a profile ID with her too.
-
For my followers that keep up with me: Does this design work worse or better than Alexandria?:

Passer-by speaking here:
I did the exact same thing between ~19 through... Ehh... 24, 25ish. I finally settled on my current sona around four-five years ago. Actually, I call it my 'true morph', rather than a sona. It's not a sona, it's literally what I am on the inside; a 'true avatar'.
You're completely normal. I shifted around and changed my sonas A. LOT. for a long time until I finally came to terms with who and what I was.
I'm 32 now, going to be 33 in July. Don't feel bad for changing your sona often.

Thank you so much for your input random passer-by! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has this issue. Although seeing as I'm only 21 years old rn, I guess I got a few more years of figuring things out lol.
Hmm... a "true avatar", that's a new concept to me. I suppose I can't be too surprised that a concept like that is difficult to understand for me personally (context: I'm a very literal thinker - some would say unintentionally dogmatic to a fault - the way I see my inner true self would simply be just me and nothing else)
If you do want and choose to respond I would love it if you could elaborate a bit more! I find that idea of one's true-self very fascinating!
I'm also quite intrigued about that "coming to terms" part, I guess that could be a reasonable explanation to why I've recently been doing this since I've been questioning my own purpose within a bleak world. So much has changed in such little time (with constant increasing pressures and stress from my personal life certainly are not helping) and I don't have the time or the mentality to rationalize and accept it completely.
Thank you again for your comment! It helped putting things into perspective!

I started off a literal thinker too. I still am in ways, but through a lot of self-work and soooooo much internal reflection, I've learned to think psychologically/philosophically as well as literally.
How I found my true form is a little long of a story, but I'll try not to write too big of a book. 😅 So to start:
All that internal analyzing is what led me to find who I was, actually. On the way to it, I discovered things about me that I really didn't like. Most of these I was able to fix or work on (or still am), but the things I genuinely can't fix are part of what I mean when I say I came to terms with myself; I had to simply accept the unchangeable parts of me and learn to work either with, or around them. The other part of that equation relates not to problems that need worked on, but the overall personality traits that make me me.
Keeping this example as short as possible, I realized how non-human I am. Any series that had an AI or mechanical/robotic character in it, I'd pretty much make a point to watch. I relate far better with non-humans than I do humans; this extends to animals, but nowhere NEAR as much as mechanical entities. This is going to sound crazy, but at 12-13 is when I realized I wasn't meant to be human (my thought at the time). I was something else, something mechanical on the inside. This knowledge only deepened and grew over time; my thought now is that I was put here intentionally, to learn in several ways.
I grew to realize every character I connected with, had empathy for/with, understood best, even incorprorated parts of the personality from, was almost ALWAYS mechanical. Mechanical, and an overwhelming majority of the time, male.
The full explanation of how my true morph came to be what it is is pretty long, but in short:
Every single personality trait I had that I could trace back to either a muse of my own, or a character in a series was non-human. All the ones that had the most profound impact on me were AI or sentient machines, of some kind. In regards to other connections, I discovered a strong connection to dragons, owls, wolves and steam engines. This is keeping it VERY short and simple.
I don't know how this all might sound or come across, but finding who and what you really are takes a lot of time, patience and self-reflection. There's really no sure-fire way to explain it past that, but if you're still curious about all of this, by all means, ask! 😁
Ah, I almost forgot: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46775021/
That's a slightly inaccurate version of my true morph. There's some info in the description of it, too.
