I STILL don't have a furrysona I keep trying but nothing feels right. fmllllllll
I might just say fuck it and make it completely unlike myself, even thoguh I kinda have a rule that representations of myself need to be proper representations (meaning same body type and such)
but the anthro sona attempts made with that rule in mind never ever feel like me
but it's lying if I draw myself as if I'm not fat and short haha

I dont really feel comfortable with that though, why lie about your body type? What's wrong with it? Everyone's body type isn't something to be ashamed about to the point of lying.
I've met people before who lied about what they looked like IRL and I don't know how to take the information, honestly, it doesnt make sense to me. If they're willing to lie about something so petty what else can I not trust them on? -
Them hiding what they look like makes me feel like I should be ashamed of myself as well. It's unhealthy.
-
Aw. :c I don't think all of them do it to lie. Sometimes it's more of a fun fantasy. But no I get where you're coming from. It's silly to be ashamed of what you look like and I totally understand wanting to represent yourself accurately. :3

For this you must hike the treacherous furrysona mountain. Should you pass the trials you shall face, enter the temple. There the council of furry elders will give to you your furrysona.
But also I drew about a hundred thousand different versions of Paso before I settled on something that felt appropriate...and I try to "update" her every year because we're always constantly changing, right? So why not have a character representation that can reflect the same fluidity.

Ahh yeah.. I feel like I'm limiting myself because within my friends I'm kind of a trope tied along with lions(which I made for myself to be fair), but for most of my life before I got into the online community, I was a huge wolf buff(well all dogs but wolves specifically as well).. not like in the obsessive way but like I knew all about them and the different kinds and random trivia and like
now that i'm on here and I see all the tropes of people being like obsessed and wolfdogs and stuff I'm like 'damn I rally don't want that' so I'm like trapped woops
I feel like if I went for something like a deer or smaller/less muscular in general I'd be cheating myself too UHG
SO MANY ISSUES

Well, do you really need one? I mean, do you need one, that is exactly like you?
I have characters, that there's my main, and side characters, but none of them go exactly like me. Each on of them has a little trait from me.
Idk i know it's not the same, but still o:
And come on this is the internet, you do what you want! You make something that you feel is you! :3 -
You can think of it in terms of expressing your feelings, which can be abstract and take all sorts of forms. :> I have several characters that represent a spectrum of feelings and periods of my life, some that are like me physically, some that aren't.
I do understand the satisfaction of expressing one's body type, though. It's interesting.. I think that sort of honesty and self-pride in drawing characters how we really look wasn't always a thing, and folks more commonly drew idealized 'sonas with unrelated body types. Probably like.. "this is the body I'd prefer to be in." Part of the escapism from reality, maybe. I know it is for me. I would prefer to be an animal person, whether with my body type or otherwise. 8) ehehe-
To be honest, in my own personal case I CAN'T think of it like that for various reasons, but I understand the point you're making!! I guess it really comes down to I've never understood or cared about achieving the whole 'ideal' body type and seeing everyone force themselves into it without even realizing rustles my jimmies. I understand not accepting yourself and all but I can't see it as a good reason to outright lie to yourself about it? Like embrace it or work to be what you think is 'proper' because faking it will only lead towards more self deprecation.
obviously theres more to it but I'm not gonna liek have a huge debate/convo about it omg. in the end its different for everyone and I won't judge a person for doing w/e for w/e reason they choose-
Ah, ok. Feelings can be a wacky thing to work with.
I know what you mean about unknowingly forcing oneself into idealization.. like a subconscious thing. Kind of a sad portrait of society, in a way.
Totally understand. XD very deep and complicated topic. indeed, at the end of the day, art simply tends to be for some kind of enjoyment. c:

I've seen a lot of people with sonas that don't match their exact body type and that's okay! (I've even seen REALLY TINY people have really big, chubby sonas haha so you know, it isn't out of the ordinary
