a few years old done during the year of No Internet. my female fursona! i revamped her design a little bit when i worked on this. her design has slowly evolved over the years but it actually hasn't changed too much from her older design(s)! besides her very first one. when i made her i was new to drawing and oekaki and omfg i had "i am a special and unique snowflake sparkledog" syndrome so bad i made such bad decisions designing her the very first time. but i think we all did. we're allowed that phase, but we have to grow out of it or die.

no, the oldest picture there ISNT her first design. even though she was such a fucking bad sparkledog at first, she really helped me grow and develop as an artist AND a person. because before her i had no sense of identity or self-- the more she grew and changed the more i did. i had no favorite color before i designed her, and it took a while before blue settled firmly as my color.

i'll go ahead and admit why her first design should've had me smothered in my sleep-- she was a hybrid of wolf, german shepherd and snow leopard. was blue. had wings. had spots. she was a walking fucking sin and i'm so ashamed of myself. /cries/ but hey we all had to start somewhere. i should at least get some points for throwing a fucking snow leopard in there to be creative and not have the same wolf/wolfdog-type fursona everyone else and their mom's cousin had.

it actually took a whole hell of a lot for me to change her design in this picture at all, but i'm glad i did. at the same time i want to keep the design she had before and turn it into like. her fucking sister or something to keep it. i had that same design for so many years without it changing aside from accessorizing. i used to draw her more than anything and this was the last time i remember drawing her, years ago. u_u i've even tried to change her species from wolf to red panda, but i couldn't cement the change cause i'm too emotionally attached and sentimental about my sparkledawg sona.

idk what i'm gonna do with my male fursona's design yet. his anatomy and physical design is already different, a mix of wolf and red panda, but mostly wolf. he's still gonna be blue.. or maybe teal. or brown and teal! idk, we'll have to see when i sit down to design him. but i couldn't get rid of my girly sona, so here she is in all her "recent" glory-- reflecting more of myself than previous versions, for the most part.

another novel omfg. i was gonna say more but i digressed.

oh i remembered something i wanted to say-- one of my favorite versions of her was my punksona. basically her but with punk-themed accessories-- inspired by an old friend when she randomly drew my sona as a punk. i just kinda blatantly kept it and drew her a ton. need to draw her again! i loved that design and drawing those fun accessories, aha. idec what anyone thinks.

fuck-- another funfact i wanted to mention! several of her anatomical features were inspired by and taken from friend's drawings of her. if they drew something on her in a specific way-- that was basically their style, really-- i kept it if i liked it. a fantastic example is her curved-end tail, which drew on her all the time cause that was her style to draw tail tips in. her ears are the way they are from that but i dont remember where i got it from honestly-- prolly anyone who drew big ears, plus my own little stylish spin making them triangular and pointy. she has lower knees than my other characters because i used to draw lower knees on all my canines, it was just a style thing that i liked for her so i kept it in her anatomy. so basically everything about her anatomy is inspired by friend's fanart and the evolution of my own style being a bit exaggerated on her.

ok now i'm done. hey i figure why not get more in-depth and personal on here? but when i go, i go LOL cause i've never been a very open person online, so little funfacts and shit haven't ever been shared. but i want to be more friendly and open and sociable here on weasyl, so i'm opening up and sharing a LOT more than i would anywhere else-- ever. cause i love it here, and i feel like i need to share more of myself in honor of those followers i have that WOULD read my novels and DO give a shit/are curious about who i am. so this nonsensical rambling is for you out there~ <3
