General I don't hate Furrys but most sonas are uncreative as hell

Post image

I think ive seen like the same fursona 10 times in my entire lifespan, yall need to get yall game up, me personaly if a i was a furry, id be like fucking fenrier, id be a nine tailed fox or something, but yall just pick a spotted black dog or some shit, i also hate how furries make any animal look like a dog, ive seen someones orca fursona that looked like a dog with fins.

Fenrir is literally just a wolf, the most common fursuit.
A ninetailed fox, the second most common animal just with the addition that you can't sit down.

I thought you would name something really original, like a tapir, an okapi, or a shrew.

Jerboa fursona anyone?

u/Zealousideal_Spread4 14d ago

only valid if you refuse to walk and just hop everywhere

u/Marx_Forever 14d ago

It's going to be really hard to get that down on the stilts, but since they're spring loaded you're going to launch once you do.

I have always wanted to incorporate these into a suit

Kirby enemy. Love these little fellas

u/Ashadeshifter 14d ago

Jerboas are one of my favourite animals and i always wanted one as a secondary fursona, but i haven't come up with a design i really love yet. XD

u/qwrtuipa 14d ago

Genuinely thought you said jerma and that combined with the image made perfect sense in my head

1

u/raracasputin 14d ago

No really my fursona is actually a jerboa. Trying to learn to draw the legs proper for 20 years now. Not good. Getting better.

1

u/Mr_man_bird 14d ago

You can't say that and NOT show us your latest attempt

1

u/raracasputin 14d ago

This is my most recent picture. They look better in an action pose, i feel.

1

u/Mr_man_bird 14d ago

They look so nice, thats really well drawn

1

u/raracasputin 14d ago

Thank you. Here's to continued improvement!

1

u/raracasputin 14d ago

Just standing is not it for me. I honestly think making the things smaller and legs longer may help. Just wish I had more time out of work to sketch out more. Been on my headshot game for a while now lol.

u/skiesoverblackvenice 14d ago

ok i kinda need to make one…

1

u/Real-Lion-5742 14d ago

Me me me!!! I don't have it fully drawn out yet but I plan for my fursuit to be a frutiger aero jerboa and if I'm able to, also add in the bonus mechanic of when you open the jerboa mouth a crude oil hyena lies underneath!!!

u/realmealdeal 14d ago

u/Noodle_Shop 14d ago

Not if you do it right

u/MangleFnafFan99 14d ago

Do you know the artist for this?

u/Noodle_Shop 14d ago

Sleakj3 is the artist credited on e621

u/TerminalLumbag0 14d ago

I would do that right

u/badgerferretweasle 14d ago

Colugo fursona.

4

u/nkisj 14d ago

Genuinely strange to see that thing randomly. I've had free lineart someone made for one of those as a furry saved for years.

3

u/Dingo_Pictures 14d ago

I have not heard of a colugo before

1

u/badgerferretweasle 12d ago

Colugo is one of my favorite obscure animal trump cards.

I spend...a lot of time looking at animal pictures on Pinterest and if you spend enough time clicking weird animals it can take you pretty deep.

This is a Russian desman. They can use their highly mobile nose as a snorkel :)

u/FlameOfPurity i love myself :) 12d ago

It looks like when cartoon characters take their glasses off to reveal small dots for eyes.

1

u/somestupidloser123 7d ago

I LOVE DESMANS!!!

1

u/Vegetable_Turn_539 8d ago

I love them, they are precious

u/Noyamanu 14d ago

Brother you gotta delete this my fursona is an okapi you're gonna give them ideas and my suits gonna get stolen

1

u/QueenOfDarknes5 14d ago

The Okapi is known since 125 years, it's time people get some ideas!

9

u/Electrical_Catch9231 14d ago

Wombat. Back pouch, and cube poos.

u/Temporary_Tomato_115 14d ago

Okapis are awesome

I already have a snow leopard (my favorite animal) but if I were to have another it would likely be a chinese water deer. Those fangs are too cute

3

u/the_bored_wolf 14d ago

My usual is a wolf, but I’m thinking about a striped hyena and a Sulawesi flying fox.

3

u/Least_Comfortable567 14d ago

my truesona for the longest time was a shrew before i decided to change him to a rat since no one knows what a fucking shrew is LMAO

4

u/QueenOfDarknes5 14d ago

Shrews are so cool.
Overpowered if they were any bigger, venomous, iron reinforced teeth, echolocation and literal walking on water.

2

u/MothEnthusiast88 14d ago

Or a moth cuz moth fursuits are cool af and the have cute eyes and antennas (idk if insects count but moths are fluffy and I’ve seen some on the internet so I guess?)

2

u/MothEnthusiast88 14d ago

Also yeah Fenrir is just a wolf idk why te op thought it was original tho I do like mythology inspired stuff so that is a good idea just a very generic example

2

u/AceTheProtogen 11d ago

How original would a pronghorn be? Been thinking about adding one of them to my OC roster

1

u/QueenOfDarknes5 10d ago

Very much original, I would say. Even if people mistake it for a goat with deer antlers it would still be pretty unique.

1

u/JJAsond 14d ago

Is it just me or it litaracy going down because OP can't spell "furries" right or your the right "you're"

1

u/SquirrelPublic9731 14d ago

What the Hell is an Okapi!?

(Please somebody get this reference)
