#Furry #Fursona #HowTo
This took a long time, but I'm so happy we finally came out with this
Correct 👍
Susan’s definitely a normal OC and not a Mary Sue
Love all these, ‘not a furry, BUT-‘ comments.
NI I DOJT WANT TO HEr it YOU HATE THRMSMMM
GOOOOO EU. DODNTT EANG TOT RUA EHAGD SUSPEU
I mean, I'm not a furry really,
but...
Might be a Furry but still…
:3 Cat
Yes lol
I made my fursona on accident. I was playing Skyrim and wanted to make a Khajiit and I was playing around with the hairs and colours. I ended up making a ginger tabby with long gold hair and a white nose and I just... felt a connection.
Side topic, always wondered if bethesda has a team of furries because those argonians in skyrim are weirdly high quality
haha... same
same but i was making a minecraft skin lmao now it’s one of the main characters in my story
@thegreatdearleaderspriest9184 if this is correct i shall feel serotonin
Same bro
This went from furry art to a biology lesson
да
Not a furry myself, but I love making character designs. It’s cool seeing how other people design and make characters!
Edit: I might be a furry
Same here
Sammeeeeee
Just like me
It all starts with "I'm not a furry, but"
@@sagepupper mhm
okay, this approach has led to WAYYYY better designs already than my old approach of "choose a species, give them a quirk, choose a color palette"
🎉❤😊 congrats!!
Really nice and educational video! I love how much it differed from the typical "how to create a fursona" video. It was really cool to see you create an original species as you went along too!
And I love the joke at the beginning, Susan being very similar to many a furries first fursona XD
Lmao mine was just as bad. Soooooooo edgy and color vomit XD
HEya Mango
@@SeveredSundae hm, what was I gonna say? OH yeah, can you uh wipe your nose please you gat a little nose bleed
Shut the f*ck up this is no "Educational'' vid you B*tch!
Oh hey I'm subscribed to you :D
oh how I love sparkle dogs, I know people don't like them but they're like my favourite thing ever 😭
human brain: it's a stupid concept.
inner monkey brain: hehe bright colours fluffy thing
@@squarohedron0664 yes
I agree
I've got a lot of respect for anything that spits in the face of cringe culture.
Okay but I loooooove all the colors and ahhhh, they are just so dang cool!!
I got out of the furry fandom a few years ago from really horrible experiences whilst i was still a child and early teenager, but even as years went by I simply have come to accept that i love making furry characters, I love making anthros and i love looking at fursuits! So I still don't label myself as a furry and I hate to be called such, but I'm still in the community regardless. My new furry friends are the most wonderful people, and they encouraged me to make a fursona again :) so when your video popped up in my recommendations i ran to it! Perfect timing in my opinion.
So I thank you for this video!
Hey you do you. I myself don't have a fursona and never will, since I'm more into characters rather than ego transposition, but still feel I'm a furry. You can like furry media without being and furry and, if someone bothers you that you are because of it, tell them to screw off.
Apologies if this sounds harsh, but this sounds a lot like a scenario of a person who likes men as a man, yet hates being called gay and won’t admit they do, instead acting homophobic in an attempt to cover that fact. Being one of us is like buying a car: The tile comes with the contract, like it or not. If you tick all the boxes, you fall into the category. And him damn proud of being called a furry. The truth is the truth, like it or not!
@@TheBlackMetalGoatDeer haha well i am a trans man but hate to be called trans so guess that's kinda similar to your analogy? Though my reasoning for not using the furry label is because it reminds me of the people who abused me as a child - which most were part of the furry fandom. It doesn't happen with other furries it's just a me thing, however! I just don't like to be recalled of bad times from a label, but I have no bad feelings towards the community at all. I hope I explained myself well? Sorry :')
@@CrackMeth quite alright. I’m a transman too! Although personally I don’t mind being called transman, transmission, snart, or when I wear makeup with an outfit that accentuates my sizable muscle mass, she-man. To each their own, I reckon, and I can see how troubled past can leave a bad taste in one’s mouth. Personally I don’t trust any priest. I’m Glad to see the full picture. Sometimes I get pretty blunt with people. It’s all snags and slabs, mate.
@@TheBlackMetalGoatDeer oh please, don't worry, you weren't rude at all! Maybe someday I'll come to terms with the label of furry but who knows! Also, I've never heard of someone calling a trans person transmission before, it sounds a little funny I gotta be honest x)
I really like all the thought and consideration that was put into this video. There's so much detail here, and lots of considerations and creative problem solving when it comes to informed design choices.
But it feels more like "How to make an Original Character" than "How to make a Fursona". Of course, the definition of "fursona" is different for everyone, but I think this method goes way further than what most people are looking for in terms of "an anthropomorphized animal-creature to represent me".
There's nothing wrong with that, and this level of intensity and world-building very well might be what some people out there are looking for, but I think for a lot of people in the fandom, they seem to want something more with a more narrow and specifically pertaining to the character than the world. And perhaps more focused on how to represent parts of THEMSELVES, rather than representing the cool creative ideas about whole original planet with an original creature running around on it. Something centered and rooted in who they are, and what parts of that they want to express or highlight. Tips for how to use visual design choices to express an individual's own personality, interests, and values on a fursona character would be something I'd love to see y'all tackle cause I think you'd do a really good job.
Thanks! And yes we considered the approach you are referring to before making the vid. However we noticed that there were A BUNCH of vids that were already taking that approach. We wanted to tackle the topic in our own fun way! Plus its the way we came up with our characters
I’m going to be telling about my fursona that I made with this vid! If you read it all the way thank you!
Oat is a calm shy otter. He lives in America (I’m going for America before the Europeans came) most otters live in groups, but Oat is a lone wolf. He travels alone because that’s how he was raised. Alone. His main food source is berries leaves, and small insects. During the day he gathers water from natural wells in the soil with a tightly woven basket he wears around his back. In Oats free time he is gathering berries and leaves to make paints with. Oat has a strange addiction of having paint on his fur all the time. Oat also enjoys playing with a sling shot he made. He keeps most of his supplies in his belt. Everywhere there are these huge flowers that soak up lots of sun during the day and curl up during the night. Oat usually sleeps in these flowers as they make excellent sleeping bags.
Ty for reading all the way here:3 here is a cookie!🍪
ofc imma read to the end! i read all of the comments. and thays a very lovely character
The video was in my recommendations, I clicked on it by curiosity and was agreeably surprised!
I loved the details, pace, music and overall vibe, keep up the good work and can't wait to see more!
are you a furry? :D
This is a very informative video! As a writer, I think this going to help me a lot in making relatable characters for my book, a great video as always! ^^
Thank you! Also good luck on your book!
As a furry with several sonas, this video was really informative! Now I want to redesign one of them with these points in mind. Thank you!!
This is definitely really helpful for people struggling out there, and straight from the start, it goes into super helpful detail.
You both have done a fantastic job!
Thanks! I tried to take it into a route i havent seen yet. Alot of people seem scared to give guidance on character creation. Maybe its out of a fear of backlash? But honestly i think by not giving structure you end up basically saying nothing at all. Its not that people cant break that framework and rules, but its important for them to start with them before they do so they know why they want to break them!
Found this video right after finishing my fursona completely on my own thanks a lot RUclips 💀
ooohh i can feel it.
I can feel the anger
Rip 💀☠💀☠
Same
My fursona is who I see myself as.
She's a purple goat, but is actually a Capricorn. She wants to be an idol, but due to her size, she's nervous about it.
EDIT: I have changed things about my fursona. She is now a cat goat hybrid, but the idol stuff is still the same. It’s both her size and being a hybrid that she’s worried about.
What the fuck does being a Capricorn have to do with anything
I like purple
hey I have a purple goat fursona too! his name is Dusk :D
I don't draw much so I'm not too used to drawing fur because I mostly draw persona's but now I want to make a fursona cause I'm feeling a bit brave about it this time, Thank you for making this video because it will definitely make designing my character a whole lot easier now thanks to you.
GARGLE RAWR SCREEEEEE RAWR SNARE - Susan
And I live by that
Words to live by.
I’m not all too familiar with this community, but I’m going down a bit of a rabbit hole and it’s quite interesting to be sure. I’m happy everyone has something like this they enjoy!!!❤
The "Hi Survivor" never gets old, its amazing
THIS CHANNEL NEED MORE SUBS
And thank you Soo much bfornthe Tuturial from your previous videos it really helps me alot
This is a super good run through and very nice info! One thing to REALLY consider is if you’re going to make a fursuit OR commission a fursuit of this fursona. Please do make sure to stick to a more simple design and colors that aren’t to hard to find and not to specific (as if fur color) as for the person you commission, it’ll be hard for them to work if there are so many patterns 😊❤
How to know someone’s a furry:
This tone. Idk how to explain it, but every furry I know has this tone when explaining stuff. Yes, this includes me.
lol furry speech recognition
something i also noticed is that it doesnt really matter the country of origin. you can even hear it in foreign accents. e.g. chipflake has a british accent but still gives the vibe
I don't consider Myself a furry, But I love anything anthro. And this video is all around great for OCs in general, Not just fursonas! ;D
I love how polite your voice is, very nice to listen to. And amazing advice as well, thank you ^^!
Why am i watching this, its 1am, i have 2 tests tomorrow, and im not even a furry..
edit: I became a furry!!!
lol that used to be me
We gave them 5 months to cook. Have you created a femboy fursona yet or...?
Edit: Welcome to the community!!
SAME
@@InsertTopic I did!!!
Ik im late but welcome to the community!
Wow! This was really helpful to me, I now finally have a an idea of how I want to make my fursona!
The only negative I would have to say about the video is that the background was a bit distracting for me. Other than that, great video!
Ye too fast and doesn't loop properly
The background helped me focus on the video
This is such a good video! I’ll definitely be applying this advice to my own characters when I revisit them.
i just wanted to make a sona based of me, and now im neck deep into how to make a character with backstory and an entire universe surrounding it.
All creations are reflective of thier makers, if you and I were both given the topic "Space man" we would both likely make very different things! so dont worry too much if you think its not YOU enough because i promise it very much is
This is the best tutorial I've seen for making a bit of a complex character!
I remember when I was first trying to make my sona I found this, helped a lot! Don’t think I would’ve been able to get very far without this video. Thanks!
I would genuinely die for Gertrude
This helped so much I was struggling with my fursona
I love how detailed this is with so much creativity
That was actually way easier than I expected, thank you!
I do appreciate this tutorial, it can help people make lore for there fursonas as well.
Wow, thanks! I didn’t realize there were so many important things to keep in mind when designing a fursona, good timing too, thanks RUclips recommendations. I’ll definitely think about this when designing characters from now on
The adorable undead floof ball is back! :D
Thanks for waiting for us! We just keep getting more and more busy as of late lol
@@SeveredSundae that's ok, like has a habit of getting in the way of things so don't worry about it 😁
This is the best character design video I've ever watched! Now I kinda want to make a fursona...
Yay new video!
Love ya vids sundae and neo
That means a lot to hear! Thank you so much!
Great video as always! Deffinetly put a lot more thought into this fursona than mine lol
Well this is just one of many methods! I think yours is lovely!
Dang, what a sophisticated approach to art
This video has been pretty helpful to me!
As obvious at this may seem, I haven't even thought about the size and body.
So far I went in the same direction as most bases and stuff you see, but that doesn't really match the animal my fursona is going to be.
Thank you for making me consider and think about certain things :)
I Have Been Really Wanting To Make My Own Fursona And This Helps A Lot Thanks! ^^
You guys are doing something right, because I am from other countrie that don't talk English and you too were recommended to me...
I really liked the content on your channel.
Don't know how I got here, but I found the process extremely fascinating. Was very much worth the stay to hear the analytical aspects of character design during the process of creation.
Im glad you enjoyed!
SUPER HELPFUL!! My characters are so much more dynamic now!!
0:09 meanwhile neocryptics arm has gained sentience and is trying to get free from being attached to neos body
I mean, it happens to everyone
especially zombies
@@fluffuwu1922 exactly!
@@SeveredSundae so if i put two and two together thennn Neco must be a zombie
as a non-furry, but feral artist, i thank you :)!!
Aren't ferals a subset of furries
As soon as you said do whatever you want with your art piece or whatever you said I was just like I was so happy what you said that because I came up with so many ideas in my head thank you so much
Okya so,, this video was really useful! I loove your chraracter design skilss and the edititng and stuff was amazing!! Keep up with the great work, new subscribrer!
The first video I watched and I already love it!
Hope you both are doing okay. No uploads for more than a year, and abandoned twitter...
This is a pretty good tutorial, glad I come across this one!
Im glad you came across it too!
I never knew I needed to be called survivor till now✨
I have a fursona that is supposed to reflect me with all my likes, dislikes, abilities, disabilities, and more, but honestly this tutorial has made me see that its kinda weird for what i was going for. theyre supposed to be a hybrid between a racoon and a canadian lynx, with an astral theme (cause i like space a lot lol), but it dosent make since. it mostly looks like a standard house cat with purple dye and stars taped on XD. guess i have some redesigning to do
If you like the design, keep it. It's your fursona and should look how you want it to.
My fursona is a more humanoid leaning wolf-thing. And since I like magic, I made them a mage, and had more of a side hobby as a alchemist. They aren't well liked among the village they live in. I had no idea what to name them, so for a while I was calling them 'Blank' or 'Point Blank' and it just kinda stuck. They're basically a walking reference to ocs I have, things I have irl, and my friends. They use They/Xe/Ve/E pronouns and they are and Omnisexual-Ace Genderfluid. Their zodiac is Sagittarius, and they're mostly introverted.
I love, love LOVE this video, I know I wanna base my fursona off of the song The Exorcist and now I realized that is should start with worldbuilding before a design or backstory, thank you
I just wanna say thank you for putting in 3:20 - 3:35 because I've been seeing a lot of hate towards these people & having a metal illness isn't fun to joke about. So I wanted to say thank you a lot for adding this (again)
Thank you so much! It helped me improve luna, my wolfsoul!(don’t ask me what it is!)
Great video! :)
Didnt know you were here malo. Hi, I was browsing furry artists and came upon this zombie boyo. How did you get introduced to him?
Theyre so energetic and calm.
I like how theyre fursona turned out it was cute.
They where also really nice ❤.
this is so cool and I love the art
I tried furry art twice, once thinking of a species ahead of time and on the other going through this process and thinking of the species first was very helpful to me at least
Thanks :D.
I now have a proper fursona!
She's so cuteeee I love Gertrude!! I already have ideas bouncing around for a furry of my own. thanks for the inspiring video! :))
Just started watching, 0:35 seconds in, and I LOVE your aesthetic ❤️
I made a arctic wolf who is named Icey! Don’t have fur suit of it and don’t have many drawings of it, but their main color is white and their secondary color is blue! I like it being simple.
every character started with 1 drawing dont let the lack of stuff make them feel any less valid in your eyes
I’m not exactly a part of the furry fandom, but I really like their creativity! I don’t know how to make something I’m happy with though I hate everything I make 😀
I know this is so long after you posted this, but im discovering this while mid making my fursona. It's kinda funny you mentioning having a flaw, which is something that i never considered directly, but last night had thought about implementing personal flaws in my sona and it just made it come a lot more wholistic. It changes my style, my representation, my interaction, as well as just establishes my fursona as ... well me. (fwiw: playing around with the idea of a sona that has a manifested inner voice with 2 distinct personalities with their own style and representation that kinda guide me around)
This definitely helped me think about stuff for my fursona. I already had a bit of personality, species and a name, but I gotta finish the personality and a design. I think a flaw is a good thing too and I thought of of one perfect for her during the video
I watched this in front of my antifurry friend
lol hell ye!
I'm going make my fursona a ampute because losing a limb to my diabetes is a very real fear
i love this video sm٫ such a unique approach to making a fursona if im being honest!
thanks! there are like a billion vids on the subject so we tried really hard to approach it from a new angle
as a writer and artist, this is great! not just for fursonas, but for making any other sort of character! (but especially non-humans)
Yay new video
Thanks for watching
BALLER
Great video, it really puts a new look on how to create a fursona
We really appreciate it! thank you!
good general overall advice for character and story development here. also,you're the first promethian type sona I've seen in 20 years (yes, I'm a gremuzzle...or greybeak in my case). sometimes it takes years to completely settle on all the aspects of one's character, so don't worry if things take a while.
This is the perfect video for me since I am trying to make my new fursona as a person new to the furry community- I just joined it but I used to support it and nothing else but now I am part of it, I’m proud of that.
I got the looks and design but I need their personality and flaws.
Hi sundae, my sona is jax and he is also a undead boy. Unlike your which is a zombie, jax is a revenant and is stuck in the mortal realm by a task he didnt do. And I'm just really happy I see another undead boy. Also, dont try to eat jax's brain, or even try. He is stronger than he looks and can explode on command. His flaw is the fact that he is easily tricked and is naive as hell. He loves to tease and joke though.
Yay! more deadish bois!
@@SeveredSundae I ain't going into jax's whole life story but know he is an undead and will stay that way for a while.
But he looks fairly alive, dont be fooled by his alive appearance, he is undead
See you again, when I have improved anatomy
Good luck survivor!
i thank you for the help, my drawint has been stopped because my pen was broken and i was overexited about creating my fursona but didnt know if i had anything that would actually make up my fursona so this really helped me. thanks!
YOUR ART IS SO CUTE AAAAA
I’m a furry and also want to be a character designer and these are honestly great tips for making any character I think!!! This was awesome
Amazing video guys!! The beginning skit was awesome :D
Thanks! It was somthing we wanted to test out. If everyone likes it then consider it a permanent addition!
helped more than literally any video so far
This is good information for any character creation
Soo this vídeo Gave me enough creativity to make my own species its name is: kamos my character has a leopard like tail , deer ears , normal Paws ( like the typical Paws with beans-) now the legs are like a deers legs ( colors: primary color is a light brown , secondary : white , hooves , beans : black they are Also really floofy and kinda weak) they live on a planet filled with flora and fauna they are Also omnivores, theyre main prey are: bugs fruit and fish.
Now my character is a male , 1.56 in height ( they are short-).
Flaws: they are half blind due to a injury from a Giant bug that it was about to catch when it was 11 years old
Food: fish: they have a long tongue that they put in the Rivers to catch the local marine animals .
Fruit: the use their tail to grasp onto branches to easily move around on trees and pick its fruits/berries.
Bugs: they just find a bug and use its long tongue as like a frog tongue and just eats it as a snack-
Water: it basicly just drinks water from a river as its body has enough cells to decompose the bacteria in the water.
And this is the abomination i created :D
Hi! I’m new to your channel and I was wondering if I could make a fursona that’s the same species as the black owl (I think it’s an owl lol) also, if it’s an open species, what is the species called?
ppft- i love susan so much lol
it's neat how y'all got to gertrude! her design is very aesthetically pleasing :] i'll be sure to take these into account the next time i make a fursona
Susan strikes fear into my heart. however im glad you found our vid helpful!
The character at the end is so cute!!
I’m kind of in the denial stage. I guess that I’m just scared of getting a million toxic comments for everything I say and do if I were to come out as a furry. I’ve always been super interested in the humanoid animal kind of design, and have been drawing similar things for years. Especially anthropomorphic creatures. I’m not entirely sure if I should go ahead and come out or just keep ignoring the suspicion-
advice: don't outright say you're a furry and everything should go well
Nice vid owo
We appreciate it! Always looking for improvement!
Okay, so I was interested to know how to make a fursona, But I think you just cured my writers block paired with that. Sooooo, thanks for that! :D
I watched a lot of videos "How to make fursona" but this one helped me the most. Thank u! It was very important to make fursona look different than others, because i will make fursuit of my fursona and i want to ppl remember me when they will see me. So i deleted all canines from my list, then cats and dragons. And because birds r kinda rare i wanted something like bird, but not exactly bird and lizards r kinda rare too. So option was clear; my favorite dinosaur, archaeropteryx lithographica. But now her colors and markings. I love sunsets, so she is themed around sunset colors like red, yellow, orange and purple. Because in sunset there r starting to shine stars, she has glowing parts too on her tail. On what she likes/dislikes i'm still working.
I'm not a Furry but I'm making a fursona and I speak using OwO and X3 and I might buy a fursuit but I'm not a Furry you know
Ofc im not a furry either lmao that would be wierd
I'm working on a Dino mask, his flaw is forget fulness
good choice! how he deals with that flaw will really shape the character in interesting ways!
@@SeveredSundae I based his flaw off of me since I'm very forgetful
This was helpful since I have a TON of unfinished fursonas
Why did this vid teach me more than my science teacher
cause teachers arent rad zombies
