Not sure if anyone else has commented on this but a friendly note: You said protogen had to be purchased when you meant primagen. Lol no fret though, all new peeps to the cyber species get them confuzzled. Protoarmy gotcha back
On that's good for a sec there i thought I had to get a totally new character and erase my protogen oc and I really love her so thx for saying the mistake in his vid
Use a realistic name to confuse people, including yourself. I remember that time someone said "hey Robert" on a Skype call and it took me a bit to remember, "Oh yeah, that's one of the million names I go by on the internet."
My phone was dead so I didn’t get to watch u premier sad day plz notice me senpai u helped me discover my fursona idea of being a folf I never knew what my species was before I found u thank u so much
Note: Some artists ENJOY helping you design a new fursona if you commission them for a ref sheet. Let them have creative integrity over it and tweak it from there. It especially helps if you're friends with the artist because they might understand your choices better. This is exactly how I went about making my second fursona. Commissioned a friend for a ref sheet and let her make the fursona since it was an original species by her and I tweaked it from there. Turned out amazing and she had tons of fun doing it.
Yayy i just made my Fursona today, worked long on it, just submitted it do deviant art, and then I go to youtube and find this video! Nice timing there X3 Keep fluffy everyfur!
Great video as always Stormi! I'm really loving the progress you've made on the overall production quality. I believe once you get a good mic things will really take off!
Really liked seeing the premiere of this! I really liked the edits, and do think you should make a more in depth video on fursona making. That would be great! Keep it up!
Another recommendation--Please please please do not skin a copyrighted character to just slap their design on your fursona. It looks bad, isn't original (Someone's already skinned them before you, trust me), and if you ever want it made into a fursuit, most makers will refuse to make it. It's okay to let it be inspired by your favorite character but don't do it to the point where it only resembles them and not you.
One thing I personally like about the color blue is that it's nice on the eyes And can go with many colors and look fine One problem is the fact that blue is a male color and im female so my design had to have really big eyelashes to truly recognise that it's a female fursona
I will try to make my Fursona. I love Wolves and Huskies. UwU ❤️ 😺 And my favorite colors are Green and Yellow. And I was thinking that my ears will be yellow and my body Green with some stripes in Red.
one of my fursonas are not my fav species and does not include my fav colours lmao but that fursona is really special to me, idk why but i feel really connected to her
My fursona is an original species that I created out of curiosity about how the zodiac signs would look like if they were their own animal. Her name is Malachite and she’s an American tiger Scorpio that has brown fur with black stripes, her arms are dark brown while her fur is a light brown, her mane is a dark brown color and so are her eyes. She has the Scorpio horns from Homestuck, she has a snake hidden in her stripes which goes down her back, you can only see it if she’s standing upright and you’re looking at her from behind, she’s sitting and you’re looking at her from behind, or you’re directly over her when she’s on all four of her legs. She switches between being bipedal and quadrupedal, she’s mostly seen on her back feet and fully clothed from top to bottom, she has hidden spikes that comes out when she’s angry. Her tail stinger is actually bone and can be used as a club. Her mouth is full of sharp teeth and only the two frontal side ones are longer than the others which are fangs. She has a great sense of smell and acute eye sight. Her claws, horns, wing feathers, and teeth can be shed and already replaced by new ones. In her digigrade form, she walks like a raptor and when she’s in her quadruped form, she walks like a tiger mixed with a wolf. She in her platigrade form, she walks like a human but still has animalistic tendencies, and in her regular, semi-partial form, she acts like a human.
Hey, Stormi, I have discussed this on the furry subreddit with someone, so I might as well tell it to you straight: My fursona is Sylvius Zebedee Mawwed, a red thunderfolf (red wolf + thunderbird + red fox) who has the wings of a thunderbird as well as five short fox-like tails in a tail fan and the ability to control the weather to sn extent (which in part comes from my basophobia and lilapsiphobia, respectively.) The part where my concern starts is that our fursonas share similar color schemes, where mine is German Red, cyan, black, and white, as well as some of the lightning bolt markings that were once on the cheeks but have since moved to border the top of the muzzle as part of the "tear streaks" that you see on red wolves. Despite all the differences, I'm still worried that they may be too similar. Thoughts?
I was actually going to make a fursona for myself that is a custom species that i had mad myself for a book i was thinking about writing, This video really inspired me to give it my all when making my fursona :3 thank you for this video (Yes, i know this video is 4 years old but i am fine)
My fursona started out as a DND character. A kenku rogue, was really cringy how I gave him a TRAGIC anime backstory and he used to be a rainbow-crow (somehow). But over time I mellowed out and I reflected that in him. Basically he's just how I'd like to act or how I act now. I just think it's cool how a character that you've created can evolve with you as you change overtime. Also crows are just cool yo
I'm 13 and everyone at my school is making fun of furries. I don't know what to do I'd like to share what I like with others be I can't. I an also not that comfortable with talking to strangers probably a lot older then me. What do I do?
@@Froggie423 i legit forgot I made this comment. I actually told my friends and we are all cool now (also i am 14 almost 15) If they r good friends the won't make fun of you. They might joke but not make you fell bad. Try telling them if u feel comfortable u might be surprised
I actually forget how I made my fursona Raven the wolf.... it was about a year and half ago when I made her and I guess her design just came to me. She is mostly dark grey with lighter grey also she has a teal hair floof and has purple eyes And I created by second fursona Caelum the Dutch Angel during Latin class because I saw in the book the word Caelum means sky or heavens and I though that was a cool name and then Caelum was born XD
Excellent job with this Stormi! This video would have been very helpful for me when I first joined the fandom haha 😆 Great job summarizing all the needed info for making a sona; it often seems super simple especially when you have one already but for new furs it can be somewhat of a daunting task so this is a great resource. 👍🏻👍🏻
My sona is mostly just me (or what I’d want to be at least) as a furry, but with some reference details here and there. She has blue eyes because I have blue eyes and I just like the color blue, she’s a bunny in honor of my pet bunny who passed away, and she has subtle blue diamond markings here and there as an ode to my favorite pokemon, Glaceon :p For over a year I’ve struggled with coming up with a sona but have stuck with her since may of last year and I love her afjdhfh
I had, like, 4 fursonas that I created on my old phone (including one I created as part of a custom species) but it had an SD card problem so I couldn't save the images I drew of them. Luckily, I use IbisPaintX to draw digitally on my phone so all images created in the app are stored there even if you save them so I could still (kinda) reference but couldn't import or export images •w• So, yeah, I've kinda forgotten what they look like because it now belongs to my brother and has a new SD card in it :V I need to make new fursonas TwT
So far, the idea of Delta came around from some concepts of Call of Duty and my love of huskies, Jay just became another part of myself and he’s still in the works. The other three (Bodark, Kenji Roo, and PanzerFaux) are sorta set together, but nonexistent at the moment. Endless possibilities. *cue Endless Possibilities from Sonic Unleashed*
Tip for poeple who struggling with art *please dont EVER be afraid or embarrassed to us a free base* The reason bases are great is if you fined a certain base style soon you'll memorize the style and be able to draw it yourself! *Ive been using bases for about a year now and my art is improving every day!*
Very interesting, I can admit I've been struggling with this for a while myself. I think that while complex designs certainly give a "wow" factor, simpler, more natural designs can also look very pleasing to the eye. They're also a bit easier to draw over-and-over too!
The design of my main fursona has all white fur so I'm probably not getting a full fursuit as it will be pretty hard for them to keep clean ;; (fursona is in pfp)
My favorite kind of fursonas are the ones with mostly really basic colors like greys shades and then 1 or 2 bright colors that work well together with them uwu
My fursona is an original species based off of dragons, goats,hyenas and lynxes,they have a deformed hunched over and expressive eyes with eyebags. They look intimidating and act snarky sometimes yet have good intentions. They still really don't have a name. As of now,They're various shades of blue with paler and darker accents with one blue eye and one brown eye.
I finished part of my fursona yesterday! I only have the head done I need to keep working but my new stylus dosent come in until tuesday. I’m so excited!
That is a really nice video. But you know that not all fursonas come from art. Some make fursonas from video games like I have when I created Bruzo as a character. So even if you are not artistically confident like I’m not, there are even a plethora of ways you can make a fursona and not having to spend money on commissions. Or at least get one through adoptions.
Great video Stormi! I already have Nuru, but I think this would be a great guide for someone trying to make their first sona! Thanks for the video and great job! Have a good day/night!

*insert Pokesona here*
Seen lots of those
for an OC it's okay tho
Hyde V D L No, it’s not.
I'm basing my fursona, Laurie, on New Line Cinema. New Line Cinema is often called "The House That Freddy Built", and it's my favorite movie studio.
I have 30+ fursonas already. *sees this video* okay now I have 40+ fursonas. Damn that new character itch.
One thing I personally like about the color blue is that it's nice on the eyes
And can go with many colors and look fine
