I think that should be the winning name. :lol:

But I really wish I could have come up with something. I'm just no good when it comes to names.

I didn't mean TexasCat looked like anyone named Trey in particular, just that if I had to guess his name I would've guessed Trey. But Walker fits well. Walker TexasCat was one of my dad's favourite TV shows. Wait, that's not right... *hugs Sleet* Congrats! I'm sure all these hugs will be gift enough. :D

Don't do any of that. The picture wasn't even forum-inappropriate in the first place. This tangent is over. Back to the thread topic.

I'm thinking of choosing a fursona guys. I'm thinking a dingo or dingo-wolf cross because I'm Australian and I like wolves but wolves are super overdone and I do like the look of dingoes but they seem just a little too average. I MUST BE DIFFERENT!!!
I thought of a black dingo (yes they exist) but again, adding a different colour to things to make them more unique seems kind of overdone.

What do you guys think? Am I overthinking things? I mean I can't even draw and I'm not a full furry so it's not like I'm going to use it anywhere, it'd just be nice to have one.

Also, can I change my vote in the poll? It's not a huge deal but I'm a stickler for accurate statistics. ;)

Well, by giving cowboy hat,glasses, pocket knife-collar, and hair, I made mine pretty distinctctive. Or else mine would have just looked like .....Marvin.


So you want Dingo-wolf as your fursona cuz your Australian, mate. Then lets think of something Aussie!
Hummmm,
Maybe a corks hat? Slouch hat? Or one like this?
Image

Or maybe just A regular cap. I usually wear Cadet hat.

Give a nice sunglasses.

I don't know you are looking forward to give a clothing.

Maybe a collar,

Give some nice furpattern.

Diss made his distinctive by giving his fursona cylon, HouseFox by giving two different eye color, etc
There is no Limit to your imagination!
Bam!


I hope it helped.

I think the way to go is to be a dingo. I don't particularly like hybrids, and if you want to be different, being a half-wolf is not the way to do it; those are all over the place.

I don't believe you can change your poll option. I wish you could.

Eh, to choose a fursona, just go with what you want to be. So what if it is common. Be unique by being yourself rather than your physical form. That is where your fursona becomes great, when it becomes you, silly. :roll:

A sparkledog, being every color of the rainbow, with sprinkles and stars all over as markings and wristbands, etc. Example.

maybe a Thylacine. But I'm with Cu. Your species doesn't have to be original, just add a few touches to personalize it.

Holy cow it would! LOL, but you're right, all the little things made yours very distinctive.
So you want Dingo-wolf as your fursona cuz your Australian, mate.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not just doing it for the heritage, I do really like dingoes, they're a cunning, misunderstood and still untamed (mostly) member of the dog family. Kind of like foxes in America.
Then lets think of something Aussie!
Hummmm,
Maybe a corks hat? Slouch hat? Or one like this?
I'm not an outdoorsy person in ANY way, nor heavily into the army, although I hold great respect for them, and I don't think anyone's worn a cork hat seriously here since like the 1950s. :P
Or maybe just A regular cap. I usually wear Cadet hat.
I will most likely have a hat but what colour? What to have on it? ALL THE DETAILS STILL TO WORK OUT!!! D:
Give some nice furpattern.
This is probably the biggest thing I'll do but since I can't draw I can't really try anything out...

Seriously though, that's messed up unless it's like a special character in a story or game.
legendario13 wrote:what about a tasmanian devil?
Maybe. Not my first choice but I did see a really good anthro version a while ago. Looked very cool.
RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:maybe a Thylacine. But I'm with Cu. Your species doesn't have to be original, just add a few touches to personalize it.
I did actually think of that, especially since they may have recently seen one after thinking them extinct for several years.

Thanks guys! :)

there have been unconfirmed thylacine sightings for years since the last one in captivity died right before they were declared an endangered species.
Also, there are some plans to get new ones with cloning.

I actually have Four Different Fursona/persona. I just constantly changed it as my drawing skills got better.
I believe one is black cat, other one is golden Hamster, one that I have right now,one Nekomimi/non Nekimimi persona.

Considering it represents you, that would make sense. I think people just assume your fursona is just any character you like to RP as.

It's a process that can result in changes, over time. There is no reason to limit someone to one fursona for their lifetime.

I think the fact that it was Housefox raising the issue means that they mean multiple fursonas at one time.

changing as you grow is fine. switching between two or three continuously is weird.

My sentiments exactly. I can't see that as anything more than just RP characters and most of the people with multiple fursonas at one time have a primary one.

Now, there are exceptions: One I can think of off the top of my head is FoxLeaf, who has two fursonas because he literally has two personalities. They both represent him.

And of course, changing as you grow is indeed no big deal. I started out as a dog a couple of years ago and I've been a fox for not much over one year.
