I've recently been trying to think of a fursona for myself (I've only really been considering "being a furry" for the past month or 2, so I haven't done much "preparation") and, during that time, I've encountered a piece of media that I got interested in (I don't know if it could be called furry media specifically, since while it has anthropomorphic animals as the "main focus", it's not acknowledged as something to be pointed out, and is instead just passively part of said media), and the design of a fictional species from that media has influenced my work-in-progress fursona quite a bit. However now I've come across a problem, I don't think i can use said species as the species of my fursona, as I am not affiliated with the media or its creators in any way, and even if that was ok, I never know if any of the people behind it won't get into any kind of controversy (this is why I didn't mention where said species is from, as this post could be interpreted as a false/baseless accusation against the people behind that media, and I do not want it to be interpreted this way). My current plan is to just write the fursona's species as a "Non-specific Canine", however this could cause a problem of plagiarism, where I refer to something that has taken clear inspiration from that fictional species as "Non-specific", which could be viewed as an attempt to discredit the original author. Removing any similarity from the fictional species is also an option, but it will only make making a fursona more difficult, since I would have to look out for and avoid any similarities between my fursona and the species in question, as well as other fictional species (if I don't mention which media I took inspiration from, any fictional species could be considered a potential candidate for being a victim of my "plagiarism", and if I do, I go back to the previous issue of potential controversies or misusing the property of an author). Have any of you experienced similar problems, or know what I could do here? (also I apologise if I've misused any terminology. My knowledge about this topic is currently very limited.) (sorry for the essay)

Hi there, I stumbled across this old thread that was closed a couple years ago talking about age ranges of the community. Wanted to repost it as I’m in the same position as the OP. Looking for folks in my age range to connect with after finally hopping on board.

She's still a work in progress but so far I really like her. If you have any name suggestions lmk 🙂.

Im turning 28 now, since i discovered furry fandom when i was teen (15 or 16 year old), still dont have fursona or fursuit

Edit: thank you all! :3

Hey im very new to being a furry I only realized after talking to a guy for a long time im still super new to all of this and I want to know if there's anything I should know because I dont want to mess up

a creature roughly similar to a character called Candy who happens to like candy, associated with Astrozerk[04]

The theme of our RPG is fantasy, and it's been fun playing it, but tell me, what would your character be like? And what would the theme be?

Who do you think is the impostor?

Video and fursuit both owned by me, link to my original reel here:

So I'm an older guy for context, my friend back in high school mentioned being a furry so I know what it is, we talked about it back in the early 2000's.

Never really cared thought much about it, been seeing stuff on tiktok, i think like cons or something not sure what they are called (I live in texas).

Thinking it looks kind of fun. Maybe i can open up a bit be a bit more . . . me behind a mask if that makes any sense. But really don't know where to start or anything about it and iv'e reached out a few places and never heard back anywhere there was a sub for my area but they don't allow any posts.

I finally updated the design of my last shiba sona trio.

Chatty, Bratty and now Unhappy :)

It was long overdue anyways qwq

So I was putting in a new texture I bought and while doing so I added a new emission layer, I put it on the wrong layer and ended up with a cool effect with an asymmetrical colour gradient.

And honestly I love it. The whole thing has come off reminding me of Ghost in the Shell. And I really couldnt be happier.

So this is my new Foxigen I guess.
