Fursona; Do they look like you?

[Manly-in-Training]

I created my sona as a mascot and made it look similar to myself, and iv gotten flack from other furries cause it has a quote "DND nerd beard" but that's like actually my face

 

[Alison Savros]

Well, not entirely. I'm not a dinosaur in real life so I guess the only part of my scalesona that looks like me is the body style and her wardrobe taste. As for fursonas, one of them looks more like me which is a character I don't use quite as often anymore.

 

[ManicTherapsid]

Other than shaggy hair and a goatee, not really. Never dyed my hair blue either.

I wanted a fursona that was literally the furry version of myself. I'm pretty wild and flamboyant with brown hair and high cheekbones, so I went for it

We are definitely on the same page. Mine is basically an anthro caricature of me. Just with the boring bits left out. I even tried to pick a species that matches my personality. Is this your first character? I wonder if first timers are more likely to base it off of themselves?

 

[Liseran Thistle]

No, Liseran looks nothing like me at all.

 

[_Ivory_]

My sons has my same body type.

Heavens, no. My first fursona was a black and silver thunder dragon covered in knives XD

No imma human....

 

[Lyka Snowfield]

My fursona is a reflection of my human self. I gave her my eye color and body accessoires.

Jax is similar but different to my own physical appearance. The best way I can describe it is that he resembles how I "feel" about myself. For example, I am 5' 10" but he is 5' 6" because I don't really feel all that tall and lack self-confidence. He has blue eyes and glasses the same way that I do and his hair is styled in a mohawk just the same as me. However, Jax has a tear in his left ear and is missing his left ring-finger. I do not share either of those physical attributes but they represent how I feel on the inside; the torn ear are my feelings of not belonging and the missing ring-finger is my tendency for emotional self-harm/flagellation. I guess it would be easier to simply call it symbolism.

...She is my mask, per say owo so she resembles me but isnt me if that makes sense. What happens to her, doesnt happen to me emotionally or physically.

Saw this post and felt compelled to respond. It may be because Jax is my first 'sona, but what happens to Jax does in-fact translate to me. The best way I can explain it is that Jax is like a second "body". The spirit that gives him life is still me; the same spirit that resides in my real body. As such, while I am able to disassociate to a certain extent and "make believe", I cannot go too far outside my natural actions or behaviors. Additionally, things that are done to Jax affect me in return which means I have to be careful who I interact with and in what context. This is the reason why I will never be able to do an ERP session.

Maybe it's just me then. But I will say of yours is supposed to be like you ot certainly matches the description you gave of yourself in a cool way!

 

[softdusksky]

My fursona is also me. Like my personality/essence. But of course, I'm not a bat-dragon in meatspace. They have my hair styling and freckles though!

 

[kittycairney]

My fursona is basically me but a raccoon with more tattoos and piercings! And she perhaps keeps her muscles a little more toned, hehe. I guess she’s sort of like an idealized raccoon me.

Personality wise, she’s me through and through. Maybe a little more of a party animal, or what I wish I could be if I didn’t have social anxieties.

 

[Doar Sign]

My fursona is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (see my thread for more information). We are very similar.

 

[Jackpot Raccuki]

I wished I was a big half grizzly half canine being...
I'm even jealous of his metabolism.
Then again, I'd prob get people petting me constantly and hugging my fluff. >w>

His personality is somewhat like mine, except he looks friendly whereas I don't, heh.
He's a good boy and loves pats, real life me is the opposite, or at least I can be a 'good boy', but depends on my mood.

 

[xremeidiot]

My android icon looks kind of like me, abstract as it is. The shrike sona I’m making looks way cooler than me though.

 

[Z-ro]

No way in the world

 

[Arnak]

Ricky, yes

Arnak, could care less

Aika, mother fuzzer won't leave me alone (in my head)

 

[Nyro46]

Meh, kinda. Mainly just some small things, like eye colour, fur colour kinda (is sorta similar to my hair colour I guess), and height/weight. Their clothes are more like the clothes I'd wear if I had them, but I more often just wear a hoodie (the only flannel shirt I own I usually wear for lounge only). Other than that, I can say I'm not a caracal with feathers, so yeah.
Fern looks more like me than my previous fursona did, tho.

 

[Dreammaker33]

Melisa has no resemblance to me at all.
