Naked 'sona?

[Fallowfox]

I don't have a fursona, but if I did they'd go naked and real, rather than 'disney-safe' as you put it. Certainly when I do draw anthro or furry characters I don't add clothes...or fur and skin in some cases.

It's an interesting subject though, that bodies are such a controversial subject even for imaginary figures, even to the extent of removing or ignoring certain body parts...I feel that's in ways infantile or perhaps a vehicle of pronouncing sexual tension, much like in the arab world a hijab covers female hair and female hair is thus seen as sexy and scandelous, but at any level this seems to exist; in ancient Greece naked genitals were fine but an exposed glans was seen as scandelous.

If they're bipedal and fully conscious, they should be wearing clothes. Shit's creepy when they're just casually naked, unless it's like porn or something.

I have no problem going around naked. Nude beaches are great if you get the chance I recommend going to one. Society puts such a stigma on nudity, you're born nude so why the embarassment from what nature has gifted you?

 

[Dreaming]

-Does your 'sona wear clothes?

Some do, only two are fully clothed though.

-Is your 'sona primarily naked?

Some are, heck yeah

-Does your naked 'sona have visible genitalia or is he/she "disney"-safe?

Disney safe, always. I cannot draw genitalia ok it destroys their derpiniess.

Anywho: discus. To clothe or not to clothe? That is the question.

It's not uncommon to go with both, really. Go for both if you want.

Oh no. We are NOT going there.

FKK

FKK

I don't know what that means.

 

[Jasriella]

I don't know what that means.

I had to look it up myself. It's a naturalistic view of things if I read it right.

'Frei Koerper Kultur', or 'free body culture', the start of the nudist movement.

 

[Greg]

Both. Variety is the spice of life.

 

[Ouiji]

All of my characters so far that I've commissioned are clothed. Perhaps later I'll do unclothed.

 

[HarlequinFinch]

Mine's naked, but 100% clean.
I do however have a 2nd fursona/feathersona, Chlorine, who wears clothes.

 

[MrSynndicated]

I'll say half naked most of the time, it depends on the situation. He normally just walks around in his pants since his cotton fluff makes shirts hard to wear, or in public he'll have on his full suit.

 

[xcliber]

All my characters wear clothes. It's not quite taboo to be naked, but it's often frowned upon and is embarrassing, perhaps to the extent of being caught in your undies irl. It's not illegal or anything in my sona's world to go out in public without clothes (some poor folk can't afford basic clothing. it's not a necessity either when you have fur), but it's still shameful and people will give you dirty looks.

I think public indecency laws do restrict areas where you can legally be naked outdoors, which I feel isn't quite right. It's a manifestation of people's awkwardness in their attitude to their own bodies.

Sorry, I meant to imply that it wasn't illegal in my sona's world. I know we have laws irl.

 

[TheNakedLunch]

I put clothes on mine. However, if I draw any of my characters naked, they will get the "natural" treatment. My Fursona will stay clothed though.

 

[Lantern]

Depends on what I'm drawing. Some characters look better clothed, some look better Disney-safe and others look best NSFW-style

 

[Jallycyn]

I'm in the process of drawing some sketches of my first fursona. She's clothed to add style and personality. However if I were to draw her naked it'd be with full genitalia and secondary sex characteristics. I mean, she's supposed to be a fantastical representation of me, and I have those things, and they're a part of my identity, so... yeah. o_o I mean, I have no reason to believe I'd show my naked fursona to any children or anyone who's not already totally okay with the fact that I'm a furry, so I don't see any reason to worry about it.

 

[DW_]

Mine doesn't wear tops mainly because it'd be very awkward, what with having wings and all.

 

[Kajhera]

The sexual characteristics of a deinonychus aren't exactly the most blatant things in the world so I guess Discovery Channel Safe?
Hopefully clothing ideas will be easier when I have an anthro version to work from, but I'm a little unsure on that front.

 

[Shiroka]

Currently, he's either hanging in nature with nary a piece of fabric to cover his shame, or wearing pale shorts and glasses, sometimes a collar or hazelwood necklace around his neck.

Anyway, have you ever seen a lemur with clothes before? That's what I thought. >=I

 

[Ramses]

My 'sona does wear clothes, but not a lot of them. Usually he's happy with a pair of shorts and maybe a tee with the sleeves cut off. The clothes are partly for protection (especially the, um, tender areas) but also because he lives in the city, and one shouldn't go around the city naked (some people here frown on that).

(Also, yeah, clothes are one of many ways to make a statement, to help define a personality.)

When other people draw him, he's sometimes clothed and sometimes naked, it just depends on who's drawing him and why. Naked is never disney naked, though - everything is visible, even with all the fur.

 

[pudgeyredfox]

Marie is naked but disney safe. Sometimes she wears a tuxedo jacket, ruffle shirt, and a top hat when she is performing magic, otherwise the most she wears is a yellow neckerchief.

 

[Deetz_Meerkat]

For Deetz it changes based on the situation. If I'm trying to showoff a job or hobby I'll usually include the clothes that goes along with it (I.E. If he's repping the navy I usually include my uniform in the commision). Though even when not clothed Deetz will always be worksafe unless I want him in a specifically adult situation (which I haven't done nore really think I will be doing.)
