Need help with my fursona

[Snappy_Appy96]

Hi guys!!

Okay so to start with;
I'm new to here, and to the Furry community. I've always admired the community, but never had the confidence to join I guess. But now I want to. I'm on TikTok (yes, cringe to some I know) but the amount of amazing fursuits I see on there just make me want one so bad!
I've got an amazing concept for my fursona in my head, but that's where my issues start.
I have no artist bone in my body (other than photography). I know to get a fursuit, you need a reference sheet.
My fursona is a mix of a horse and peacock, if that helps at all.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of someone who could do up a reference sheet for me?
I just want to see my fursona on paper, rather than my brain all scattered, y'know?

Any help would be really, really appreciated.


And please forgive me for sounding odd, I'm just new to the whole thing so I'm feeling a bit awkward

Looked through multiple tutorials and this one gave me the most detailed response. If you wanna draw it yourself. If you want to draw try looking at multiple videos.
You can also try and request for it in the art section of the fourms.

I recommend you google around and try to find a "free use base" !! --> You can recolor and alter those to your liking to get some of the ideas on a paper (colors, markings etc) at least before eg, commissioning someone or asking for a request since starting from a scratch can be very difficult. Good luck!!

I'm gonna kinda toot my own horn here and link a thread I made for this.

forums.furaffinity.net: HEY YALL NEED HELP WITH MAKING YOUR SONA??? TRY HERE MAYBE THIS CAN HELP YA!!!!
While for now I know the list doesn't have a horse or peacock yet. You could have a little look through and see if there is something similar that you may be able to hand off to another artist with your idea. Having some sort of visual aspect to your Fursona will 100% help artists in making your dude come to life.

Hello and welcome!

You could try to define how your sona is hyrided. Which part of it is horse ? Which part is peacock? Are some limbs a mix?
It's things that may help the artist to make your ref sheet. If you're not sure about it, it's also okay, you can see if different kind of hybridation would work with the artist but that may mean more money for that ^^

The Art sales and Auctions forum is made for asking for commissions. You should state your price range and create a thread prefixed "Commission (hiring)"

The Art trades and Exchange forum is for free art. It's more a gamble since maybe no artists will want to try their hand at your sona, but it can be a good way to have some sketches that may inspired you for your sona and have some materials for the commission.

Hope that helps!
