THE GREAT FURSONA DEBATE.

[x.azaelia//away]

So I decided to redesign my fursona...kind of...except, I'm having some serious issues deciding on which one I want to use, design-wise. |D So I thought I'd ask you guys' opinions as well, seeing as I asked people on dA. :3

This is Azzy's current design. It's a hybrid of coyote, hyena, lion, weasel, and wolverine. I've recently edited the markings on it slightly. X3

This is my first attempt to redesign Azzy. A lot of the original markings remain [different colours though], and do throughout most of the designs; the species, however, changes quite a bit. So this is mutt Azzy.

This was a variety of templates that I coloured in, hoping to find the perfect Azzy. They are a coyote, hyena [used werehyena lineart though, was to lazy to find actual hyena lineart XD], lion, and bobcat. :3 My favourites in this batch would be the coyote and hyena, but I'm still very unsure.

This was my most recent attempt, which I just finished a few hours ago. :3 It's Ocelot Azzy, which I'm rather fond of, but still unsure about. I've never really considered doing Azzy as a cat ; I usually think more along the lines of canine or hyenidae whenever I debate about changing my fursona.

Okay, so, though I'll probably do LOADS more [mostly coloured linearts though lewl -lazy-], I'd love to hear your opinions on these ones. More will be posted as I go. ^^

Oh, and if you have a suggestion for a creature you think would suit me, please feel free to suggest. ^__^

Personally, I think the ocelot one is amazing. You did a great job on the art and the design. I also love Azzy's original design, the tail looks awesome. Might I suggest a cheetah x fox hybrid?

I like Azzy's original design...as do most people, really -- I'm just not sure it suits me anymore, y'know? :3 Azzy's hybrid version was originally created...almost two years ago. Over that time, I've gone through a lot of experiences, both good and bad, that have changed me -- therefore leading me to believe that I'm in need of a new fursona. x3

At this point, it's essentially a tossup between the hyena and th ocelot; I'm quite fond of both. X3

Speaking of which; this was my last attempt at drawing hyena Azzy. c:

I might give it a try, but I'm not entirely sure that a cheetah would suit me. While I think they're a beautiful animal, they represent a lot of things that I'm...not. xD Physical power, grace, speed...and I'm like...the exact opposite of those. |D Foxes are...alright as far as suiting me goes, but I wanna get away from wild canids. X3 Most people seem to want me to either stick with the original Azzy or do some kind of canine...but idk I'm more drawn to something...different. -shrug- Y'know? Hence the ocelot and the yena. <3

Hmmm... Okay, have you ever heard of a new guinea singing dog? They're very resourceful and persistent. I've never seen a drawing of one of them before. I know you're trying to get away from wild Candids, but it's just another idea. I love your hyena drawing of Azzy, it's gorgeous.
