Ok, so I've been a furry for just over five years now, and my fursona (a leopard gecko) has always been the same - bar a sex-switch circa three years ago (I'm definitely male IRL, I have checked multiple times). But... I've stopped really enjoying roleplaying as her, I haven't had art of her in some considerable time (bar a request a few months ago), and there's nowhere else she represents me. I don't attend meets or cons - though I really would like to, and I have maybe one other furry friend that I consistently talk to outside of RP.

I'm just starting to wonder - given I'm 19 years old and from what I'm led to believe, peak fur is about 17 - whether it's worth having a fresh start in the fandom, with a new 'sona. The only issue in my mind is that I've already spent about £150 on art of my current 'sona (a quite considerable amount of money as far as I'm concerned). So... Advice? Anyone been through a similar thing?

I would like to preface this by saying that this is a throwaway because I'm not comfortable with people other that this subreddit know what I'm about to say.

Over the past few years, this fandom, specifically this subreddit has helped me grow as an artist and as a person. I've met so many great people who have supported me and it makes me so happy.

What hurts me is that I have not been entirely truthful to those I have worked for and my friends I've met here. I've lied about late commissions and why I'm sometimes not responsive.

I've come to terms with the fact that I'm have been throwing myself into a poisonous life-style. I've realized that I am a drug addict. Not to any one particular thing, but to just not being sober. I convinced I cannot be happy any other way. I am severely ruining my life and I just need to apologize.

Not only apologize, but to thank you all for accepting me. Though my drug use is a problem, I've never told anyone here. Everyone has accepted me for who I am without knowing my faults. Its helped me realize that I'm not as hated as I feel people view me as. I can be who I am here in person.

I've met people who have overcome their problems here and it has shown me that I can do the same. I can fix what I've done. I am going to make a promise to anyone that commissions me in the future; I will be entirely truthful from now on.

/u/obsoletepixel , I'm so sorry that I've ignored you so much. Most of the times that you text me, I'm not sober and am afraid that you will be disappointed in me or mad. I'm sorry and will make an effort to respond more often.

I love all of you very much and all your support and love is what inspired me to improve my life, my relationships with friends, and even my art. Thank you all very much.

I've been wondering what the demographics are in this community. I get the sense there are a lot of male, young Americans here, but I'm curious to hear from the rest of you. Who are you?

I'm a 20 year-old male, out here in Atlantic Canada (and just waiting for the dreaded storm)!

I've been spending the past few days trying to envision a fursona- Working on making it an idealization of who I would want to be, crafting it to be something I can identify with. Over the course of this time I have been keeping up with the subreddit and videos, and I see one thing in common when it comes to these fursonas- Canines are seen as uncreative and unoriginal.

I don't want to be another brick in the wall, but I feel like I personally identify with a husky character, and I feel very torn whether or not I should scrap it and go with someone more original, or deal with the rammifications of becoming just another dog.

This has been kind of a heart wrenching process for me because on top of all of this I am having trouble putting my image of my fursona down on paper.

What do you guys think? Should I choose originality or relatability?

So I've gotten an image commissioned but I'm having a bit of a hard time developing him any further. Would anyone mind helping me I don't really know what I'm doing.
