A lot of people are looking for reference sheets of their fursona, but I'm kinda stuck at the part before that, where you need to decide what they look like. I need to be able to see what my ideas look like so I know whether to go with them (e.g. cat/cockatiel mix... cat ears and cockatiel crest-thingy are cute individually, but what do they look like together? And what kind of tail goes with that? Feathers all over the body, or what?).

I've trying using those reference sheet creators where you select from a handful of options, but they never have what I'm looking for, never come close to letting me experiment with features.

Anyone else having the same problem? (I'm actually working on a solution, so I'm hoping to find some people to test it out when it becomes less-shitty and more usable.)

First of all, hello! Well met! This is also kinda like my intro, so everyone, this is me! All of me! So, without further ado, lets just right in. So, well, I've been wondering now for quite some time, about why furry, and what caused it. And, I think for me it started around high school. Around that time, I kinda had decided upon what I wanted my career to be which was join the Army and fly helicopters. My thinking was, well, in order to be in the army I need to be as rough and tough as I could possibly be. So, as part of my self desired "conditioning" I began watching movies and made sure to remove any emotional feelings. As in, when a character dies or there is a sad part in the film, I remain detached. Basically voiding myself of any emotion. It began working, watching Church plays depicting Jesus dying, I had no feelings toward this (albeit still a Christian), and things of that sort. I began basically, trying to become harder than the "bad guys" so to speak. Again this is still in high school. At this point, I was having some serious internal issues. Mentally, I was a train wreck. I (didn't know it) but had some depression, mixed with anxiety and panic attacks. I kept all that in, and powered through it. To top it off, I enjoyed furry art and literature. I hated that I was a furry. I hated it. I mean, I enjoyed it, it was so nice, relaxing and fun, but it was a weakness so to speak, and that killed me.

Well, As I began to grow up and go to college I defiantly began to change the way I felt about certain things. After my first semester as a political science major, I felt much different about the world, coming from a strong strong conservative background, I defiantly felt my ideas moving more towards the middle. After my first year of college, I went to basic training and while there, I was placed in charge of a platoon of soldiers, my "2nd in command" was gay, and well, he was my first. After talking with him and finding out he was not a terrible human being, I actually preferred his company over some of the other folks around. I being straight, had nothing for him, but he was orderly, inline, had a "I'm here for a reason mentality", much like my own. Anyway, as a very analytical person, I did some soul searching, and well, there was no logical reason to hate gays. Furthermore, It was none of my business to judge what a person likes or dislikes, as long as you are respectful as possible in the situation, I think you are in the right. Moving on, this soul searching, spawns more issues, and more thinking which can be bad for me. I tend to worry myself into a problem. But alas, in this soul searching, I embraced being a furry. I don't parade it, but If it comes up, I try to say that I am. Kinda self helping with the anxiety, being out of my comfort zone and all. Well anyway, it just got me thinking, I tried so hard to be hard that I lost my "softness". And, I think that is why I like furry. I get to have some of that back. I think that typing this helps, and maybe allows me to put it on paper and finally quite worrying about being furry. I feel that being part of this community helps me get that back. I still have not worked out all of my "ideas" but Hopefully I can stop worrying about this one. I don't get into the RP and other things of that sort, I'm just not that open yet. I guess I have trust issues haha, but I'm working on all of that.

All in all, I just wanted to throw this out there and put it on paper. Maybe start some discussion, and conversation. Moving forward, Wish everyone a happy new year!
