#Furry #Fursonas #Fursona - บันเทิง
Note that you don't need a fursona to be in the fandom. I don't have one, yet manage to be there just fine!
This! You can enjoy the fandom all the same with or without a fursona! Don't feel like you HAVE to make one if you don't want one!
Yeah. I feel like a forced fursona might even be a detriment to how people see you, in and/or out of the fandom. So if you don't really feel like making one, why bother?
Right now I’m not sure about what my fursona should be. Or if I should change my fursona because I’ve changed after a while.

Love your new intro!! Pools are far too good of an atheistic :P
Oh hi. I have been watching you since 2017. You were really a big inspiration for me
Did you joined to him? Whatever😑

I, too, am very atheistic.
Pocari roo I love your videos!
how do i make my fursona a sexy wolfdragon like you sendtweet
What and why Glitch
@@llamaboi2813 he's just asking for advice?
If i bite you
Lol
Hey glitch
Me: *a non-furry*
Also Me: *wants to make animal avatar because animals are cool*
Edit: Nevermind, I'm a furry.
Ok
That was me two years ago
*Haha that was a lie that was me a month ago*
I also want furry
You ade
Why did I laugh at this?
How can a "Stay life jacket! Take care" be so *PURE* everytime you say it??
Btw thx for the video! It helped me a bit more about how to design my fursona
Because he's not a creep!
Remember the first time he said that in a video? He had no idea why we wanted him to say that, and said it right after "I don't know why, but so many people want me to say this...". lol
@Tip of the Riceburg Something pure an innocent. It's like when somebody says, "Stay cool." Lifejacket just refers to his overall caricature.
Really? because after watching this video my fursona (that im working on) turned into a regular fursona that can turn into a demonic void overlord which is going to be a bitch to draw
*BEETLE EETLE DEETLE HAS ANOTHER VIDEO*

Your profile pic looks offended by the above comment
I think you can tell by me watching this video (furry)
You actually did it... You commissioned the eagle boyo...
It was bound to happen
YESH
He did he really did
Yup, he did XD
Maverick:* chugs coffee*
Mosfet: I have seen this kind of raw power once before.
Yeah. By me. Accept with 5-Hour Energy.
My Protogen could rival that but with Mountain Dew but I do have a coffee addiction at times
Beta, your sonas form is so refreshing and original that it inspired me to create my sona your form of wagon hybrid is godly and it just connects with me on a deep spiritual level
I just think of a wagon
A literal *wagon*
It's the most fluffy thing i've seen.
Randy RodgersGD Gonna paint a wagon, gonna paint it good. We ain’t braggin, we’re gonna coat that wood!

Thank you so much for naming this video!! The character I came up with and identify with is one that does not represent me much, it’s more his own thing and I always thought a fursona has to be an extension of yourself, but you made me realize that you can portray yourself in the fandom any way you want!! Thanks again!!!
Love the channel intro! Keep up the awesome videos!!👍🏻

For your knowledge: your guide is copyrighted.
I work for the WIPO (World Intelectual Property Organization), and a creation is considered copyrighted at the moment it's created and "fixed", that means it is recorded or written. You can even be walking and singing a random song, and if it's recorded it's immediately copyrighted.
I know you were joking but I just wanted to point that out, if someone cares about the content they create, in example, furry art.
I know this is legit and informative, but you used Wrote. Its Written
@ because I speak in Spanish. You can believe it, or just research on the WIPO website.
@rishi bee I'm 31 years old and my native language is Spanish. You can find that info in the DL-101 course of the WIPO website. If you don't believe me it's ok, I don't mind. Good luck :)
oh epicc
rishi bee, i know this is 2 months old but you could search it up to see if they’re being truthful or not, spelling mistakes don’t define what a person’s job could be, and plus don’t judge others profile picture as it’s a personal choice with no impact on you or their job
The intro looks great!! It’s a nice touch to your life jacket
Nice name
I'm not going to even question your name.
Well said Beta, you've not only encouraged peoples creativity but you also encouraged people to be proud of the Fursona they have already created, I'm certainly one those people. Thank you for making this awsome video!
I used to design fursonas based on my favorite colors and animals and give them similar markings to others in the fandom. It was only when I branched out and experimented that I found a design I loved. It's not representative of me in many ways physically, but I'm more connected to it than any design in the past.
Starting @ 3:50 when you said that the pattern was based off of the white and black Van Halen guitar which represented your love of guitars
Me: That's some good stuff right there.
rip eddie 😔
It took me a while to make my fursona mainly because of the species. I couldn't choose one, but I finally decided on a squirrel because they are precious children ❤️❤️❤️❤️ his colours are yellow, lime green and lavender because those are the same colours as my bedroom walls. Even tho that was actually a coincidence because I was using a random colour generator when those colours came up, and I really liked them probably cuz I see them everyday and it's my bedroom... for a long time I thought I would never find a fursona, but once I did it was the most amazing thing ever I was just like OwO yes
Ayy, cool man!
I'm still extremely new to the fandom and I don't know anyone so this video has helped me a Lot, I was honestly clueless on how to go about making My fursona until this, so I just wanna say thank you Beta!
Thanks this helps a lot cause at first I wanted to make a fursona of a wendigo or deer mixed with a lion but my acquaintance said I should just do a fox or wolf cause my personality that they knew got it better and said "They are both pretty plain like you and you are far from a fursona of a lion, you are to boring and calm to have that but a skittish deer should fit you well" I no longer speak to them cause of this and other reasons, SO AGIAN THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you a lot for the tips :D
They were very useful and because you explain them in a simple way, they can probably even motivate some into making a own fursona.
Keep up the good work!

I really like the part saying how you can change your fursona at any time, and i feel like that's important to remember, because when i was a lot younger i had a fursona that over time i grew to really dislike, so i completely scrapped the character, i still kept some of the design aspects (such as colors, tail maws, etc) for my new character, whom i put a lot more thought into and ended up being much better
This helped me so much ❤, I was so stuck on creating my fursona, staring at my piece of paper wondering what to write. I searched up how to make my fursona And I watched this. After watching this I got so many ideas that had things that make me me, and I have my fursona now! Thank you so much for your help on this❤
Thanks a lot for this video, I've struggled with kind of a lack of identity and self worth for a long time. This is helping me think deeply about what makes me who I am.
Yay! Love the new Adler intro! Always great to see a new video from you, Beta!
I know there are tons of videos about how to create a fursona/oc, but this video is the most helpful I've seen. Thanks Beta!
Hey Beta this is nice and I just told my whole class I was a furry
Even to i'm not beta, good job. What was the reaction?
Midday Wolf don’t u have multiple classes??????
@@sz_b_zstechnix7523 they didn't care
@@llamaboi2813 yeah but I told one of my classes
@@llamaboi2813 He/She is saying this in the means that thay told thay're current Class.
I created my fursona before i ever knew anything about the furry fandom. I'v watched your video on 9 levels of being a furry and have no idea where i fit in. Thanks for the video and keep'em coming.
Man, I wish I could draw...

@@Mistor_Victor my art style that I have right now is very simple and cartoony. A person is literally a circle, box, and four sticks.
I always smile when watching your videos. There's something so pure about them. Love the 'reality' interjections XD
This was very helpful!! We furries really appreciate this help to creating your fursona. This will also help new furries! Thank you 🐾🐾
Maverick blushing is all I need in life
I needed some help for making a fursona so thx
Yo the notes thing is acually really smart!
It’s always a good day when the living lifejacket uploads
I made my slimesona on a whim after really enjoying Kothorix 's LA-MULANA playthrough. The only art supplies I had at the time were 8 brightly coloured markers. Definitely doing a redesign... But after I redo my signature.
Loved the video like always x3 hope it helps many figure out and make their fursona into reality!
Beta you made this video short and simple it's great to not make to complicated yet easy video for tips on how to help out those who have difficulty making a sona like them or something else(even I needed help with that)but this was a great video ,I loved it
Awe, Adler animated that intro. I love it~
Wanna know why Beta has ideas floating in his head? He is 5% buoyant
i definitly agree with all of this! you explain a lot that was right for designing a fursona and im glad you made this video!
i think i finally got my fursona! thanks to this video! honestly still debating if hes a dog or wolf tho:( but ill figure it out! just got in the fandom pretty recently and have been loving it!
Ahhhh!! Hi! Thanks for this!! 💖💖💖 My fursona is just an ugly fur covered version of me. Tired, ugly, and just wants D I E
thats one way to put a thank you o3o
@@merp7174 Indeed
Well at least you are honest.
you were the first i think
@@miku0621 yas I was uwu
I am still new to the fandom and I didn’t know how to make a fursona. This video gives me a better idea on how to make a fursona so I would like to say thanks beta for making this video.
If you were to make a pokemon fursona, what would it be?
**cough** i think I'd be a lucario **cough**
mega lucario uwo
I whuld take an Incineroar.
Nah, Buizel all the way!!!
thank you for making this video! I was really struggling with making a fursona!!! But after watching this I now have one!!!
Anyone here!
What is you're fursona's species?
If you're character inharats some traits from you, what is is?
Mine is a half lion, half reptile, partuali mechanical, wartorn scientist from my book siries, and my RPG.
He inharats my inability to feel emotions, guilt, remorse, simpathy, and my full on logical view on the world.
I'm gonna answer:
1)It's a wagon
2 Just me because I don't wanna be an actor, I am who I am
I never really bothered with the whole personality of my fursonas; always has just been, well, me!
@@Ash-ti1ei good on you.
I use mine to cosplay, bicuse of the connection to my book. That's why it has full "personal bio" attached to it.
1)he’s also a wagon
2)-Energetic
-Likes hugs
-LOVES MILK
-Annoyed easily but IS annoying too
-Shy around strangers.
-Likes water
*Boom*
My fursona is a fennec fox because fennec foxes are cute also just was big floppy ears
And this is just some things about her she is a chef she is extremely sweet and she loves children and loves entertaining them she is extremely social and very hyper almost all the time
i dont consider my drawings to be furry drawings but i do have a drawing of a chicken chef with a robotic arm.
The guitar thing is really fluffing cool.
Love this video! My main sona is a wuffderg and he is pretty simple in terms of design, but his personality is waaaay out there XD
Watching this video after having already made my own fursona, almost everything here would've been useful. I was mainly inspired by Raeal the Protogen. Saw it, and I was like "Yes". Now my 'sona is a navy-blue floofball protogen tech nerd with wings that're like the size of their entire body. I could probably make another one, I'm no stranger to making 22 different- er, sorry, I mean, a single new character. Either way, I'll definitely keep this in mind in the future. Thanks for the tips, Beta. May your lifejacket keep you safe in the tough times of 2022
I really need a fursona because my profile pic is a real llama :)
Llama Boi Keep the pic, Carl (from Jimmy Neutron) would love it.
Mine is bazooka and I like it blows away all you problems including You
Good video helped a lot. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
my fursona is a fix with black fur,dark blue hoodie,blue pupils,and
a cybernetic arm
i was working on my ref, then i saw the notification, the reason my profile pic is black bc its not done yet X3
Get it done
Jesus are you having troubles
@@Dareuseguns maybe X3
It’s been a year......Tell me when it’s done!
@@zendutcher1119 ok XD, i had to change my whole species and making my own original one
Thx for making this video Beta! I think it really helped me. I've been trying to figure out the "perfect fursona" and I've had absolutely no ideas. Now that I've watched this video, I feel like I got something for once. That good first step.
Well... The minute i saw the video about protogens you made, the decision has fallen. Thanks... Keep your awesome work up.
Love the video, thank you for your advice and tips. I was really overthinking this but now it's all clear for me on how I want my fursona to look like. Thank you and I really like your fursona's desgin!! 😄🙌💫😎
Thanks for your suggestions Beta! Would actually live to see a video about being inspired and copying someone else ^w^
Adler animated intro! And just in time for summer :D
I sort of base my two main OCs on my personality (but amplified). One of them is cheery and kind hearted (which I try to be) but very curious and likes to ask questions.
My other one is the "bad side" of me. He's sleepy, lazy, grumpy and doesn't enjoy social interaction. (Very stiff to talk to... quite literally).
I think I would honestly want to perform in the second OC versus the first one. Because 1, I do get lazy and sleepy alot... and I'm a shy person. But 2, I feel acting over the top grumpy would help with any actual frustration I may have, because that "acting grumpy" can easily be shown as "he's so cute when he acts like that" kind of manner. It would be to the point where it was funny to watch. (Think Tayerr)
whaaaa I love the intro :3
Here’s something to remember too! It’s ok to create a few sonas and pick your favorite as your main. I have 3 mains and a few extras! I have a personal one (to grow with me), and 2 characters who represent the parts of me!
Hi Beta I would like to send you some fan art but on witch platform (instagram, twitter) will you most likely see it? Love you and have a good day/night UwU
Mikakyu I suggest Twitter, because he has 3.7k followers on Insta and 15.7k on Twitter.
This was actually really helpful, I'm glad I came across this video! I have been trying to create a fursona for weeks now and I have been struggling up until now!
I am a panda
With cataracts
I cant find
ANYTHING
And I’m hella lazy and slow
Makes sense
Then think about this,pandas are pretty lazy too,so I think it fits you! :D
This is one of the best "guide" videos in youtube!
All I managed to do was make a bus
Bruh
So proud of you aye
so far my fursona is Ermine me but.......
lives in a city, has rainbow earrings, more fasionable, more outgoing/less introverted, lives alone, has friends within walking distance
similar to me: still kinda quiet, low energy, and into nerdy things(games, animation, anime, comics/manga)
I never really thought of just putting the little thoughts on paper! Thanks for reminding me!
Me in the morning: Alright, time to watch the next episode of One piece.
Dad: We're going somewhere special Today.
*Later that day*
Me right now: *sees a new beta video* OK this is better.
I will break your neko neko kneecaps if you say that again.
@@astupidphase Says the user who's playing as the profagonist from Xenoblade Chronicles.
this video is very helpful and will take very note into consideration and keep watching it to make sure there is a tick in every box so i have it all
Wait, I haven't watched your channel in awhile, did Adler the Eagle make that intro?
Hi, I’m new to this whole Fursona thing but I like the community. This video helped me make my Fursona thanks.
ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
This helped me think about my fursona a lot. She doesn’t really represent me as much as I’d like her to so I think I might make a new one.
Nice halo gameplay in the background
*is it weird that I watched this twice just to try and see what is going on in the background* 😂
I saw the visor and the color scheme and guesed it was odst
Thanks I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while and it stressed me out but this really helps narrow things down

Me: excuse me

Me as well: those two things can't be co-existent
Thanks for the inspiration I've already have an idea but you made the idea better
Thanks, this video was very helpful for me. I think putting it to paper was what I should've done when I first started brainstorming, but actually doing it (after watching the video a second time a week later >.>) really helped out.
thanks dude. i somehow got chills in my right leg only
0:44 BetaEtaDelota is that your ref sheet for your fursona? IT LOOKS AWESOME! Keep up the good work!😃👍 ✋😔👌
Thank you so much for the advice of writing things down. I tend to have a lot of ideas, and have a hard time fitting them together in my head, and end up making like 350 WIP characters, not liking any of them. Its confusing for people who try to know me on amino @_@
And then there's me, who had something like 20 unused D&D characters before joining the fandom. Naturally I used one of them as a fursona. Kobolds are best bois and gorls.
Awkward thing is, being a D&D character, he already has a ton of backstory stuff that makes him difficult to roleplay in a furry setting.
Example: he's engaged to one of my other characters, whereas I've been single my entire life IRL. Makes for some awkward situations when ERP starts up over discord.
My advice: Making a D&D fursona is a good idea in my opinion, especially if you want to add a bit of additional flavor to the character. Just avoid making the backstory too over-the-top so you don't face situations like mine :)
@Manawa HumeCook wow this was a year ago! I actually changed my fursona so now that one I talked about there is just an oc. My fursona was developed separately but I did make a character sheet for her
this was super helpful, right nownim struggled to make my sona unique. this helped me quite a lot with that
Funny thing is beta is my inspiration for my fursona being a wolf dragon
im sure im a furry and this video really helped me start with my fursona creation ,thank you
That intro was adorable-
I've always thought that furries were super cool. Never thought that I would want to create a fursona but here I am!
Thanks for the tips Beta! I was thinking of redesigning my fursona Maple to better represent me and you just made it easier.
I still need to make one. I've been stuck on it for like a year. I'm gonna try making it this week even if it's bad.
Thanks for the help! Your amazing
I also suggest mood boards if you’re stuck! Find an aesthetic and google photos and make a mood board! This can help with colors and designs!
it was really funny when i redesigned my dutch angel dragon recently cause it looks like i took my main inspiration from telephone (the creator of the species) when i based mine off of the waterfall section of undertale, eyes like sans, and okapi leg patterns lol
The fact that your fursona pattern is based off of one of Eddie Van Halen's guitars is probably one of the coolest things ever
