Your sona is soooooo cute/pretty!

Anybody else just decide to make their sona a shapeshifter so that, if new sona ideas come up, you can just add it to the list of forms they have and not have to retire previous ones completely? >.>

My longest oc was called "Cleirk" I basically drew her in kindergarten. it started as an imaginary friend, but along the way I started sympathizing with her and making stories! (She started as a Arctic fox with blue hair, which u transformed into a kitsune and later pitch black hair and wings!)

I think the phrase "unapologetically self indulgent" was the phrase I really needed to hear

My sona is a feline inspired animal (i didn't specify it bc lazy) but if you saw her you immediatly indentify it as furry, she is puppet but she can't says to others that she is puppet to 'her' (me) 'she' uses ascer (yes my sona name) 'she' is my vague silhouette of myself controlling ascer. Yes 'she' control ascer, use her as a vessel/object to interact with my other oc. Ascer close up face is my profile pic. Ascer have her own personality, backstory and likes/dislikes, but self awareness hit her and wakes up inside 'her' memory, 'she' who doesn't have any idea how to interact with 'her' world make a deal with ascer to use her existence as a puppet for 'her'. 'She' doesn't really treated ascer like a puppet but more like a best friend and ascer is now is in internal conflict of her own existence and life. (God this is so long, im sorry if there's grammar. English is my second language.)

ive never been able to make a sona, but i do have an oc i consider my mascot?? it represents me but dosent at the same time, but i use it as my pfp on everything and it basically represents me online,, so it might be my sona accidentily

Omg,thank you for this amazing video!!Your art is so cuteee and pretty,and your sona looks amazing!!!

I've finally come up with a sona I really love and this is exactly how I went about it! What I like to do with my sona is to make them a version for E V E R Y T H I N G. I take the same shades, design elements and energy that I fell in love with and fkin, squeeze it into a anthropomorphic animal, then a demon, then a pony, then a dragon, then a robot, then a slime, then a plane, then a normal ass human being- I just give them a new shape for every show I like. Literally the same lil guy over and over and over again. I do it with ocs too sometimes! Humanoid, anthro and pony only though, I ain't making an helicopter out of each one of them

persona like jonkler

i have a few personas that ive made over the course of ~10 years. it originally started with my main persona, Jay, who eventually turned into her own character (though i stole her name for my own lol. its funny how much we give and take from our art). then the next one i made yeeeears down the line was my spidersona because spiderverse inspired me creatively more than anything else had in a long time. and then for a youtube channel i had with my friends, i got a fursona/persona, which is my pfp. it was the first one i hadnt designed or drawn myself but i still love them and love having a little blue jay representation of myself. im still trying to figure out another fursona for myself, but i feel content with what ive got rn. really good video, very useful!! also love your style, its very inspiring

furries are amazing at art & are so dedicated. I'm so jealous of them because their art is very silly and colorful and i wanna do that more in my art.

I have had the same persona for nearly 6 years, an owl gryphon. They are meant to literally be me and change when I change. I give them a new reference and redesign every 1-2 years.

This was really helpful :0 you have a great style, plus the horse exercise was so fun! Thanks for the video snail-legs! ♡

Thank you so much, this video was SO helpful. And by the way, your persona is so cute! 🩵

"what do you like an abnormal amount" i have the tism.... it could be any of the hyperfixations.... there have been too many to recall.... but youre so right i should get even SILLIER

Thank you for making this video! What I want my persona to be seems to change so frequently that I can't keep up with making an actual design, so just listening to this made it more clear to me what I want my sona to be. And I'm sure it'll help me actually design it too! :D

She started as edgy shit when I was 11, but I got attached and made her a shapeshifting shadow thing so I have only one self insert. In short, she is what I say she is. She has no story or verse because I tried that once and failed lol. I left her as the silly mascot she is.

THESE VIDEOS ARE STIARTING TO PISS ME OFF SO MUCH OMG. Where were these videos when I was searching up how to design my sona a year ago!! Don't get me wrong I really love my sona as it is now (but a new outfit idea flashed into my head while watching this hehe) but theres so many videos about designing your own sona now that would have SAVED ME so much struggle and hundreds of sketchbook pages used up to try to find a sona that works for me. How dare you not be a time traveler!

I went through so much to come up with my final design of my all-main OC, Delta

I do like to think that sona and persona are very separate in my theory

1: I absolutely love dragons and fluffy goat ears and Minecraft so this made me very happy 2: "Just be a pebble" is one of the greatest lines I've ever heard from a UA-cam video

im only not normal about 3 things and one of them is a drink how do i include that lol

We are really alike with our personas, but I don’t want it to feel like I’m copying you :( I also have an interest in dragons, and my persona is also a dragon and a parallel version of me that lives in **my** fantasy world. So, I’m just making sure that’s alright, I just don’t want it to feel like I’m copying you! :)

Your voice is rly relaxing lolol, great art!! :]

<3<3<3<#<3<3

Wow this video couldn’t have popped onto my feed at a better time! I was thinking about redesigning my Sona slightly to free myself a bit from how I look like irl, since it’s basically just me but goat. I want to try and have some fun with it, so this video really helped me consider some of the things I want my Sona to do! Also I just wanna say that your art looks SO god damn soft like the fluffiest and softest pillow you have ever come in contact with. Probably also tastes like strawberry candy floss.

your sona is sooo cute it matches your voice so well

Something in regards to character design, I would say, is that you want your character to be a mix of detailed and simple - not detailed as in lots of small pieces that will make them difficult to draw, but just something specific to make them stand out, mixed in with parts that will be quicker and easier to draw. Highlighting the important things, like you said, that you want your character to represent about you in specific pieces of the character design that’ll really make them recognizable. Like with your sona, even in the cartoon style, the horns and hair still had those swirls that make your character different and interesting visually while the wings were simplified a lot. It’s important to have both, I think. Though again, if you want EVERY part of the design to stand out and scream “I’M DIFFERENT AND I’M AWESOME” then you totally should! Just don’t hurt your hand too much drawing all those individual feathers or spikes or something 😉

I appreciate the video. The topics of actually having fun and doing what you want is def something I needed to hear. I tried to just make one persona for myself for a good while cause I feared that having more then ne would stop me from being able to do content and stuff if I chose to. But It never worked out cause I got too many aesthetics and too many ways to express my gender and compromising any one of them is literally impossible. So I may or may not have multiple sonas for myself lol.

My sona is literally just me, but can transform into a magical girl lol

How the hell do you only have ~900 subscribers, your content is quality

Idk why, but you remind me of JoCat. Just a nice little dude

tysm for this

Not to ask if this is “normal” persa because I don’t think it’s weird. But is it common to have multiple personas? My adhd plays a heavy factor in my art process so I have multiple and often they turn into ocs instead meaning I have to make a new one 🧍‍♂️ I’m working on it

Watching this with absolutely 0 intention of reworking my sona, but rather out of curiosity & the love of creating characters and hearing stuff on other people's characters That bit on 'what if I don't like my sona anymore or the design doesn't resonate anymore' kinda stuff did bring me down a memory lane xD At first I was like "Ay buddy I designed by sona on accident on a random free-to-use base back in like 2006-2007" MsPaint and just tossing colors on it, then going outside with my friend and 'RPing' as the character while my buddy would play a different one from a show. I Somewhat had a different character that could have loosely been considered as my sona at the time, I completely forgot about that one lol, but I remember now - the 2nd one too But yeah, that quick MsPaint thingie? I just started using it more, gave it the kind of hat & scarf I liked to wear and just went 'yeah, sure, this is me now' and I'd use it to represent myself in drawings. It just... Kinda happened. The design was fine, I never put that much thought onto it but it just felt right Then like 3 years ago, I'm still using the same fella. Minor things here and there may have changed, but it's still the same character, mostly used for memes and small stuff. But one day I'm making a small doodle that turns into a headshot of the character, and someone asks me something about the character and go "Oh, so, how would you draw them if they were X?" like different gender or style and such. And so I made a separate small doodle next to it. And. Hmm. You know. I kinda like that. Like. A lot. They're mostly the same, but with a minor difference here and there, and it just Works. But that's just a random 'haha what if different' thing, you know? Does it have the same feeling of just 'feeling right' as the one that I've used for ages? At this point I've partially adopted a separate name that I don't mind people calling me by. I've grown a ton as a person and who knows what Discover JJBA, the good ol' 'if I made a character for this show, what would they be like?'. Stuff and thingies. I go back to that doodle from earlier. I really did like it, so why not use it? And heck, hey, I like this a lot. I enjoy But that's still just a character My sona is my sona, can't get that stuff mixed The character that represents me Has to be ME, yeah? ...... I mean... the JJBA OC character is kinda sorta 'me' as well. They ended up on turning into a JoJo-sona in the end, even if it's been well over 10 years since I've last made a self-insert of sorts. But cringe culture is dead, we ball. I really kinda like this design & my hyperfixation has me drawing a summer icon with the character on it I sloooowly start representing myself with the character on memes and such But they're still not my sona, because they're not 110% me, right? I'm not this great, I'm not this confident or cool. But... what if... your sona... were allowed to be an idealized version of yourself? Dang. That sounds really nice. Hey. Maybe. Maybe we could have more than just 1 sona? People do it all the time, so it wouldn't be That weird, right? And I do have multiple personalities, so, it'd actually fit pretty well ...... Fastforward to present day, I'm much more aware of myself and who I want to be. That small doodle that became a JoJo-sona? That's my main sona now - The Ideal, the kinda fella I'd like to be and wish to be seen as. Old sona still exists, they now represent my humor & the craziness that comes along with it (you know when you're having an absolute blast of a time? Kinda like that). There's also 1 who embodies my diligence & professionalism, the instinct that stands up when we need to defend ourself and all that, & then there's 1 who represents the strong emotions I've got, empathy, anxiety, depression and stuff like that. Each of the 4 have similar design elements, all of their sames start with the same letter & their design differences are inspired by how I generally feel when these elements & emotions are at play. It's made explaining stuff about myself a lot easier as a whole Making that first step of trying out something new has been wonderful There's a bunch that's still similar to what was there all those years ago, but it's now much more refined You just gotta give yourself that chance, allow yourself to experiment. Doesn't have to be an immediate thing, experimenting is super valid - and well, here I personally am because of that Art is powerful & sonas can do a surprising amount of work to the person who makes and adopts them to play a role in their life {Also hi, lol, I type long, whoops~}

I've had the same fursona for almost a decade now! I made him when I was in middle school, and he's just stuck with me ever since-- haven't had any "main" SONA since him, not even CLOSE. He started off as a Pokémon OC of my favorite Pokémon (Zoroark), but as I started drawing/roleplaying with him more I realized he was cool as hell and started projecting myself onto him. I made some design modifications to make the design a bit more to my liking (adding a tail, cutting back on the hair, etc) and basically turned him into my "ideal" Zoroark. It's WILD to me when I look back at drawings I've made only a few years ago and see that his details are ever changing and evolving to fit my style. But throughout it all he's just always been... me. That's me. I think a good piece of advice to keep in mind is not to force it. With my experience, you can't make a sona in a day, *especially* a main one. It's gotta come naturally. And don't be afraid to change details! I've found that drawing from memory helps-- you draw what you think they're "supposed" to look like, which can help you realize when you want to make changes. Just let it flow and see what happens!

rlly good video!!! i enjoyed :) btw your voice is so soft and calming this video was rlly nice to listen to while drawing

(≡^∇^≡)✧

this was a nice video, thanks for making it!

Oh this video was honestly so delightful to watch... As someone with identity issues, making a sona that sticks or feels right has always been a bit difficult. But the questions you suggested sound super helpful, I'm very excited to think about them more!! I think watching this video has also given me more confidence to just switch things up whenever I feel like it. I've always had trouble with being afraid of being "cringe" and this video was definitely some very good reassurance :] ❤

are you using clip studio paint EX? I think the tool (?) panel area where you can click between pages and see the page spreads together is really cool

Your voice is genuinely so calming. I really enjoyed listening, and watching the art, too!

I always say when making self indulgent characters/sonas: Don't get rid of the things that make you cringe, get rid of the part of you that cringes! Just have fun, who cares! Get silly with it! Make that sparkle dog, make that incredibly powerful godlike character that your 13 year old self would love! At the end of the day, it's all about what makes YOU happy. Do whatever you want forever!!!

I like making OCs and it was a big hurdle when trying to find my Sona. I'd create a cool design, fixate on it as a potential Sona and be really happy for a few weeks and then get detached and it just feeling like another OC. It sure takes time finding it haha.

This was recommended to me when i needed it! I've always wanted to draw a sona ever since I was a kid but nothing ever seemed to work, but I think these questions you've presented here have been super helpful! Hopefully I can get a sona drawn soon ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ (also, I think yours looks super cool!)

i love this video, i feel like you described technical skills in a way that i could actually understand haha and i love the exercises you recommended. also i love your mum's horse!!

my sona has slowly evolved from just Some Guy™ to a shapeless creature from the void wearing human skin. especially after i came to terms with being agender, asexual, and aromantic, as well as the fact i’ve been “othered” my entire life-i just think it fits :3c

Dude you're so underrated I love your art and your voice, plus your videos are super nice to listen to while I draw! :D

Fucking love this video, agree with all your points and also love the sona!

My sona is a weird little cat dog clown creature. I made them on accident. When I first made them, I was hyper fixated on this dog clown plushie. On my brakes at work, I would draw a little white dog with an orange nose and a hat. They are vaguely any creature as I didn’t want them to represent a specific thing animal. Kind of like I how don’t have a label for my gender. I really love clowns and have many clown characters. The funny thing is comparing my sona with how I dress is night and day. I like wearing suit vests and formal wear usually with the darker color palette, but I do have some more colorful outfits. This is the only sona that has stuck with me for so long and they just started out as a doodle in a notepad during break at my first job
