SirRob Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) In general, or in terms of attractiveness. I think I'll always prefer the standard canines and foxes over anything else. Is that boring? I'd imagine most furries are the same, but I'm interested in hearing what you folks like.

Nova Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I use wolf for the camouflage of my species so i can say common . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDingo Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Moderately common. My two characters are a dingo and a leopard gecko. The kinda creatures you don't see all the time, but often enough so they're not total snowflake material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valery91Thunder Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Variety helps when it comes to drawings, at least personally. Especially when you draw for other people, it's always nice to see sonas modeled after different species once a while among so many canines, so they break the monotony xP They don't even have to be that snowflake-y or sparkly, and whenever I'm asked to add some random characters on the background I always go for ungulates, rodents or other uncommon mammals to show some variety. On the other hand though, canines have become so common that they've become part of every artist's confidence zone: they're "easy" and "simple" creatures perfect for warm-up doodles, excercises and experimental styles.

Guest Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Definitely. Canines and western dragons are annoyingly common to my tastes. It gets monotonous after a while so different, less common species keep things interesting for me. I like hybrids too Oh, another thing, I'd like to suggest a poll be included, you know, for science.

Recel Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I prefer hyenas, crocodiles, gazelles and such in art. They are just somehow either cool or beautiful to me.

Vallium Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Im a hybrid, kind of rare but also snowflake-y in itself, wolves dont have wings, thats silly! That said the winged fantasy mammal creature isnt too terribly common in fandom terms...I think? (barring angel dragons). i have other original characters, which are also hybrids and lesser species. A civet (african and malaysian), a feline/dragon or feline/bearded dragon/thorny devil depending on my mood, a goat/foxbat, a capricabbit (goat/rabbit/fish), a (reverse-black with white spots) dalmation/pitbull, a winged ferrox, a common dragon, and just some common felids. some other species of note (that some Id want to turn into my collection of Ocs) Okapi, alpaca, goats, dragonfly, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, iguana, gryphon, bearded vulture, bats, leopard, octopus, squid, polecats/weasels/ermines/ferrets/stoats, wolverines, opossums, alligators, thlylacines, manatee, eel, snakes, leafy seadragon, spiders/tarantulas, paramecium, tardigrade, eastern dragon, other lesser known mythical creatures, linsang and genet and other viverrids, capybara, platypus, bush dog Some original story features my favorite characters which are all feral talking animals with no colorful neon designs; Spot- a border collie, ozzy- a tasmanian tiger wolf, Corv- a raven/crow (I watched too much animal planet as a kid, I really like the variety in the animal kingdom...tons of neat species get ignored) Edited January 4, 2016 by WolfNightV4X1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really though, I don't dislike common species, but I personally enjoy Avians/reptiles the most, so that's a personal preference. I love seeing all types of fursonas, the more variety the better! Avian high five. I went for owl because I just love them in general and fit me the most, didn't care if it was common or not. I don't dislike common species, and I don't dislike uncommon ones either as long as they're not trying too hard to be their own special snowflake. I'm indifferent on this matter...

Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I like the rarer species. Shows people can think of something unique. If I was to make a 'sona now, I'd make him different species, but you work with what your past self made so.. Tough luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
