Thank you both so much! <3 :)
To be honest I originally didn't plan to really put a description (at least not one of this length) below the pic, I just typed down the things that came to my mind, things regarding Sila and me that I've been pondering about many times, and I didn't think that many people were actually gonna read it cause it turned out longer than planned. :lol: Really glad you guys like it! :)


@ Rexein: What about dizzy blossoms., you & me doing a staring contest? It'd be fun! ;D

@lunamot19: I quite like that term. :3 Of course we're not without crises, to be honest just lately I've gone through a phase where I was really in doubt...it's kind of an "Am I good enough/worthy enough to have her, a Saluki, as my fursona/soulmate/other skin?". I end up thinking about people in RL that, at least physically, remind me of a sighthound/Saluki. For example, there's this girl I know from school who's totally amazing at sports and has uberly long legs, long sliky hair, dark brown eyes...I, for my part, am actually skinny but my legs are not as long as some people's, I'm rather short (which is why Sila measures only 60cm which is at the lower end of the scale for Salukis). I am quite fast, both physically and mentally, and despite me having not as much physical stamina as I would like, I am a very endurant and disciplined person in another way - when I want something I will work hard and perseveringly. For example, when I was studying for my final exams I would sometimes start at 2 pm and finish at 1-2 am in the morning with only little breaks. Like a Saluki chasing its prey with lots of stamina, not giving in until it's caught. Still, I often compare myself to others and then it can happen that I get really unsettled... :S

Also, about the vehicle and the fox, this reminds me of something. :0
When I was a younger child (before my teens), me and my parents would go on long bike trips. I didn't imagine an animal running next to me, but I loved to pretend that the bikes are horses. I generally was a very horse obsessed (and animal obsessed, in general xD) kid, and would often pretend that I'm a horse. Fursona-wise it wouldn't fit me, at least not anymore, I'm more of a dog person. But I guess sighthounds could be considered the race horses among the dog breeds which brings us back to the starting point. xD

I know what you mean about the horse thing. I use to pretend to be a cat but cat just didn't fully fit me as a fursona, I'm to...self conscious I guess to be full on cat, and my favorite animal is a dragon but I am nooooo dragon lol. When I'm not brain dead though I can have the wits of a fox, I like solitude but also family, I hate being in one place for to long, so fox oddly fits. I'm also 5'3 btw. I would say though for a sona or other skin ask yourself not how it physically looks like you but how the animal represents you

That does indeed sound like a fox. ^^
Yep, I sometimes have to tell myself that a fursona/spirit animal is not supposed to represent just your physical build but also your personality, so the whole "you"... :3 It would be very awkward if it was only about the physical traits, imagine what someone with a spider fursona, for example, would need to look like. x)


And yay, *5'3-high-five* xD

:0 I've never met someone with a spider 'sona, but it does sound interesting.
I must admit I am afraid of spiders. xD I don't mind them sitting in a corner, or outside, as long as they stay there and don't crawl around. I can't help this fear, I probably have it because my mother is also deeply afraid of them and it's said to depend on the parents whether or not a child will develop a fear/phobia of spiders. My dad doesn't mind them at all, but I've always been closer to my mom, even as a kid and now even more so, so I guess that explains it. They are fascinating, though, and I'm sure that if one looks deeper into them there's more than just the creepyness and crawling. :3

Might I ask, how do you turn the canvas on Oekaki? I can't seem to figure out how. :3

Thanks ^^
If I remember right there is an updated version of Oekaki which automatically saves the canvas upright if you've turnedit around. You just need to turn it upright then with the tool and it will stay like this automatically when you save/post it. :)
Or did I misinterprete the question and you meant which tool you have to use? XD
