It seems like most of you have based at least some small part of your fursona on your looks? It's so interesting to read everyones answers^^.

Mostly my fursona is only based on natural hyena patterns, but there are a few things that are borrowed straight from my apperance. One thing is the pawprint marking on her left shoulder; it's a tattoo that I have in real life. Another thing, um, it isn't exactly the same, but I tried to pick some fur colours that are close to my hair colour. It seemed kind of natural to have fur that's similar to my hair for some reason. Spot also has the same set of piercnings I have, even if I rarely include them when I draw^^'. You can see the piercings really well in Tennis' picture above though.
I feel silly now, I forgot the most important part^^'. My skin is covered with rather funny little round scars, and one of my friends once refered to me as a "spotted animal". That kind of stuck, and in part, I picked an animal with many spots in honour of my own skin.
And thanks guys, sometimes I can hardly believe how lucky I am to get such a lot of amazing art made for me. I got this one just a short while ago. It's part two of the drawing I posted last week of a baby-Spot and Chai the kitten. Same artist of course,
corgie! It's actually my first piece of animated art since I revamped and it looks really great to me^^.

What do you guys think about this girl? I am not sure if I want to make her my fursona or not, but I really quite like her.
Also, she has:
- Panda markings. You can see the leg, eye and ear markings under the random colors I added to her.
- Three earrings. Two in the left ear and one in the right, like I do.
- Grey eyes, like me.
More to come. I will probably add a panda plush there, too... eue
But anyway, what do you guys think? ;w;
Wow, I love it! It's really creative how the panda markings are subtly placed behind the other markings, making them almost invisible, unless you know that you are looking for panda patterns. The colours are beautiful, I'm a big fan of toned-down earth colours myself, and they add to the natural-ish feel.
How you feel about it should be the most important when deciding if you want it to be your fursona or not. If you are not sure you could always try it, you've got nothing to loose. Just make some art and stick in your signature or avatar, make up a name... andything that could help you figure out how you feel about it.
But I also really like your current natural gigant panda fursona, that's also a great design. c:
