Advice for a newbie furry on ref sheets, personas, etc...
I'm a long time lurker of the furry fandom living in the heart of Arkansas and I'm trying to figure out how to make a ref sheet created to fit my personality and i just don't know where to begin, I have hand-sewing skills and a lot of focus with being a high-functioning BI autistic.
I have doe ears and a doe deer tail coming from Etsy along with non hooved feet paws and hand paws which makes me think it may be a hybrid of some sorts. I know I can't afford a full fursuit at the moment but have been looking at Howl and Big-Z fabrics to hopefully make my own someday.
Back Story: I also have many many plushies I truly adore since I don't have a lot of friends (100+) I have acquired over the past 5-10 years or so which range from komodo dragons, Raccoons, Bats, Giraffe, Snow Leopard, Fox, Deer, Quokka, etc. to a 1 ft tall Rainbow Dash plushie from MLP (Also a Bronie)
Thank you all in advance and from what I've seen the furry community is very welcoming!! <3
