More people need to make fursonas.

Seriously.

I recognise people by their avatars, such that if I associate someone with... say, using an avatar of Madeline from Celeste, when I see someone else with the same avatar, I briefly think it's the same person.

Make your own fursonas. Get commissions. Use them as avatars. Be you, not just an ambiguous manifestation with an arbitrary name and face.

@Taylor .m we still don't have any commissions… >.<

we really should at least make some kind of color block pixel art thing to use as a profile pic

@moonbolt @Taylor You Do Not Need To Get Commissions! You do not have to hand control of /your own self-image/ to someone else. (Art does that for us.)

@IceWolf @moonbolt I mostly suggest commissions because not everyone is an artist. Even if I would like more people to do art and create things. It means you can bring to the world things you want to see that you might not otherwise~.

But if that's too foreboding, commissioning other artists to help is good too... it's what helped with this dragon form...
