Furries! Species Change Week is May 1st through May 7th!

Post by Sleet »

Every year for 7 days starting the first Sunday in May, furries change their species. :3

I haven't decided what I'm gonna be yet this year!

Oh right, it's that time again.

Last year I created and used a Growlithe pokesona, that I ended up liking and keeping as my OC. I think this year I'm gonna stay true to my username and choose a grey wolf. I have a grey wolf OC I made around the time I finally settled into the otter 'sona you see today, but apart from two artworks, I never really used him much. That will change.

So, look forward to the wolfie me :3

Wait... you mean you're not already a wolf? Huh, didn't know that till now.

I wasn't able to take part in the one last year, sooo I'mma join in this one. I've thought of becoming a raccoon named Roll. Just because, hehe. Though that'd mean I'd have to use a new pic. Hopefully I can get to drawing a new one. Or... get someone to draw me a new one. Hopefully the former since that seems less of a... hassle on someone else.
Heellooooooooo!! Anyone who wants to talk to me, please do. I get lonely sometimes and I get scared whenever I talk first...

So, out of curiosity, when was this trend started? And why exactly are we inclined to do it on the certain week?

I already have one set up. :3

But the commission I got for it has taken forever. Being reminded of the week reminded me to remind her. :?

I wouldn't know how to change species, seems like it'd be sort of difficult...

Done! It's a little early, but I've drawn the icon of the wolf sona. Sadly I lost the original design for the guy, so I had to start from scratch. Full body... maybe someday.

Name is Faris (pronounced 'far-rees', means knight in Persian). A quiet and reserved grey wolf who's also very buff and well-defined (blame my friend for injecting that idea into my head), he loves to read books and fanfics in his free time.

I'm not sure... maybe I'll be a lynx, or I could be an otter, or maybe even a siamese bat.

I'll have to think about it.

This is gonna be difficult. I don't know what else I could be. I'm more into like wolves, dogs, and foxes. I'll have to think hard about it.

Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Ukrit, species unknown, origin the world behind our mirrors.
He stumbled upon earth by accident while running a weather experiment and holding a mirror up. He was struck by a lightning bolt and now has a means to find his way back home but no way to do it, as he cannot obtain a flux capacitor to do so.

yep, somehow he was moving 88 miles per hour holding a mirror up to the sky where he was struck by a lightning bolt. :-D

Kinda. :P

I actually have a little bit of fox in my bloodline. Its most obvious result is a ruddier pelt and a few markings (like the face).

I'm a little late in the change but it is done. I'm a reindeer named Jaxon. Idk why. That was the first hot name that I thought of.

I would have gone with being a bear so as to make another weather-related pun (about baroclinicity; bear-o-clinicity), but I changed my mind... Instead, you have Doom Hawk :P .

And it's at times like this that I'm so frustrated by thw fact that I can't draw. I would love to try out something like this, and I've recently had a lot of ideas for changes I could make to my sona, but there's really nothing I can do that doesn't involve drawing.
