I really love the idea of being a deer, but I can't really draw them, and it's really upsetting me.
I'm considering becoming a Lion, I mean, at least I can draw a cute lion that doesn't look derpy!! D:<
Should I do this? Am I ALLOWED to do this?! D:
You guys won't be mad if I become a lion, right? v.v
I've seen some people change their fursonna every month for over a year. XD
Its YOUR character right? :3
You can do whatever you'd like with it. If you want to change it, then change it :3
That is your choice, not ours! YOU should be happy with what you are ^^
Maybe another perspective tiger can give...
You are you... maybe multiple animals are extensions of who you are...there are a few people here who see that, and even think of it as maybe totem pole to their being, interchangeable and added upon during their entire life with their experiences..some people combine animals, but that sometimes removes uniqueness, you sometimes just stick with your animal..
Tiger himself has no fursona nor can draw...originally when I came here moons ago (under another name with few posts) I was afraid of not having a drawing - and was going to commission someone (always an option, you can ask for "steps" (progressive drawings..) they can save for you to practise too maybe..) but found out I can just be myself even without..so I joined again as just someone who felt akin with tigers, maybe even as one in nature instead of human sometimes..
Your fursona can be anything your heart desires. If you ask me, I'd say it should be whatever YOU feel most comfortable identifying yourself with.
Some people change their fursonas all the time based on how they feel. Nobody can fault anyone on wanting change.
However, I do find your reasoning for changing a bit silly, to be honest. Just because you can't DRAW a deer doesn't mean you shouldn't adopt one as your fursona. Hell, plenty of folks can't draw a straight line with a ruler, yet they choose any creature they please to identify as.
But there are no rules to being a furry. You can think and do whatever you please with regards to your character and identity. =)
You're all very right.
Thanks guys.. ^^
I friggin' love all of you. D':
ill be so pissed if you become a lion! >:C
jk <3
I would say, don't change your fursona based on weather you can, or can't draw it. Change your fursona based on what you want it to be (or adopt multiple characters like I have.).
It's your character though, and it doesn't need to be one thing for too long. A lot of people shift through a few 'trial' characters before they settle on something they really like or eventually even make drastic changes way later in their furry 'career'. Do what you want, or what feels right to you.

Well spoken, sir.
Neox is exactly right, with this, in my mind. ^^
I changed mine at least five times before I finally settled on the mink, though it's been stable since then apart from the addition of my secondary personal character (a margay) and my ponysona. Do whatever the heck you want, says I.
Do what makes you happy. Even in the realm of spirit animals, your animal can change from time to time. Do what makes you happy.
But i think if you do choose to become a lion, deer had better stay off the menu.
Duuuuuude... I think I cycled through at least 10 different 'sonas before I thought of what I m now... so many animals... so many bad drawings.... *shudder* I grew up, and my 'sona grew horns apparently! Hehe!
Be what makes you happy.
Also... know that feels about deer... my bf wanted to be one... and I can't draw horns T.T
You can be whatever you want, why would anyone get mad at you? the whole idea of a fursona is it's supposed to represent you in some way, if you change, or you decide you like something different, you can be whatever you want to!
