Yes, I love pandas but my friend who's into anthro tells me I'm more of a lemur or a fox. She drew a very cool pic of the anthro fox me once. It really looked like me, but it was in a very promiscuous pose. we have a fine line of comfort.
I've been furified close to 100 times if you count all the inspired by pictures. My friend used to have me sit and talk to her over the phone so she could sketch ideas based on what I was doing or saying.
