In case you were wondering, this is what my avatar/fursona actually looks like. For some reason, though, I made him 4' tall...go fig.
At any rate, this pic is about two years old, but it still works as the the best portrait of my alter-ego...and, by the way, he doesn't actually wear those shades. This was the first pic of him as my fursona, period, and the shades were the trademark of the version he was replacing, hence him removing them...it's symbolism, folks.
