Feral or anthro

[Sne]

I wonder how you see yourselves or your fursona(s) or character(s). While it's understandable that some people sometimes see them(selves) as feral (animal-like) and sometimes as anthropomorphic (human-like) and often switch from one to another, not to mention switching whole fursonas, I'm curious what's the preferred perceived shape. I hope I'm not overcomplicating this Please add species if not the same as your profile says.

For me it's like this:

Sne (me ): feral
Lumi (white tigress, RP character): anthro
Chernokryl (red-winged blackbird, fursona): feral

[Drago]

No preference

Kyratzes, my main fursona, is usually anthro, although he's ocasionally feral.
 
 Kreo(Stag, fursona): is always feral.
 
 Porcius(wolf, RP/game character): always Anthro
 
 Those are all my most commonly used fursona and characters.

For me, all of my characters or fursonas are based on me in some way... I have...

Kioh (Feral wolf, also the name nearly everyone calls me, including my girlfriend) who's like the sensitive, loving and caring part of me.

Felix (Anthro coyote, the only place I use her is on FF so far!) Distant, apathetic.

Aatu (Anthro, no specific species) Happy, silly, fun, pervy and totally unpredictable.

(Edited this like 5 times now haha, I keep noticing little mistakes.)

Well, two of mine are based off of the Redwall series, meaning feral, but still having the ability to somehow wield bows and swords, and can speak.

Tammo (Squirrel/my current avi) - Feral
Reamus (Otter) - Feral
Gorm (Albino Dragon) - Feral
Deirx (Arctic Fox) - Anthro or Feral
Leiton & Mawz (Black Wolves) - Anthro

It's easy, just look at the info under my avatar image.

My fursona is normally in feral form, but I, personally, prefer anthro. Weird, eh? xD;

[WingedZephyr]

My fursona is feral, but my other characters are anthros.

I prefer feral for my fursona because I just like an animal's form over a human's. It seems more balanced and sturdy. I also think it would be awesome to be able to run on four paws.

My other characters are anthro because it makes them feel more "human" as I develop the stories and backgrounds for them. I like to be able to relate to them and have other people relate to them as well. To have them just be talking animals doesn't inspire me in quite the same way.

Anthro all the way

[NJMike]

Only one fursona/character, and it's anthro, which is what I would prefer.

[Timmy Fox]

I'm feral and that's what I prefer

...However I do have the ability to freely transform between feral and anthro, but as I prefer myself feral, that's the way you'll see me 99% of the time

So for all the ferals that have replied - how do you solve things like having opposing thumbs and other things a feral body wouldn't be able to do?

My fursona, in her (imaginary) world, lives as an animal would in the wild. She doesn't need them.

Whenever I want to draw her doing something with her hands, I do use an anthro form of her. I just prefer the feral one.

<is feral. I use my jaw; but as I am a cub, I don't need it very often; thus I just use it to do stuff like flash people in the face by nomming a camera. 

[MrRazot]

I only have one: warren spencer, and he's anthro all the way
