Commission requests for your persona?

[Buddafly]

I agree with the perception of it being like someone asking for a self portrait of you.  my persona is mine... I'd be flattered that you wanted a physical version of it, but I'd have to politely decline.

I like the idea of having my friends' personas as part of my collection! But I can understand how personal they are... I know some people spend years developing their personas.
Mine kind of happened by accident. I was never even into zebra or white tiger stuff until this past year, when I started collecting zebra print blankets and pillows and such. (Of course now I'm obsessed.... lol)

Anyone care to share how your personas developed?

I joined the boards (tp and arena) and saw that everyone had a persona they used when asking for adoptables.  I sat with a printout and markers, and colored up a few ideas.  I double checked to make sure I wasn't jacking someone else's design (I really liked the idea of a black or white persona with rainbow hair, but I saw a few of those already) and that was that.  the easiest part was my symbol.  my husband and I's zodiac sign symbols together

I agree it's flattering, but I wouldn't allow it.

I still don't have a persona of myself, only a pony character I made. Everytime I try and sit down to make a persona, I come up with nothing

Don't force it, maybe it'll come Perhaps you could try making some new OCs if you don't feel the current one represents you well enough? Who knows, you might end up loving one of them so much that you want to make that one your persona. ^^

I'd love to make personas of others and I love others to make mine (for me), but I could never sell puuush! NEVAAAAR!!!
A persona is something very personal to me. Selling it would be like selling your fingerprint. (And who knows what they'd do with that)
