Furry Avatar Maker

A square icon with animal ears, whiskers, fangs and any fur color you like.

Skin tone

A furry avatar is usually a headshot icon: ears, face, a bit of shoulder and a bright background. It is the picture that represents your character in chats and on art sites.

This maker draws animal-eared characters with a human face shape. It does not draw muzzles or full animal heads. If that style suits your character, you can have an icon in a couple of minutes.

Icon basics

Furry icons follow a few habits that make them readable at small sizes.

Ears inside the frame. Cat, Fox and Bear ears fit the portrait crop. Bunny ears are tall, so check the top edge.
Natural or neon. Both are common. Fur color follows the Hair color, and any shade is allowed.
A background that contrasts with the fur. Sunburst and Solid are the usual choices.
One accessory. A Choker, Scarf, Headphones or a Star sticker.

Markings with the parts you have

There are no fur pattern layers, so markings come from combinations. Whiskers adds an animal nose and whisker lines. Fox ears have dark tips and a white inner. Skin tone can match the fur for an all-over color, or stay natural for an animal-eared human look. A second color goes on the hoodie or accessory, which reads as the character's accent color.

Icon, then reference

Once the icon feels right, press Full body to see the tail and outfit and download a second image. Together the two make a starter reference: a headshot for avatars and a full view for showing other people what your character looks like. The fursona maker page goes further into designing the character itself.
