Another time where I am asking for advice or just putting stuff out there.
Background behind my fursona, Andromeda:
In first thinking of a name for my fursona, I wanted something that represented some part of my life that not many people know about. I didn't want to do sports or art because that seemed too common. Then I thought about my passion for science. I am a biology major and love chemistry and environmental science. While all of those things are a bit common at my university, not many people know about my love for astronomy.
My dad, grandpa, and uncle have loved astronomy and all things in the universe for as long as I can remember. I just love space and planets and stars because of how much I wonder and how much it amazes me. It is so large and we are so small to understand and see it all. Of all of the things going on in the universe at one time and we worry about the smallest things in the universe. Wow, I still really love it.
Coming up with that as the main focus was the easy part. Then I wanted to find a name that sounded beautiful and also was something that visually is awesome. I first thought of Aurora, for the northern lights, but knew that had been used before. Then I thought about the Andromeda galaxy, M31. And it was perfect: it is beautiful, the name is beautiful, and the colors are what I love: some blues, purples, and browns/yellows.
I was just wondering if my concept art and design represented the galaxy enough:
I was going to have a bandana that looked a bit like space with Andromeda on it along with M31 on it. I just didn't know if anything could be added to the suit directly to attest to its astronomical bases. Maybe a planet, but our planets are not in Andromeda. A shooting star seemed too common as a fursuit symbol, and the nucleus symbol seemed way to difficult.
If you have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Tablet/pen suggestions
I am going to get a new laptop once I graduate and it will be a tablet/laptop flip style. I have had issues with by bamboo drawing pad for a while and it makes it more difficult to draw than it is really worth. So, I am wanting to be able to draw directly on my laptop.
Does anyone know of a type of laptop/tablet that does this well? I have one in mind that I want to get, but I'm not sure. I also want to know if buying a special kind of pen can be touch sensitive with the laptop to make different sized lines. I do not like apple products and will not be buying an external drawing tablet.
Latest Update
Sorry I haven't been on here very much. I was going to take a 1 month class but I didn't need the class and the stress it would result in wasn't needed.
I have been trying to finish my fursuit, and honestly it is looking amazing, but I have had problems with the clippers I use to cut the fur. The problem has been making that part of the project very long, tiring, and difficult. I promise that when I do finish it I will post pictures.
I have just been so unmotivated to draw lately. I'm going to be graduating this May, which is an amazing feeling. My parents have been stressing that when I graduate, I will look for a job nonstop until I find
Fursuit Update 3
Since my last update, I have gotten a lot done on my fursuit. I'm about 3/4 of the way done with the tail, which has turned out amazing!
That being said, I will do everything in my power to finish my fursuit by Halloween and get a photo shoot in by then.
Sooo excited to get it finished!
I have also been doing some sketches for some Lion King related art that I will hopefully able to do soon. With busy classes and work, I will not be able to be very active on here until around Christmas time, which is disappointing but I can't do much about it sadly.
Hope you all are having a wonderful fall!
Fursuit Update 2
Sad news: I most likely will not be able to finish my fursuit in time for Halloween. That isn't definite though, so hopefully I will. I don't want to disappoint anyone on here and I also want to go scare some people at work! Halloween is over our fall break here at Whitworth, So I might be able to pull an all nighter and finish it.
Here is what I have completed so far:
Entire bodysuit
Feetpaws
Handpaws
Head is furred, partially shaved, eyes, are glued in, and still needs the neck pieces
Still need to add final touches to head, like hair tuft, shave the ears, and possibly some whiskers.
I wasn't completely satisfied with the design of
