Description Thought a few might be interested in how I worked through creating my new character Rust.
Normally when creating a new character I have more of an idea and/or inspiration about what they will look like, but I was starting blank with her. I just knew I needed a kitty girl, and went at it.

These drawings spread over about 2 weeks. Please ignore the random badly drawn foot haha. The color in the middle is with cheepo markers, and I had more color experiments in the digital ones at the bottom, but those were the main 3 that I was trying to decide between.

Sorry it's so big!

Thank you! I don't usually have to try drawing out a character that much, she was a pain haha. Didn't think I'd ever figure her out xD;

I always find the process fascinating to see. There is one image that I loved in this where she's stood with a thick, fox-like tail curled out behind her that I thought was wonderful. I love Rust's final form, but it's sad to see what doesn't make the cut when it's all so brilliant (even the unsuccessful bodies).

Thank you! I always enjoy seeing others' processes so I thought people might be interested :>ย  I'm really glad you liked it. And it is sad when you don't end up using things, but that just means they can be saved for the next character :p

Exactly I would love to see that fox tail on someone. It looked beautiful, and I suspect emotions could be fun to portray through it XD

Is she "peppercat-inspired" by any chance :3?
Also, these are many fine scetches.. I like this process!
There are ridiculously cute ones ever so often too, teehee ~

surprisingly she is not Peppercat inspired xD
I thought about it, but decided not to go that direction.
Peppercat is too unpleasant haha

Thank you c:
