Description
I’m sorry for all the grammar mistakes (though the netspeak was intentional) in this. Just pretend it was a teenage girl on crack who wrote it. I just hope I got my point acrossOh, and I don’t really care if you’re offended. The “ur just jelez” card won’t work; ‘cause I certainly ain’t! And if you’re asking if I’m talking about you I’ll simply ignore you.
Time: I’m ashamed to tell you how long I spent on this
Medium: Photoshop 7.0
Soundtrack: Badly Drawn Boy
Art etc. (c) me
EDIT: Besides the "Husky" the full text was cut off by Photoshop. It should read "But then I changed my mind! I didn’t want to draw a kawaii neko after all. Whit chibi-style the solution is easy, simply change the markings, and in some cases, accessories to get the animal you want! Suddenly the kitten is a Husky!"
I'll fix that later or something *sigh*
EDIT II: Fix'd

Ahahahahahahahaha XD
This is made of WIN.
Horns and facial markings are obviously the way to go when designing a character. If their face does not look like someone's markered on a chessboard, then obviously the design needs to be rethought. YOU CAN ALWAYS GO FARTHER

Neon colored foxes and wolves make my eyes burn. Some of them have so thin legs that you can break them by just looking at them. And people who draw them say their style is unique; but why is almost everyone else drawing the same thing then?

And the sparkly rainbowness.
MAYBE I'M OKAY.
I think people just try too hard to be original and end up creating something even more Mary-Sue than they would have if they -hadn't- tried to make it original.

Haha, that's exactly why I prefer simple markings.

This is why I no longer do furry commissions!
It's like they're competing about who can make the most sparkly fursona. LESS IS MORE, PEOPLE.
A cookie goes to you for being full of win.

daym gurl, we should B 2gther.
... it made me laugh. not a whole lot does these days.. and you made me feel better that i'm a .. what did you say... oh! a pompous prick! who spends a gazillion hours on detail and anatomy, whilst everyone else is posting twice a day and hitting the popular section on the front page every other post.
because they draw chibi.. japanese chibi.. japanese harry potter chibi..
it's about like listening to AT40 anymore. Aside from seacrest (who i'm convinced is one of the only good looking AND rich dj's out there) it's pretty damn depressing.
anyways, make a long ramble short, you rock :}

I think the lamest thing people say when someone makes a remark like this is "Well my character reflects who I am so I dont care"
To which I slap my forehead
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or when they go '...but this is seriously who I am!!! I'm just drawing myself!' Surely if someone was -really- a rainbow sparkley scarred neko dragon wolf thing, they would be in a zoo. Or being experimented on.

It's like, It may reflect what you feel you are deep down, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

I'm not guilty of any of these things I promise....ahahaha I can't remember the last time I designed a character with wings, or who was a fox/cat/luperett. Ok maybe a majority of them are bi due to the way their charaterization panned out XP

Wow. Y'know, the real ironic part of this is that the final character which you made is probably the most well-designed thing I've seen today.
You didn't even cover drawing normal wolves with HOMG! bright colorings and patterns. D:
C'mon, everyone NEEDS to know how to make those. They're so scarce on here.
