Description
My fursona, Marwan, got evolved constantly as time passes by. The slight change here isn't really that big, but if you look closely, and if you have known my fursona for years, you might be able to tell the changes.For one thing, I made his torso even more masculine than before. A few people have confused him as being female, and I hate it. Marwan has always meant to be male. Someone pointed me before the main cause as to why this confusion occures: His shoulders are too feminine-looking. So I made them broader than before.
All the rest of the changes are pretty minor: I draw his hands and feet slightly bigger than before, after realizing how small they look in my older drawings.

Yeah, well, I no longer draw him like this anymore. He looks... weird to me now when I look at his older designs now. Though, a few people once told me that they like his older designs, because he had even bigger eyes back then. (I shrunk his eyes after having a better grasp of the anime style since then.)

*Trying his hardest not to make the joke but it's overtaking him*
Yes, I know you may believe a lot of people may have confused you for a girl, but don't feel too bad. I'm totally sure it's happened to Chana too! =^ ^=
....I tried...I just couldn't resist as.. I'm so.. so very weak.. ^ ^;;
Now, truth be told, I actually could see the alterations. [Then again, this is me we're talking about...]
The hands and feet are a notable size larger. You chest doesn't exactly look as fluffed up as much as in your other pictures, so yes, it is noticable. [Again, to me at least.] It looks well.. toned and less feminine.
I can't help but use the reference here as it may get me killed, but in comparison here: [link] ,The broad sholders you have are much more becoming and do make you look more say...um.... 'guy like.' They aren't as slender as Chana's are and as shown in your old pictures. [Someone's been hitting the gym lately... ^ ^;]
So yes, I can say the update is pretty cool. ^ ^

Yee, I know what you mean...my George character has 'evolved' much more than I ever expected, and also unwillingly too. I guess thats what happens when you constantly draw a character over and over, bits here and there are bound to change. Yep, I'm sure Marwan used to be a little taller as well, no? Another reason for the gender confusion might also be the eyelashes; although, to me, those look just how I would portray a male character's eyelashes, thick and slanted downwards. But some people tend to just think 'Ooo, eyelashes. Must be a girl.' Anyhows, I love lil' Marwan, I must draw some fanart of him sometime.

Thank you. You wanna know how Marwan used to look like back in good ol' 2002, long before I even know you people? Here: [link] As you can see, he has changed quite a lot.
(On that time, he's still a tiny being, measuring only 1.5 feet tall. His height has changed over the years. By the time I sign-up in deviantART, his height is now 3 feet tall.)
Oh, and actually, by the way, Marwan's height still remains the same, the same as that very first picture I've submitted in deviantART. (He never gone shorter!) He's supposedly meant to be 3 feet tall, which is almost as tall as Sonic The Hedgehog. (His tail length is exactly twice his body height, which is 6 feet long.) When it comes to group pic with other characters, it can somewhat poses a problem -- I have a hard time trying to figure out the approximate height of a character before I draw them together. (That's why in my first giftart for Tobias, I accidently made his seal fursona a bit too big. )
About the eyelashes... I knew that someone would eventually mention that. Yes, the eyelashes are meant to be masculine. I've tried my best in drawing the eyes huge, yet still remain masculine. Also, I've seen a lot of anime series, and I studied how male eyes are drawn, particularly on the way the eyelashes are drawn. My findings is that if the eyelashes are drawn with even less detail than that of women, are more thicker, and the eyelashes are drawn pointing sideways instead of upwards, then it appears more masculine. The idea here is so that I can even draw male eyes very huge -- as large as females' -- yet still remain masculine. Really, my main focus is just the eyelashes.

Wow...Marwan looked like a cuddley little Pokemon-esque character way back then.
In regards to his height, I think the reason I thought he'd gotten shorter was because his torso seems to have gradually...changed through some of the other pics I've seen of yours. I swear he used to have his legs and body the same length, I just thought in this pic his legs are slightly longer in comparison to his body, and erm...yeah, led me to that conclusion. But yes, now I do see what you are saying. I never thought he was only three feet tall, either.
Yeah, whenever I draw male characters with eyelashes, I tend to draw them like you do. I think they compliment his big eyes nicely, and I wouldn't have thought he was female unless I was told otherwise.

He's still such a sweet looking character though :3 thanks for informing us all of the changes ^^

Does he has longer ears than before? or is it just me?

I haven\'t replied to this comment for a long time, and for a good reason... I want to clarify whether you were right or not.
Yes, his ears do seem to have grown longer than before. I looked at my older pics, and, yes, his ears are longer than the ones in his older pics.
I do admit that the ears are semi-inspired from Klonoa\'s... That\'s why his ears are like that. I seem to like droopy ears the best... And the longer, the better. (But not too long, that is.)
