Description
EDIT: New reference sheet!Edit: Current design is now outdated, a new reference sheet will be made for Bow soon. However her backstory/personality is still somewhat accurate.
Wow, two pictures in one night?
Wat...
!Download for full size! And don't steal!
Anywho, a few people were telling me which character to do next; it was a tie between Bow and Demi.
I was very tempted to do Demi... mostly for the reason of drawing sexy man abs, but I though doing Bow might help explain Rainie's story a bit better, so I chose her instead.
I hope you like her, she's such a lovely bunny
Tragic o.o but lovely
Edit: Added a birthday, cause every kid needs a birthday!

Shes so adorable!! and you know damn well Elly-cat is all "Mine!"
Srsly, though, you know Elly would help Rainie and Matt with Bow... and would secretly adopt them all. xD

Daw 
And yes, I'd imagine she'd love to adopt them all. (not knowing her age she might just barely be older than Matt, I dunno)
And THANK YOU

If Elly cat is anything like the woman she's based off of... she's got a couple of zeroes in there somewhere...
Na, I'd say she's about 27 to 30.. But age doesn't matter. She'd still adopt them all. Elly does that.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, Matt would be around 23, so yeah... Elly can be their adopted mom
Maybe they should all have a tea party!

oh what a sad background, i'm glad things got better though.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm glad you actually read the background. ouo
I get the feeling most people don't read it, not that I'd expect them to.
But thank you for taking the time to read it
π: 0 β©: 1
Well at least Β that's how I look at it. ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Awws
I put a lot of thought into these sheets so I'm glad at least one person reads them. ouo
Thank you very much for caring

Exceptional.

^-^ I'm glad you think she's cute.
Though I think it was rather mean of me to give someone so cute such a tragic life
-dis be character development
Rainbows are always fun~ XD
Thank yous very much

Tragedy builds strength. Β She's gonna be a strong little hottie when she grows up.
You're very welcome!
π: 0 β©: 1
I haven't even thought about what she'll look like when she's older. ouo
Lets just hope that her changed mental state doesn't get in the way =u=
π: 0 β©: 1
Well it's entirely possible for a woman to look both cute AND sexy. Β I'm sure that if the time comes, you'll do a damn good job at it.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true, though I prefer one or the other.
And I wasn't really referring to her appearance 
And I guess so. I wouldn;t know where to start o.o

Well to me, there is a sacred, rare sweetspot that one can hit that is better than being EITHER of them. Β Few artists that I have seen can do it, but when they do, it makes viewing the artwork so satisfying.
π: 0 β©: 1
Orly? OwO
Do you have an example of an image that hits this sweetspot?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hrrmmm, let me see if I can find one in my faves.
Opinions may differ, of course. ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course! But I'd still like to see.
It might give me a better idea of what to draw in the future :>
π: 0 β©: 1
This one struck me as quite a good candidate!
It's a Pokemon, so I hope it doesn't freak you out.

Tha's the prettiest Arcanine I have ever seen. owo
I think I see what you mean, she is flaunting her femininity ever so slightly while still maintaining innocence.
Now I see what you mean by you don't often see stuff like that, cause most artists like to be a little 'too' pervy.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm just happy that I'm not too bat-shit crazy for thinking that way, lmao!
Finding things like that is like striking gold.
What exactly was that Skype name? Β I was trying to track it down.

Ah hehe, sorry! Β I was searching based off of your DA name verbatim. >_>
Mine is "mabusarrow"!

This is so adorable, I have never seen an anthro child done this way and it is so freaking cute.
Love this character just as much as Rainie, they're colourful and beautifuuuuuuul
π: 0 β©: 1
Done this way? What other ways have you seen? o:
Heehee, I like making things colourful =u= I also like making things make sense. So I hope her story makes sense. ouo I also hope she's sympathetic
π: 0 β©: 2
I havnt seen that many other ways that has been drawn with anthro children because I rarely ever see it, but when I have seen it, they look like chibi's instead of children xDΒ
I like how you did both of their references colourful, but in a legit way of not being too much flashy or anything that hurts the eye. It is soft to look at and I like it
I cant read her story because I cant see that small text without my glasses. I just need to find them, that is. -Flailing my arms out of bed in a lazy way- Meeeeeep.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I know what you mean. o3o They often look like chibis don't they?
I certainly didn't want to go overboard on the colours or flashiness cause I've seen enough badly designed characters to know what NOT to do. XD (like furrys that are ALL rainbow, it hurts my eyes)
I made the original size picture available for download (over 2600 pixels wide!
But good luck finding your glasses anyway
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah they oftenly look like chibi's so I hope I wont do the same mistake when I'll possibly get the chance to draw Bow xD You draw the anatomy of a child very well~Β
Im so happy you have experienced too seeing horrible and flashing designs that looks awful enough to know what to not do on your own design xD
I should download it and zoom the hell out of it to read it, I like characters with a story ouoΒ
And thank youuuuuu ;u;Β

I had to do a little research to get the proportions right for Bow. One thing I noticed is that children look like they have larger heads cause their shoulders are quite skinny, and their arms and legs are a lot shorter compared to adults. They're also a bit fatter o3o cause of baby weight and all.
And yes I have, some even gave me a headache o.- so I hope I don;t do that to anybody XD
Sure thing. ouo I'd love it if you could read it, I put a lot of thought into these characters. Though of course I don;t expect anybody to read it, I just like it when they do
π: 0 β©: 1
Well a little research about anatomy and such is a Β very good way to start off by before actually sketching out children, I'll keep this in mind ouo Baby fat, its so cute. ~
Some designs are even so flashy that it probably could cause a damage to people who get sudden epileptic attacks xD (Or however it is spelled, not quiet sure). You wont do that to people, you have too much of a fabolous taste. 
I'll read it whenever I can, you're beyond welcome c:Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I always do extensive research on anatomy. Mostly for men and children, since those are the ones I'm least familiar with. Right now I've been looking up a lot of male anatomy (e3e lol) because I plan to draw a few of my own men in the near future
Yeah, good thing I don;t have epilepsy
I'm glad you think I have good taste~ :>
π: 0 β©: 1
I like drawing curves and variantation in my art so I am more familiar with drawing female as well compared to male and childs that has more of a straight anatomy, usually.Β
Good luck drawing your men characters anytime soon, I should do more research too to draw my hubby's characters XDΒ
If you'd have epilepsy, I think you'd be laying at the floor and shaking for hours everytime you'd see too much flashy design
You're taste is awesome, I love it.
π: 0 β©: 2
Ugh, I've drawn so many different male characters and I'm STILL doing research.
By the way, are you any good at thinking of names? I need halp .3.
Aiy, me too :I It;'s hard to deliver constructive criticism without the person thinking you're being too mean. I really wish there was a way you could help them but not sound like you're complaining D:
Daws~ You got awesome taste too Like your design for your fursona... aaaaah I loved eeeet.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeeeee, anatomy and perfection goes hand in hand xD You'll probably succeed to make zee ladies faint
Im not too good at thinking of names, but I use a name generator online and its actually pretty handy! You can try this link:Β rinkworks.com/namegen/
This one gets you uniqe names, I love it
I did critique someone's artwork once and she took it really good because she's a perfectionist too so she apreciates help and tips and such, so she didnt take anything I said in a negative way which made me feel very rassured about giving critique at all. But still, not all people are like that so its hard to give advice without sounding mean ;w; Meh.Β
And thank youuuuuuuuuuu, you're so sweet
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh thank you for the name generator :> I'll give that credit to you when I post the picture.
I've been drawing a male lately, and I had a friend watch me a bit over JoinMe and he seemed to reaaaally like how he looks, so in that case I hope ladies like him too
(By the way, think people would like me to do little JoinMe sessions from time to time?)
Oh that's good! owo I'd love to receive critique from time to time. But it's very good that she was alright with it. Indeed it's hard to be helpful to most people cause they just assume you're bitching, even if you say like 10 good things and only 1 improvement idea. e-e
Β
Noooo you sweet
