Concept Art: Otterly Ridiculous (Patreon)

Loving everyone's suggestions for what animals PB and Jam should be in Fuzzbutts! Feel free to keep suggesting over here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/fuzzbutts-pb-and-57126668

One suggestion that kept popping up was "otters", which I find really interesting, since otters have so much variety across their taxonomic subfamily. For example, there's the adorable, fluffy sea otter, which eat their meals on their tummies, use their body as a raft to keep their babies warm and dry, and hold paws with other otters to keep from floating away.

And then there's the South American giant river otter.

(cw for fish gore)

This thing. This thing. Six feet long and highly territorial, river otters run in packs that routinely mob caiman (imagine a smaller alligator), biting them to exhaustion and eating them alive. Groups of them are also known to drive off jaguars.

And like.....y'all know I live for contrast like that

So this is just loose concept art, I'm not locked into any ideas yet. With Option 1, you get big scary Jammie as a chaotic, unapologetic giant carnivore (and most certainly a career criminal), looking out for her adoptive "baby" twin brother, who is soft and innocent and not at all secretly troubled. 

With Option 2, you instead get PB as a horrible murder noodle, perpetually stumbling over himself to look small and harmless and palatable so he doesn't spook people with his secret love of bloody fish. Jam, meanwhile, is teeny and fluffy and full of anarchy. 

What do y'all think? I'll probably keep fiddling around til I get something that feels right
