Baby, I can wear your handcuffs, I can wear your ringI can be your princess, I can be your kingI could be forever or I could be just a flingI can do both, I can do both 

I can meet your mom or I could be for hireI can make you moist or I can start a fireDo whatever cheeky freaky deaky thing that you desireI can do both, I can do both 

fiddling with jupiter’s design (and story) again. I like his original flashy orange-purple sparkledog palette a lot actually, buuuuut because it’s so loud and complicated it’s a pain to make it not clash visually with his clothing/makeup/environment. It fits his loud flashy personalityl but it sticks out like a sore thumb against other characters. A solution is to make him more monochromatic (the gray version) so he becomes more of a “blank canvas” that I can dress in all sorts of colorful outfits (Jupe is meant to be a rich kid and very fashionable). 

I like both designs and I’m having trouble picking which should be Jupe’s look going forward. What do you all think? :3

ps. I went through all my Fuzzbutts posts and properly tagged them all. you can now click on a character’s tag to see every art post they were ever shown or referenced in. Eg. clicking the “jupe“ tag below will show you all posts featuring him since his first appearance

İ do love Jupe's original colors but the monochromatic makes a lot of sense! I'm excited to see more fashion pieces from him!

StarrySharks

Why not both? Maybe a naturally duller, more monochrome color pallate, but he's enjoys a bit lf dye? The "this was a mild inconvenience therefore I need to dye my hair about it" type, and/ bright makeup and temp dye/hair chalk to match a particular stellar outfit. (Maybe tries to get Bruce to let him chalk his hair either as a color test or just for fun and gets a grumpy boi in response)

StarrySharks

(otherwise I do definitely like the monochrome pallate! Bright colors look good too but the darker colors stand out gorgeously)

I am just personally attached to Jupe's warmer/colorful palette but I like the idea of very monochromatic characters liking to play around with colorful clothes and accessories, maybe he does often dye his coat sometimes? So you can keep the greyscale one for idk day to day life but the only thing is that idk, both Bruce and Jupe are kind of black/greyscale, how do you think they'd look together?

The orange in Jupe's original design could be desaturated some. That might help the sparkle dog-ness a bit and make it easier to match colors to in outfits

echoing what’s below, i think he should have the duller palette be his natural coat, but sometimes he dyes it vibrantly while wearing a fashionable “monochrome” outfit or something when he wants to make a bold statement. either way, he’s a stunning character!

I like the orange/purpley coat.

Though I also adore his original orange sparkle-dog appearance, mayhaps you could do with him what you did with your second iteration of Cloudburst from the Pandoraverse and make him an arctic fox. I could definitely see him as the kind of person to use his white fur as the perfect opportunity to dye it all sorts of fun colors! Plus, bonus, nothing ever clashes with his coat! (also I can ABSOLUTELY see him as the roommate who, in the process of dying his hair, dyes the whole bathroom in the process, much to the annoyance of Priscilla and Bruce. Whenever they try to bring this up with him, though, he claims that they're "stifling his creativity" lol)

Having him be monochromatic definitely makes his flashiness a much more deliberate choice on his part! and it really does open the doors for just about any color palette (doesnt black go with everything?)

AsTheJayFlies

also, thank you for backtagging! i had noticed the discrepancy and it was bugging me, but i wasnt sure if it wouldve been annoying to ask it of you. Now i can surf your character tags like tumblr posts :) also i wonder what u did for summer, if you also tagged her “star” concept art with her current name jfhshdg

mirarevias

I wonder if you might be able to find a happy in between, like maybe more of the right with small traces of the orange and purple markings from the left that he can then accentuate with his clothes? Instead of the orange and purple taking up as much in his palette they could be little splashes of color instead? (Maybe around his arms legs, or tummy and face?) I definitely get what you mean with it clashing, and I like both designs! You could also do the monochromatic and HC that he paints his fur for extra flash, maybe?

RagingRiptide

Monochromatic will be easier to work with, but I do prefer his flashier design :3 it makes him stand out more. But I do get how the colors would clash with many different outfit choices!

QuietZen

Very nice! Does he have a winter coat? How much poofier does he get?

Acornheart

Really love the orange TBH but there’s options

Acornheart

1. summer/winter coat 2. Hair dye (to color or to monochrome to match outfits)

Scyllarus

Other commentors have already made a lot of super gorgeous suggestions (I definitely feel like Jupe dyes his fur/hair), but I wanna throw mine in as well: What about one of the lighter color morphs? Like a cinnamon cross? You'd get a monochrome palette in Jupiter (the planet) colors, which might make dressing Jupiter (the fox) easier.

Sparkle dog!!!!!!!

No prob! Summer is tagged as “Summer” even in posts prior to her name change. All characters are tagged by their current name.

lopoddity

Good question! Let’s find out

Azure-Art-Wave

About the hair dye idea, at first I kinda thought it would make sense for someone as flashy as Jupe to be "born" in black and white and choose to portray himself in bolder/brighter colors and dye his fur... But I actually realized that the idea of Jupe already being flashy and colorful naturally, then willingly choosing to dye his hair black to "go with everything" for fashion purposes sounds a lot fun as well xD he also could have some meaning behind it related to Bruce (since he's also black and white xD)

Robo87

Honestly? I love sparkle dog! I LIKE that he stands out and clashes with everyone and everything. His personality is bold and so is his appearance. I could actually see the darker colors being his natural colors and then he dyes his fur to purposely be a traffic cone. LOOK AT ME BASIC BITCHES YOURE WELCOME

Nette Marie

No lie...can this be made into an enamel pin

lopoddity

umm maybe! If enough people are interested then yeah, maybe I could make an entire batch of pins to purchase!

Nette Marie

I've been following you and your art for darn near a decade now I'd buy a pin of any of your characters.

gamigami

*barges into this conversation* in which case...would you consider making the sanrio edits that you made into pins and/or keychains...because i would LOVE to have a little fuzzbutt on my travels

knickknacks

a bit late to the party but I really do love sparkledog!jupe, hahah- the monochrome is fun for sure, but I find I'm rather fond of the orange-purple coloring! It's just so fun and funky, and I always think it's neat to see fox characters that play off some of the interesting color morphs that are out there! also- wow! Thank you for the backtagging, it's much appreciated ^^

Harmony

Sparkle dog all the way!

lopoddity

I was wondering why people keep telling me to desaturate the orange...then I realized that all throughout the design process I'd had my ipad screen dimmed. Wooow does Jupe look saturated when I turn up my brightness. Good note, I'll dim him down a bit

Imogen

I'm late af, i love the monochrome but i feel like you should go with the orange so it contrasts against Bruce when drawing them together :3

Richard

100% on the sparkle dog train

Paladin

I like the orange one better, but I think Jupe looks gorgeous in either option.

Haselwoelfchen

Thanks for tagging your older posts!

AsTheJayFlies

*raises hand* i also nominate fuzzbutts stickers, i just got a new water bottle thats blank and ripe for stickerin’

La Limule

I'm very very late but...why not both ? Summer sparkle dog and winter grey.
