Hey! So, last time, we landed on these candidates:

A knight crab, a space scavenger raccoon, and a courtier owl. I said I would iterate on all 3 of them. I decided to write down what exactly I'd like to change before jumping in. Here are those iterations!

THE CRAB

I dunno why I decided to randomly add a tail here, it just felt right.

THE RACCOON

AND FINALLY, THE OWL

I feel that we might be starting to cook here. Here's where we're at in this process:

[x] Pick 3 animals

[x] Do studies of those animals. Takes notes on any defining characteristics that could be included in an anthro version (1 hr)

[x] Do studies of anthro art (30 minutes)

[x] Create 3 anthro designs (1 per animal)

[x] Iterate on them each of them once

[ ] Pick the one I like most

[ ] Iterate on it 2 more times

[ ] Make a cool drawing of it, where I vary up the angle and pose a bit

The next step is to pick out the one I like most, and then I have to iterate on that design 2 more times. I think I'll iterate on the "career" outfit once more and then make a more casual outfit for them too, because I've always been super into the idea of fantastical characters wearing casual outfits.

Also, Mali McMew pointed out on the last post that we might be sleeping on some fem crab. I think we might indeed be sleeping on fem crab here. I'm gonna focus on the main steps of this project, but I'll see if I can cook up a fem crab sketch somewhere along the way.

Til the next post!!

Idk what’s going on but I support ya 100%

Brandon!

I'd love to see some fem crab!

All 3 of them look so good, it's hard to choose a favourite! I like the hat on the owl, and I think the new outfit on the racoon is definitely an improvement. The crab also looks all around better, it's cool to see how each of them are changing as you go.

I absolutely ADORE this crab guy you’ve got going on. Love them!!

I quite like crabbo's pauldrons actually. They're a good shape and size and the nautilus line thingies make a pleasing kinda visual symmetry going in opposite spirals. I'm late to notice but he would definitely benefit from a cape.

Owl

Still a raccoon lover

LowClassWarrior

I love how POOFY the raccoon tail looks, but I just KNOW it's filled with dust

Limi

I know the others aren't done as often and that's cool and all but I LOVE RACCOON SHEN'S SHT-EATING GRIN 😭🫶

Brandon!

I like the design of the crab a lot, but the owl just seems more like Shen in my opinion

Moxy Fruitbat

Imo, the owl needs a beak to really feel like an owl. But I think the crab is my favorite at this point. The raccoon is amazing, but he's giving Guardians of the Galaxy a little too much for my tastes.

Not loving the owl, but the racoon is feeling cool, though it might be a bit much in the character realm vs being your own fursona, at least to me. I know everybody is different in that regard. I will say, def interested to see a fem crab or fem others. I know for myself... well taking your fursona and feminizing them and seeing how that feels is 100% a thing...

Leooo

I think the crab design improved massivly. It's actually my fav now

Don't you dare to click away from the credits

For some reason I felt like each iteration was more of a downgrade? The Shen design is simplistic. A Shensona should keep that simplicity, imo. Super interested in seeing where this leads. Why stop with femme crab, qhen you could have femme racoon and owl, too? 👀

you're right, i need to stray away from him looking like rocket raccoon

Andrew Frisina

Snow owl is fashionable as fuck, but as someone who appreciates good knight attire and also large girthy tails I have to give it to Crabnite, he's the best here. Also as a total combat autist, unique weapons like the crab scissors (that look to also double as pliers, bolt cutters, chain cutters, etc. Crabnite further wins it.

The inner workings of the artist’s mind that I come here for

I think crab guy is the coolest but I like raccoon guy the best. owl guy is dope, you don't see many fursonas that aren't mammals or reptiles.

D'Artagnan Wayland

I still think the owl, though I do think more of a beak design looks better

Erica

I regret being busy, I love the moth as much as the raccoon.
