Tussle
Conscious plasma gas space entity, playing at being corporeal. Wears various real(istic) bodies, changes by unzipping down the front and taking that costume off (and stuffing it into the next costume's zip).
Doesn't bother with clothes because she's 'already wearing something'. Doesn't bother with physics - 25' dragon can fit inside a pine marten - because it's funny. Always has glowing green eyes, whatever her form. Mustelid, fantasy, and smaller forms tend to be less anthro; feline types intermediate; canines and larger forms more anthro.
She's usually fairly flirty because she's found folks generally open up more easily that way, and will try almost anything so long as it doesn't involve getting up close and personal with superconducting electromagnets. She's good at dancing and other things that involve copying what she's seen, but she's reluctant to innovate because she's still learning what's acceptable.

I want a happy and relaxed artist who's somewhat enthused in what I'm asking for, who'll warn me if there are likely to be difficulties with the details I stress up front as key aspects of the commission, while delivering within the PayPal period if paid in advance and keeping in touch enough so I know they've not fallen off the face of the earth. In return, I won't pester or change things already complete (without compensation), will respond quickly to questions, and I'll have the money ready if I'm paying in arrears. Anything extraordinary on either side, we let each other know as soon as reasonably possible.
Key aspects for me are typically things like being familiar enough with the species to make them look characteristic: stylised interpretations are fine, but a hyena isn't just a funny-looking dog or cat.
A few of her descriptions:
You know how generic otters look? With the sleek streamlined brown fur slicked so close they may as well just be clad in stretch velvet, and with cream fur spattered over their front. Their lean muscular bodies, thick necks, comically short legs and heavy tails? This otter is 5'10 and looks just like that.
Except... right now, her lush pelt and whiskers are gone, and she's seemingly formed of liquid mercury! The hints that she's a 'she' are fairly subtle: marginally wider hips, a daintier muzzle than a male, and her scent. While she doesn't have any bust to speak of, she does have an easy smile.
You know how generic pine martens look? As if someone stuffed a cat and a fox into a blender then tried to make a weasel with the result? Slinky things that chase squirrels around in trees, with the fluffy tail, double-jointed ankles, ginger brown all over but for the yellow patch at the throat? This one is 5'2 and looks just like that.
Except... that fur seems to be made from gleaming metal - golds and bronzes conveying the same markings. The hints that she's a 'she' are fairly subtle: marginally wider hips, a daintier muzzle than a male, and her scent. While she doesn't have any bust to speak of, she does have an easy smile.
You know how generic eurasian badgers look? Stocky bearish mustelids, long white head with black stripes from nose to nape, each obscuring one eye and white-tufted ear, black jaw, throat, chest, and legs, white belly, and pepper-grey back? With the short tail behind? This one is 5'10 and looks just like that.
Except... right now, her pelt and whiskers are gone, and she's seemingly formed of polished latex - white stripes as normal but black from the neck down!
The hints that she's a 'she' are fairly subtle: marginally wider hips, a daintier muzzle than a male, and her scent. While she doesn't have any bust to speak of, she does have an easy smile.
A shifter, the closest thing Tussle has to a consistent distinguishing feature is the way those eyes glow eerie green, and have no pupils.
The silhouette is distinctly honey badger - the tubular head, small ears hiding to the sides, blunt muzzle, muscular body displaying her sleek musteline nature, tail barely reaching the ankles - but even honey badgers are rarely composed of glossy liquid honey. While it's there, the signature white dorsal slosh is instead picked out in a paler hue.
Less subtle are the indications of gender: the flow of mirror smoothness gliding easily over her modestly sized bust and down her belly to the curves between her haunches, which together with her tail conspire to conceal the details of her feral nature from view.
You know how generic jaguartaurs are? A comfortable abundance of muscular limousine feline, with deep reverberating purr, extravagant whiskers, plush tawny fur, expressive tail, pale countershading, an enviable all-terrain drive, and a tasteful sprinkling of rosette-spots? Paws that look velvety soft, but with huge sharp claws hiding in there if they're needed?
This one is 7' to the ears, 7' to the rump, and looks just like that.
She has a sensual take on the whole 'big cat' schtick, curves giving even her quadruped parts a noticeably feminine air, but they're more obvious on her humanoid half, granting her small breasts, tastefully clad in creamy fur.
The only thing this 8' beast seems to have in common with red foxes is the colouration: although it stands on its hind legs fairly often, it obviously went in search of the muscle fairy while she was handing them out, and mugged her.
The black triangular ears are there, though with a sweep of grey running through them, grey which continues like a soft dusting of snow over the shoulders and down towards the white-tipped brush. There's also silvering over the black forearms, and some in the otherwise black socks from knees down - seems to indicate someone approaching retirement and the fruits of a generous pension plan - but you probably shouldn't discuss that openly unless you're also built like the Hulk, yourself.
Those bulging thighs are clearly designed to support the triangular upper-body, but they do a good job of framing that suggestive but aggressively furred bulge.
Her eyes are a wild, glowing green, and her muzzle seems to contain far too many teeth, as if she couldn't decide at the tooth shop's bargain bucket and decided just to cram them all in for a chaotically jaunty snaggled look.
Best stay on her good side - which is basically behind her, where she can't see you.
You know how generic spotted hyenas are? The lean, muscular build, blunt muzzle dipped in chocolate below, yellow and spots above, bristly mane like a body-length mohican from ears to tailbase, low set waist, short legs, and frankly straggly tail? This one is 6'2 and looks just like that.
You can tell she's a 'she' because... actually, you can't. She looks every bit as male as any other spotted hyena, although a bit more muscular. She calls herself a female, and that's about as accurate as you'll get.
You know how generic crocodiles look? With the jigsaw puzzle hide, roughly
square scales jammed together over a long muscular body; olive brown along
the top of the snout and head, and all the way down the knobbly back and
heavy tail; pale buttermilk scales all over the front, short arms and legs,
the cold predatory eyes... none of which does anything to distract from the
confusion of fanginess protruding from lower and upper jaw alike? This one is
15' long from nose to tailtip, 8' when upright, and looks just like that.
You can tell she's a 'she' because she has nice long eyelashes, an unlikely
but lavish head of brown hair, and has taken the time to give her scales a
beautiful polish. She's also found a nice pair of nipple-free scaly boobs and
a short denim skirt, which her tail holds up at the back, making it clear
that she neither wears underwear, nor particularly needs to.
You know how reindeer look? The lean yet powerful bodies, dull brown along
the back, fading to grey along the sides, with a dark tide mark immediately
before a pale front? Faces and build almost cow-like, but for the signature
rack of horns branching between the ears, slenderer legs, wide snow-shoe
hoofs, and stubby scut of a tail? This one is 6' to the ears, over 8' to the
tips of the horns, and looks just like that.
You can tell she's a 'she' because she's a little curvier than a guy would be,
and has a subtle bust on her chest. Any more details are usually hidden by how
she sits.
You know how generic golden dragons are? Sleek but muscular quadrupeds with
the long, sinuous neck, heavy tail curving behind; head a cross between
reptilian and equine, wings like an overgrown bat's, and claws decidedly from
the dinosaurian side of things? This one is seven feet to the shoulder,
twenty four nose to tailtip, and gleams like living metal.
You can tell she's a 'she' because of her lovely eyelashes and the way that
her build is subtler than a male's, slight emphasis at her chest, and if you're subtle
about it, by the smooth sweep from the underside of her tail to her belly.
The average frog has a pear-shaped body with a stubby snout, large bulbous
eyes, no neck to speak of, short arms, long slender fingers, and impressive
thighs leading to long legs designed for jumping and large webbed feet for
swimming. This frog looks much like that, in classic gleaming waxy green with
bright yellow underparts, eyelids, lips, and fingers, but is a good yard and
a half in length.
It's pretty hard to tell the sex of a frog - there's very little dimorphism,
and certainly nothing external as with mammalian males or females. If she says
she's female, then you're really just going to have to take her word for it.
You know how generic anthro jaguars look? More heavyset than most of the big
cats, but resplendent in their tawny fur, darker dorsally, paler ventrally,
muscles sliding with casual ease under that hide, making the dark markings
shift in lazy protest? This cat is around six foot tall and looks much like
that, sporting a casually insoucient air.
Past the first glance, you may well notice that the spots are not only
outlined in metallic gold, but are in fact futhark runes - albeit rendered in
a deceptively Hebraic style.
You can tell she's a 'she' because she comes with the requisite eyelashes and
a useful number of clarifying curves, but her chest is very subtle so you'll
need to rely on the breadth of her hips.
You know how generic anthro jackals look? Small, lightly built fox-like
canids with long pointed muzzles, brush-tails, and pointed ears? Relatively
long legs with dainty paws? This one is 5'5 and looks like that.
You can tell it's a side-striped jackal because of the pale tip to the tail,
but the normal silvered grey back and tan underparts have been wholly
recoloured in the red, white, and blue crosses of of St George, St Andrew,
and St Patrick. Strident metallic chrome centred on chest, back, and nethers,
diagonals wrapping at shoulders and waist but stopping at chin and nape,
leaving most of the figure in blue: a union jackal.
With a nice set of eyelashes and characteristically wide hips, it's easy to
identify her as female, even with no bust to speak of. She has a ready smile
and a university English accent, with elements of maybe Burnley.
You know what sea-horses look like? Small fish who decided at some time in
the past to swim vertically with their tails all curled up - long, with what
looks like a pot belly and a face half way between a dragon and a horse?
Well someone clearly got rather confused while researching because although
this one has shimmering orange scales with a freckling of white dots all
over, and the characteristic soft spikes and ridges mimicking large white-
bordered scales, it's also 7' tall and has unmistakably terrestrial equine
features mixed in.
It's not immediately obvious that she's female because it's the male who
gestates the eggs, so she has no sort of bust at all, and her lean muscular
build makes her look like a seasoned male, but she's distinctly female at the
juncture of her thighs, and - it must be said - distinctly equine.
You know how anthro skunks look: the beautiful glossy black fur, the white
stripes travelling from the bridge of the muzzle and over the wedge-shaped
head, all the way to the fluffy ankle-length tail behind? This one is 5'5 and
looks just like that.
The hints that she's a 'she' are fairly subtle: marginally wider hips, a
daintier muzzle than a male, and her scent. While she doesn't have any bust
to speak of, she does have an easy smile.
A shifter, the closest thing Tussle has to a consistent distinguishing
feature is the way those eyes glow eerie green, and have no pupils.
Conscious plasma gas space entity, playing at being corporeal. Wears various real(istic) bodies, changes by unzipping down the front and taking that costume off (and stuffing it into the next costume's zip).

Always has glowing green eyes, whatever her form. Mustelid, fantasy, and smaller forms tend to be less anthro; feline types intermediate; canines and larger forms more anthro.
She's usually fairly flirty because she's found folks generally open up more easily that way, and will try almost anything so long as it doesn't involve getting up close and personal with superconducting electromagnets. She's good at dancing and other things that involve copying what she's seen, but she's reluctant to innovate because she's still learning what's acceptable.
