The Snow Multiverse Project
a year ago
Two years ago I launched an art project I called the "The Bare Bear Project" https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10313179. It has been a very surprising and fun experience for me (and hopefully the artists as well). While that project has not officially closed I feel it’s time to launch a new one: The Snow Multiverse Project.
Having a single fursona has always felt like the right thing for me. Snow is a fusion of his two predecessor fursona’s (Kodiak the Grizzly and Nanuk the Polar Bear) that I used on UseNet in the early 1990’s.
Bears have always been the animal that resonated strongest with me and are the best fit for my fursona. But that doesn’t mean I have never asked the question - what if Snow hadn’t been a bear?
It’s time to answer this question with my next art project: The Snow Multiverse.
Like The Bare Bear Project this will be highly artistic freedom, but with a few guidelines added. I want to allow creative freedom while having the end result have some resemblance to the original Snow.
Below is a list of species I had considered for my fursona. Artists can choose from this list but are NOT restricted to it - they are free to choose a species that isn't listed.
• Otter
Natural and mythical species are allowed, but please respect the rules for regulated and closed species (personally I don't like the idea of a species being closed, but I will respect their creators wishes).
Want to do an object creature but aren't sure it fits the project? Feel free to ask me about it.
Important: once a form has been claimed it is no longer an option for future artists.
Claimed (not available):
• Skunk
• Red Panda
• Possum
• Dragon
• Badger
• Mouse
• Squirrel
• Tree Kangaroo
• Civet
• Kangaroo
• Hedgehog
• House Cat
• Lion
• Deer
• Ferret
Guidelines:
Primarily use Snow’s fur pattern or the colors from the ref sheet. Additional colors may be added as compliments but shouldn’t distract from them being recognizable as a variant of Snow. However, keep eye color the same as my ref, this will be a point of consistency across the project.
Please keep the body shape similar to my ref with appropriate changes for the new species. For example as a bear Snow is short and a bit chubby for his species, but not to obese proportions. Anthro forms preferred, but I may approve feral forms if artists suggest them.
Cub or Adult form is artists choice
I imagine this project being primarily SFW. However Adult forms may be NSFW (this is artists choice).
Some aspects of Snow’s personality should come through in the new form. However, with approval you can suggest alternate personalities (ex: a dominant or evil Snow).
If you are interested in participating reply below and I will consider you when choosing future artists.

In that case! Are you still looking for an otter? Or maybe a bunny?
I'd absolutely be willing to draw that, if hasn't already been claimed!
