Idle question: Megan and Fiachra
13 years ago
Something I've been kind of wondering about. Do you guys thing that Megan and Fiachra look too much alike? Even though one's a girl and one's a boy, has anyone every gotten them confused, say while looking at a thumbnail? I'm probably not going to change either of them, except in cosmetic ways like jewelry or clothing. They are cousins, after all, so they're meant to look like they're related. But it is something I've kind of wondered about. In a sort of one o'clock in the morning, nothing-better-to-do sort of way.

I don't think they look too much alike. They're both brownish colored bunnies with long dark hair but there are many differences between the two.

Thanks for answering. I've always tended to stick by the idea of making my characters unique by who they are, rather than trying to come up with some kind of super special design for each of them. But since the two could almost be twins, I was just curious to see what people thought.

Yeah, the larger thumbnails do make things a bit easier. But I'm not surprised you mixed 'em up once. I just didn't want it to be a frequent problem, since I didn't want you to think I was putting Megan in any of the sorts of situations that I frequently put Fiachra in. Besides which, I don't want them to look like they're just carbon copies of each other, in any case. So thanks for letting me know.

*Snuggles* Thanks, hon. I guess one reason I've been thinking of toning down Fiachra's romps is because I was worried that you might mistake him for Megan at some point, and I didn't want you to ever have to worry even for a second.

The very first time I saw Fiachra, I was kind of mixed up because at that time I didn't know you had a male rabbit character. But I've never had trouble telling him and Megan apart. I think there's plenty of difference for cousins.

Yeah, if I remember right I surprised a few people with him. I'm still kind of surprised at how popular he's become since! But it's good to know that he and Megan are different enough to be distinct. I guess I just didn't want them to be so similar to each other that it would make them dull.

Hah! I don't think you'd ever make them dull!

I hope not! Even if those two do seem to be showing up in most of my commissions lately. Just wait'll I start getting them drawn together!
