HELP! Thoughts on redesigning fursona.
12 years ago
I've been thinking about redesigning Ezon for a little while now. I've been on the fence because of how unique he looks as he is right now. I'm welcoming input from everyone, and if you're an artist that makes adoptables and/ or a ton of characters, I'd love it if you can give me some advice. :3
Colors- I like his colors now, but I feel like he is missing some that would make him look even better. I was thinking about adding white to his face, neck and underbelly like most wolves, but I wasn't sure how well it would look in comparison to everything else. Instead of white, I thought about adding a darker color, but in order to make it look good, i think I should change the color of his pelt (perfectly fine with me. :3) to a darker shade.
Maw and flesh color- I like his blue maw, but something has to change on it because it can get somewhat boring. I've even been thinking about taking out the blue maw flesh altogether and replacing it with a normal colored red. At some points I feel that the blue maw is somewhat cliche nowadays.
Red inverted triangles- I'm pretty sure that they will be taken out, unless I decided to change the length of them so that they look a little like this picture down at the bottom: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4406271/ But, I think I might like it better if they were gone.
Eye color- If I end up darkening his fur, I may or may not change his eye color to the golden eye with black pupil or keep it the same.
One idea that I had in mind was to darken his fur color, darken his maw color, darken the red "X" on his back, take out the triangles under his eyes, and run a single, thick, red line (color match to the "X") which would be like a centerline going across his belly horizontally and it would continue to the end of his tail. Not sure if I want the centerline and the "X" to connect yet, but I think it would look interesting. I'm a little curious as to how a white color will look on something like this, or even a lighter shade of dark grey for his face, neck and underbelly.
Things that I definitely want to change / do-
Triangles (remove or reconstruct)
Fur color
Possibly eye color
Secondary color for his underside.
There's a couple things I'm looking to do. Find sketches or something that I could use to better visualize it for myself (hopefully it'll help me come to a decision faster) If you know of any that are full body and show most of the body, that would be perfect if you could send me a link AND / OR if anybody is willing to do so on a volunteer basis, draw Ezon on a scale somewhat close to what I was saying above, but you can have a little fun and experiment a little bit with the designs and colors mentioned above. I'm mostly looking for inspiration, but if I end up liking your design a lot, you'll probably have me asking to use it on him. Call it a contest if you'd like, but there's no guarantee that your design will be used in my final design of Ezon. There is however a guarantee of plenty of slobber licks, lots of feral hugs, and maybe a trip or two down to someone's belly.
Thanks for reading, Love you guys. :3
