I posted a few pics to give examples of the multiple versions of a character I go through before settling on one.

The reason for this is a sort of weight just gave way. I won't name names and make things dramatic. But every time I've posted new PXE characters I get at least someone in the furry community here loudly declaring I copied their character.

I shall now share my salt before it crodes my metal and melts my laptop...

I sorta snapped at people when this happened over the version of phage I'm trying to make. those people were and are online friends of mine and I apologize for snapping. I thank them for the advice as I work on phage.

I am also going to call out a few people who throw a few accusations at me every time I post... for example just because you have a big titted red haired fox does not make it IVA and I did not steal your design because they are the same species with the same hair color.
Yours is a commando who does everything well, who gets pounded by rock hard cocks and everyone in the story loves and obeys her for some reason. whose only problem is escaping to live a "normal life"
Iva is the modified clone of an evil mad scientist dictator with a long background related characters and deep mental problems who relies on her friends for support as the weight of her morals and past both weigh down and has had sex, maybe twice, in all her depictions.

Also to someone else, having a sulky character whose only flaw is he's too awesome and he feels bad for it is NOT character... and while Vernon might be a badass bi horse with a pale gold fur, but your horse is not Vernon. Vern is somewhat OP, but he has some flaws a big one being his hubris and overconfidence. none of them are that he is "Too perfect" and feels bad for the "Little people who he kills all the time." Yes they are both from a post apocalyptic setting based on Gamma World, but a similar game origin and coat of paint do not make the same character.

lastly while I might not be the best at native american lore please do not send me angry messages claiming a native american character is corroding sacred values by being from a fantasy version of that culture. That messed me up for months and nearly killed the character as I second guessed myself. (it's why Lt Ryans as a ton more art.)

okay done being salty now.
Do not ask for names, I will not have my friends harassing these thereby people perpetuating their drama.

As to phage, the more I look at Rav's design the more I love it. I can't think of this character as anything other than a lynx in my head. But also I move farther and farther away from calling her phage.
maybe an apprentice from Conquering Storm's Egg Clan, a copy paste onto a blank body? somthing... I also might need another comic artist for the 2nd comic edition.
