Alex Grey's Preference-O-Meter
fatfur ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ inflat
It's Saturday the first of August and we're coming to you live from the BBC Television Centre in London, England for the unveiling of the fourth edition of the Generic Redesign of Everything that is You machine, better known as Alexander Amadeus Grey to the loving masses. We have a large crowd here tonight, as it's just mere minutes until the new Grey shall appear...
Well okay, after the holiday, computer failure and general crappy drawingness, Grey 4G isn't actually ready. Bet ya didn't think you'd hear THAT after two months of going on about it!
If you didn't get the memo, I decided to stay being a bat (dragons suck) and am only changing some aspects of the character that I think could be improved. Some of you may be pleasantly surprised - conversely, you may not.
* Longer tongue, reaching up to a foot in length ('cause bats are like that);
* A vaguely altered colour scheme and belly colour;
* More belly to have the colour;
* Relocation of wings to the back of the arms, they no longer stretch down and join with the side of the body;
* Taller, but not by much;
* And the pomme de terre of the reformation, the replacement of the stubby little batty tail with that of a fox.
Just maybe someone went "HOLY MACARONI CHEESE" on that last one, or just did after reading this. Yes, I'm doing away with that stubby little tail of a thing that has graced my rear-end for the last 13 months.
You see, the stubby little tail that all bats have was - out of everything - the one thing I didn't much like about batkind was the tail. In the spirit of things I decided to keep it for the third incarnation, but now I've decided to do away with it and get some tail action going!
But why a fox? Well, aside from fruit bats being called flying foxes, it also provides some link back to the folfy times of the second generation; and is further helped by the one furry accessory I actually have being a grey fox tail. It's a win-win situation!
So yes, hi :3

These people, are just poems
They're 90% metaphor
With a leanness of meaning approaching hyper-distillation

Jah... But then again......... I feel the fandom needs balance. Majorly. I remember when ferrets were pretty minor. Now there's *lots* of them. Seems otters, skunks, and roos are the only ones in like, the mid group. Thylacine is slowly catching up too. But for the most part, you see mostly wolves, foxes, dragons, a mix of those, an' maybe tigers. =C

Wolves, foxes, dragons, cats and lions were the most common species on a survey done a couple of years back. Tigers came sixth, bats didn't even make the top 30 :P
