I am looking for help to create looks for OC Sara Aurora as well as finishing her personality profile.
Sara is a hybrid between a bat and a wolf, she looks mostly like a wolf but has two distinct features showing her being a hybrid, her ears are mixture of wolf and bat ears as well as she has bat wings on her back.

I do not have any good references or even thoughts on her fur patterns, all I can think of is her having at the very least two fur colours, one darker colour and one lighter colour, no exact colours in mind yet.
I am also lacking her eye and hair colours as well.
Basically her general looks, fur patterns, colours, eye colour, hair colour are something is need help with going through ideas exchanging reference pictures etc.

What I got on her personality wise is better but it still needs ironing out the details to solid character file.
She comes from a tropical islands that has tribal like society there but they do have good knowledge of the world as a whole. She used to be adventurous during her time on her home islands and occasionally neglect work and go exploring the island, she is used to wearing very little mostly because of the not climate of the islands.

After she goes to a big city to study she gets kidnapped and this changes her personality to be timid because of what she goes through whole her kidnappers try to from her to do some very unpleasant things against her will. Before anything worse can happen however she is rescued.
The damage however is already done and it takes her time to heal from her experience obviously and she will never be fully her old self. However certain personal behaviours is need but of help with as this is my very first furry/anthro character I've created (not counting my draft ideas as parts of then were used to create Sara), so I need bit of help with that as well.
Basically: movements, reactions etc in certain situations.

Finally would need detailed description list of all the things discussed above so I can add them to the character file.

If you have any suggestions, ideas, please come and chat with me. Thanks.

I have found a co-author fur the story idea I've had for years by this point.

The co-author is going being there own ideas to the story and these ideas have helped me further ideas I've had for the story.

Basics of the story that I'm willing to divulge for not are here:
The world's was divided into several layers, deeper you are in the shadows the more you know about the other, humans know least of the world, minus free exceptions.
Anthros know little bit more but they are far from knowing everything the world hides.

Before the start of the story humans were thought to be extinct for around past 250 years until two show up in a city inhabited by anthros.

A international agency is set up to study humans, help the two survivors as best as they can, this international agency has both government level people as well as university study groups interested studying humans and what they were like.
They later find a large facility beneath a city that used to be the capital of human Kingdom of Slovanya (my own creation).

The facility is very large and the initial groups studying the place cannot cover all of it as it is like a city. In the facility they however make a discovery, the Queen of Slovanya and some of her human subjects.
A decision is made to wake the Queen and some of her people from cryosleep they are in. As the Queen is woken up the facility systems send a signal to other part of the facility walking up more humans but these people soon vanish from the facility like they were never there.

Some main characters and organizations from my side are:
Alexei "Grim Reaper" Strelnikov, human male in his mid to late 20s, Russian national, Marshal of Shadow organisation known as 'The Legacy' but more importantly leader of army sized unit called 'The Four', his personal unit.

Queen Perdita Marigot, human female around 20s, ruler of Kingdom of Slovanya, she is very kind hearted and beloved by her people and protected by Alexei and his unit.

Sara Aurora, anthro female, bat and wolf hybrid. She comes from a tropical islands but moves to a big city to study with one of her friends from their home islands. no looks for her yet so if you have suggestions, inspiration images you have please let me know, all suggestions welcome

Luna, orphaned young girl with mostly human looks but with fox ears and tail.
Not much is known of her species even by 'The Four'. She is discovered in a city completely abandoned, at first glance at least, she sleeps in small cardboard box on the street with her bit odd looking plush animal (name bending, suggestions welcome). Alexei closes in on her as Grim Reaper, the girl at first scared but once she sees Alexei take off his gas mask Luna calms down enough for Alexei able to talk with her. Luna later keeps clinging to Alexei and Alexei starts to look after her adopting her. I have looks for her

I got to go for now, I'll be giving more updates later. For more good hunting.

This time not really looking a colab author but we'll see where things go, I'll try to keep an open mind for this story.
The story would be including humans and anthros. The story would start off by a lone young man coming ashore a very remote island group in tropical zone of the planet, most likely alternative Earth and not one of our own so at least with this I would require some help with some countries however some countries are going to be from our world mostly because of five of my main characters in the story.

At least these countries are in the story:
Real ones: Russia, China, UK, Ireland, Cuba, USA.
Fictional ones: Kingdom of Slovanya (My own creation)

I already have completed the first chapter for the said story but would like to get someone to read it before I publish it and look it over, give some constructive criticism and ideas about the chapter and story itself.

I am actually working on the story as I go so I really do not have much planned for how the story will turn out to be where it goes, for now I will just go what comes to mind. I only got few minor details ready such as:

Characters: Alexei Strelnikov(M), Wei Gudao(M), Morgana Nic Dhòmnaill(F), Badb Ardal(F), Patacatl Flaco(M), these five would be the characters I was talking about earlier, there would also be at least some encounters with another creation of mine and that would be my own creation as well Queen Perdita Marigot the ruler of Kingdom of Slovanya.
Anthro characters are also my own creation however I am still debating their looks and would require help with them, these characters are Danika Finetail a anthro wolf and Kiza Boldpaw a anthro otter.

Also as for Kingdom of Slovanya it would be one of the oldest nations in the Human world and would have its origins long into the past, oh right probably good to mention that humans and anthros used to live together before their worlds were divided long ago by a conflict and when peace was achieved it was agreed to divide the world and while Anthros kept up the stories about humans, the humans themselves mostly forgot about Anthros after several generations, there however were some families from human world that kept up the knowledge of anthros for the time when it was time to reunite the two species once again, naturally same information was kept with anthros as well. From here we get to Slovanya, Slovanya would be one of the countries that was already in existence when the dividing of these two worlds happened.

I am myself not that familiar with anthros so help on that side would be greatly appreciated, coming up with their own traditions and that kind of things, their beliefs etc,
Only thng I've thought for anthros in this story is that humans used to call anthros as both anthros and beastfolk but anthros saw the term "Beastfolk" as a insulting term.
Also note worthy mention is that my first language isn't English so grammar help is also appreciated.

Thank you for your time for reading this and if you are interested of helping me with this story feel free to comment of hit me on private.

For now have a wonderful week and Good Hunting to you all.

I haven't been here for a very long time, I have some catching up to do with the people I've watched. Been very busy for a long time now and only recently gotten bit more time freed.
Still need to upload rest of the photos that I took long time ago but I'll see when I have the energy to do it. I am still trying to work on a story with both humans and anthros living in same world as well as working on several Fan Fiction stories, several colab stories and helping out with a fellow Fan Fic authors story.

Took quite a long time to fix problem with uploading photos here and it wasn't easy. I am still in progress of uploading photos of my rare short furred mini alligator who I've named as Snoppy. I got help to the name from a good friend of mine as I suck at coming up with names.
Anyways for now I continue writing a story where Snoppy will be making an appearances and listening to music.
If you have some inspirational music you want to suggest feel free to do so, currently looking for something that would fit for these: Warfare, love, romance, friendship, winter, autumn, mystery.
Something that inspires those writings. (Yeah my English ain't that good XD )
Hmm possibly also some waltz music. I have a character in the story who is great dancing waltz however he hates dancing but usually gets dragged on the dance floor.

Tried to upload these photos here on FA but no amount of editing and other stuff helped. I tried tons of stuff but seems like I have no idea how FA submitting thing works all it showed was empty files so I uploaded the photos I intended to upload here I uploaded them on Deviant Art to my profile. If you are interested here's a link to photos of little cute guy named Snoppy playing around, oh and he is a rare short furred mini alligator.

Today I have been at Turku Book Fair, I was there also yesterday. Listening to professional authors is so much fun even though I am only an amateur author.
So many new ideas how to write so many helpful advice and of course having to met two of my favorite authors, well at least of those who are still around and breathing (Rest in peace Strugatsky brothers keep on writing where ever you guys are now)
Magdalena Hai a Finnish author signed for me three of her books, Gigi and Henry trilogy (Unfortunately they are for now only in Finnish, I did hint that some of my friends would love to read them but don't know the language hence English translation would be awesome)

I also got to meet a personal friend for few years now and at the same time a fellow S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Ilkka Auer, he is Finnish fantasy and now also horror author and he gave me as a gift one of his fantasy books and I also bought his newest creation Anastasia which is very interesting book and his first horror book.
Anastasia is based to area here in Finland to area called Kirkkonummi and more specifically to the area of Porkkala which the Soviet Union rented from Finland after the 2nd World War as a military base, strange things are happening there and three friends set out to find out what is going on, mysterious deaths and so on keep happening.
I am still reading this book but so far I am loving it more and more the more I read it.

Oh right Ilkka autographed his Anastasia book and also one of his books from his Fantasy series of Land of Snow and Ice and this book came with very personalized autograph, thanks Ilkka.

Tomorrow will be unfortunately last day of the book fair here in Turku but doesn't matter lots of fun there and amazing atmosphere so many interesting books.

Well for now this book lover/worm/hawk/lunatic author signs off and continues to read the book Anastasia.

PS: I also got one free book from the fair today. Can't wait to get started on it after Ilkka's Anastasia and Land of Snow and Ice book (Specific name can't remember right now as it is in bookshelf already waiting in "to be read" section.)

Currently working on a story that I hope to mix bit of adventure, action, romance and war at least.
I am hoping to find some inspiration for this type of a story from other stories, arts and music also. It would be also nice to get one more person to help out with the writing, if possible someone who would be able to write fluently female characters, I am not at all good at this myself.
I am already planning the story and world with fallout19980 and we both agreed one more writer would be nice to get to the co-authors group.

Things still under construction: World building, characters (names, personality, looks), story name, events, factions/groups. So if you are interested or know someone who would be interested or have ideas for any of these things listed above please let us know.

Oh right and the story would be based on alternative version of Earth with new nations, some modeled after real earth countries with some changes to them.
This version of Earth would also have both Anthro and Human living in it.
