[F5 for lighter spots/dark grey markings]
A much needed updated reference sheet for my fursona and main derp, Enigma. He is stupid and not very tall, so it's only fitting he is 'me'!
Ps just a reminder the bad white eye is not there for the sake of fancy heterochromia, my eyesight is legit terrible for real in that eye.
Already pretty much done with the foreshadowed Dragonigma ref. It seems so Mary Sue-y but anyone who knows that backstory will know just how tongue in cheek the whole thing is.

I still can't decide between bold crimsony reds or deep juicy looking blues as my absolute favourite colour - and you can't deny that both are a treat to look at - but I think with Enigma and his oversized azure booper and tongue I may be a little biased in leaning towards blue ;)
Thanks! Fursonas are what we use to portray ourselves and in my eyes they should share as many traits and flaws as ourselves so they really do become personal. Obviously I'm not bashing on others, people can do what they want, but if a character that's meant to be 'you' is something you can't relate to then what's even the point?!
It's hard to put exactly into words but I hope that at least made some sense :D

In before anyone else notices the Sega font there! Sadly I've no experience with any Sega console but even so, it's a nice nod to something you enjoy!
Your ref sheet designs always work for me. I've said it before, that balancing a good-looking ref sheet with the information it needs can be tricky but you've kept all the information concise, relevent and backed it up with two really well drawn poses and one very handsome headshot! It's good to see how you've not shaded the two full body poses since, of course, for digital artists, they want just the colour, but naturally, I'm drawn to the very fine, precise detailing on the headshot. The highlight on Enigma's hair, I mean, brush size one-over-infinity? XD You do detail extraordinarily well and I love it.
I love the splatty paint theme; it does remind me not just of, well, paint, but also that endless drool. The layout is actually quite clever. It reminds me of the trick of writing reports that all the writing should be written on the right because instinctively, that's where the reader looks. In doing that, you've drawn attention to Enigma's information, providing everyone with an introduction to the character, personalities and things, details which take time to learn. Having the poses on the left, I dare say people will spend less time looking at it because a picture speaks a thousand words, right?
Very impressed as ever, buddy, especially with how distracted (for want of a better word) you've been lately. It's great to see you keep on trucking with your art. Keep at it. ^^

FUN FACT! All of the blue parts on this dumb hyena are a nod to Sega as well, obviously because blue is a damn good colour too but yeah, I figured it'd be a good subtle homage. When we meet again and if we have time I'll make it my duty for you to experience some classic Sega fun, amazing company with some awesome consoles/games - the fact I still play the Megadrive after owning it for over 20 years is a testament to that!
But enough of my fanboying! Thanks once again for providing a deep insightful comment, always a welcome breath of fresh air.
As for shading I think that's pretty much a no-no on ref sheets as it can be misinterpreted as darker markings or something - all you need to know are their base colours really. Of course it's all personal preference. I did catch myself almost shading his nose on the front facing one, it's just second nature! Besides with ir being so big and blue can you blame me? That's why I make up for it by shading the headshot on these refs.
I do struggle with keeping the text to a minimum of these since I have so much to say about my characters but I think I'm getting better at choosing what needs to be known about them when someone has a quick glance, the rest can be conveyed by the character themself or in the pic description. The splats were all hand drawn and I'm personilsing each character's ref background to make it more 'themed' to them. More work for myself as always but I think it's worth it :D

I think slightly toned is the perfect body type for him! Obviously he's based on myself so I myself have actually filled out a bit, I'm in no way anywhere near even slightly resembling anything chubby but I'm not as thin as I used to be so I wanted to reflect that in Mr DerpButt!
He's not smug very often but you can definitely count on drooly expressions by the bucketload ;) Thanks by the way!
