Note that Mello's finger and toe counts aren't the same as a human's. He also has to wear his comfy shorts, and note the color-change areas.

Aah, I finally have an updated reference sheet of my ferret self, and it's made by the extremely awesome Combat Raccoon! I wanted to have a more toony and accurate version that other artists could see for future commissions, so consider this the most up-to-date version of me!

On top of her drawing being extremely cute, the super artist also has an incredible layout for everything, even having text additions such as my personal interests, like me trying to be more of a creative writer and occasional blogger. My emotions here are especially varied, showing me as happy, sad, and... well, kind of anxious and nervous... but it fits me well, so that's cool! The colors and lining are really lovely too.

As for what's changed since my original reference sheet, it's mainly just me being less realistic, but I also wanted to make some parts of my anatomy more visibly apparent. I have thumbs on each of my hands, four fingers being on each hand in total, and each of my feet have four toes; note that it's not a typical count of five for each. I'm plantigrade and have a medium-sized tail; that last part can also go through shorts rather than on top of them. A major change is that where the coloring on my legs changes now matches my arms: The charcoal-like fur includes slightly above my knees, much like how that fur on my arms includes slightly above the elbow. Combat Raccoon added an explicit note for that last bit too, which I definitely appreciate.

Please only ever draw me with my comfy gym shorts, while still managing to show some brown fur somewhere. I like wearing pants!

Thanks a lot to the excellent artist for drawing me, and I highly encourage you to check out her other art too! She also takes commissions, so you should definitely commission her sometime. And did I mention that she's also extremely friendly to talk to? Please be sure to tell her how awesome she is! ^_^
