Myla Fox Ref Sheet 2018
Long overdue updated reference sheet for my personal mascot and fursona, Myla! (Finally got around to finishing it, yay!)

I'm really loving this rendition of her, you guys. ;u;
Little back story for ya (props if you bother reading any of this); Myla started out as an average (poorly designed and cringey) Sonic fan character back when I was still a wee little turd, and she looked a lot like Tails with larger ears and an edgelord color palette (yuck). For many years she served as a way for me to identify myself within the online communities I associated with, but over time she has evolved into much more. She is now my personal fursona, and largely takes after me. That said, I wanted to maintain links to her (and my own) personal roots and involvement in the Sonic fandom, which paved the way for my future as an artist. As such, she is still very much a Mobian, but with some unique twists centered around an AU created by myself and my partner Kenjifox . (Get ready for fandom trash!) Myla is what is known as a "Tameless Mobian", due to physical features and personality/behavioral quirks resulting from a genetic throwback to more animalistic traits. Some key identifying features of a "Tameless Mobian" are digitigrade legs and paws (if the species permits), and animal-like behaviors such as purring, barking, tail wagging, etc. In general, those whom are "Tameless" are considered "lesser" by society's standards, and are oftentimes treated poorly or unfairly. They are pretty rare, and although it is illegal, they are commonly sold and traded as slave workers, or kept as "pets." Despite their intelligence closely matching that of their "standard" Mobian counterparts, many see them as little more than "feral animals" or "beasts."
There's a loooot more story than this, which I would like to explore and share through other future projects, but for now, I'll leave it simple.
Thanks for taking a look, and if you survived that silly wall of text above, I also offer you a cookie. :3c
(You can disown me now.)

Thank you! ;u; And yuppers, I went ahead and added 'em in. Always loved jackals ever since I was little and obsessed with Egyptology, so I wanted to incorporate some of their back markings in a simplified way to my character. I think it turned out nicely! Glad you like it.
Honestly this whole AU was just me and Kenji musing over some interesting rainy day concepts that we were spitballing back and forth at the time. This was during a discussion typical of every Sonic fan where we lamented over the unsatisfactory quality of the current franchise and fanbase as a whole. The reality is that the canon content is notoriously one-dimensional, and whenever it tries to be anything but, it ends up falling short (or failing catastrophically). The comics are another story, however. Those try a lot harder!
Anyways, sorry to ramble! Here's your cookie, as promised: 🍪
Heck, take the whole stash. I doubt anyone else will read this anyways, lmao!

OH STAHP srsly sweety I'm still so very enamored with that surprise badge you made for me, you don't have to make me anything! I'm in love with everything you make and it's an absolute honor to have something like that from you! (You spoil me rotten, srsly lol)
Buuuut as for her colors, yes they are very much intentionally muted. They consist primarily of grayish blue-violets. I wanted her colors to appear a little more natural while also giving off faint impressions of violet. That said, I'm not picky, especially when receiving gift art! The artist is free to explore a bit! Especially in traditional art, when it can be difficult to achieve certain colors (or they may not be readily available!).
If it is of any help, her color scheme was based off of copic color swatches, though they look a bit more faded than what is provided directly on their website: https://www.copicmarker.com/pages/free-downloads
In my ref sheet, the top three most important colors would equivalently be matched by the following copic colors:
BV0000 (Pale Thistle)
V25 (Pale Blackberry)
V28 (Eggplant)
Hopefully that clears things up a bit! Thanks so much~ <333

Your backstory kind of reminds me of how I'd love to have Cross' backstory -- a feral who had human intelligence and then the ability to walk on hind legs (due to larger paws) and talk as he grew up. I haven't fleshed it out but I'd love to come up with everything one day
Myla is definitely a cutey and I love her body type, and of course, especially her paws

I should! Really when I'm in the mood or bored, lol. I don't think i'd make it public but that depends. I wanted to make Cross and Taji (My vixen OC) canonically 'dating'. It's more fun to brainstorm with other people
And aww! Sorry about that haha. I'm curious, though, I haven't seen it through your ToS, unless I missed it, but do you allow artwork interacting with any of your character(s)?
