Okay let's start with the simultaneously easiest and hardest to talk about: references, yay. >w<

So I had to redesign Nick a bit earlier this year, and the irony that you're just now seeing it isn't because it took me this long to draw... it's cause it took me this long to decide it had the staying power and I wasn't gonna change a million things again. XD Still, this got me off on a kick and I'm kinda doing all my oc's refs like this now.

I think this format is a little more livelier then I've done in the past, and I get to pose them a bit better and show off more details. Also, everybody's getting a dedicated feral form, myself no exception. >:3 Not too big of a redesign though, just some slight changes to the face to make em look a bit more humany, for better or worse. Clothes on the other hand? I feel like I just got you guys used to the shirtless me, and now I've gone and thrown a shirt back into the mix. Don't worry, I'll compromise and keep the Noel form bare chested. :P But if I'm gonna push Nick as a thief I want something that looks appropriate and feels closer to home, and this feels like something I would actually wear out or down the street. Yes, even the scarf. I totally didn't pick it just so I could do cool sly cooper ninja poses on rooftops. XP

Tried to keep the profile to a minimum and not be too wordy, but you know how some people's sonas are escapism, it's very different to how they are as a person? Yeah, I definitely can't do that with Nick if I haven't already, he's me too much, so I kept the info accurate. :3 Yes though, that does mean I've had to think about adding the other characters info too. You can probably work out some stuff about them from that. >:3
