This is my OC, Blue! I've been working on him since yesterday and been having a lot of fun with it. If you're interested in his design process it's on my twitter! https://twitter.com/altonblues

I haven't fully fleshed out his likes, dislikes, and all that wahzoo but it'll come as I do more art of him. So please look forward! Here's a little intro backstory though!


Blue is a shy and clumsy bear in his early 20s. His shyness comes from his uncommon fur color which brought a lot of unwanted attention growing up. Naturally, this meant Blue was made fun of quite often, so he didn't make many friends, didn't get a chance to develop good social skills, and of course, became self conscious of his fur. In elementary though, he had an unexpected experience that helped him overcome that self consciousness. A classmate approached him one day and gave him a blue bow tie and said "I think your fur is pretty cool! This bow tie will make you look extra cool! But you have to always wear it, promise? And you can't tell anyone I gave it to you! " At that time, Blue just remembers blushing and nodding before his classmate ran off. When people ask why he always wore it all he said was, "b-because it matches my name!" and end up getting laughed at but that didn't matter to him. It would always have a precious place in his life. He did have to get a new one as he grew though. Though they didn't become closer friends and the classmate ended up moving that school year, Blue always cherished that moment. And thinking back as a kid, he didn't realize that's what helped him get over having different fur.
