          I like their design a lot!! im always a fan of designs with mainly natural colors, so maybe im a little biased haha. i don’t really have any complaints? the only thing i mildly dislike about their design is the incorporation of black? I think it’s too overly contrasting and kind of sticks out too much if you get me? other than that, i like them! overall 8.5/10

          my character, andrea?

      8/10 ;; I like his design a lot. It's natural and simple but the pattern of the spots is unique enough to he interesting. However, I do think he's little bland in the sense that he's not wearing any accessories or anything. Even something simple like a collar, or depending on your taste or the universe hes in a leather jacket would be cool!

9/10 -- Normally I'm not into more muted/natural palettes, but I absolutely love how her design flows. I love the way her fur flows, most often you see a lot of feral characters with really smooth and fluffy cute fur, I love that hers is almost scraggly (I mean that in the literal best way possible.). It gives her a lot of character and helps her be really memorable, despite the quiet tones she has going on. I will say, I LOVE the little splash of darker colors on her back, the pattern is really pleasant and goes so well with the rest of her. The only thing I could even possibly say about this character is that I wish her eyes maybe stood out a bit more? But that's a personal thing, all in all, I really like this character and I wish I knew more about her

How about Aash (Aashkeelay)? I really really want to revamp her, so advice on how to improve her/what to change would be great! Maybe black hair and changing her outfit black? Maybe making her wings black with constellations and stars faintly throughout? Maybe turning her spear into a sword? Idk help rip
Character and art by myself.
Image
Her page is here, though, I'm still developing her info.
Her sister is Fahmwalay, who is a seer, but Aash is a beast tamer of sorts (who also maintains a semi beast form herself). She collects magical creatures and artifacts, in order to preserve magic and continue generations of magic. She has bred magical creatures away from extinction and has even brought a few back from extinction. She specializes in giant steeds (Such as the giant raven companion she bred for Fah), rare/extinct creatures, and dragons. Her sister is her everything, she gave her life up for her, not only once, but twice. She gave up her mortal being to save her sister (explained on her page), the two are extremely close and Aash will never leave her alone too long.
She enjoys a challenge, loves it when one of her new beasts/steeds/creatures give her some spunk/guff, it just feels more rewarding to her when she earns their trust and loyalties. She is extremely claustrophobic though, and often sleeps outside as Fahmwalay's belongings are slowly creeping into her room, taking up too much space. She enjoys this though, as she, like her sister, has an overwhelming fondness for the stars. Her only fears are drowning, and losing her sister.
Each of the crystals contained hovering in her spears magic, is a portal/key to the planes that she keeps her magical creatures/beasts in. The bigger the planes, the stronger the magic, and the greater number of creatures, the bigger the crystals. Once the crystals have reached "maturity" that means that the creatures can be released back into the world, safe for a breedable number to flourish. The same crystals are also kept on her outfit/with her at all times, as these creatures are too dangerous to be released again, or too rare/almost extinct. They require more attention, more protection.
Gold is very important to the sisters, as in their ancient tribe, it is seen as a sign of power, royalty, and grace. It is given to those who have earned them.

9.5 / 10

ok i love him, and the fact that he like doesn't go Out Of His Way to save someone after already trying really fits his looks!!
im biased on his design because i have like 3 ocs that wear cassocks but. im hella into it! im just saying he gets clout from me
honestly the only thing im not really into is just the colour of his pants, maybe if they matched the lighter undereye markings he has or vice versa!!!
his horns also really blend in with his hair so it took me like 5 minutes to realise he even had them (unless theyre not even horns and im dumby) but adding some kinda white gradient on them would look lowkey kinda slick...


what about ian?
Image
theyre mischievous and love being surrounded by people so. they get clingy.
theyre also intrigued by halloween since they don't really understand what people are celebrating and tend to watch trick or treaters on halloween if they don't have anyone that wants to go with them (and because they just love dressing up)
theyre also like sorta an experiment i guess though i might. Change That. but the old lore was that when they were a kid, they got in a car accident and basically died but some shady lab that was trying to mix humans with animals ended up getting their body and reviving them! they lost most of their memories, but not a lot changed once they got used to being part cat
i lowkey kinda just abandonded them but i still love them so im tryna! revive them x2

overall I’d say they’re a 9/10! c:
First of all, I really like the concept. Trickster-types are always really fun. I like how the transition into the arm fur is sudden and looks sort of stitched rather than being a gradient, it ties into their backstory really well. (I know it’s something you’re considering changing, but I’m personally a huge sucker for ex-science project characters, and even more a sucker for borderline necromancy... nekomancy, in this case...? anyway it’s very good.) I think the only thing sort of throwing me off is the difference between the color of their undercut/ears and the color of their arms/legs. I’m not sure if the ears are plush/part of a headband or not but the difference in color there just makes the whole design look a little less cohesive to me. I can’t really put my finger on what exactly, but something about their hand markings seems a little off to me too. But that’s just me, of course, aha.
In any case I love this mischievous cat friend and I hope they get a lot of candy on Halloween even if they don’t know what it’s for!

{art and character design/concept by me}
how about Eshii? She’s very loud and go-get-em, but not really the sharpest tool in the shed. Any wisdom she has is by accident usually. She’s the adopted (adoptive? idk what word works best there) older sister to Ace and Ginn, neither of which get along with one another, so she’s learned to be a pretty good peacemaker.
She grew up on a planet where her family basically ran the place because they took over by force a few hundred years ago, using their mutation (which allows them to generate electricity like an electric eel) to muscle their way in. Her older sister (in line for the throne right before Eshii) died when she was fairly young, and her relationship with her parents wasn’t good at all so she ran away. She met Ace by accident and ran around exploring planets for a bit, died saving Ace, and was brought back by them using some sketchy space time anomalies. She mostly just wants to sleep in and play video games.

10/10 oh my gosh
The ceramic figure you based it on is mildly unsettling but literally perfect inspiration, I love the whole vibe your character gives off. The little bit of lore behind it is the perfect touch, especially the part about the eyes moving when you're not looking and it speaking dead languages. It really leaves you wondering about this weird little critter and its origin!!
The design is perfect, simple but very effective and easily distinguished from other characters. The pink accents are very nice and I really like the clawed paws, adds a slight sense of danger! If you wanted to make them more unsettling/creepier you could make the grey/blacks more of a murky green tinted color, although I think what you have right now works well.

ahh I just really wanted to rate that oc so I didn't come too prepared for posting, here's my DND oc juno though!
tabaxi human hybrid and a rogue, chaotic neutral and a bit of a loner. has high charisma and manipulates people into getting what she want, is very good at disguising herself. underneath all that though? just a hungry cat. give her your food (be warned, she'll probably pick your pockets even if you're nice to her)

    9/10

    aww, i love her! first off she's just straight up adorable and her outfit is super cute. i love the cape, capes are always a good character design, and the way her hair has a gradient. i'm a sucker for stripes, too, so i really love the tail and the markings on the face. her eyes are a good colour, too, they really pop! my only critique if i might like to see a little bit of green somewhere else? maybe as a bracelet or on a belt, but i don't think that's entirely necessary, and it's really just a nitpick. i love her, though!

    matchite? art and design by extra_terrestrial_introvert on instagram. he's a tiger demon who likes to hang out with mortals. his backstory is still a wip, so please just rate on design for now.

8/10
To be honest I don't normally like tigers much as a species for characters, probably that the general markings/colours are not too my taste for a fictional design. Same goes for this guy really but despite that I do really like him. I love the horns/spikes, stomach and the facial markings, its just a very unique design overall

Rate Toadmire p they are a pony fursona..ponysona of sorts based on mlp. they have a reference more true to the show's style here
Image
all is by me
In short they are a socially inept recluse residing in an old caravan parked within farmland alongside a small menagerie of animals they keep. They stand tall as to make up for their entirely unimpressive height, and wear a rather blank expression suggesting a perpetual absence, and have a habit of unconscious fidgeting, and the twitching of extremities. they often have in their mind becoming something of an excellent magician ( due to the insecurity of the fragility of their pony-shaped vessel, an "unfortunate incarnation", if you will), often failing where the need of practice begins and possess only fairly average abilities for a unicorn

For starters, I have always adored your characters. I find them so interesting and just love them ~ design wise and personality wise! I love their name, Toadmire. I also like My Little Pony. I grew up watching it, and I was hooked on it until the beginning of this year. I love the way you drew him ~ your style is so neat. Just the lines and the coloring ~ idk, I just really like it. I love their colors. Their skin tone is oddly enough a color I like ~ I guess I prefer muted, duller colors. His mane and tail I also adore; the mullet, and his mane color. I'm not usually a big fan of hats I am Groot but I think it ties in nicely here! His personality and how you've described him so far I also find very interesting and neat.

Apologies though, as I have nothing to critique.

solid 10/10!

This gal?

My friends and I call her sarcatstic. She has no set name, however. She's meant to have a simple, easy to draw design, and she's loosely based off my best friend. She appears to be a bit of a shy snob, that's usually her first impression. Once you get to know her you'll find she gets a kick out of teasing others, but she's nice enough to stop when you let her know it bothers you. She prefers having a few close friends rather than a large quantity. Brighter, more upbeat colors appeal to her more than muted dull tones, and she loves floral designs and flowers. She loves spring time the most. She lives in an area where you can really see the seasons change and on rainy days, she finds herself staring out the window watching the rain.

She gets stressed easily, and likes to treat herself and hang out with her friends to pass time and just for fun in general. She dislikes the beach and water, but still, she'll hang out there for her friends.

OH, all by me

      7/10 ;; Sorry for the sorta low rating! Overall she's a nice character, but I tend to be pretty picky about brown characters and I'm not a huge fan of the palette. The shades of brown clash a little, I think, especially the patch on the back, which is more of a reddish brown as opposed to the greyish brown of the rest of the body. I like the lines that separate the patches on her back and shoulder etc. from the rest of her body. I think that helps break up the design a little bit, but still not enough for the palette to be cohesive in my opinion. I love the scarf! The pink and the cream go really nice together, though I think those colours could be used a little more throughout the design. Like, maybe the flower could be the same colour pink, and maybe she could have some bracelets or something that match. Lastly, I think her eyes could be a brighter colour to pop out a little more! Sorry if this seems a little harsh, ahhh, I still like her! And as long as you're happy with her, that's what matters :)

      How about my new son? For names I'm caught between Mordecai "Kai" and Nikolai "Niko" so I would love to know which one you like better! He's an orphan whose parents were killed by the government or some form of nobility (because they were rebels, but he doesn't know that). He ends up being taken in by the government or a noble family, but eventually he ends up crossing paths with rebels (from the same group as his parents) that tell him the "truth" about their death and that those who have taken him in are responsible. He ends up joining the rebel group, feeling betrayed, and does a lot of their dirty work. He seeks vengeance for the death of his parents, but what he doesn't know is that there is more darkness lurking within the rebels than he realises. He's a bit of a playboy, is eager to please, and has a caffeine addiction.
