9/10!
This character has such a cool backstory! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! The markings are extremely cute and everything is well thought-out! The green was a nice colour for the eyes, to really make them pop! The twigs and leaves are also a nice addition! What makes it a 9 over a 10, is becuase I feel it needs more green throughout the design in contrast to all the brown/grey! Such as the pawpads! Otherwise, a really great design!

This is Yua, the manokit! They are my fursona, my design on https://www.deviantart.com/trashrap 's lines!
I'd love some constructive criticism on the design!

I love this simple design, and the colors are pleasant to look at! I would maybe find a way to incorporate a third color on the tail maybe? Not sure if that would be over the top, just feels like there is not much going on there. Maybe add small leg markings, the lower half seems a bit empty compared to the top. Otherwise I think this is a nice design (:

This is a cool kiddo! I love the more natural colour pallets and it’s easy as far as eye strain goes when compared to some other characters. He definitely gives the desert/outdoors vibe and I also really like the pink nose as I personally don’t see many canine characters with pink noses that suit the design. I also really like the little markings on the back as it gives the fella some personality. Personally I’d want to see more of the dark brown used on his head and tie it in elsewhere [e.g the paws] as it is quite bold by itself. I think the zig zags on the tail are also cute but could be included more? Perhaps not even on as a marking [e.g have a scarf with the same pattern].

Honestly this kiddo is unique and I’d love to see more of him around c:



My shy kiddo Dabi?
- lineart by Dakikr
- design/bad headshot by me



Dabi has a fairly big role in a comic in the making so I’ll try keep his story short before I waffle completely. Basically this shy kiddo was orphaned when he was young so he became quite isolated and lived under the watch of his mentor; Nikita a grumpy old guard. Dabi had dreams to become a great warrior some day but he was bullied because of his smaller, less muscly build. He ended up taking a job helping out at the castle, serving the prince as a messenger. And then stuff happens and he gets mugged with going on the run with a small group (including the prince) after the kingdom gets attacked and overrun. So now he’s casually running away with the group as they try to figure out who just completely wiped out the kingdom and go on this lanky adventure to find some others to help them take back the kingdom. Also plot twist this poor child is royalty and gets recognised later in the story by the cloth he wears around his head which is actually the headband of his father [ a king whose kingdom was also completely wiped out the day he was abandoned].

Honestly he’s just about ready to curl into a ball and cry himself to sleep.

im always such a big fan of natural designs, and im definitely loving this character's design! i really like the color contrast/switch, and i think it looks sweet! i also like the little background/backstory you have for him. there's nothing really i dislike in particular, but im not sure if i like the cloth he wears? i feel like it doesn't really go well his design? but that's just my opinion. overall: 9/10

jaylani? designed by me, astrohund. original lines created by tealea.


i don't really have much on her, and am yet to flesh her out, but the basic concept for her is that she possesses some strange power that she is trying to keep a secret. still not sure what power exactly, yet.

[lovestruck]

8/10- Such a cutie! I love the ears and horn. The design is also really pretty and I love the yellow on the eyes! However, personally something about the red hair throws me off? Idk. Overall though a v cute character!



original design by DREAMING-F00L on th, art and revamp by me
she’s a quiet, anxious type. very kind/motherly, cares about others and intelligent. very awkward kiddo
She’s my sona I guess! I feel like her design’s really simple so I’d love some ideas on how to spruce it up without changing too much (cause she has 30+ art pieces)

natural anthro designs usually don't strike a cord with me. I love her paws/hands as they are super cute
as for something to spruce it up, maybe a little extra something that makes her unique from any other canine?
my first thought would be some extra markings, like speckles on her cheeks to look like freckles or a heart-shaped patch of brown? Another idea could be something like heterochromia or a nick in the ear.
If you don't want to change her sole design, maybe add some accessories. I checked her out on toyhouse and saw that she likes art and music. If she is clumsy or messy, maybe she has little splots of paint of charcoal from her drawings. For music, what's her favorite instrument? if it's small enough to carry around, maybe she brings it with her everywhere?

I hope those suggestions helped


design by me, design challenge template here

Hugo (name pending) is a fox anthro who lives during the apocalypse. He is infected with a plant-like growth which makes his arm and leg extremely numb and rendered him mute. He doesn't have much of a personality yet, but I've pictured him as being shy, a bit skittish, and very observant.

8/10…
i rlly love the steampunk design on him and the plant additions are so very pretty… really the only thing that made me bump him a little lower was that i just personally don't like steampunk super much? but he truly is gorgeous and i love his little backstory thingie too


design by me art by ShyDestine


Silv is a warlock type of guy, who's main goal is to find his special staff, which will make him stronger than any other. the only thing is, he has no clue where or how to get it. he has a very short fuse, likes to read, and never ever smiles. like, ever. His only treasure or trinket is an old gold key which he wears over his neck in a necklace. the key goes to a small jewelry chest that has 1 gold piece in it. That is the money he has left.

I think the design is really nice! The colors work well together for the most part and the outfit seems to be realistic for the character. It seems their special key might be worth than what they're protecting with it, but to each their own haha. It's simple key design and it fits well.
One thing I'd tweak would be the brown sections of the outfit. I understand that since the image is traditional, colors may be limited, so correct me if I'm wrong here. I think the design would benefit from the brown being darkened and desaturated to emulate leather more closely and so that it doesn't clash with the blues.
Very lovely character! It looks like they fit very well into a fantasy universe. Objectively, all characters are 10/10, so the 8 in this case is just my personal bias against fantasy and d&d related characters due to there not being much originality.

his toyhouse: https://toyhou.se/894316.darren
Darren (born as Revmir) was born in 1962 in Soviet Ukraine. He's unaware of his psychopathic tendencies, as he's manipulative and extremely goal oriented. Basically, he grew up to be a hitman lol. He's a musician and he loooooooooooooves America.

art and character design by me. sorry for taking so long lol i realized i didnt have many refs that didnt involve gore/nudity so i just cropped this one.

Unfortunately his link was broken. I love human designs so that gives it a huge bonus, but something about him just seems a bit plain. I'm sure it is a lack of information, as you mentioned a bit of it was not CS friendly.

Everything by me

Aspen Forrests is a young boy who is not human at all. His infertile mage parents made a plant golem and gave him very impressionable memories. His disguise is a bit faulty and He is very scared that he has some sort of infection of is an alien (he has a very hyperactive imagination.)

[Echos]

10/10! While humanoid creatures are usually not my thing, I absolutely adore this dude! He’s so cute! I love his backstory as well, and I love that his design works with it! Also his “golem” design is super cool ahh
