six / ten.
I like the idea of the character overall. I also like the quirk of him being sensitive to the sun + wearing a cloak. ^^ The colors, however, are a bit much for me. I like the purple/grey theme, but the purple seems quite bright compared to the rest of the character. The cloak seems off, since it's a completely different color than the charter and clashes. However, this is my own personal preference // He is still a cool character.

Dave? His toyhou.se isn't done, so here's some info on him. ^^

> made out of ink/oil material
> floats around
> eats crayons to survive
> eyes change color based on what color of crayon he eats
> has to eat crayons in shades of one color; if he eats multiple colors, his eyes go wonky, and he gets dizzy
> goes temporarily blind if he eats black; shades of grey will make him partially blind based on darkness of shade
> pretty much will eat anything if it fits in his mouth
> mouth only appears when he eats
> tends to stick to things
> leaves a drippy trail
> he gets drippier when stressed
> doesn't speak; mainly makes kazoo/pinwheel/purring noises
> he can mimic other noises, almost like a parrot
> really dislikes forests, as he sticks to everything and makes a mess
> has a "pet" turtle

> kind of shy
> loves children
> will get grumpy when hungry
> pouts when unhappy (and makes alarm clock noises when frustrated)
> loves being hugged, though he knows that it's pretty much impossible
> very curious dude, though it can get him into trouble

Not quite my cup of tea, but this is a really cute character! The simplicity of the design really works with the overall theme with him. The concept is definitely unique and I love how his body is slightly "gooey" and it has those runny ends. I like how you used the simple black and white colors for his design. The large, ovular white eyes really works with his completely blackened skin- it really pops out at you. Cute character!

Damien?
Linking Damien because his piece is rather large. More information is in the link- please excuse the watermarks.
The rest of his outfit is very robe-like like pictured in the piece!
He was designed and drawn by @/apostleart on da

7/10 I feel like he's a little bit stereotypical with color and species, but I do love his backstory. I think the chains around him are a nice add on as well, if they're a part of his design along with the halo. I kinda think he could have a few bright colors, or something added to him to make him stand out, but that's just my opinion. Overall, not kind of my type of character, but definitely thought was put into it, if it makes any sense.

Unnamed? By me

Be as harsh as you want, he was made up on the spot and I'm planning on getting a ref of him. He's based on the Doublehead enemy from Silent Hill 3.

7/10 ;; I get that he was formerly a FNAF oc (Which isnt my cup of tea but i can see you've moved past that). I want to say that the neon green ALMOST works, but something feels off about it. Maybe its the bright pink? Then again, I'm not a huge fan of neon characters in the first place. However, I do really like his hair and his outfit.

This new girl? I'm currently trying to decide between the names Jezebel, Diana, Asha, or Alexandria. Input would be appreciated because I'm very indecisive.

Basically, she's the queen of a rather large tribe that she prefers to refer to as her kingdom. She's a peaceful ruler, but often comes across as cold and emotionless, primarily because she can have a bit of a temper and tries her best not to let it get the better of her, but also because she wants to come across as impartial at all times. She does a lot for her tribe, and often leads them on hunts, preferring to involve herself in their lives rather than sitting on some fancy throne. Sanaki, despite his resentment for authority figures, is indebted to her because she saved him from being on the brink of death, and she likes to make sure he remembers that. She has little tolerance for insubordination, and tends to keep a close eye on him.

Oh btw, the reddish brown spots on her legs and ears actually aren't markings, but henna ink. It protects her paws from rugged terrain and from drying out, and it keeps away bugs and parasites as well. (Historically, it was commonly used on salukis and other hunting dogs in the middle east.)

First of all, let me get this out of the way. She stands out from a lot of OC’s in a good way. I love her design and the clothing she wears. Though, I’m not too fond of the red tips on her ears. But, that’s just me. I never really fancied red on a character on their fur (henna marking for her). The bio of her makes me want to see her on some sort of television show. She seems so well thought out, having bad qualities and good qualities. I really like how the henna ink helps protect her. It just seems so cool. Very well thought out character I must say. I’ll give her a solid 8/10
My wonderful boy, Maxwell:


Maxwell is a very timid boy. He gets anxious pretty easily, though, he plays it off usually to avoid any drama. Thoughh, he doesn’t let getting anxious stop him whenever he has the chance to meet a new friend! He loves to make new friends, usually, he likes to play pretend. Maxwell tends to get too adventurous and would go to the extent of extreme danger to get a good ol’ kick of entertainment. Maxwell lived a nice, clean life in his home state of Florida. The state known for it’s sunshine and rain, but mostly it’s beautiful beaches. Maxwell went to a nice public school where he had tons of friends. Though, even if they were separated in middle school, he still keeps up wh them to this day. One day, when a rain storm pulled through, Maxwell convinced his mother to let him go outside and play. Once outside, a few minutes later, he saw a red cape laying on the dirty, muddy grass. Going to check the scene out, Maxwell saw the red cape, though it had a few holes in it, Maxwell managed to convince his mother to wash the cape and fix it up for his delight. He pasted two big balls of cotton on the sides to form the illusion the cape had wings. Though, surprisingly, Maxwell doesn’t even like the fabric on his cape. Which is velvet.

super cute, i only have a couple gripes with him. one being very small, and that's that he's described to get anxious easily, but later said to get too adventurous/dangerous. I'm also a bit confused on the whole cape story, and it seems just a little convoluted in how he got it and why he likes it so much, but that could be due to my misunderstanding. the design is nice, though, and i really don't have any complaints there.
overall, i like him but some things just don't work for me.

Selyne?
pictured left: titan form. pictured right: regular form.

the self-righteous sun deity, known for her chaotic nature. She defends her people from unholy spirits, harnessing the might of the sun into her titan form, in order to maintain balance on earth. Selyne is kind to those who do right, but be cautious of how much trust you place upon her. Wild with power, it is not unlike Selyne to fly off the handle if something displeases her.
(everything by me)

those designs are so cool! I also feel like her personality is very interesting and could cause interesting conflict if you wrote a story about her! My only critique is her titan form seems a bit too similar to her normal form. Perhaps some additional changes would make it stand out more?

Sid? He's based off my computer, and is a funny, optimistic guy. He also a bit annoying at times XD

Linked due to size, you'll have to zoom in

8/10 Object heads are pretty common, but I love how their head is a laptop instead of the usual tv or computer monitor. I think the blue screen of death as a negative form is unique as well, and overall I love them a lot. I'm not a big fan of the floaty hands and feet though since I prefer limbs attached, but that's just me.

My Runner Xenomorph, Milky? By Naiko (unsure of full username)

With effects can be seen here, by same artist
Her name is short for Milky way, due to her colors and special bioluminscense color. Raised by a child before being released, Milky exhibits more dog like traits and behaviors, and very comfortable around humans to the point they'll refuse to prey on any. Currently living in the wild, Milky commonly preys on animals, but there have been a few instances of eating humans but this was out of desperation.

7/10 ;; Initially, I really liked the design. The colours are nice and it's fairly simple (though I would like if he was wearing clothing, as I find anthros without clothing to be a bit odd but that's just me). However, I realised that he seems pretty cliche, especially with the upside down crosses everywhere. That's an aesthetic I see in his type of character far too often. The beanie and the hair as well. I feel like I see it a lot. That's not to say he isn't unique, because he is, I just think he could stand out more if that makes sense? However, I do really like his fur and his markings, especially the splash of white across his muzzle. They look like freckles :p

My new boy, Sanaki? He's the former prince of a forest-based tribe, but after being falsely accused of a crime, he was exiled. Since then, he's become a wanderer and a mercenary, doing odd jobs here and there for money. He's a bit of a grump at times, but he has a good heart. Rather than trying to prove his innocence, he's turned his back on his tribe, not wanting anything to do with a system so corrupted that they don't even believe their own rightful heir. The bow, while functional, is more of an ornamental accessory, as he prefers to use his spear if he needs to fight. Despite his resentment towards his old tribe, he often winds up sending the majority of the money of makes back to his mother, who was the only one who actually stood up for him when he was being accused.
He has since taken up refuge with her Clan, after she saved him from nearly dying after suffering grievous injuries. Though he's not pleased about it, he's found himself in her debt because of it, and because of the rather large sum of money she gave him to serve her Clan (knowing he wouldn't be able to deny it).

From a design standpoint, ignore the white on his paws. I'll probably be getting rid of it when I redraw him.
