Just a little fun for when you have time to kill

7/10
I think the personality is really good. I think that aspiring to be a comedian really suits his designs, I can see this guy up on stage doing a one man show. Focusing more on the design I can't quite put my finger on it but something just feels a bit off. I think his face carries a lot of personality and interesting detail but then the body looks a little plain? The colours + the outfit just don't feel like they quite work. Anyway my suggestion would be to explore lots of different outfits and see what works best.
My girl fluffy? I just revamped her and would love some critique to make her as good as possible.

Fluffy seems sweet and friendly. However spending longer then two minutes talking with her you'll find her outward appearance and first impression incredibly deceptive. She is a space pirate not known for mercy and is determined to conquer any world she crosses. Often after you talk to her and she appears happy but as soon, as you turn away her eyes will instantly turn to a dead stare and follow you till you leave the room. She will befriend anyone she crosses and almost always betray them without realising she is doing so. The one exception is her first mate, her girlfriend T.Y who is the only one who has a proper insight to her true nature.

This character is not entirely my cup of tea, but there are aspects of her design that I really like! While the colors are more saturated then my tastes, the use of a predominantly white and black color scheme really helps to balance out the colors so she does not come across as overwhelming or busy. I really like the cape especially; it ties her design together really well! Her anatomy is also really interesting and adds to the fantasy vibe. I always like the character who comes across as kind and gentle who is actually conspiring against you, so I quite like her as a character! I also really like the detail of her eye being black while the rest of her is colorful-- the reversal of the expected pattern helps draw attention to her face.
The only aspects of her design that I am not a huge fan of (and understand that this is personal opinion and what really matters is how much you like her!) is that her body markings don't really flow or have direction but come across as sort of random. I would love to see a more strategic placing of the stripes and dots to make her flow a bit more smoothly. That being said, I do really like her design, and I commend you on a really nice revamp!
Again, this is just my personal opinion. I look forward to seeing her around in the future!

Aristarchos, designed by xilacs on DA~
Aris was trained from a young age by the castle; raised to be an agent on behalf of the king's interests. Sent to train early due to his parent's poverty, it was the only life he ever experienced in which he was well-fed and cared for. Trained in both sorcery and assassination, Aris and his fellow knights became the greatest weapons of the kingdom, used against good and evil alike in order to enrich and empower the king's rule. Aris was instructed to travel to a neighboring kingdom in the shadows of night with the goal of killing the enemy's heir; however, when he arrived, he saw the heir to be only a youth, not the malicious force he had been told. Unable to follow through with the order, Aris fled the knighthood and the king. Due to his skills, he was able to find a place in the thief's guild. While he acts as an expert thief on behalf of the guild, his loyalty does not lie with them. Instead, Aris is constantly seeking a way to conspire against the king and castle who made him a killer. He seeks to topple the kings power and will do whatever is necessary to end the king's rule.

9/10, i really like this character! i love the markings on the body and the colour of the eyes and the feathers on the head pop out in just the right amount. i live for well-done monochrome style designs, and this one looks great! i also like that it's hard to pinpoint the anatomy of the body to any particular animal -- it makes the character look so much more unique. my only nitpick is i feel the legs are a little bare, and some extra markings or accessories might help with that.
calder? i just finished designing him. he's a former prince whose kingdom was destroyed by a super mad god. his father did something to really tick them off and now the god is trying to take it out on calder. now he just kind of wanders around and avoids the god. all by me. without armour.

7/10 ;; I like that he's a pygmy goat, as it's a species you don't see a lot and I have a soft spot for them! In terms of actual design, though, he's a bit too simple for my tastes, and the fact that he has some markings on his head but not really on the rest of his body feels a little unbalanced. I'm curious as to why there are two versions on his ref. Is one just an alternate palette, or is there a reason that his colours change? One thing I do really like is the white accenting along the backs of his legs and chest and stuff, though I think the patches could be a bit bigger to break up the brown a bit.
How about Lycaon? He's been dubbed "The Dark Prince" and hails from a royal lineage. However, he's been exiled from his family for some reason (partially his fault and partially part of a darker plot probably, haven't nailed down the specifics yet though). So, he's a bitter and resentful loner now who keeps to himself and doesn't need friends. He can manipulate blue fire and magical blue crystals that he can make appear and disappear at will, and his wings appear to be made partially out of shadow, as the edges of them never seem completely solid. Other than that, his concept is still a work in progress. However, his face is asymmetrical, which I'm thinking might tie into things somehow. You can see the other side here.

Alright, I was holding off on rating him because you already know how I feel but here I am anyway.
10/10 - Your well aware the given the chance I would straight up sacrifice my soul for him. Everything about him is perfect, his design, accessories and story. I can be picky with dragon characters since often enough people make them either too busy or give them nothing at all, he’s perfectly in the middle of all that. I definitely want to see more of him around that’s for sure.

8/10 aww she’s really cute! I love the shade of her main brown, it’s really soft and pleasing to the eyes. The pink fits in well with the design and the hearts are a nice addition. The only thing that throws me off is her back and tail markings. I don’t know what it is about them, but they seem a bit out of place? Almost a bit too distracting if that makes sense. I feel like the color of them almost clashes with the main deisgn (they’re a bit too dark??/ would look nice if they were a more purpley pink hue like the light brown) But that’s just my opinion and if you like it then keep it! Other than that she’s a really lovely character! I adore her!!

My new girl? I don’t have a personality for her yet but she’s a shiba inu who is soft spoken and loves plants! Design and art by willowoof on Instagram

This is such a cute character! I absolutely adore the colors, and she is very unique for a Shiba Inu character. I love the little sprout on top of her head and the socks are a nice touch. The only thing that really throws me off is the collar. I'm not sure if it's the color, the thickness, or if it's just too busy. Otherwise, super cute char!

This character is not the sort I would own myself but there are many things about the design that I really like, especially things that I noticed when I drew them a while back. I really like the combination of the two different wings, even though I wasn't expecting to-- normally that wouldn't be my style, but the slightly chibi style of the character and the small size of the wings mean that they balance out really well. The design is a very nice blend of simple and eye-catching, which is one of my favorite combinations. He manages to be unique through the use of anatomy and the ear pattern without being complex. The only reason I took a point off is because I feel that the design is slightly unbalanced-- the use of the red on the pale pattern is very eye-catching, but the dark colors on the tail overwhelm the dark colors on the head and take some of the attention away from the face. That being said, I do really like this design!
