HELLOOOO
ok. so... I'm doing this because I'm only 1 person and my skills are not top notch. It may have been my creation/idea, but I do not have the skills to portray them in a way that matches my vision. That's why I'm asking you for help.
What are ottercats?

Rules:
1. don't remove the artist search signature
1a. you can only remove/invisible my signature if you're making a new lineart/pose
2. if you're making a new pose/lineart, beware that it still has to resemble a mix between an otter and a cat (yes, it can lean more towards the one of the other)
3. have fun, be creative, do your thinggg, don't be scared by the massive text lol.
Additional notes:
You're gonna have to be able to redraw your addition on the adoptions/breeding page if you're accepted on to the team.
You can do line edits, no worries. I know my lines can be a bit confusing sometimes.

Looking for: (prone to change)
- There are currently 5 ottercat lines/poses, and the one labeled "oc2" is really bad by my personal standards, but I currently lack the skills to fix it- so I'm begging for help with that one (up for interpretation, though it was drawn with the idea of it leaning towards the otter genes)
- I need traits drawn ex. fur, but I'm pretty bad at hair. (a full list of traits is available below)
- New poses/lines (doesn't have to follow my style exactly, just has to resemble the species)
- Able to do a variety of (cat) patterns (stripes, tortoiseshell, calico, bicolor, painted, van, special marks like stars or hearts)

Note: If you choose to add traits, you don't have to do all of them, just choose a category (fur, tail, etc. or Cat, Otter, Mutation). Don't worry about future/new lines, they aren't available in this artist search, and I/we will update the new lines ourselves.


Otter trait = OT
Cat trait = CT
Hybrid mutation trait = HM
If an ottercat is leaning more towards the otter side then it will have more OTs, if it leans more to the cat side, it will have more CTs.
Physical Traits list (currently no rarity to them):

FUR
- short fur (OT and CT, mostly OT)
- slightly furry, mid to long length (CT - patches on legs, scruff, head, tail)
- very furry, mid to long length (CT - upper/lower half, only certain appendages - i.e. only legs, only tail, etc)
- hairless (CT)
- extra whiskers (HM)
- no whiskers (HM)
LEGS
- 5 fingers (OT)
- 4 fingers (CT)
- 3 fingers (HM)
- short legs (OT)
- webbed paws (OT)
- small claws (OT & CT)
- retractable claws (CT)
- mid legs (CT)
- big claws (HM)
EARS
- round ears (OT)
- small ears (OT)
- rounded pointy ears (CT)
- flat ears (CT)
- medium ears (CT)
- no ears (HM)
EYES
- beady mono-coloured eyes (OT)
- feline eyes (CT)
TAIL

There are no colouring restrictions, it would just be considered a mutation if it's an unnatural colour like green, purple, or pink.
Normal colour schemes for otters are black, and various shades of brown and white. Normal colour schemes for cats are white, red/orange, blue, black, cream, cinnamon, fawn, and brown.
