First of all I'd like to thank you for this opportunity!! :) I think what your doing is very nice.
- This palette was inspired by a bunch of different palettes squished together:
-- Koi FIsh
-- Lobster
-- Red Squirrel
-- Otter
-- Red Panda
You don't have to stick to the exact colours here, you can use other colours and add on extra (neutral) colours as long as you stick the red/orange and green theme! I'm pretty loose with this.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for in my character, but they'll probably be an anthro or a very animal-inspired human.
Look to the links for ideas on what kind of animal to inspire the character on:
Crab/Lobster,
Otter,
Red Squirrel,
Red Panda,
Koi Fish,
Any other Animal that matches the colour-palette.
The character can be female or appear gender-neutral. (Gender-neutral so I can pick between having it be male or female depending on how the design feels to me)
