Thinking about my 'sona
4 years ago
General
So, the entire time I've had/played Estix, it's just been a plain, femmy white rabbit - which I love!.. But also feels weird whenever I get commissions and am like "Yup, here's [a chunk of money], draw this plain rabbit"
I think a lot about details, changes, and things like that, but never find a good idea, or at least, something I genuinely like. For me, the details of the character's form and the rest of an image mean a lot, and I like having the character left as a blank canvas in and of himself.
...But that's uhhhh, kinda pretentious and I'm also just kinda scared of making a change and hating it.
So, any ideas on details/changes/etc from you, the watchers?

FA+

We've also all seen the spoopy voodoo doll and the literal chicken, so creating a little side character that acts as an accessory could be fun if done right.
I'd also say just dont lose track of how much you're changing, haha. Nobody likes sparkledog 'sonas and artists wont want to draw crazy, super complex designs, at least not without an extra fee.
Edit: Could also try leaning into body painting stuff if you like the canvas metaphor
-piercings simple (ear's, nipples, cock, face) these could place a bit of uniqueness and highlight some area's you want highlighted.
-Piercings complex (Corset piercings, chains...) these could also be used i use some on my bunny on her back thigh's. but they can be place on back, rib cage, legs, arms.
-Tattoo/birthmark: fairly obvious and works great.
-Darken tips: darken parts of your fur or use an entire other color from ear tips to arm's or even tail.
-Fur patches/exposed skin : fairly simple add fur to some places or remove fur in some places.
i had a simular problem with my bunny before i made her ref sheet. very recently she was just a dark grey bunny nothing really special.
i gave her Cybernetic legs, corset piercings behind her tight's as well as her nipples and cock, and finished it off by adding a splash of blue to her hair.
I must add Hair can be a very defining feature from highlights to style.
