Back in December 2020, I started doing character design practice as a way for me to shake out of an art block and to warm up to doing commissions. Eventually my mind went to doing a tactical rpg ala Shining Force, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics etc, with furry characters.

I'd like to try and make it some day, but for the time being, here are the character designs I've been making on the weekends for fun!

A big ol' relaxed tanuki boy! The original design had him as a tank/healer archetype, so I imagined he'd be able to tank hits with his bulk and affect allies and enemies with status effect changes

In reference to Pom Poko, and how tanukis supposedly drum on their bellies, I gave him a drum.
