So believe it or not, I actually started working on a ref sheet idea for myself way back in 2022 (hence the random sketches from then, now in my scraps, that have eventually ended up in this)... I abandoned it though and it has sat languishing in my folder of WIP art (along with many others 😩) for nearly a year.

Since I've finally got back into drawing, I've really pushed myself to complete this and really glad I have in the end as I think it's come out really well!

I've been a furry for almost longer than I can remember, I'm 24 now and was looking at furry stuff (before I even knew what 'furry' was) since I was a teenager. Never imagined I'd one day be able to draw my own character though, even when I started drawing 5 years ago it seemed like a far fetched dream.

I went a bit overboard with this ref sheet and decided to go for three poses and four additional head busts (not to mention the other additional details) in a very "wide" aspect ratio, which is part of why I kept losing the will to work on it as I'd definitely bit off more than I could chew with this. I must have spent at least 80 hours working on it in total; in between the numerous redraws of the lines and the multiple attempts at doing the colour/fur patterns the time involved really stacked up... if I do commissions I'm going to be very hesitant to accept ref sheet comms 😅

Anyway, would love to know what you guys think of this 'yote - in the meanwhile I'm gonna get busy finally updating my profile picture for the first time in years 👀
