State of the Characters Address

I think after all the changes being talked about and shown, I think its time to deliver a speech about what exactly is going on, to end all the confusion. Im gunna break it down one character at a time, to explain the problems and the changes that followed.

Marie the Fox

Marie's design as a chubby red fox, was starting to look a bit plain, all she wore was that green bandanna and those odd looking sandals. In response I added a top and bottom in a similar style as Aurora's and it worked somewhat, she looked cute, but overall I was getting a bit disinterested in making her fat, it never caught on like Auroras in my heart. I pictured her as a girl with smallish breasts but big hips.

Is it the end all solution to Marie? hardly, my other view of her was a biggish girl, not chubby but plump. So its a matter of trying to find which one I like best. Her new outfit featuring the confederate flag is gonna stay no matter what her size. The dixie flag could be substituted with a plain beige color if certain close friends of mine take offense to it.

Aurora the Wolf

Aurora, the most successful of all my character designs in my opinion. I have no desire to really change anything on Aurora, I love her top and skirt, and her lil' armor thingies. The decision between Chubby and Regular, well I originally saw Aurora as just a big girl, tall, having big breasts and hips. Not really amazon size, but above average size. When Aurora went chubby it really worked, and I'm really leaning towards keeping her chubby. It was cute, and Aurora just doesnt have the effect and look im going for when shes not chubby. Shes a shy girl whos very caring and motherly.

Inuk the Husky

Being a new character, he's not getting any major redesign or overhaul, I made him with a design I like, and he will stay.

Jon Lupus

Here's were the problems begin. Jon Lupus is a very old design, I haven't been really fond of where he was heading. I didn't like his older meaner look, the cute look ended up getting too cute to the point of him getting way to babyish. Making him fat didn't help matters either. It's safe to say he will be out of service for a bit till I can finalize a good design and look for him. I need to spend time reevaluating him inside and out.
