okay, so i changed my fursona to this guy i would like his design critique on him. ( i might change back to 3d) 

overall, this design has a really nice colour scheme, except for the grey. there’s only one grey part, but either way it doesn’t really fit the rest of the colours. you could probably replace it with another blue (probably darker) or maybe a green, though i’m not sure how it’d look with green.

i really like the purple accents! i’m going to assume the paw pads are also purple (if he does have paw pads) and if so, then that’s great.

in summary, i’d say this is a really nice design, but you should probably either replace the grey with another colour or get rid of the grey markings completely. either this or 3d would both be great designs!

thanks!

Okay! I’m not really sure what’s missing or if I should add any more things to her, but I feel like she’s a bit plain..

first of all id like to say that i looove the colour scheme. the natural colours with a bright accent works really well, and the markings look both natural and appealing.

i dont at all think she’s too plain, the markings are recognizable without being too complicated, i think you got a basic yet unique look down pat.

i really cant see any problems with this design. the colours are great, the markings are just the right amount of detail and shes super cute and recognizable!

i don’t think it really needs anything more, it’s very cute!! although if you were to add any extra markings, i’d say they could be a mid-tone between the brown and the beige. but overall a very nice design! nvn

Hope I’m doing this right, well this dude here is that German Shepard I talked. Can I have a design critique please?

i think that this design is great because it simple but very recognizable! you did a good job at making a unique character without making to way too complex

the only thing i could say that might need some change is the red spot on the paw pad isnt really necessary and breaks the uniformity of the rest of them. other than that this is a fantastic design and i actually really love it ;w;

I hope the blog is still alive, I need advice for my fursona. He is a albino German Shepard with a 3D like theme I would've sent in a picture but im on a mobile device. Now what I wanted to know was my fursona has no marking but little add ons (Mohawk, color ful paws mouth and eyes) would you say this is okay? Or should I do something

yeah we're still alive!! we just haven't had any submissions haha uvu

i think that sounds fine! i assume when you say a "3D" theme you mean like with red and blue accents? because that would definitely make for a very interesting and unique character. i could imagine having red and blue alternating in the paws and hair!

as long as you don't add another singular colour on it's own (eg. a green or orange or something) i think it's good. although if you were good with choosing your colour schemes, you could probably make a purple look good because it's halfway between blue and red?

anyway, i think your fursona sounds great! if you'd like, you can send in a picture another time and we can give a critique

thanks for reviving this blog lol

I and a friend is going to make sibling couple ocs and we know most of what we want on them. Colors and such~ BUT, we don't know pattern to make them look really cute and unique. How should we do?

here are some tips regarding unique designs!the number one thing to remember when you want to make a unique design is adding more and more markings wont do anything for it. the greatest character designs are always simple but memorable

always piece together your markings from simple shapes. you may think itll make the design boring, but clever arrangement and colour use can really enhance your design in combination with markings that arent crazily complex.

if you give a character sharp zig zaggy lines, dont then go on to add circles- it makes the design look just wrong and breaks up the composition. its also a good idea to use shapes that match the characters features, for example lots of sharp shaped markings on a spiked dragon

and finally, regarding matching characters. theres really no definite right way to do this, but i can give you some tips.

-you could palette swap the designs, so the marking are the same but differently coloured

-make their markings largely the same aside from a single important marking which is different

-make them largely the same with some variations every here and there in marking colour and shape.
