This has been about 13 years in the making. When I first submitted that older refsheet, I knew that I wanted to make another for myself as I am, rather than idealized as Chocolate (and of course, Ruby later on). It took me about a month from start to finish to get this done, and it feels so good to have finally put it down on paper.

Being entirely honest, I was surprised by how much I struggled to find the right words when I sat down to write this out, given how important this refsheet turned out to be for me. Not because I didn't have much to say, but because I didn't know where to start from. I do wish I'd thought to post this on Chocolate day, which is when I finished it, but I still have that at least.

The entire time I was working on this project, I kept thinking about how it took the combined influence of starting on HRT and realizing that I'm puppy to finally force me to commit to how I want to be seen. To tell the whole story though, once I'd added mechanics to my fursona, I suddenly had a strong need to explain them. Can't imagine why... *Coughs in Game Designer*

I also planned the sheet as one huge piece, but it quickly grew cumbersome and I took the extra steps of formatting it as three standalone parts as well. I'm not sure which of the two layouts I prefer, so I just posted them both anyway.

Writing about myself in this way has never been easy for me, but I've grown confident enough to want to do it anyway.

I hope you like the results of this crazy journey as much as I enjoyed commemorating having made it this far.

We had some extra time this month so we polished up Tiff's friend's refsheet for her new fursona that I helped design in our last session. It was pretty fun!

Holy moley, it's a full set of character sheets!

These took far more work than I had originally anticipated. I got stuck tweaking the designs and layouts of the sheets for a very long time trying to make them look consistent while getting a good balance between providing all the essential information and not being overwhelming. You'll notice that I reuploaded both Chocolate's and Ruby's sheets; this is cause I made a few more edits to them since the last Worldbuilding post I put up.

After this project, though, I feel like I've also settled on a style of reference sheet that I'm quite happy with. Being able to go all-out with my own characters let me play around with things a lot, and replicating this layout in commissions while still being able to offer different levels of detail will be far easier to do with these first designs in hand.

These will serve as my "Main 6" characters for the majority of my personal projects. With these done, I'll be putting my Worldbuilding work on the back burner for a while, in favour of resuming more specific illustration projects. However, I still have many character design ideas I'd like to explore with them in future.

For starters, I already have concepts in mind of supporting characters for several of them (which are also hinted in some of their sheets). I also have many other related subjects I'd like to expand upon, like their abilities, quirks and backstories in the form of what I'm tentatively calling "Lore Pages." These will likely take the form of a more relaxed style of reference sheet that deals with specific parts of the characters' designs.

For now though, enjoy these character sheets - I hope you like them!

Been working on these for a while, but here's the first set done! The core duo finally has a fully fledged reference sheet of their own. I've included both the NSFW and SFW versions just for the fun of it.

I doubt this'll stop me from tweaking and adjusting things as I go along, but at least I have something concrete down on paper to build off of now.

I hope you like them - there's plenty more left to come!

Here's a new worldbuilding WIPs thread for you all! I'm hoping to offer some variety by juggling a few projects at the same time in this way.

As part of the Christmas streams, I started work on a project I'd been mulling over ever since I made the "What am Chocolate?" informational comic. This series explains the various techniques Chocolate uses to get into people's heads, with accompanying illustrations, which will help you avoid shenanigans facilitate any future encounters you might have with it!

There's another 5 of these planned for the series, and I may redraw a few cause of the difference in quality so far. Either way, I'll be posting any progress here for your enjoyment, as per usual.

Character sheets are a lot more work than I had anticipated. To be fair, my workflow was likely held up by the fact that some of the features and design elements hadn't been pinned down yet, so a fair amount of time was sunk into getting them just right () even before the sheets could be properly finished.

That said, here's the flats done and dusted. Well, for the most part anyway.

Yasmin's sheet isn't quite done yet cause I ran a little late getting things finished during last night's stream. Her basic design and colour scheme are fairly straightforward though, so there's not much else to see other than what's visible from the front. Maybe a lighter gray tail, but that's about it.

These are finally drawing towards completion (ha). Once I have them in hand, I'll feel a lot more comfortable putting my little cadre of characters to good use. I had planned on making some supplementary notes pages for lore, background, and other useful information, but those can come later and I can work on them more gradually alongside other art.

Hello again! Since my last post I've been picking away at my characters' sheets and the progress has been slow-going, but fairly steady regardless. I underestimated just how much time these things would take, especially with how particular I'm being with getting everything just right.

It's been a while now, so here's the current state of all the sheets so far. I've gotten the line and colour work done on Chocolate and Ruby's sheets, and the sketches of all the others. I included the SFW and NSFW variants of the coloured sheets since there are minor differences in the layouts, but there's no real surprises either way.

A nice mix of rewards that I'm quite proud of in this batch, along with a handful of gifts for a small assortment of nice people, too.

Hope you like it!
