Style Sheet

Style Sheet (lineart)

I took one character, a linx in this case, and drew it in different styles. No reference for the linx, this is what it came to my mind the moment I put them on paper.
These are styles I usually work with (it doesn't mean they will be the only ones), they can be good as reference for any commissioner Of course they can be also mixed and turned into another style.

A) Disney Style. It respects the original animal features (proportions). It is realistic in a cartoonish way. I used to draw a lot in this style when I was little.

B) Cartoonish Style. Exagerated features. Nice to play with movement and easy to deform when performing different expressions. They can be plantigrade or digitigrade, quadrupede or biped.

C) Cute Style. As it sounds, it should inspire cuteness in a way you want to hug it. Mainly baby like features. Ears can be smaller or bigger depending on tastes.

D) Feral Style. This is the one I usually call "were". It's not human nor animal, but a mix with fierce features. Sharper theeths and claws, a more realistic fur feeling too. In short, more detailed than the oders too.

E) General Furry/ anthro Style. It my case it looks like the mix between style A,B and F. It can vary depending on tastes. The body has humanoid features, though I change paws, feet and tail. I like to draw them digitigrade (depending on the species).

F) Anthro Style/ Animeish. This style is a WIP one. It can vary too. Characters are mostly stylished, with a smaller nose and mouth (as in the example). Nice style to play around, but one must be carefull to not end up with simple anime faces with animal ears. I prefer them to have the animal essence (IMHO)

* I haven't included the "Chibi and Sonic style" here. The first one is a simplier version of the C style, while the second one you must already know it ^^
