Description A decent ref, yes? I was playing around with textures and combined a whole bunch and came up with that background. Because apparently I don't know how to use textures right oh well.

For a rough look at her collars here's a couple links: [link] and

I like designing shit.

A little bit about Mae- she's a chubby stocky dog, and a mongral.
She's very easy going, tries to avoid conflict when she can (though will jump through hoops for those she's close to), and has an independent kind of personality. She can be rather obnoxious at times but is clumbsy as hell, hence the lab.
And I'll feel stupid if I go into more detail than that.

Likes: laying around, the beach (hometown is in Florida), eating cheese or hamburgers, exploring, hanging out near street musicans, acting like an idiot, I can't think of much else right now..

Dislikes: crowds, bugs, the cold, veggies.... will add more.

No I didn't base her off any dog/character I've seen, but basically combined her looks from the dogs that I love/feel represent me the most. She has that Anatolian Shepherd fawn colouring with the dark mask, the rottie "point" and body type, those hound lips and ears. The chow chow gives her a bit of a longer coat as well as a spotted tongue, and the lab- well she likes to eat and at times just acts like one at times.
Yes I know the red is very unrealistic- but it's been a characteristic of my fursona that made it unique to me ever since I was- what, 13? The red paw pads and pinna of the ears that is. Every one of my fursona's has it, like I said I feel that this makes every one especially unique to me.

Look fine to me! Very illustrative and would not be surprised a drawing manual might emerge from such a beginning. Keep up the work! Love it.

personally, i love the red bits, even if they aren't realistic. i think that absolute realism is often overrated when it comes to highly personal character/fursonas.

Thanks, me too. It does add a touch of originality/uniqueness to the character I think. I do like to have something on my characters that hasn't exactly been done before (to my knowledge anyways). Like Mae's markings- I seriously doubt you'll find any realistic dog with chocolate/silver looking "reversed" rottie marks on a light coloured dog. Haha sorry for my rambling.

Haha true. Same for my Jon- he's a purebred Newf, but you'll never see any dog of that breed with the markings he has. But hey, so long as characters arent shuper-shparkle-shpeshal, then that's fine with me! xD
