To answer a rather common question the past few years, especially since I posted [this] earlier in the morning~!

Why do my "personal" characters have a weird eye/scar?

To be honest- when I made my first official fursona (Ruby, to the left) it was merely a play on old habits. I always drew [and still do a lot] faces to the left out of habit & wanted something to show on that side. I'm a sucker for scars as it is, lol. The original concept was the "blind eye" lacked a pupil but was otherwise normal.

The more recent concept (Nanu, in the middle) I honestly emphasized on the fact that I'm near-sighted in my left eye. Not quite astigmatism [tho that would be cool looking] but it gives me headache problems a lot. I extended the scar for aesthetic reasons. Also worked with something I think is incredibly awesome in animals; coloured sclera (white of the eye) and in the blind eye, the iris/pupil "bleed out" into the sclera sometimes too.

Lastly- my manga dude, Mako. He originally just hijacked the old design on my fursonas. Eventually his story actually gave reason for such, so now the scar is jagged to show the result of stitches etc, just lacking the pupil. The blind eye was blue for awhile, but after being accused of copying a certain someone I just chose to be slightly more realistic with a lighter green instead.

That's about it, sorry I can't say that I have some sort of epic IRL scar in my own eye or the bi-coloured thing. It's just fun to draw, lol.
