      Good Afternoon.. I think all the white ones look more like the abominable snowman. The Brown or Fur ones look more like a BogFoot. I like G the best.

                  I like A, C and D. They seem the most physically capable of doing interesting things, maybe because of their poses. I also think the fur on them looks the most natural, like it is part of their bodies. When you add clothes you may want to adjust the fur where the hands and feet begin, so the fur kind of tapers off rather than stops abruptly like an additional sleeve/cuff. The expressions are all very fun. I think the sidelong glances give it a mischievous look. The black-dot eyes are more passive, in a good way, like it would be a trustworthy sidekick who listens, like Hobbes. The eyes you choose might depend on the situation.

                    B and D for me. I like the cuddliness of B and the quirkness of D. D's height and long limbs could make for some interesting challenges in various story lines.

                      @asyas_illos C & E. There's something so cuddly and approachable about those variations. Is your bigfoot intended to have a friendly and cuddly personality?

                        @melissa_bailey well he is nice, the story is about him taking a vacation Hawaii style his raccoon friends help disguise him as best they can and he leaves the forest, so everything is very new and exciting for him.

                              @asyas_illos I like B and D best. They both have the most interesting silhouettes, D having a bit more potential in making odd, quirky shapes. I can imagine him squatting down to get eye level with someone and his knees being up towards his ears. What a fun shape! I like the soft, squishing approachability of B though. Like I kind of want to hug him. So I guess it depends what story you're telling.

                              I also really love the simple hand-drawn texture of the fur more. Makes it feel a bit more... folksy I guess. You've achieved some super cute expressions with very few marks. Love it.
