      I like your design a lot. Very cute with the big ears. I wanted to give my character a bag but like you I wasn't sure it was allowed so I left it out. Some people have used props and accessories so if you think it would improve your character go for it. Maybe don't put the bag in all the poses.

                      First color painting done, though if there are any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them to make it better.

                        I don't have any suggestions - I think he's brilliant and I love the way his ears glow πŸ™‚

                            @Gary-Wilkinson could we see what he'd look like with his mouth under his nose, not smiling but nervous?

                            Weird requestπŸ˜…

                              @Gary-Wilkinson Really cool character. I love the ear, pointy, loud, full of energy.
                              I love the twist of having a tie in the contrast of portraying a rebellious character. I wonder if the rebellious feel would be better described if he is wearing the tie in slightly wrong way.

                                  Super cute design!! I really love the way you painted him. The texture and the brush work adds a lot to his personality.

                                      I'm thinking to move the character more towards a regular fox than a fennec as I think the change in ear color will give it a bit more color variety. Also I made the tie a bit longer and the head slightly bigger, but im on the fence about the tie.

                                      What do you think?

                                      Black or without?
                                      Long or short tie?

                                        Love the glowing ears! I like the colour change on the ears and the bigger head but I think I prefer the shorter tie...

                                          @Gary-Wilkinson I think longer tie works a little bit better as it emphasises the character's small size. You've done a really nice job of pushing the cute proportions, I really love everything about this character design !

                                            I like the darker colours but prefer the shorter tie. It’s framed nicely in his belly. It all gets a bit busy where it ends when it is longer.
