My first in-depth/polished ref sheet I've done for myself in nearly 5 years!
Finally, I've got the forms tied down...so there's a Betsy for every occasion and every type of artist lol. Now I actually have something to show to commissioners!
Man, ref sheets for yourself are WAY harder than ref sheets for others!
Hey thank you! It wasn't too hard to pick my clothes, I was wearing exactly the outfit you see in the middle (sans the shoes in the house) when I started drawing this! Actually I own all of these clothes...pretty sure I was wearing those undergarments too lol. The human-type one is 100% myself with an animal layer, so no need for me to think too hard and what to wear or look like lol
So many useful bits of information, and i LOVE the 'fourth wall' breaking annotations here and there.
really gets across your humour and personality too I find
I like the comparisons between different levels of anthropomorphism. Nice work!
So of all species, why a beaver?
Thanks Ransom!
I've actually considered putting this into a an FAQ (that's yet to be made) because you're not the only one who's asked this!
"Beather" (beaver) was my first word, and first favorite animal. It was also my favorite animal to imitate as a kid too.
I come from a long line of blue-collar industrious people. I myself have a massive work ethic and get goosey over a job well-done.
My body-type. Comparing myself to a squirrel (my previous fursona of nearly 6 yrs) which is more small and athletically built, I'm actually rather tall and heavy (in places) lol. I'm more of an Amazon built female then a petite thin one.
Female and male beavers both handle the same load and responsibility, even with pups. Being someone who doesn't fall into the gender binary the beaver just works out for me.
Beavers have GARBAGE eyesight....so do I lol.
Feels at peace/LOVES being submerged.
Beavers are often associated with Canada. I myself am not Canadian but I live in Maine where beavers and Canadians are common animals around here, lol. I'm also a huge fan of hockey, which obviously is pretty Canadian of me.
Betsy the Beaver... the stuff writes itself.
I always feel like I'm missing something but this pretty much sums it up!

Oh my gosh I love the glasses you picked for her. In fact the whole middle outfit is a nice mix of casual and fashionable (I love open button-downs over t-shirts okay).
