Confucius Say by slugbones

Confucius Say

Just winding down for bed.

Various out-of-context dumbasserisms from the past while.

Incidentally, I really like the head/neck shape in the sketch that goes with the shoving-up-ass quote.

    Filo is shifting into Mordecai aesthetic. Have you noticed?

      Yes!

      I kind of suffer from some sort of trait consolidation syndrome. What I mean to say is, I find some aesthetic bit I really like, and the next time I make a character or creature, it's hard to move away from that. Back when I had Slug as sort of a fursona thing, all of my other characters had those big floppy ears as well. I had a boer goat, some weird salamander thing with long ears like that, Mordecai used to have big floppy ears, and I had a blue beast monster with the same.

      I am really drawn to long hair on male characters, so that will probably continue to be a trend for some time. And glasses - it's very hard for me to make a character I identify with without putting glasses on it. Also, females with mohawks. All my females had mohawks. I don't really have but one female character presently, but she does have a mohawk.

      Filo also sports the tail banding pattern that Slagtooth has. I put that on Slagtooth, really liked it, and slapped it on Filo as well.

      I guess, in the end, when it comes to personal characters versus random creatures - instead of trying to maintain a pleasingly diverse menagerie of characters, I just prioritize things I like.

      That said, I've really been quite pleased with Filo as a main fursona. I really didn't have anything I identified with as such for a long time, so maybe now that that's settled I'll feel like I have more room to branch out in terms of design.

        I do this too. Nearly any character that I-Am ha round glasses. They might be different colors, mirrored, maybe just clear, but so many round glasses. Little alterations on the frame. Whatever. Also most of my creatures, as me-or-not, have two tall or long things coming off their heads. Tall ears 9often ragged like they have been chewn up and are scarred, antlers, (look at my icon right now), head-tails which are those things on the lithe-monsters heads that often have the demon/dragon tail spade on the tips, or tentacle like cables (like coming off Powersync's head). It doesn't feel right if someone doesn't have two big things coming off their head. Woogles critters ofter have those tendril things coming off their heads and that feels natural. I also make big round eye sockets a lot and that is related to the glasses. Most of my critters are boney and skinny and have ribs that are really pronounced. There's also a lot of be-lab coated people.

    Filo looks like a neat character. I love his(?) design.
