So this is the result of doing nothing.
I tried my hand at anthropomorphic characters (see anthro!JaketheDog (upper left) and anthro!CaketheCat (lower right)). Experimented with folds and some little details as well. I'm sorry; the hands didn't turn out right again.
This isn't final, as it isn't colored yet. I was thinking of using either colored pencils (which I'm comfortable with) or try colored pens (but it might turn out really bad). Also, I might add other characters since there are spaces which feel really empty.
