I really love that Miyu sketch!  :D  Somehow it looks like a prequel or sequel to this paint from BlackBy on dA. Some differences in design, but the similarities are still funny!

Yeah! It didn't occur to me until after I'd drawn it, but it does :>

Bwee hee, yay, more fox-like and no more odd quasi mohawk thing going on up top. XD

Lol, is that first one supposed to mean "I'M OUTTA HERE!"? o3o

 

And that second one with Krystal is pretty cute. c:

These sketches are really cool. Fox avoiding its fandom, and a nice pic of Krystal. Like the sand-color jacket with the dark blue suit.

 

Also, something I forgot to say :

Love it when artists go on a more realistic approach on Starfox's character design! Your design is much better than the assault one (and most recent designs by the way). I also like that you applied the same technique for Krystal on your Tumblr.
I wonder if you applied the same "fox" characteristics on her or if you gave her another fox species's attraits to her? Just curious. Personally, I went for a gray fox species when I redesigned her for your last year contest.

I've read several times that she's supposed to be an Arctic Fox, which appear blue sometimes in certain lighting, so that's what I tried to draw from when I was doing her.

I thought that too when reading forum topics and found out some arctic foxes do have a blue-ish fur. But I haven't seen any official statement saying that Krystal was based on an actual arctic fox, not even on the Dinosaur Planet archives. I don't know if Rare had the arctic fox in mind when designing Krystal, or if she was just painted blue to stand out of the crowd. So I'm reduced to speculate. Some people even try to say that Krystal's an arctic fox "because she wears a metal bikini and a loincloth"... Nothing to do about oversexualization?! Yeah...

I've been looking at many fox species and then I decided to design Krystal over a grey fox species. But I guess it's about personal preferences. And your "arctic fox" Krystal is still great.

Falco too makes me wonder what species he comes from. Sure he's designed over an Edward's pheasant, but he still has the feel of a bird of prey. The only raptor birds he can be affiliated to are the osprey (the closest to a falconidae), the bateleur eagle (for colors) and the black breasted buzzard (for shape). For Lylat's Last Stand, I went with the buzzard (mainly because the SNES design required a mohawk Falco).

I also had ideas on Panther and Leon. Since panthers don't have pointy ears and slit eyes, he could be a cat pretending to be a panther. And Leon could be an actual venomian lizard. But these are only headcanon thingies that I imagined over Assault's species-incorrect character designs.

And sorry if I'm bothering you with that kind of stuff.

You're not bothering me at all! Talking about thist stuff is fun. Krystal was already blue in Dinosaur Planet, so that's a more likely reason as to why she's still blue and not actually because she's an arctic fox (especially since we all imagine that she lives in some kind of jungle type environment). A grey fox is probably more likely.

 

Haha, I love the idea of Panther pretending to be a panther. That could really work with his character. I think Leon is supposed to be a chameleon though. He's got those spikes on his back, but I like to think maybe they're just a part of his suit.

Maybe Panther it's just half-Panther or has that ancestry (he's doesn't seem 100% normal cat). Kinda like some people really like to hold on to their roots (whether is a personal matter or just to give an impression), even though they never seen that country in their lives or barely know about it. That could also apply to species.

 

Leon was always a chameleon in my eyes. They don't really have spikes. Iguanas do.

I do love that Miyu drawing, though perhaps the most attention-grabbing element of it is the design of the hat.  It looks awesome. xD

Great job as always, myu. The color and expert shading really do bring that drawing of Krystal to life! :-P
