Not sure how often I'm going to be able to drop by and post, but I'd like to contribute what I can. By special request, I'm going to be doing avatars of the top 6 (at the least). Here are sketches of the layouts I have in mind for each. If you would like a change to your character or have specific colors in mind, please let me know before the end of the week!

From top left to right: Timbones, Siroc, & Gilhert
From bottom left to right: Marrow, Bahto, and Marunae
Planning to have Marrow's eyes and the fire glowing green, making Bahto a white colored timber wolf (https://64.media.tumblr.com/cc6a4acd56478d5899da06e9e98c0baf/6f2c19fcaa9beef7-74/s500x750/3ad86a48775aea7cb681ba599312ce28ab46b745.jpg) (as opposed to an arctic wolf) unless that is wrong, and thinking I'll put Marunae in her summer coat rather than the winter phase since they will be in a much warmer climate.
Hello, Vizon. These look absolutely astounding so far and I can't wait to see the finished products.
Quotemaking Bahto a white colored timber wolf (as opposed to an arctic wolf) unless that is wrong,
Bahto is an arctic wolf actually and he has a very stark white coat without much variation. As you've included him in the avatar as well (and thank you for that), Ferro is much more akin to a Timber Wolf, with the reddish brown fur and different variations.
Thank you for doing these. They really do look absolutely great so far.
Hey, thanks for clarifying! I'm glad I asked.

"They deserved it, right?"
It's so good! Thank you so much, Vizon!
I'm in love. Thank you for these gifts.
These are lovely! The green are all I would really have made note of. They all look STUNNING. Thank you so mich!!
That is to say you nailed the look i was going gor. Yes to the green eyes!

Does that mean you don't want green glowy light or...you do?
Hmm. Working on Timbones now. He's finished aside from his complete lack of clothing. I'm wondering if I should give him native Akimel O'odham or Navajo clothing or like... Davy Crocket type fringed attire or American pioneer style duds?
Oh well. Executive decision!

"C'mon, Samson!"
Oh this is beautiful, thank you so much!
Summer coat suits me perfectly :)

"Just Fireflies."
You've made me smile until my face ached. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, but be sure to thank Airan as well. Without his sponsorship, these might not have happened (or at least not in a timely way) as my free time is sparse these days! It was fun all the same, bringing these characters to life. I wish I had time to do more than the top six.
Absolutely amazing, Vizon, thank you!
Thanks Vizon, I just got to see all of this! I'm so glad you included an accurate blue death-feigning beetle! ;D
As far as the clothes go, this is what I pictured Tim wearing - the Oldburrows aren't well off (or fancy) folk, so they make do with what they've got and prefer loose fitting clothing that gives them an advantage against the dessert, even though they do have a homestead and a traditional "pioneer" farm lifestyle.
These are a treat, thanks again!
