This is the first request I received for my open ended OC art request I put out ^.^ Thank you for being patient with me

As for the character themselves, this is Max ^.^ I had SO much fun drawing him, oh my gosh. Originally, I was at a loss in what sort of pose to put him in here, so I decided to be boring and settled for something very similar to how he looks like in a reference image:



I absolutely love his design so much, so I did not want to tamper with it too much. I really love how he is both ambigously cat and dog like. I kept his outfit relatively the same, aside from moving his belt a little bit more upwards. I absolutely adore his outfit, BTW, it is a really good mix of modern and older emo styled clothing, and it blends together so well. As for the expression I gave him, originally, I was going to give him a look more akin to his OG eyes and expression, since he is a grumpy sort of character, but I really wanted to give him a kind of :3 look cause I thought he would look cute with it ^.^;


I really hope this looks okay. I am not like entirely happy with it, and I kept going back to change things. I am very critical when drawing designs I really love because I want to capture their image, and I absolutely love Max's design so I hope I did the boy justice here.


Thats all for now :o the other requests will come in soon ^o^ Thank you for your patience

YOU MADE HIM SO CUTE!!! this made my day so much ;~; I also loved reading the thought process and your take on his design was just rlly cute, it makes me rlly happy to see that these kind of designs still make ppl happy!! Really loved that you nailed his dog cat hybrid-ness, as well as the hair gradient (actually looks so much like my hair looked in highschool heheh).. Gonna wrap u up in his big fluffy tail now!! Thank u so much🥺💕

OMG thank you!!! ^0^ I am glad you liked it. I try and treat designs like these with as much care as I can.

Funny thing, his hair colour scheme is like identical to mine :o AHHAHA so it looks like we kinda had similar hair styles then.

I was really careful to make sure that he did not come off as too cat or dog like, but rather just looking like a cute mammal, so Im glad that shows ^.^; I was worried it wouldn't translate well :o Also yesh, I made his tail extra fluffeh cause I thought it would be cute ^.^
