Tori Refsheet

Ref sheet for the new Foxbird.

I really don't need more subby characters. Or more foxes, or birds. Or even more blue characters. I already even have an intersex girl that's prone to wearing chastity cages. This character fills no niche and solves no problems...

But, inspiration's gonna do what inspiration's gonna do. So, welcome in, new foxbird!

I decided to go with "Tori"! Given the character exists due to a translation of a japanese game, I thought it kinda made sense to reach back in that direction to find a name- Tori is apparently Japanese for 'bird'. But it also happens to be a normal sounding English name so I don't have to worry about people wondering why she has a Japanese sounding name without acting/looking culturally Japanese like I might with a more traditionally Japanese looking name, (I don't know the first thing about Japan or it's people so I could never pull it off), so yeah, I think this'll do!

    Why not try a different more niche animal for the next creature? I bet that could bring up some creativity to make you're own flare on an obscure creature. Something that you truly been curious on. <3

    You're not wrong, I just need to somehow stop being addicted to birds long enough to make something other than a bird. I feel like I could make various birds forever and never get bored. :P

    You may be right about that. But she is adorable so it doesn't really matter. In the end just make what you enjoy making and you won't get bored.

    I also really like how you make intersex characters.

  • I'm actually super glad that someone does some high quality caged intersex animations. That is totally my nieche within a niche. Often it's dudes wearing the cages and the intersex dominating (nothing wrong about that) so thank you for making sth for my nieche!
    If you're referring to animals in of nieche, here are some ideas from the top of my head:

    Anything prehistoric; maybe a take on dinosaurs according to newer science (protofeathers,lips, more colorful) Or an archeopterix, since you seem to enjoy birbs.
    Maybe an armadillo, or a hermelin (those ferrets kings wore)
    Or a Wolpertinger(just Google that or anything from folklore)
    Maybe a liger (good for a sub since infertile)

    What about other feathery creatures like raptors or avali? Those are more niche / uncommon but still not too far from birds

    furred dragons are a bit rarer, even more so fluffy dragons with slits, It could also be a way to get either a sub for slit chastity or even slit play if that tickles your fancy. I am of course super biased as they're my favorite.

    You're exceptional at portraying birds the way they deserve to be, that is for sure. I believe it's one of the most charismatic aspects of your already expressive art!

  • Looking for some clarification. On the last image featuring Tori, she is labeled as intersex, and the last animation, she is labeled as transfem. I would like official confirmation on which is true. (Please be transfem, I would like to see more of us)

    I saw your other comment, and I hate to kill the excitement but I do tend to personally think of my characters as intersex rather than trans- just sorta 'born that way'. There are a few reasons for this, but none of them come from any negative opinion of the trans community. :P

    However, I also have absolutely no issue if people view them as trans and don't typically correct people if they're referred to that way, unless specifically asked like in this case. At the end of the day I just want people to like the stuff I make so you can think of them however maximizes your enjoyment!

    Thank you for your response! I'm a bit disappointed that Tori isn't conically trans, but eh, what you gunna do. I will headcanon her as trans and wish thee a lovely day.

    oh my GOD a wolpertinger would be so so cool. it combines things that I think Ruaidri has already done (deer and birds) and adds a bunny to the mix!!
