Description
Full View, please...Whoo. o@; I debated this one back and forth in my head for a while, trying to figure out the best method to use. Finally, I just decided to put it to a vote. XD Annn' the winning vote was to use swimsuits for the reference piccy as opposed to using clothes that have the fur color patterns sewn onto them.
But, I wound up doing a little of both, as you can see.
The point of this was to show the various colors and patterns of fur of my characters that are hidden by their clothing. It's not my style to draw things naked, sooo I wasn't about to do that. Instead, this is what I came up with. oo The poses are dull because you don't need an exciting pose for a ref piccy; you just need the information.
So there it is. oo
A few notes about some of the rabbits' fur patterns. I made a few changes to those of Chrome and Silver. Gen's are pretty much the same. The ones on their ears are indicated by the arrows; the ones on their heads ('cept Genetta's) are, too. The patterns "point" forwards on their heads and upwards on their backs. They also "point" towards the tips of their ears.
Bolt's fur color differs from his father's because he got some traits from his mother, too. However, he still has that weird li'l marking on his ankles. oo
Also, as a general rule of thumb, notice that the color of their bellies is the same as that of their muzzles.
I guess that's all there is to say about this one. oo
Edit: One more thing. I -hate- trying to draw toes. Not just drawing them, but figuring out where to put them; IE animal style or human style. x.X;

And so it was, you just had to do something like this in the winter when things such as this are done in the summer. Still, I think it's a neat idea, and the way you did it is better than I first expected. This will also help me out when I draw your characters. I already noted the hand color change for Korosu. Anyway...it's-a comment time. I'll go with this in order...
First is Metal-2, as always with you. His colors are like I always pictured them, and I do have a sketch of him in shorts saved in my folder, but it was not colored. I think he looks very nice in sandals. Hey...I can tell you're improving with those feet. The head and quill angles shown beside him will be useful to me. Thanks for those. If I'm right, I think I finally notice a neck there. That was all done nicely. Good job on him.
And now for Korosu, the best Sonic fan character in the world! Poor guy looks so blank, though, in his expression, and it made me laugh. It looks funny, actually. I like how that was done. For some reason, I always thought his chest fur color was gray, and I think I made a beach picture of that long ago and far away with that color. I like this better because he needs SOME white, too, you know. I know the arms already, so that's good, but the hands caught my eye right away. I always saw and knew them to be gold, but since you changed that, I noted it in my notebook to remind me. I know his legs and tails, but the feet color was new to me. I wrote that down, too. Korosu's sandals are oh so cute! Look at those fuzzy toes!! ...Erm...I like the picture is what I'm trying to say. Yeah. Excellent work!
Next is Bolty the Great! Again, the blank look, just like his dad. I just had to giggle. He has less gray markings than Korosu and Guntou, but he still looks great. I must say, the way you did the tails is really cool and detailed. You did very well with Bolt. He looks good with sandals, too.
Oh, Chrome is very cute. She looks simple in color, but that's all that was needed for this. I must be used to that fur texture of yours. Her feet are what really caught my eye. I like how you made then different from the hedgehogs and foxes. They look more bunny-like this way. You did a very good job on those ears again, which are very tricky at almost any angle.
And now for the other bunny, Silver. Her markings changed a little bit, so I noted that along with the other things. I like the change, too. The different pattern makes her more of a character to just be herself. I see she still has that hair, which is nice and fits her style. Again, I like how you do the bunny feet. Good work on this one.
And lastly, Genetta. It's the first time I was able to see how her legs are and stuff. They give me a lot of trouble when I try to sketch her. This will help me improve. You even had her hair untied, and that's different. It kinda reminds me when I dare to untie my long hair, only it's NOT as long as hers. The way you show her ears and their pattern will also be useful for me when I try her out again. Her feet are different from any of the others, but that's fine. It will just take me practice to become familiar with that. She also looks taller than the others, plus the long hair makes her look that way. You had to make the picture taller just for her. How nice.
The whole picture and each character is very neatly done. It will be a reference to me for future artwork. Of course, I especially like Koro, but they all look great. I like it. Good job! *rain of cookies for you*
