Description Been working on this on & off all day today!

Left is 'Nuka, whom I used to be.
Middle is Nanu, what I really am.
Right is Sonar, what I want to be.

Used [this] stock btw. I didn't leave this flat colours because I'm lazy, 'cause I think it just kind of holds it own without needed to be shaded or highlighted etc. I wanted to be able to compare all 3 properly. :] I ended up colouring Nanu with TOTALLY different markers & changed a few things, from the [comic] , which looks much much better! There's a high probability of me mixing the wing designs, all in due time~!

Every one of them is so lovely!! Too bad I never got to draw 'Nuka while she was in the spotlight. But I hope there's nothing wrong with drawing her along with your newer Nanu!

I'm a fursona whore. I have made like...so many, and yet...I am still unable to choose which is most like me, or represents me best.

This is an awesome drawing, I love all three, although Sonar's just gorgeous and probably my favorite.

Awesome idea.

Nanu actually reminds me a little bit of Ixy. Except TOTALLY not emo-like. More in the cute way.

All of them are very nicely done.

Not sure if its just how the pose came out but Nanu seems to be a bit more introverted/shyer than Nuka and Sonar. I could also see where it would be intended since you do strike me as more of a private person than others who regularly post online.

Also loving how Nanu's clothing reflects how freaking cold it gets in up-state new York.

Kittn622 [2009-02-18 15:51:17 +0000 UTC]

omg.. i just saw a glimpse of Ixy in Nanu for a second! Ixy =

i think this is great. although i seriously can't remember 'Nuka ever having black wings.. or i'm just on crack. or a bad friend for not remembering! DX

either way, i like how you've got all three of them here! Nanu fits you perfect and i love saying that name

gotta say.. i love when you make new characters. it not only gives you that rush of creativity, i also feel the rush of motivation to draw! so yay! lol <3

I love Nanu's stripey hoodie. If you decide to give her wings, she's gonna look even cuter than she already is! 8D

Inkfall [2009-02-18 03:06:40 +0000 UTC]

Love the colors much better this time around, I think the scheme is more appealing. And I really like that you mixed up the eye colors, the colors you had previously didn't seem to stand out enough to me. I'm looking forward to seeing more art of Nanu now!

Nanuka In reply to Inkfall [2009-02-18 03:11:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! It is kinda hard to differentiate the glove/socks from the base colour at the moment, but I figure a shaded image may work that better. Glad the eyes passed off well, also. :] (your icon made me think you were Kittn at first...XD lol)

Inkfall In reply to Nanuka [2009-02-18 03:17:48 +0000 UTC]

Well I definitely think you've developed her very nicely :]
Haha Yeah I think she has an icon of it set to her FA account? It is her character, any way

I really like the comparison between your characters, and the fact the three of them represent a part of yourself

Nanuka In reply to bah-zero99 [2009-02-18 02:56:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It'll just be a problem sometimes to choose between Sonar & Nanu when working with inspiration (since 'Nuka is 'retired' & such, lol.

bah-zero99 In reply to Nanuka [2009-02-18 05:14:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, the 3 of them are very good, even if 'nuka is retired, I still think you could use her as a side character of sort.

I've always liked Sonar's desing a lot, And Nanu looks pretty good as well, for being the "new girl"

S'no prob. You can use what I did from the comic which was: Black (ears etc), Mocha Light (base), Dark Brown (freckles) and Parchment (socks)? xD lmao.

sorjei In reply to Nanuka [2009-02-18 03:10:07 +0000 UTC]

oo yes i have all those other than parchment(but wheat or light grey should work?) XD
prisma's names make me so hungry/thirsty XD

Nanuka In reply to sorjei [2009-02-18 03:13:08 +0000 UTC]

Wheat would work fine! It's actually what I used on 'Nuka's mouth & such, which is very very close. O: And I agree, lmfao~ There's like a 6 course meal in my box of markers...xD

Feathered-Cat [2009-02-18 02:49:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see that you changed the brown fur color? Or is that my monitor? 'Cause I notice the grey fur color is that odd greenish tone and you didn't comment whether that was my monitor, or you used a grey like that.

That aside, I love the eyes. I think the cool colors work a LOT better with the browns that chocolate one and orange color around it. :3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nanuka In reply to Feathered-Cat [2009-02-18 02:55:00 +0000 UTC]

Yep! Changed quite a few things, the 'socks' along side that as well since they're a bit lighter now. It's not your monitor at all, lol. The eyes definitely don't seem, so...intrusive? on the design, I think. She had a lot going on with the face so I tried toning it down. =3 Thanks btw!

Feathered-Cat In reply to Nanuka [2009-02-18 14:03:46 +0000 UTC]

Mmmm ... I like light greys. They're rather pretty. I'm not sure why.

I think the eyes stand out well, but not in a way where it's like "HOLY SHIT" stare at them.

DIN0LICH [2009-02-18 02:48:49 +0000 UTC]

Its cool to see that there are obvious influences from both characters, but at the same time Nanu is all her own.

Nanuka In reply to DIN0LICH [2009-02-18 02:51:11 +0000 UTC]

I'm definitely satisfied with Nanu right now; don't really think there'd be much else to change (aside from the star idea on her back whenever I get around to a ref) even though I've only drawn her 3 times now. Everything just seemed to have fallen into place. =] Thanks, your approval is definitely appreciated!

It looks amazing. I'm just a little sad that you changed Nanu's eyes. But its your character, you can do what ever you want with her. ^^

Nanuka In reply to PenccoonBandit [2009-02-18 02:41:48 +0000 UTC]

I was contemplating it for a bit really; as much as I love orange it didn't seem to quite fit. So I did the right a hazel/blue like my own eye(s) and the left yellow to continue with the warm colour theme (and accidentally hint at the green in 'Nuka's eyes, lol). XD; Thanks though~

Tanginello [2009-02-18 02:32:26 +0000 UTC]

This is pretty cool. It's neat to see all your characters laid out like this (:
Also, I'm always really impressed with people who can change their fursonas. It takes a lot to make a major change like that.

Nanuka In reply to Tanginello [2009-02-18 02:34:47 +0000 UTC]

I'm considering doing one of Ruby, NAreiko and Ixy as well (if you remember them?) to show the change up until 'Nuka - but that's on a backburner for now. Thanks! It's been quite a feat, despite how fast I've been drawing Nanu....D:

Tanginello In reply to Nanuka [2009-02-18 03:59:03 +0000 UTC]

I do remember them. You've changed fursonas a lot, now that I think about it o_o I am impressed.
It'd be cool to see the whole progression, but I can understand that it definitely wouldn't be a first-priority. But a timeline of fursonas would be neat since you have so many and they're so different.
