Not so perfect {Karu}

Tuhka's picture
Just a new character idea of mine.

*Karu is male though not your noble and strong stag but small and weak.
*Instead of fighting, rather relies on his fast legs and flees. He's not a covard though and might rather try diplomacy first if possible.
*He's overly friendly and always pleased to get company, he enjoys physical touches, curling up next to another deer.
*He's not shy at all but actually loves flirting subtly.
*It's not hard to get him to play, but his nature is rather calm overall.
*size #19

I think my Mitsuki met him

I think my Mitsuki met him yesterday, or the day before. She was the mini doe with the nightfall pelt. c: I really like his design, and his mask too.

Always loved this set. The

Always loved this set. The black markings make it double-lavly.

Jinxyness - I was wondering

Jinxyness - I was wondering who I was hanging out with! Was nice spending time with yaa, sorry I went all unactive and Karu was just a lazy blop. Cool

Now that you mention, I guess

Now that you mention, I guess it does. Didn't even remember them anymore.
*shrug* well, this is a new character and most likely will change design-wise over time, this is just some base idea for him. <:

And yap. A lazy bugger for now after some massive bubble war 8|

That is a lovely picto, it's caught my attention on the map before. I really hope I'll be able to meet him soon, with Friiha or someone ;U; ♥

...well he would need to

...well he would need to change a lot to not look like nine anymore... at the moment there is literally just the dot of black on the butt that's different... ^^;

I don't know.. i remember there some drama with other players who had a couple containing a big and a small male, skullfaced deer, one slightly abusive the other kinda whimsy and devouted to the bigger... both certainly ment as a base idea too... not okay.

this one is basically a nine-copy... but it is okay? Just because their player is not active anymore doesn't mean their design became undone.

//two cents

Well here's the thing - It's

Well here's the thing - It's a base since I haven't invented his markings yet. A blank white sheet of paper, so to say.
I've got nothing else to offer as a reply. Gee, I'm not into copying stuff and I assure you the resemblance isn't intentional. I'm only sorry to hear you, or any others possibly finds this character a copycat which it was not meant to be.

And yeah, I remember that. Me 'n my friend still have our opinions to certain extents but we're keeping them to ourselves these days to avoid such dramas. It's rather common concept in the forest these days anyway so..

If this concept is bothering you or people here, I'll take this down then. I can only assure you though, that I get no pleasure from playing copied characters. I believe I do have the right to play a character with similiar set, or actually even the same set than someone else which the design is always based on to anyway, which is the case here too.

tracking. &hearts; i'd love

tracking. ♥
i'd love it if he and dmitri met, once i get his bio up, if that's okay (:

I always sucked at mixing

I always sucked at mixing black and white, eh. Loving the anatomy here.

On another note... While it occured to me, as well, I'm sure you didn't deliberately mean to copy a design. Both nine's and yours is heavily based on the in game set, and sharing set is fine. However, I suggest you keep the concept similarities in mind and try to work away from them as much as you can, out of respect, I suppose? I assume you'd have wanted the same, anyway.

and im overly obsessed with

and im overly obsessed with this one ♥ i'll definitely sneak around him

I know what you mean, Jin.

I know what you mean, Jin. And that's what I'm always aiming at when I make characters - Not only out of respect for the other designs but as an [wannabe-]artist I want to have the characters as original as possible [even if I suck being very imaginative for creating deep characters, meh]. Blatantly copying someone else's design is not my game.

I just want to make one point though - as a heads up.
Nine's design doesn't have any original markings or special features I would have taken. Nine is just a pure white deer and how many same looking white deer are out there, pure white does and stags that share the same looks? Same looking pure black does and stags? I think only stealing player-invented special features is what is really a reason getting toes stomped. For an example, just a skull headed red stag isn't copying Saosin. But if they took his two jaws on top, with white thorny antlers it definitely would be. *shrug*
Nine had merely pure white pelt and same mask as in the forest. I don't remember his horns/antlers, I suppose they didn't have any? But he looked the same as their in-forest set did and like I mentioned earlier, so is my character's design based on his in-forest looks.

But like I said earlier, I was and am planning to work his design further. Only now that apparently this made some feel uncomfortable, I'm gonna have to invent something fast instead of letting the ideas come to me so no more people will come barking at me that I steal shit.
Don't get me wrong - I see where you're coming from and I get what you're trying to tell me. But then again, why single me out and not the many other pretty much almost the same looking designs?

Also, thank you for the positive feedbacks, I'm glad you like him. Hope to meet ya all in the forest. :B

(I dunno why you're being accused. My Starling's design is very very very simple. The only unique thing about her is her tattoo, and there are many other doe characters on TEF which are also red and very simple. But hey I don't care, I don't complain because if I did I may as well make my design more unique... But just saying, no others have been accused before, and I haven't of copying someone else's, so it's not fair that you are suddenly being accused pfft)

I so much love him design c:

Thanks, you sexy bunch of

Thanks, you sexy bunch of people BD
And yaah well, I think there's no need to talk more about the earlier comments. We all have our opinions on things and despite it doesn't exactly feel nice hearing that I would have gone blatantly copying someone, I do take the hint from it. Don't want any more negativity around here. *shrug*
He'll change over time in any case, like all of my characters - develope to their own directions both inside and outside. It's very rare for me at least that a character will end up having their first design for the rest of their life and this fellow here doesn't even have his markings yet. Dunno what to give him.

And lemon, it was very nice meeting with you too, I think we've never hanged out before. At least can't recall. :D
Karu was nearly popping by contentness when getting so much huggles from dear lemonny. And I'm sure you will when I get to put his bio up, I just need to do some brainworking before that. ;D

Hahaha, she couldn't help but

Hahaha, she couldn't help but cuddle him to death! He's too cute!
And we haven't hung out recently, but Lemon and Quammy used to chill, back in the day! :3

I can't wait to see his bio! -cracks whip- >:3

Aw thank you ;; I'm fond of the picto myself even though I've always found it hard to like the gen 2 and 3 pictos very much. Happy to hear people find it recognizable. :D
