DISCLAIMER: This is just a general guide as to what kind of things I like in a design - please don’t feel put off by it, you’re welcome to offer characters that may not fit this criteria anyway! I like to keep an open mind - equally I am currently looking for characters I really enjoy drawing and looking at, so designs that possess any of my preferred traits are a priority.

I’ll pretty much automatically decline any characters that have NSFW art, baby fur content, art depicting hate symbols, etc etc.
