Been doing a lot more character trading lately, and I thought this might help people interested in my characters or who are designing a custom. Most of these are loose ideas and thoughts, sometimes whether or not I like the design is up to chance! Favourites are here, for reference.

LIKES

Difficulty: simple to medium, i like to draw my characters so their design shouldn't be too hard

Form: feral/anthro

Species: equines, canines, felines, dinos, dragons

Fandom characters: MLP, Miraculous, Horseland, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Pokémon, really any horse show

Aesthetics/themes: cozy, wintery, fancy, desserts, girly/feminine, magical, galaxies (in moderation), angels, royalty, holidays (any), old traveler

Colours: pinks, light blues, (some) fire reds, (some) bright oranges, green (only on eyes), cream, natural colours, some black, gold, silver

DISLIKES/EHH

Difficulty: hard/complicated

Form: humanoid (just picky)

Species: most closed species, centaurs

Fandoms: Steven Universe, country humans (neither of these are necessarily dislikes, i just don't... like them.)

Aesthetics/themes: satanic/demon/devil/etc. markings (DON'T offer these, please!), eyebleed, '60s/'70s/'80s stuff, super bright summery characters, dark designs

Colours: eyebleed (again), tons of neons, green (unless it's just the eyes), muddy colours, tons of mixed, smudged, or runny colours

I really like accessories or things that could help determine a character's personality, they are really fun to work with! I do not have any favourite designers and couldn't care less about the design's "quality". I'll redesign it (if allowed) if I find something to be unfitting for my plans.
