Familiar Fuzzy Faces (Patreon)

Thank you all so much for your feedback on my last discussion post. You've given me so many ideas, I can't wait to start drawing! In the meantime, have some concept art. I've decided to focus on building characters up from a single unique shape, and I'm having pretty good results so far! 

Not every character will make the jump from the Pandoraverse to Fuzzbutts, but many will. Here are a couple idiots y'all might recognize. ;)

Virgil (Male, Spotted Hyena). A mysterious figure from Sunny's past....who, unfortunately, quite likes reappearing in Sunny's present. He is maybe the only creature alive that can get happy-go-lucky Sunny instantly bristling and snarling. Virge is pretty flattered of that fact~

Frankie (Female, Rottweiler). Sunny's sister. Sunny's parents are quite wealthy, so when their tiny son started begging them for a sibling, they went right down to the orphanage and picked out a puppy for him. Dubbing her Francine, they figured she'd make a fine companion to keep their son pacified.....but little Franny proved to be a bit more rough-and-tumble than the labradors were used to, bossing and biting little Sunny and wrestling him into submission. They almost returned her, but instead opted to pick out another pup, who Sunny did end up actually enjoying (yet unnamed doggie Cloudburst). Frankie grew up the black sheep among dogs, often unjustly punished and written off as a problem child. But the more her family tried to mold her into a proper young lady, the more rebellious Frankie became, until she eventually moved out and never looked back. Frankie works as a mechanic and is deeply protective of the ones she loves, which includes her adoptive little sister and (somehow) Sunny. She is a big ol butch lesbian and pretty much a straight-up export of Phoenix.

Priscilla (Female, Sphinx Cat) Owner of a beauty salon and a connoisseur of fancy wigs. Lives in one of the nicer lofts of Bruce's apartment complex. Prissy, fashionable, vain, demure, in a deep love affair with string. A bite-sized package of sass and gossip. Extremely nosy and catty, privy to all local gossip. A tiny transbian. Her friendship with Bruce began the day they were both in the apartment laundry room. The washing machine was designed for larger animals and Prissy leaped on top to drop in her clothes, but slipped and fell in. This prompted a rescue from Bruce, who maybe didn't have the most sensitive remark upon tugging out what looked less like a cat and more like a shivering, wrinkly, half-drowned ballsack. Priscilla then attempted to claw his eyes out. After the scuffle, the pair shared their gripes about navigating a world not built for smaller animals, and ended up clicking. 

Cupcake: (Female, Grizzly Bear) Cupcake, but she's a bear. Pony Cupcake is already glorious and perfect and cannot be improved by changing her name. Cupcake was adopted at a young age by a family of tiny circus animals.(Adoption is quite common in the world of Fuzzbutts, especially as so many animals can bear so many young at once, many end up in the foster system). While Cupcake looks like a grumpy bear, she loves her family dearly and has learned to restrain her immense strength to handle them all with care. This is fortunate because her partner/boss (and town idiot) is also on the smaller side, and frequently spotted all up in Cupcake's personal space.
