(As I was looking at this, I realized the thumb is anatomically pointing the wrong way x.x, it'll be the first thing to "fix")
Not going to lie, this one had me on the edge of my nubs, clawing around so many entries that I wasn't sure what I was popping into. I couldn't be premature in the decision. So many options were bouncing back and forth that I was disoriented. But now that we've settled in, it's time to warm up, find a place to stretch, and get a glass of milk.
Oh wait, never mind, They INSIST they aren't a pouch. That changes everything.
Ah well, pouch or not, they really are a mouthful. I'm not sure if climbing in was a great idea.
I seem to have made this awkward... for both of us.
(Yes, I'm glad I didn't start too early. The top result really hopped around SO MANY times.)
Here is the final tally. It was really neck-and-lack-of-neck.
My base goal is colors and fixing the thumb. If I have time, I plan to expand the frame a little and add some interesting clothes options and a background.
As promised, this will be our project starting FebROOary, through HOP (formerly March), and all the way into ApeROO. I hope to get it done early, to slip in a little ApeROO Fool alteration for the first. No guarantees, but it'll be fun to try!
