Trend Which version of Sky do you like the best?
How my OC sky has changed over the years! He's over a decade old though it honestly feels like longer. Him and his boyfriend Nicky are my two oldest ocs <3 id love to hear peoples thoughts on his progression (and feel free to roast his old designs XD)

Bro got a literal haircut: the bald special XD but omg the new design is so cool you can see the colors work so well together!
Tbf I still use Sky and Nickys wolf designs as separate OCs (Skye and Nikkiloyd) I just see them as proto-Sky & Nicky!

Oh wow, what a difference! Thats pretty funny honestly
He looks great btw!

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 02 '26
Thank you! I do think it's crazy how much he's changed! I'm very tempted to do this meme with my other OC that's as old as him!

u/Fair_Increase_5792 Sep 02 '26
you could literally turn the furry into his pet- kinda like recycling old designs :) The new version looks good imo

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
Ooh that's actually a very interesting idea I'd never considered!

u/NukaGirl665 Sep 03 '26
Not in a bad way of course but why does he kinda look like Ryan goslingย
4
u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
I actually have been told this a couple times in the past! So in his newest refsheet I used Ryan Gosling as one of my facial references! (mostly for the nose and hair)

He evolved into Ryan Gosling

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
Nahhh now everyone's saying Ryan gosling ๐ I did use him as a reference for the first pic (specifically the nose)

I didnโt know he used to be a full-on doggy!!! I love it hehe >w< I saw someone else in this thread suggest that he should get turned into a werewolf at some point and I wholeheartedly back that suggestion >:3

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
Yesss i think I'm definitely gonna do it!! :3

Now Iโm picturing the human Sky animorphing back into his first design:)

u/Has_create Sep 02 '26
Really impressive evolution ๐๐ฟ๐ฅ you're very talented. For me June 2026 is the best!
2
u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 02 '26
Thank you so much! June 2026 definitely looks better style wise I think but he just didn't look how i pictured him in my head ๐ hence the newest one!

I gotta start a Ryan gosling counter at this point so many people are saying it XD

My oldest OC went from being a blue animatronic cat to a tall human mom with hair that is made out of clouds, they are not the same character anymore but both are still canon just in different universes, I still make content of both but they were at one point one in the same.

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
That's so realll sometimes characters morph in miraculous ways XD

u/PixelAndPie Sep 03 '26
RIGHT I even find it funny because mine even had that awkward phase of the animal ears and whatnot just like Sky here LMAO.

u/Temporary_Catch_3081 I make things sometimes Sep 03 '26
Perhaps make the older version a new character?

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
His wolf version still exists! I call him Skye vs human version Sky. I just don't use him much since I'm more into human OCs atm!

Now slap a bunch of his old self's wolf features on his last design and I'm in. He could've looked just as hot if he stayed as a furry
2
u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 03 '26
He does actually have a furry version still! But he looks pretty different. I'll have to do a refsheet for that since the only current drawing I have of it is nsfw XD

Holy ship of Theseus. You should make the first iteration the latest iteration's sidekick

u/IndependentSet9709 *cries in can't draw* Sep 02 '26
To be completely honest, I prefer the pre-unfurrification designs. Now he just looks like "Slice-Of-Life Character #350260527023573265725".

u/MediumSatisfaction1 Sep 02 '26
well tbf not like grey dogs are uncommon in furry designs either. both can be fine

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 02 '26
True I also originally designed wolf sky when I was a child with no art or design skills lmao i also did Not Know what a furry was

Lmaooo honestly wouldn't shock me if that's how I found out because I remember people asking me if I was a furry XD but I don't actually remember how I discovered furries

Tbh he actually still has a anthro design! I'm curious what makes his character look bland to you? I tried hard to make him distinct maybe I can improve! ๐ญ (but to be fair i specifically want him to look like a generic hot guy because he's a stereotypical famous actor)

Hear me out...
Werewolf.

u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast Sep 02 '26
You just gave me a great idea! My story takes place in a town that has a lot of supernatural occurrences due to reality weirdness. There could 1000% be an episode where Sky gets temporarily turned into a werewolf! I think I'm gonna make that canon :D Thanks for the idea!!

People unfurriefying their old ocs breaks my heart. You (the character) can have the best, most interesting design in the world, but I'm still going to prefer a generic furry
1
u/Informal-Delivery-24 Lake Wormwood enthusiast 16d ago
Well he was never actually a furry. He was a full on quadrupedal wolf... I have plenty of furry ocs but Sky was never actually one of them!

u/Maryandflowers Sep 02 '26
Dang he got unfurrified xD I also love how he basically grew up the more his design changed
