For a while now, I've been wanting to re-interpret the way I draw fumis to be more accurate to how I intended them to be in the first place. I basically plan on drawing them in a different style and making very minor additions.

The changes planned so far include:
-Slight change of eye-shape, new eyes have larger iris-to-sclera ratio and as a result look more gecko-like
-Very slight changes to how the face and ears are drawn, difficult to describe but nothing major at all, you can see a sketch of it below
-Paws will be much wider but also flatter and will have some webbing between the toes, this will help them from sinking into the sand in their natural environment, and also assist them in swimming to catch fish. I plan on drawing their paws splayed out more often, I've only been drawing them with the toes tightly together. 
-The swirls of the smoke will be visible through the smoke sack when it is puffed up, working on a different style to draw the smoke in. 
-They will have dark rims on the upper-eyelid rather then eyelashes, but painted fumis can still have eyelashes (just in case some are unaware, painted fumis are what everyone right now owns, they are domestic fumis as opposed to wild ones). They now have a fully functioning nictitating membrane (third eyelid), which helps them clear sand from their eyes, this eyelid is transparent and is the same color as the inner flesh of the fumi. 

Here is the first sketches I've done of these idea implements, it is not final

I will also be reworking the species information, which might be put on weebly so there can be multiple images on one page and multiple pages?? I plan on making a page for very general anatomy/appearance and information that will be the only thing REQUIRED to be read by fumi owners, but there will be links going into full detail on the features of the fumi (like the ears, tusks, ect) on separate pages. There will be a chart that shows the fumi breeds in relation to each other visually (natural: wild fumi, | semi-natural: mutant fumi, painted fumi, dwarf fumi | Synthetic: snow fumi, gummi fumi), a sort of ancestry chart between them which also shows breeding compatibility. 

An ownership list shall be made, changes to the fumi ownership rules and breeding rules/guidelines shall be made (the rules will be more loose, I'm not making them more strict). 

I would love feedback on these changes!
