I'm super indecisive and am having trouble deciding on the type of paw soles I want this bun to have, so I put together a poll about it! I'm not going to base my choice on which paws to choose entirely on the winner of this poll, but I would very much like input on what people think, including any suggestions you may have in the comments below ^u^
First up is Paw A) Plain - I originally wanted to have a bit of a fluffy look to these but found that I couldn't pull it off in a way that I could reproduce quickly and reliably. Instead this is just a plain look with them soft toesies. No design, so if someone should be stuck on the bottom there, their details would be easier to make out ;3
Next up is Paw 2) Only Pad Color - @pawdrugs suggested a version without pads but with the coloration OF pads for that extra visual interest. The pink colored area has no three dimensional difference from the shape of the plain paw and is just a design on the sole.
Finally is Paw The Other One) Full Pads - Unlike the previous design, the pink on this bunny sole is actually soft three dimensional paw pads. I should've done a side view to show that aspect better but I forgor. They're almost rubbery in feel and add a bit of grip with the the slight texture difference.
Please vote for the sole that you like the looks and properties of the most (you can imagine the paw(s) pressing against your face if that helps you decide 😉) and if you have any comments or suggestions about paw design feel free to leave them below, I really appreciate it ^u^
Which Reba paw soles do you prefer?
Looks like y'all ended up massively preferring some degree of detail on the paw soles as opposed to none, with the majority of votes breaking for full paw pads. I still haven't fully decided on which to go with but I think I agree that the plain paws are a bit lacking. If I could've made them fluffy in a way that was easy to draw reliably I might feel differently, but it wasn't in the cards.
Thank you for participating in the poll and assisting me in this. I still have to do a handful of expressions and the shading and highlighting of the three main views of Reba before I can finish up the model sheet, so I've got some more time to consider the merits of actual paw pads against the simple pad design 🤔 Hope y'all have a good week! <3
