Yes, I did use this icon just to bother

Anyways this post was already going to be obnoxious anyways, so might as well go the whole way
So first of all,
anobjectinspace and I had discussed how ivy, stars, and swirls are pretty much the three markings that most interfere with each other and thus...difficult to make work together. I was looking at my Forest Spirit kiris though and realized that in the wrong colors - or even the wrong order - those markings wouldn't work at all, either. (Every one of the pups is born butt-ugly, with the tabby marking on top, and I have to fix it. It looks horrid)
So I decided to take those markings and challenge myself to see if I could come up with anything that looked good. I don't intend to ever actually make these, mind.
I started off with a jawbreaker sort of color scheme, because I still dream of someday making a jawbreaker custom design that looks good:

Then I just went for the old standby, varying shades of purple and blue. TBH, this is the only one that I would ever consider actually making.

Finally I decided to do a design based on the Vocaloid song, Dark Woods Circus. Because...because.

Looks kind of crap. But then I thought...DARK WOODS CIRCUS VOCALOID COSPLAYS. And proceeded to produce a billion designs. (Well, the line of thought was more like 'those designs look kind of like the 'henna' marking...I COULD MAKE AMIS OF THESE.')
They're based on the characters in the video (which are based on the Vocaloid characters...for those who don't know much about Vocaloids, they're computer programs that originated in Japan; you put in words/notes, and it sings it. Each program has an official character associated with it, who of course ends up starring in most of the videos to go along with the songs people create using the program).
First, Hatsune Miku, the 'diva' character in the video:

TBH to be true to the vid she probably should be a kiribou or maybe a lebeau since the diva has hooves...but the design was very difficult to make work and only really looked good on the poishy.
Next, the twins Kagamine Rin and Len (the two-headed clown in the vid). First I really wanted to make them mirwae because, well, I guess that's obvious:

But...well...IDK. I'm not sure how I feel about the design. So I tried mashing them into a single ami as well.

IDK which one I like more, so I did pup predicts with both. Yup.
Then Kaito, who was the cannibal/'beast' character:

I tried out some other amis but only lapire really fit. Am I the only one who's noticed how tragic/evil lapires can look?
Anyways, I also decided to throw in a design that was just inspired by some more abstract bits of the video. I call this the Ringmaster design, although it's not really accurate to the Ringmaster in the video, who's all-black with red (although he is a cat).

So - pup predicts. I'm not sure what genders I want them to be yet. So I just...mixed them all. Um.
Miku x Rin/Len 1 poishy

Miku x Rin/Len 2 poishy

Miku x Kaito poishy

Miku x Ringmaster poishy

Rin/Len 1 x Miku mirwae

Rin/Len 1 x Kaito mirwae

Rin/Len 1 x Ringmaster mirwae

(...yeah, I don't really think I have this 'mirwae' thing down. Maybe that's why I don't like them. I HAVE NOT YET DEVELOPED MIRWAE SKILLS)
Rin/Len 2 x Miku kiribou

Rin/Len 2 x Kaito kiribou

Rin/Len 2 x Ringmaster kiribou

Kaito x Miku lapire

Kaito x Rin/Len 1 lapire

Kaito x Rin/Len 2 lapire

Kaito x Ringmaster lapire

Ringmaster x Miku tazia

Ringmaster x Rin/Len 1 tazia

Ringmaster x Rin/Len 2 tazia

Ringmaster x Kaito tazia

(For those who wonder why the hell I keep posting these when no1curr really...it helps me, visually, to have them all laid out so I can see them side-by-side P: that's the primary reason. If I think I'm getting too obnoxious I might start screening them? I could make an aramii f-lock)
ALSO I'm thinking of offering commissions (for real money, not just AMG as I am now). I am so broke you guys. Recent examples of work by me, on request/commission: thus and thus. Thoughts? They would be pretty cheap, like
teenycom cheap.

Date: 2012-01-25 09:45 am (UTC)I like these though :-P The Ren/Lin 2 x Kaito kiri is my favourite favourite pup. And I LOVE Miku! WHY HAVEN'T YOU MADE A LUKA? Her not being in the vid is no excuse.

Date: 2012-01-25 07:22 pm (UTC)Really? I don't much like the R/L 2 x Kaito kiri. Did you not notice the color of the henna on that pup? Totally fugs IMO. I love most of the Kaito pups though.
I might end up just doing a general Vocaloids cosplay design and doing all of them. Something sort of fancy and tech-looking. Maybe swirl + spots.

YOU SHOULD DO THAT. I approve of swirl and spots.

Date: 2012-01-25 09:27 pm (UTC)YOU LIKE TO CRUNCH THEM?! Either gobstoppers are somewhat different from jawbreakers or you are related to Superman. Or are part shark. *eyes your jaws warily*
I WILL SWIRL AND SPOT EVERYTHING EVER
