JUSTICE
Reference Sheet
A basic ref sheet for Justice. Mostly getting into specific details and specs. It was hard to get the colors right, but basically the yellow/gold falls into three categories; jewelery, organic, clothing. I'd like the jewelery to look like 'gold' or 'metallic gold' as much as possible. Next, the 'organic' parts (i.e. colored parts of inner ear, eyes, nails, colored part of fur around eyes) to be somewhere in the realm of yellow/gold/honey but different than the jewelery. And lastly, the clothing (if any) to be yet another different shade. I'm not too picky on exactly what color or code. I just like to have these three categories to be differentiated, especially since he only has essentially two colors on his whole body.
Note on jewelry: Justice has tons of different jewelry so what's pictured in the ref sheet is just an example. You can go by that, or make up something similar. Sometimes he only wears a few pieces of jewelry, sometimes a ton (though he always wears his 'teeth caps' and atleast a couple cuffs/earrings on the ears. Placement/style for the earrings/ear cuffs can be anything too, but the one I pictured are average types he wears and are simple. He almost always wears his 'tail cuff' which is at the base of his tail. So jewelry can be added anywhere basically, and he especially likes cuffs. Examples: a large 'half-cuff' over the top of his muzzle, full-cuffs around his hocks, full forearm cuffs, etc. Pretty much the only things I ask not to be done would be things more meant for a human like nose piercings and lip piercings. They wouldn't really work on him anyways. 'Human' piercings that might be okay once in a while would be a septum/'bull ring' through the nose, or eyebrow rings. Either way, his piercings/jewelry is always gold. Some gold & black ones would be permitted but i feel they'd blend into the fur color too much.
Note on clothing: As with the jewelry, Justice has tons of different clothing also, though he tends to not wear too much at a time. All his clothes are original and his own designs. So with this there is plenty of artist freedom from you, though of course id just want you to stay with his 'style' and colors. One thing he nearly always wears is some sort of skirt. It's usually on the shorter side, not going back his 'knee'. It can be a simple skirt, but typically it is a type of pleated skirt with 'panels' (picture gladiator skirts). With the skirt it's usually black and gold. For tops, he typically doesn't wear just a straight-up shirt. Often it's some sort of metal chain top he designed or something resembling light armor. He gets very creative with the tops, which are mostly made of leather and/or metal. He doesn't like to be too covered up there though. If you are ever stuck on what to have him be wearing you can always shoot me a note and i can come up with something on the fly or even give a simple sketch. I know that sometimes specificness is easier to work by than artistic freedom.
If you want to go a different route, Justice likes to dress up fancy sometimes. This could include a long cape or cloak (I usually picture it as being gold-colored lining on the inside, with a black outside, and a large gold ankh down the back.). He wears 'shoulder pads' with black and/or gold feathers along it. Sometimes he will just wear a feather boa or will have his cloak/jacket/etc lined as the neck with the feathers. These feathers are more on the fluffy side instead of stiff. He does wear the classic Egyptian 'head shawl/dress' sometimes too.
Note on 'weapons': Justice doesn't always carry things around with him, but if wanted than there are a few choices. A few would be a crook and flail, scimitar, or sickle. Things similar to those. His one weapon that is never replaced and is special to him is his staff. I don't actually have an exact design for this yet so it'd probably be best not to draw him with it yet.
Note on fur/hair & coloring: The pictures I have of him so far don't show any with his hair. Though he does indeed have long hair a lot of times. I'd like most of his pictures from now on to show this hair. It would be jet black and long. The length doesn't have to be exact but anything past his shoulders is fine, you can bring it down to the floor if you really want. Usually he would wear it as is without any styling, but a long ponytail would work, or a partial braid (where as just the top near the scalp is braided, and it eventually ends in loose hair like a ponytail). I see it sort of like a mix between a lion's mane and an 80's hair band style. On the poufy side, but not too crazy. It can curl around to his side and even to his front from it's length if wanted, or just all stay put behind his shoulders. Also, all his fur is the same color of jet black (besides the small area around/under his eye which is gold/yellow). His hair is basically the same color. The only slight difference would be the black and yellow skin on his inner ears. The black there is slightly lighter since it's skin rather than fur.
