User blog:Phoenix Flight/how to make realistic characters: a guide

ok SO i've decided to make a guide on how to make your cats realistic. haha im gonna get killed for making this-- i am obviously a cat expert because i am on tumblr B)

Appearances
So appearances. These can get pretty unrealistic. And obviously that has to be the first thing I go over.

Fur Colors
There are a lot of fur colors that are natural, like black and grey. Then there are ones that, unless they belong to a human or w/e, are totally unreal, like purple. (humans could dye their cats' fur but i'd expect that from mostly housecats psh).

Here is a guide on pelts.

Also, male calicoes/tortoiseshells are really rare. And I've seen people make albino cats (on like deviantart) with faint patterns. Albinoes are pure white. They don't have patterns.

Eye Colors
Okay. Just gonna get this out of the way: Albinoes are the ONLY cats with red eyes. No other cats have red eyes.

The more common eye colors are: Amber, blue, green, brown, hazel, and gold/yellow. Also, I can't say for sure, but purple eyes are very rare, but a real eye color.

Personalities
mary-sues arent cool
