Blue Harbor Creations

This page is all about the first, and one of the most important steps of getting a custom costume. Concept art, or a reference sheet, is an image depicting your character in a 2-3 view turn around. This is what we (or any creator you choose) reference directly when creating your costume.

The basics of concept art:

-Concept art should be clear, correct (markings match from view-view) and include a full FRONTAL, BACK, and SIDE view. For basic/simple designs a front and back view will suffice.
-There should be NO SHADING or gradients (We do not do shaded/blended gradients on costumes) on your character. The only colors shown should depict your markings and overall character design.
-Artwork should be G-PG in nature. We will absolutely not accept concept art of an adult nature.
-Your concept art should ideally depict your desired expression.
-Understand that your characters exact colors may not be available in fur form, or your preferred fur length(s).
-If there are any features that may obscure markings, make sure there is an unobscured view.
-it is good, but not a requirement, that your artwork depict any sort of padding (digitigrade legs, abs, belly etc.) you do want on the costume itself.

**We do not accept any AI generated artwork or 3D avatars. 

Below is an example of acceptable concept art.

 

 

Briar- ADOPTED

It is important that all of your characters markings are clearly and correctly depicted. Front to back to side views should align.
