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.

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