I Finally Updated My Fursona/mascot's Ref Sheet Since Art Fight Is Going To Be In A Month! It's Funny

I finally updated my fursona/mascot's ref sheet since Art Fight is going to be in a month! It's funny since he's last ref sheet I made for him was from 2019!!

Anyways, here's info/notes about him and NeonBrite (the series/project that he's the main character of) (all underneath the read more)!

The character of main focus is a brightly colored river otter by the name of Wispy Brighton. He is a 25-year-old convenience store clerk and overall stoner slacker and professional asshole. He lives in a giant metropolitan area called Bright Light City, known for its incredible nightlife, neon signs, clubs, bars, and many many entertainment districts, shopping centers, and whatever else that you can ever think of to do in a giant city.

He happens to work the same shift as his roommate and friend Dave Fitzgerald, a 23-year-old deadpan and reserved goat-rabbit hybrid who finds Wispy to be a loud asshole but he doesn't really care about much anyway so he puts up with him.

Wispy, strangely enough, has the ability to use interdimensional travel whenever he so desires, thus has been questioned to have ancestry of extradimensional or galactic origin but he's never cared to look further.

As known by most who know him (especially Dave and his best friend Emmett Thornton, a 25-year-old skater weasel), He goes on his interdimensional adventures more than he does his job or even more than he pays rent so he's only home a few days a week though he spends plenty of time in his home dimension wandering around the city as well.

This series/project (NeonBrite) follows Wispy as he embarks the adventure that is his life

Notes:

Due to his strange ancestry, he has a Toon Force body/abilities. This means he's able to be hurt/injured to the point of dismemberment and will be fine in a matter of seconds to a mere couple of hours and other such known cartoon logic

The convenience store that Wispy and Dave work in is called The Millenni-Yum, a basic combo of 7/11, AMPM, and the convenience store from Clerks

One of his favorite places to eat in Bright Light City is Lime Ricky's Pizza and Soda Bar and is very buddy-buddy with owner and thus gets lots of discounts/free food from there

One of Wispy's biggest crushes is Ivy Buckingham, a plant skunk who owns a flower/plant shop that's set up across the street from Wispy and Dave's apartment building. Due to his overall chaotic personality, he comes off as more crass, abrasive and immature than he would like to her. As a result he sometimes tries way too hard to impress her

----------------------------------------------------

I hope that you all enjoy him in his current form, enjoy my friends!!

Heya guys, I finally made myself a brand spankin new OC!! His name is Zipp and he's Wispy's beach bum surfer dude cousin who lives in a small trailer on the beach that's an hour away from Bright Light City!

(more info down below)

Cousin of Wispy Brighton, Zipp Brighton is a well known local beach bum and surfer dude who lives right in a very small trailer home that is parked right on the edge of Citrus Beach, a very popular beach with a vacation town that's located an hour outside of Bright Light City

He and Wispy were born a year apart from one another and they have a very strong brother-like bond with each other that's been there ever since childhood, they both LOVE to party hard, chill out with bongs in their hands, and eat ungodly amounts of food until they both pass out together!

Zipp frequently hangs out at The Punch Bowl, a very popular tiki bar that is set in the middle of the beach that is owned by Jungle Juice, half of the time drinking until he's on the verge of getting cut off (and eating their food). The half being spent on flirting and ""laying his charm"" on pretty much all the patrons of the bar that he finds attractive

Zipp is also infamous for never being seen wearing any shirt of any kind whatsoever (except for tank tops on rare occasions) and if asked to by any establishment, he will outright refuse!

He is a very accomplished surfer in his area and has won at least the top three places at least over a dozen times in his time being in surfing competitions. He also loves swimming, volleyball, jet skiing, and boogie boarding

He visits his cousin Wispy in Bright Light City every three months or so just to have fun and catch up with each other in general. Wispy goes over to Citrus Beach every summer to visit Zipp and as a sort of "summer vacation" for himself. They both write each other letters and text each other on the phone basically everyday!

-----------------------------------------------------

Notes:

His two favorite fruits + flavors in general are lemon and lime

He had learned how to swim at the age of 2 since his parents would constantly have him swimming around in some body of water since they all grew up in a swamp (yes, Zipp and his family swam in a swamp)

He smells of tequila, sea salt, bog water, and weed

He used to have a belly button ring, but it got torn off because he thought it was a good idea to attach himself to a boat with a rope tied to his belly button ring so he could jet ski that way. It didn't end well

He does have a crush on Emmett and every time he visits Wispy, he's always trying to get "closer" to Emmett by any means possible. Wispy is amused by it and lowkey would like to see them get together lol

He absolutely HATES winter and cold weather, it means no fun for him (plus he hates freezing his ass off)

Hope you all enjoy!!

[ART COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!!!]

I now present: Dave!! It's been soso long since I've updated him as well so this was super nice to draw too!

(info is below the read more)

Wispy's room mate, co worker, and (sorta reluctant) friend, Dave Fitzgerald is a deadpan, stony, stoic, and overall quiet "Eeyore" personality type that had decided to be room mates with Wispy due to convenience since they both already knew each other prior to living together

His mother is a rabbit while his father is a goat, making him a hybrid with high speeds, agility, climbing, vertical jumps/leaps, and having a very strong kick, but he never seems to use these skills very often due to only needing them for certain situations

He does find Wispy to be obnoxious, annoying, loud, and an overall disruption and obstacle in his life, but due to knowing him so long and having actually been protected and aided by Wispy on more than a few occasions in the past, he chooses to tolerate all of shenanigans he's put through with a blank face

Dave and Wispy also share the exact same shift as each other in the Millenni-Yum, so a lot of the actual work like cleaning, stocking shelves and looking over security cameras lands on him while Wispy either just stays at the counter or out goofing off with Emmett outside. Dave puts up with this to (to an extent) due to not wanting Wispy to be fired (along with himself ofc) since if they work the same job at the same time, that means there's twice more money for them and their needs

He eventually wants to open up his own carnival food truck that would be nomadic depending on where the fairs he's following would take him, serving his specialty fried foods such as the one of his own invention: The Deep Fried Pizza Cone (deep fried cone shaped pizza slices that holds in whatever savory dish you'd like (such as mac n cheese, bits of chicken such as sweet n sour or buffalo, and even alfredo). But due to life circumstances (living with Wispy lol) and being overall a broke 23 year old who gets paid minimum wage

------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

Wispy and Dave have been friends since childhood ever since Wispy stood up to a bully for Dave when he was a new student who had moved to Bright Light City that year and also was two grades below Wispy

He's a very skilled cook who has been into it as a passion and hobby ever since his childhood, since he and his mom would spend a lot of their time cooking together as a bonding experience

In high school, he used to be in lots of sports, such as soccer, football, track and many many others, after graduating high school, he grew disinterested in them and never did them much again. The only ones he still does are rock/mountain climbing, hiking, martial arts (especially karate and capoeira), and vertical jumping

He has a side job of creating recipes and cooking up prototypes of said recipes for Lime Ricky's Pizza, he and Lime Ricky (the owner) as a result get along pretty decently. It's just that Lime Ricky is an extremely stinky and greasy (literally and metaphorically) person so it's hard to work in person with him

He has been mistaken several times as being part demon/imp by strangers or people he just met due to the shape of his horns being demon-esqe

------------------------------------------------------

All done!

I really do hope that you guys enjoy him!!

I now present to you all: Ivy Buckingham!! One of my older OCS that I haven't drawn or (sadly) paid much attention to ever since I created her around 2018-2019! Luckily now she looks ever better than she did before!

(more in-depth info will be below)

Owner of a semi-popular flower shop that resides in Bright Light City and across the street from Wispy and Dave's apartment complex, Ivy Buckingham is a species of skunk called the Plant Skunk

A special species of skunk that instead of omitting a foul oder like most skunks do, the plant skunk will alternatively omit a pleasant scent similar to many types of flowers and fauna, having their own scent special to them to tell each other apart (for example for Ivy, her scent smells of roses) and they also are seen having a certain plant specific to the individual plant skunk wrapped around their tails (for Ivy, she has Ivy vines wrapped around her tail). On top of that, they are also very well known to have elemental abilities that are connected to plants and the earth, hence being able to grow plants with nothing but their paws and tail

Ivy had moved to Bright Light City from a small country town that was very well known for their farming, agriculture, and most of all, their flowers and fauna to start a life of her own and to expose the city folks to the beauty of nature via her plants. She was 22 years old when she arrived in Bright Light City and met Wispy and Dave while she was finding her way around the city and had just so happened to walk into the Millenni-Yum to ask for directions to her new home at the time, Wispy having an instant crush on her since

The flower shop that she had opened a year later is called The RoseLace Flower Boutique, which specializes in flowers, succulents (such as cactuses, aloe), and evergreen climbing vines (such as ivy plants, star jasmine, and clematis). The shop has been featured in a few gardening and home decorating magazines and has had a feature on a popular gardening tv show called Rose Tinted Sundays with Ms. Daisy Duke

Wispy and Ivy are both currently crushing on each other and they both love to tease each other, whether it be by flirting on Ivy's part or saying outrageous bullcrap on Wispy's end. Due to the both of them still feeling like they still need time for themselves and their careers (for Ivy at least) and both still wanting to date other people (they're both poly anyhow so even when they do start officially dating, they would still be WILDIN), they are only on a super casual dating status

To describe Ivy's personality in the simplest of terms: she's simultaneously a southern belle and a party girl all in one. She loves having a good time in any way she can (from taking care of her plants to going to the nightclubs around the city to party) and is very well known for her flirtatious manner towards those she finds an attraction to all while still being down to earth, level headed, and very intelligent despite how she presents herself and will not take any sort of BS she feels she doesn't have to deal with

----------------------------------------------------

Notes:

She has graduated college with a degree in Botany/Plant Sciences

One of her favorite nightclubs in Bright Light City to go to is The Uranium Banana, Bright Light City's biggest and most famous nightclub of all. It is also Wispy's favorite nightclub and they frequently bump into each other there

She has a childhood best friend that is from and still lives in her hometown named Melly Lynn, who is a watermelon farmer there. They send each other letters pretty much every week or so

Her father was a farmer while her mother was a florist in their hometown, her mother even owning her own flower shop there, which was what inspired Ivy to open The RoseLace

Her favorite kinds of plants and flowers are roses, ivy, hen and chicks, aloe, clematis, star jasmine, daisies, buttercups, irises, daffodils, and carnations

She lives in a small condo that is right next to the RoseLace, so going to and from work for her is a breeze!

------------------------------------------------------

This was so much work for me this time around, but I hope you guys can admire it!

Please enjoy!!
