It's annoying to me when, in an animal comic, the bad guys, or even good guys, are cliché and always one color, usually black or white, depending on whether they're good or bad characters.

It's kinda racist, you know?

So, to try and fix this problem, I've decided to see if a simple, random number color picking thingamajig will work, to try and stop good guys, bad guys, and even random filler characters from falling into the horrible hell pit of cliché fur color and lame-o plots.

The cliché plots… well, that's your problem to fix. But at least this might help to create a less-cliché main character or antagonist.

So, to do this, pick a number from 1-X, or perhaps ask a friend, sibling or dog (though you might not get a response from the last) to pick a number for you. And don't cheat, either, because then there's no reason to do this!

Base fur color
(pick a number from 1-6)

1 Light grey
2 Black
3 White
4 Grey
5 Tan
6 Dark grey

Underside fur color
(pick a number from 1-3)

1 White
2 Light brown
3 None

Ticking (flecks of different colored fur, usually on the back, legs or face)
(pick a number from 1-8)

1 Black
2 White
3 Tan
4 Grey
5 Dark Brown
6 None
7 Light grey
8 Dark grey

Eye Color, Natural (choose either natural or unnatural)
(pick a number from 1-6)

1 Yellow
2 Yellow-green
3 Brown
4 Grey
5 Green
6 Yellow-brown

Eye Color, Unnatural (choose either natural or unnatural)
(pick a number from 1-6)

1 Purple
2 Red
3 Orange
4 Blue
5 White
6 Blue-green

Now just add some extra markings, personality, whatever you want, and try and keep both your characters, and you plot – if you're making a comic, animation or book – original, natural and believable!

Because I'm really annoyed by sparklewolves.
What is this category I don't even

Also what is this title I don't even

Anyway. I was thinking about cliche' characters and cliche' animal coat colors, and thinking "maybe if I just made a sort of random thing, that, if you... say... picked a number for each category, then it'd be easier to have a random, unbiased coat color for you characters..."

So, this.

I might do some other versions, like a cat/fox/rat one, maybe.

I dunno, this is fun.

I rather like the idea of this!  I think this will really help :)  Also, I agree with you.  I don't understand why evil characters always have to have black fur, and opposite for heroes.  It makes no sense :/  I will definitely use this sometime! :D
