Hello everyone, and welcome to the design phase for our Official Furry Amino Mascot!

✧•───────────•✧

Here's a link back to Phases 1 and 2 for reference.

First, you all chose to have a CANINE mascot, then...

With the most recent poll you chose to have an African Wild Dog mascot!

Here is a link to the African Wild Dog page on National Geographic

, AWDs are different to other canines. They have round ears and a distinctly dappled coat!

RULES FOR THE ENTRIES

:star: The chosen species via polls was African Wild Dogs - Any entries that are not this will not be considered. :star:

:star: You may be wondering: what about a hybrid between that and another animal? - Explicit hybrids between our chosen species and, for example, wolves, dragons, or cats are not permitted, as the community did not vote for this. But small design embellishes such as wings, numerous tails, extra limbs, spikes and similiar are permitted on the design as accent pieces. However the character MUST be recognisable as our chosen species. :star:

:star: Bases may be used. If one is used, it must be explicitly credited in the post description or image caption. :star:

:star: Please don't put Team Amino’s logo (The blue-purple app icon of Amino with the “A” on it) on the design. :star:

What about the character's gender?

The Furry Fandom is fortunate to have individuals of every gender identity. From CIS, to existing out of the binary spectrum and more. Therefore, to accommodate to the best of our abilities to this wide community we have decided to firmly make the character:

This means that they exist out of the gender binary of male and female, a lot of characters exist like this in media, often video games so the character is easily more relateable. An example would be Frisk from Undertale.

We decided to do this, and have the character be comfortable with any pronoun to allow more of our to feel comfortable and relate to them.

This means that the character MUST have an androgynous body, this means no feminine or masuline features. This is so the character can fit the widest amount of representations. In the future, our wonderful mascot can be drawn presenting however you like. A dress, a suit, some shorts - everything! Having a gender-neutral appearance ensures that they can present however they want, or how you want them to.
