#harekoto

I typically use bases to chill out and let my brain and hands rest, and then sometimes I find a way to make it a lotta work anyways. I gave up on keeping the shading consistent halfway through, I don't like shading so you get what you get lol.

Also bonus headcanon for those that clicked the read me and scrolled: I think Daisuke literally cannot wear the school uniform because he's too tall. Yu's dang stomach is visible and Daisuke's taller than him, I don't think the shirt and pants would fit.

Design notes I guess?

His paws are supposed to be like his reload gloves.

The dots on his tail are like his headphones.

Kenji's going to have heart markings on his ears so Makoto got teardrop-ish ones on his.

No pawpads because rabbits don't have those!

If canon Makoto has a palette this design can be drawn with it. If canon Makoto wears an outfit he can be drawn wearing it. If I've ever depicted Makoto in any way this design can be drawn like that. Since this is not a sona or OC or anything my "rules" are really dang loose.

He's a hare since Yu is a dog and Akira is a cat. It's also because Kotone is a rabbit, so together they make that "rabbit to hare" scale meme image. I didn't want any of the protags to be the same species.

Yuki is based on Tiffany, Francine and Genji. His design wasn't changed much, the biggest differences being his ear shapes to be closer to AC rabbits, and changing his hair gradient to a solid color lowlight. It was too busy with the proper gradient.

His personality would be Lazy, maybe gaining Normal traits as he's befriended.

His hobbies would be Walking Around and Music.

For trades he'd offer any and all furniture that can play records, alongside the occasional piece of fruit. A rare trade would be a KK song you don't own yet.

His signature furniture item, something he won't ever get rid of or trade, would be a Tape Deck or a CD player. He'd also have records decorating his walls.

Bonus of he will stop singing if he notices another Villager approaching. He will not acknowledge his singing. He doesn't sing while Kenji is singing.

--

Kenji is based on Butch. His design is practically unchanged outside of making his eyes and eyebrows way bigger so he reads as cutesy to kinda contrast with Yuki.

Kenji's personality I'm less sure about. I'm leaning Smug mixed with Peppy depending on how close he is to someone.

His hobbies would be Shopping For Clothes and Fashion.

His trade items would mostly be clothes, a surprise every time.

His signature item would be a Vintage Dresser or a Japanese Dresser. He'd also have one or two Gracie or Labelle items out on display that he occasionally wears.
