First up: How to draw a SqueakyFriend-style fluffy in 8 easy steps!
When I first posted that tutorial, a commenter said “now add the cheese grater”. So I did!
Next up… The anatomy of a SqueakyFriend-style fluffy!
Last up… Quirks!
Quirk 1:
A fairly rare mutation - in addition to single-color and rainbow-color manes, sometimes a fluffy ends up with two secondary colors! They don’t blend, it just looks like they dyed half their mane. If the fluffy has wings tipped with the secondary color, the tips may or may not be similarly affected.
Theoretically these fluffies should be worth more, but that’s only if all three colors are good - a bad doubled secondary color just makes it look like it’s rolled in garbage. Either way, be careful of scammers with hair dye.
Quirk 2:
The most common types of fluffy eyes are single-colored irises with pupils that match, though perhaps with a darker or lighter hue (even white!). But there are other variants - fluffies with no pupils at all, spiral patterned eyes, Doubled Color eyes, even those who have one eye of each type. Of note is that while it’s not too rare for bat/demon fluffs to get darkened or colored sclera, in very rare cases regular fluffies get them too.
Unlike other features, the eyes don’t affect the fluffy’s value, to discourage people from trying to force a specific eye look and crippling their pets. The only exception is if a fluffy has mismatched eyes, which will lower its value as it makes the fluffy look damaged.
In fluffies who get Doubled Color eyes, the iris and pupil get wholly different colors. It’s unrelated to heterochromia, but they can end up with both. Let’s not think about how that would look. So generally, when it comes to eyes, go nuts!
By the way, while it’s rare, not only the mane can get a “rainbow” color - the fur and eyes can too. This is solely because the mental image of a fluffy getting rainbow for every color is very funny to me.
And now you have everything you need to make your very own SqueakyFriend style fluffy!
